In my experience, they are all under one domain. I would expect my browser to warn me of anything redirecting to a different domain. Its a big warning sign. If my bank did that kind of thing (or any site that involves financial transactions), I would use another.

So when you go to amazon and pay with paypal or by bank transfer, it's all under one domain?
I kinda doubt it.
And I suppose you completely boycott google, because they use (and redirect you between) around 2500 domains -- the toy security tool in FF won't tell you when that happens, though, because the FF guys kowtow to even the lowliest google employee.

That's a bit different - I click on a link, knowing and expecting to be transferred to a different domain. A redirect is done without user interaction.

I would be very, very concerned if my bank used redirection. To the extent of changing bank.

Just got back from a wonderful vacation in Estonia and Saint Petersburg! 
I really dislike airplanes. My left ear is blocked since the plane took off in Sint Petersburg this afternoon (and yes, I've tried all known remedies, but they didn't work). At least the searing pain of my brain trying to escape by splitting my skull in half is gone. Somehow my head really can't handle the difference in pressure 
Anyway, good to be back! The best part of a vacation is always coming home
Hard to believe that I was visiting the Church of the Savior on Blood[^] this morning and that I'm off to my own bed in the Netherlands in a few

Yes, I'll bet you really missed the hutspot, stampot, snert, and two-slices-of-bread-with-a-slice-of-cheese.
OK, OK, so there are times when even I would find the use of a sarcasm emoji appropriate (not to advise, mind, but to overkill).

I never eat those actually!

Cheese on bread is such a waste of cheese! The two really don't compliment each other (although it seems that's quite an unpopular opinion) 
Speaking of bread, the only bread I've ever really liked is the good old Dutch bread

Which sort? The sort that tastes like it was made of sawdust or the other one that is more neutral and does not taste like much at all?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

The one that bends without breaking. Foreign breads don't do that

Depends on the bread, depends on the cheese!
The world is full of cheeses, from Cheddars through Stinking Bishop to unpasteurised Brie. It's not all Gouda that feels and tastes like bicycle inner tube! 
And breads...ah, breads! From Olive breads, Ciabatta, Baguettes, Soda Bread, Wholemeal, bagels, crumpets, proper muffins, cotton-wool-white rubbish, to a fresh loaf straight from the oven!
And then, there is that Maestro of the cold-day-quick-lunch: Cheese on Toast! Or it's slightly more refined variant Welsh Rarebit!
Bread and cheese are a marriage made in heaven, if you get the right ones!

As a fellow Dutchie I know he's talking about this "boterham met kaas"[^] 
Now a croissant and brie, that's a whole different story

That looks like a Gouda sandwich. 
Dull.
Dry.
Dreary.
You know why they coat the Gouda with red wax, don't you? So you can throw it away without getting Gouda on your hands and it'll roll a long, long way.

Well, you do eat your frites with mayo instead of salt and vinegar as the potato intended...
Mind you I can't talk - I like my kebabs with coleslaw and hot chilli sauce!

Well duh (although I prefer mine with mayo and sate sauce (and sometimes onion), somehow we call it frites "war").

I recently had salt and vinegar Pringles. It burned my mouth. I couldn't taste for a day. It was amazing

Call me a curmudgeon, but that's why I like to take vacations at home, or at least no more than 3 hours driving/train from home.

So do I, but I also want to see the world. My next vacation is probably with Christmas and that one will be at home

So do I, there's no better place than Home.. My inner shutter bug takes me out to sees places - but if not doing anything - home is the best place for vacation

Wow, if it's really that good I'll seriously consider buying one, thanks!

Ah, what a small world. I am in Saint Petersburg, and have just posted something to The Lounge, and your post was immediately below it. What are the chances?

I'd have that checked by a doctor, can sometimes be a symptom of some underlying problem in the ear.

It's better now
I'd rather not see a doctor.
Last time I went to see a doctor was because I'd been coughing for weeks and my dad was worried. I got some prescription drugs which sort of helped. But was it the drugs, or was it just because I naturally recovered after a few weeks?
Time before that was when I got back from a tropical vacation and my leg was covered in red bumps. He took a picture with his phone, send it to a dermatologist, got a reply that no one knew and billed me €80,-

I set my path on a Mobius strip to keep it on just one track.
But then one day I met myself,
upside-down and coming back.
