It's worse than that. To be comparable the reason for the three days advance notice needs to be the garage renting the cars out and needs enough to make sure yours will be available to you. Oh and this isn't instead of charging you to park there but rather it is in addition to.
'"some banks even allow you to withdraw up to 5,000 francs per day (or 10,000 a month) at the cash machine without advance notice."
I should be able to withdraw 100% of my money immediately, no matter the amount, or else it's not my money.'
Whether you agree or not is beside the point. This is not a troll and highlights moderation abuse. Mod points aren't for silencing those you disagree with.
5k now and it doesn't need be a single transaction, if they detect a combination of transactions they think is meant to defeat said limit that also triggers looking more closely.
Seems like they are stuck in the past when a swiss numbered account offered you privacy and your funds immunity. Now they hand over records and money to foreign powers like any other bank so what is the point?
Consciousness exists because I can perceive myself. It is as simple as that. "We" may or may not exist, I perceive others and they seem to be self-aware like me but that could well be a self-reinforcing delusion.
The big issue that stands in the way of your assertion is our inability to actually create anything with even a minimal sense of self. We can build abstraction on top of systems and complex ordered systems so that those pieces come out in ways that match the "code" for desired outcomes. We have made some level of progress toward making that behave in a way that shifts around pieces semi-autonomously toward some result. The problem is that everything we build is merely a logical abstraction on top of something and given meaning by our own consciousness and not innate to the actual medium.
'"You" are a story that your brain tells itself.'
There simply is no direct evidence to support this claim. We can't even successfully model it at this point, let alone prove that the observer is manifested by the medium rather than the medium being a tool of the observer. Sure we can alter perceptions to some extent via physical processes but we can also do that with a broken scale, fake image, or any number of blatantly external mechanisms. It is very easy to forget that science is an applied philosophic model which provides results we perceive as useful but it is just a model. Just as geometry is useful even though there aren't really any circles, points, lines, or squares... those are just ideas we made up and then ran with.
This will go through lots of phases, including (a very long while from this) we'll be able to reanimate the cells but find that their former electrical state is too degraded to recover the person. Eventually through some laborious side channel technique we'll be able to recover that state. Some day you'll be able to do it and upload an entire graveyard of consciousnesses onto the galactic quanta-net just by thinking about a code word that is information entangled to a chain of sequences that unfold into the solution.
In the meantime, seriously you made meat twitch again. You didn't bring complex multi-cellular life back to life, you brought individual cells into some minimal form of reanimation. Given we can do that all day long with bacteria it shouldn't surprise anyone.
Yes, I thought Europeans were supposed to have more progressive ideas about the natural human form and sex. It seems you guys are just as bad as everyone here in the US.
As a kid and a teenager it seemed like things were progressing. I expected that by this time we'd have rolled back our puritan attitudes and be more like Europe. Now Europe is apparently more of a puritan state than the US was and the US is worse than ever.
30 years ago? I've yet to see a live map of any sort on a commercial flight. That would be all the things they've just described but where exactly does this supposed map live? You've got a seat back, potentially a window, and a screen up front that shows airline commercials and lame movies. Oh and a headphones jack. Once upon a time you also had an ash tray but I only got to use it once as a kid and pesky adults all ready to jump in and parent ruined it.
Of course time travel and parallel dimensions are involved somehow. That IS a duh but whose power do they use and how? Is it all something to do with Captain Marvel? Do they bring in yet someone else new? Some new technology uncovered? Is it something to do with Ant-man in the quantum realm?
Those are the burning questions. I guess some people could be surprised by another character you know is coming back but really did anyone think they weren't going to bring back all the women and minority heroes in the current social climate? That would be suicide. If someone doesn't make it, it will be a white male character who isn't popular with the ladies. Maybe Doctor Strange, which sucks because he is a great character.
Hardly, the US created Israel at the end of WWII. We supply all their arms, we can disable their arms, we funnel intelligence data there from our domestic spying programs so we can request it back without warrants, we have them hold and torture suspects on our behalf and of course we also maintain military forces there.
The US could overthrow Israel in under 24hrs with the downside being that legally being part of the US would end some of the benefits I mentioned above and geopolitical outrage. The outrage doesn't much matter at this stage since the world is outraged already. What are they going to do, displace the foam around their mouths with more foam? Best yet, we can stop that sort of behavior once that vile and unpopular Trump character is out of office. What about the US Israel? Oh, well what is done is done if we withdraw our presence it would destabilize an already volatile region....
