It looks to be included. Sadly only supported in a handful fo countries yet.

MS and Google are also continously fined billions by the EU over anti competitve and anti trust practices and, so they don't get particularly preferential treatment.

The issue here is that Apple only allows devs to let users sign up for their service through Apple. Apple also demands 30% of the subscription fee when doing this. They don't allow a developer to have a button in the app that allows to sign up through their website, or to mention that you can sign up through a website.

So the devs only have two options aside from not having an iOS app: Eat the cost and lose 30% of income to Apple, for who it's basically free money. Or charge the extra cost over the normal price to the user.

The EU has rules against this and to do business there you need to comply with those rules. Multi billion companies basically ignore those rules until they get fined, which in most cases is just considered cost of operation. After which they may or may not continue the practice if the fine is lower than what they'd lose by stopping.

I believe there's even a description of a kind medicine that a woman gets administered after a rape. According to how it's described it's kind of vile and not without risk, but it's old school birth control.

I think it's more of a "willing to put in a consumer product" issue than that they're unsolved issues. Other brands don't have the automatic sales that a product with an Apple logo has at whatever price, even for a "Pro" product that can be more expensive. Meta just can't sell a $3500 headset no matter how good were to be.

Well, it's a gadget to inspect things... You could say it's an Inspector Gadget.

Interesting. So instead of spinach a la creme it's kale a la creme. I figure it works better with frozen kale than fresh, as it will have a finer structure.

The Dutch do one thing very well and that's winter food. Probably similar in Danmark, as fellow Northsea coast dwellers.

Here in the Netherlands it's a traditional winter food, but it's eaten as a "stamppot" (potato mash, one of the many we have) with brown gravy and smoked sausage. We practically never eat it as a salad.

It depends on what the alcohol is in what it tastes like. Beer is on the bitter side, wine is tangy or sweet, liqueur is sugar with alcohol, and the distilled drinks (whisky, gin, wodka, etc.) can taste different depending on the casks, the water and wether or not they put spices in, what's being fermented (barley, corn, potato) and for how long.

In some drinks you barely notice the alcohol and for others it's like you're drinking paint thinner.
