If your purpose for using cash or Monero is privacy, that’s fine. If your purpose is to avoid paying fees to third parties just for the privilege of paying by a certain method, the swap service just takes the place of Visa/Mastercard.

As a 911 operator, I hate the SOS function and it has just gotten worse. Between this and the “car crash” detection, I spend 40% of my work day tracking down false alarms, often at the expense of using resources for actual emergencies. If I ever meet the person who decided to turn on the SOS function by default, I’m going to punch them squarely in the nose.

Ben and Jerry’s used to make oatmeal cookie chunk that was phenomenal. They discontinued it in 2014.

As a full-time linux user since 2005 and a guy who swears every time he has to use a windows machine now, the Windows phone was actually really good. It had very few apps available and it certainly never took off commercially, but my girlfriend had one back in the day and it was a surprisingly nice piece of work.

I have no doubts that if it had gained traction and still been around today that it would be absolutely unusable.

I strangely went the opposite way on that, I liked them as a kid but find them too sour now.

Best of luck! One of these times it’ll stick, and until it does every attempt is worth it anyway.

Mullvad is great, but they just very recently took away the option of port forwarding, so torrenting with it is a problem now when it comes to seeding.