Well they don't. First there aren't really militant atheists in the sense you suggest. Atheists don't attack anyone, it isn't an attack to sweep faulty legs out from under your argument. Second most of what atheists are saying undermines all the faiths you mentioned, Christians just tend to see everything they say as being targeted at them. At least here in the US they are massive majority shove their beliefs into every aspect of everyone's life while pretending that preventing them from doing that is somehow oppressing them. There is this giant victim narrative spread among Christians while they go about demanding the right to impose their faith on their towns, employees, students, and job functions.
Not an ally? Israel is a hair away from being a US colony. Of course our policy of letting our colonies maintain independence for the sake of good PR has been backfiring. Look what the UK did? Since we are being cast as the bad guys we should probably go ahead and snatch them up officially.
One joker in the UK talked about the US military being much more powerful but taking forever to deploy... in a discussion about the US military bases in the UK. How long does it take to deploy when you are already there? Hell, the UK at least has some of their own arms. Israel gets their gear from us. Victory by lojack.
I on the other hand will see it in the theater because it is best kind of content to watch there that actually benefits from the few advantages a large theater setup has over my home theater. It's the home copy I'll pirate. Why buy the blu-ray when the pirated copy will combine remux copies of the best video and audio combination of any released disc as well as all the subtitles (including the ones only released on BD HDR matched to the 4k stream)?
The group I follow is working on going back and doing The Aviator right now. Not the greatest movie but they are analyzing 6 completely separate BD discs released in different parts of the world. Each is different. You'd think they'd all be the same film with the differences only if remastered or what have you but they are actually distinct with each region compressing the video and audio independently. They might have slightly varied timecodes so adjusting the playback settings on the container or shaving a hair off the beginning and end might be needed to sync the audio with a different region but the common subtitles give that adjustment to the exact frame. No filtering or compressing is done, the video is just extracted from BD and put into MKV untouched. The result is the remux copy is generally superior to any BD ever released. Well, at least in terms of the actual feature content.
It doesn't really spoil much. If you've watched the trailers and people taking them apart you know most everything in this leak anyway. Might as well be another trailer.
The big question is how they reboot after Thanos killed everyone and that isn't spoiled in this leak. There are a couple people who weren't in the other trailers... ooooo big deal. Look, if the comic associated with a character has relatively small sales, the character might not come back if they have heavy sales they are definitely coming back. If someone doesn't come back and there is a big upset about it, they'll just bring them back some other way later because there will be money in it.
"What's preposterous is that we believe there is a specific form of a mythical creature."
No there is are specific words with definitions. Whether those words refer to mythical or otherwise fictional elements is beside the point. If we were to discover or create some sort of drake those words could apply to it and convey meaning.
Words and their definitions are all fictional, they are not innate, we made them all up. Reptiles are reptiles because we invented a classification system, invented words and definitions to go with it, and classified creatures according to those definitions there is no reason we couldn't have sliced up nature along different lines. The definitions/words in some cases go quite far back in modern human history but humans still made them all up. We say things like "the definition was wrong" or otherwise "correct" categorizations and definitions to try to make them more useful or consistent not because they actually are innate wrong in some way... they can't be wrong, they mean whatever we say they mean.
Are you kidding, in the time it took him to arm his spear and take down the dragon she could have just wiped out the night king if she'd gone on the direct offensive immediately. The whole thing would have been over.
Of course that bit might have failed without her magically teleporting to their location north of the wall from the deep south in minutes.

Okay but ignorant statements are by definition not trolls. It isn't whether he is right or wrong, the issue is moderation abuse.

The entire country is just the size of one metro area here in the US. http://www.travelersdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/switzerland-dallas.jpg
While the joke wouldn't be literally true it does seem fair to poke at.

That doesn't mean he is wrong.
My wife tells me she has seen the map but only on long international flights. So not really something most of us see regularly.
Yes, I thought Europeans were supposed to have more progressive ideas about the natural human form and sex. It seems you guys are just as bad as everyone here in the US.

Israel is a US colony not a UK colony. The UK is also a US colony even if they've been given far too loose a leash.
Hardly, the US created Israel at the end of WWII.

A fact I'm sure George R. R. Martin, medieval historian would have schooled them on if he'd been involved.

White dragons have an ice/cold breath weapon, not blue fire. Using his breath weapon on the wall just would have thickened it not destroyed it.
Are you kidding, in the time it took him to arm his spear and take down the dragon she could have just wiped out the night king if she'd gone on the direct offensive immediately. The whole thing would have been over.
Of course that bit might have failed without her magically teleporting to their location north of the wall from the deep south in minutes.
I don't know, first they are Wyverns and second white dragons don't breath fire. The entire thing is preposterous.
