No, it doesn't need to be. You just have it be opt-in, client-side.

it’s only legal if you agreed to the fee when you first took out the debt

Which is most likely defined in their terms.

There must be a way to pay without fee.

According to whom? As far as I'm aware, there's no such law in the US regarding private companies. So they can be jerks if they want to.

You'd think so, but then she doesn't actually want it, and you either need to gorge it down or waste it.

Am I uneducated about how SNAP works, or is this a rare Texas W?

I think it's outrageous that you can't even buy hygiene articles or medicines with SNAP, and in that way it'd make sense that something so non-nutritious like candy shouldn't be allowed? Alcohol isn't allowed either for example, despite the fact that beer would be (at least marginally) more nutritious than candy.

So other than increasing the stigma already associated with SNAP, is it really problematic to ban candy? Even if it's not a major cost point, the principle of "poor people are too dumb to budget themselves, so we won't let them buy necessities like diapers and tampons... but we'll gladly let them buy candy" just feels wrong to me?

If your playbooks don't include an autoremove, you're doing it wrong!

Or rather, lessons learned from when the default /boot partition was only like 100 MB.

Despite his unhygienic lifestyle, he lived to the age of 94. He died a few months after bathing for the first time in 60 years, having been persuaded by the inhabitants of the village to do so.

Damn, maybe he should have kept following his instinct.

host of other chemicals also cause a wide range of health issues

It's mostly the tobacco causing health issues, not the wonderfully addictive nicotine. But yeah, it's a good thing that flavored cigarettes are banned.

Though it seems like big tobacco found a loophole on the first day, as you can still get menthol cigarettes in EU... it's just not as strongly minted as it was prior to the ban.

then you're going to have to do the math re: how much you're actually going to use

Sure, you're probably going to spray a couple seconds at the most, which would be like less than 30 kcal. Basically nothing that you'd really count, unless you're on a super-strict diet.

But the problem is that it's misleading. Uneducated shoppers might choose that brand specifically because "I'm on a diet", instead of buying a cheaper non-spray version. And/or proceed to put a ton on their food, without realizing avocado oil is almost 900kcal/100g.

"usually all have the same" isn't fully true either in my experience. Are you really going to eat just 1/3 of a candy bar? It says 100 calories in big letters, surely it'd be much healthier than the avocado oil bottle that says 120 calories per serving.

"Serving size" numbers are bullshit and should be banned.

pptx only came in late 2006/early 2007.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The picture is wrong. It has been banned in Norway since the 1980s, same as Sweden. Then in 2004, the EU messed up and approved it. When Sweden and some other countries made a storm, it got banned again in the EU 2007.
