I've never used Uber by myself (I think I've used it twice when someone else was organizing transport) as I've heard a lot about exploitation of workers in the beginning so I decided to just not use it.

However, as I dreaded calling a taxi service - I never knew, which taxi service is good/had good prices, it was frequent, that taxi driver would take you long way just so you would pay more, and of course old mercedes which smelled awful was a norm here where I live. Some people talked about how taxis are awful but nothing could be changed.

Just then Uber was introduced here, few months later we have multiple Taxi application, where you see how much you will pay in advance, you can call taxi with ease for exact time. Thanks Uber, you can go now ;)


If the main driving force leaves(Uber), its just a matter of time until all the companies revert back to the old standard. It will be a slow boiling frog but it will happen.


I haven't played the DLC, but base game can be really creepy - especially the fog planet (with those fishes or how to call them)


One way for Kagi to have more incentives for privacy of their users would be moving to EU where there laws much more stricter.


MS Teams has the "you're on mute" notification.


Depends on brand. I have one with 4 distinct controls for each heat source. But when I was changing my stove, this was something I looked for - I've used those that can set only one heat source at the time, and they are infuriating for me too.

As for knobs, I'm willing to bet that there are some induction stoves with knobs.


There are. Like you said, you just have to know that's a feature you want and look out for it.
