That's very much an artifact of parts of the east coast. My sister (like, totally a native English speaker from California) had the same issue.

That sounds like a very American thing to say. You're talking about Italian law here?

Why? What would make you think this has any impact?

If the EU wants an extra-territorial legal framework, why can’t a US website owner do the same in their TOS? That’s a perfectly legal thing to do in the US.

The knife cuts both ways.

I don't think I understand the question.

Which makes it a very good bet that they're Canadian.

Not really a dead giveaway. Lawyer is the more commonly-used term in Canada too.

No. It looks like they live in South Australia from a previous comment of theirs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25174647

Solicitor doesn't necessarily mean Canada.

Correct, they live in Australia (it's in their comment history)

Afaik AWS and GCP refuse visa gift cards, although it's been a while since I tried. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Oracle is the same.

While it might be one of the last charcoal burning sites locally, large-scale charcoal burning is an active problem - https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/charcoal-burning....

Last I heard, fully half the air pollution in the Los Angeles basin was blamed on barbeque restaurants. It may be a higher proportion, now, as the cars have got cleaner, but the leaf blowers may have taken up the difference.

Milkmen 100% exist in the US also. Several houses close by have delivery coolers for https://www.smithbrothersfarms.com/ and their trucks appear regularly.

I kind of had to laugh about this. The vast majority of European written media over, say, the last two thousand years, is Christian faith based.

I think it would accurately be described as Christian derived (being Western) but, given the exponential growth of published writing over time, I doubt the majority of written media is Christian based. Just my hunch..

Can't talk about the kids part, but Uber Pool was definitely a popular thing pre pandemic. People were happy to get in cars with strangers.

Yeah I was talking about that with my gf yesterday. She commented on how it was basically a little over bus fare to go to and from work. It’s kinda sad that it’s gone due to the pandemic. It made Uber a lot more affordable.

I haven't heard many people say they miss it since it's gone. I sure don't, and back then I would get UberX most of the time when Uber Pool was available. I've been avoiding getting in a situation where I need to take Uber and Lyft and using public transit most of the time and it's much better.

It's way off topic. The Q-and-A here is are about getting actual legal expertise applied to questions, not opinions about how US immigration law is flawed. You're not wrong to say it, it's just that this isn't the place/time.

So Ctrl-F for proberts if your time's so valuable.
