Depends where you're coming from. Visitors from other EU countries (and the UK, for now) will use their existing data plan, since the EU enforces free roaming amongst member countries. If I was coming from elsewhere, I would likely do

Having now done all of this yourself, do you think the amount they charge is reasonable, given how incredibly painful it is to do this on your own?

Their website is just their logo. I'm assuming that's because they aren't offering service in the country I live in, but I'd expect them to at least say that? As it stands, I don't know if the page is broken, if m

I'm in Germany, so definitely inside the EU. Though I'm using a non-European DNS (NextDNS) so maybe that has something to do with it?

The issue is that there are so, so many edge cases to worry about. Simple example: someone decides to troll you in your self-driving car and steps out in front of it. You don't have controls in the car, so you can't go around them

Hey? We certainly do, unfortunately. It's still quicker to fly Berlin -> Stuttgart (for example) than it is by train (and much quicker than car - 1:15 plane, 5:40 train, 5:30-8:30(!) car). Another, more extreme, example: Oslo ->

Student Loans in the UK can work like this - you repay, I think, 9% above £25,000, and it's wiped after 30 years, regardless of how much is left. Some details may be different depending on exactly when the loan was issued. So if you

Just out of curiosity, how would that work north of the artic circle? I accept there aren't a lot of people up there, but they do exist. Plus, as another commentator pointed out, your schedule would drift daily, and I don't thin

Is iCloud really that lucrative? It's $9.99/month for 2TB - that's roughly 1/4 the price you'd pay for that much storage on "normal" S3, for example, or about what you'd pay for S3 glacier storage, no

Is that completely true, though? Almost all modern games include a (sometimes optional) tutorial, explaining the basics of how to play the game. Some number (a few? many? most?) of productivity apps will have in-app tutorials to get you up

I have massive front pockets, so my XS Max happily fits in there, along with my work iPhone 8, and I don't generally notice when sitting down. It seems weird to me that you'd have non-jeans pants that you _couldn't_ do that w

A little bit? It does say that many _could_ be committing, e.g., pension fraud, but that the primary issue is with the data, and the reliance on documents as the "source of truth" of these claims, and this seems to accurately sum

The phone app is a bit useless on its own. However, they do provide more explanations of grammatical points on their website, plus you can set it so you can type in answers rather than using the "word bank" on the desktop, which

Maybe? All I can say is that last couple of times I transited through LAX, I had to go all the way out through security and passport control - I could have walked out the front doors of the airport - and then all the way back through. I

Well, they received 12.5% of the vote for the 2017 German Federal Elections, and, consequently have 94 seats (12.8% of the total) in the Bundestag -- I feel like it would be quite hard to argue that "no one takes them seriously" w

It depends what you do - I've always had to timesheet, but that's because I was working for clients, so we had to at the very least make sure we were estimating correctly, or, at my current job, that we're billing the hours I

It goes up to 71% at £100,000+ (then drops again at £123,700), including NI and Student Loans - maybe even over 100%, depending on how much childcare you lose out on. For example, going from £100,000 to £100,001/year immediately cost

I can only assume you live somewhere pretty warm - if I don't have the heaters on in my apartment, the indoor air temperature will be roughly equal to the outdoor air temperature, which is frequently <5°C in winter. No amount of clo
