yes yes, I know the drill, which is why I love virtual accounts. Boop, they gone. Strongly recommend EVERYONE use them. You have no idea how secure the website is you are shopping on - or home depot for that matter .
I just find it astounding, irritating and elephanting criminal how companies like Apple bleed people.... assuming these people actually notice. I cite my mid 80s in-laws.

This.
Companies like Apple have zero problem taking advantage of people who won't do anything about a subscription or some service because of, well, the hassle involved in "changing anything". So imagine being part of "the ecosystem" when it comes to Apple's.
There people are there until they die. And then some.

AAPL will be the 2nd worst company of history to Dutch East India for a good while I expect.
Once people look back on it, they'll figure out it wasn't just PC-fanboyism tribalizing against a brand.
They're terrible.

Apparently this is actually a thing. My wife had told me about it.

The summer Olympics will soon be held in Paris. The government has spent $1.5B cleaning up the Seine so that it can be used for aquatic events. Macron and the mayor of Paris have promised to swim in the river to prove its cleanliness. Therefore, a mass "Defecate in the Seine" event is being organized. Apparently it's going swimmingly.

Perhaps the government should not have made public the amount spent in this.

"Vive la France!"
Bear with me here.
Having 4 USARMY soldiers and at least two Marines (all who are not IT and have gone outside the wire, well the 3rd son jumps out of planes - name your altitude) in the family, the French used to be despised or at least disparaged in this household. As for the # of people who have served or are serving, I have lost count. I have an extensive extended family, I quit facebook, I don't do X, and I don't do Instagram, so I have lost count of the great grand children, but I have a lock on the grand kids, so I count them as well.
That said, I came across this letter when two of my sons were in heavy combat: https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1wbyiq/american_troops_as_seen_by_a_french_soldier_a/[^]
I don't think this is false, I'm sure "snopes" will disparage it, but I want it to be real. My judgement of the French went up about 10000%. you are pissy, snobbish, down right annoying (I could be describing Americans or drunk British soccer fans - I'm on a roll this morning) but any country that has citizens doing this - hat's off. I also like farmers that revolt. Oh A, Canadian truckers too .
I don't like government as you can tell. we still have crap we're tearing down in Atlanta from 1996. You Frogs, keep it up
