  1. I wouldn't be embarrassed at all. I would have collected the $1, then spoken to the manager as well as making every effort to get the owner's contact info, and also taking a photo of the bartender. Hopefully I could get the guy fired. Next I would highlight the incident on all the social media relevant to the bar. To use an overused term which I hate for the first time, this is the embodiment of feeling "entitled". Tipping a bartender in general is ridiculous. One orders a beer, the bartender takes 1 - 3 steps and gets one, opens it while almost always putting his dirty fingers on the top of the bottle, and grabs a glass. For that he is entitled to a tip of any kind??? Let alone several dollars??? F anyone with that attitude. You are doing the bar owner a favor by getting him fired.
  2. I spoke too soon. Ep. 1 is a waste, but just watched ep. 2 - it's miles away from ep. 1 and getting back to the Gomorra we remember. Haven't seen more yet, but regretting I didn't already download ep. 3 so I could view it right now.
  3. I watched episode 1. I've seen all the previous seasons. as well as the "early years" feature . If you had no previous experience with Gomorrah, would you bother watching episode 2? I thought ep. 1 totally uninvolving and uninteresting. A lot of meaningless arbitrary action devoid of plot. Even though I've seen earlier seasons, none of what was going on had any meaning to me.
  4. I appreciate the info on SBS.com.au. However, I'd like to warn others about something which I haven't seen mentioned - SBS interfupts Gomorrah with commercials. I'm surprised anyone is willing to watch it under that condition.
  5. What % is Wise charging you for your transactions? Cash advances charge a big fee plus interest. Grand Papillon isn't seeing those charges. It's not just the cc company which is a surprise. Wise is known to charge low fees, but is going to be paying the cc company 2 - 3% on the transaction. So I wish this was accurate but it seems an unworkable situation for Wise, let alone the cc company giving in effect a free loan for ~ 45 days average.
  6. That's a great situation. If you don't mind - Is that a USA card? Which bank?
  7. Your credit card calls it a Cash Advance, or they accept it as a regular charge paid for with the cc?
  8. Are you positive all they did was make your partner the beneficiary? I'd heard of this previously, and checked with both the person who handles foreign accounts and then with the branch manager at my branch of Bangkok Bank, and both said what you describe is making it a shared account but with your name still the sole name on the front page. However, it is now a joint account and both the partner and you have control.
  9. Handwritten unwitnessed unnotarized holographic wills are valid in some states in the USA.
  10. Now 7.4 with 12k votes. (The cast/crew/film studio/family and friends now outvoted).
  11. TextNow displays short codes IIRC (unless that's changed) but now - for new accounts at least - it's necessary to.pay about 5 USD for having a permanent phone number. from what I've read . (I get a reminder from them monthly to use it or lose it so I text myself and retain the number). Cheaper than 36 USD/year for Ultra/Paygo.
  12. Thank you. I'm not a member so will have to wait till it turns up elsewhere I guess.
  13. Ronnie60 - What is the non US SIM card you use that apparently can be used anywhere in the world with no roaming fees? What is the monthly cost? As far as your issue- Is getting the new account worth $36 USD per year plus the cost of the Ultra/Paygo SIM?
  14. Re: "The Cockfields": any streaming or torrent sites have Season 2? I can't find it.
