I was having a nice time browsing it - it's a shame that they decided to stick a transphobic "meme" in the women's bathroom.

Did this bank start out as a "telephone bank"? One of the largest German consumer banks still does this because they were the first "direct bank" without locations and typing in digits on the telephone pad was the most secure way of authenticating without telling the "bank teller" your password. So it was actually a good security measure but it is apparently too complicated to update their backend to modern standards.

They do require 2FA, though.

I moved from Spain to the US, and I often find myself trying to explain to people back home just how miserable and even humiliating the pedestrian experience is here.

Here are some other examples of things that I think contribute to the hostile walking experience in the US:

* Cars parked in short driveways often extend all the way across the sidewalk. Even if you can easily step off onto the road to walk around them (not all pedestrians can), it just feels like a slap in the face to have to do that.

* Cars have much higher and stronger headlights, with the high beams often left on, and drivers are generally much less mindful of them. As a pedestrian walking at night on under-lit streets, you are constantly getting blinded.

* Tinted windows (even the mild level of tint that most cars in the US have). The whole experience of being a lone vulnerable pedestrian among a sea of cars is made even worse when you can't see the people in the cars (but you know they can see you).

* Often the only option to get food late at night are fast food places, which become drive-thru only after a certain time. Having to go through the drive-thru on foot is obviously a terrible experience, and they will often refuse to even serve you.

Well, TBH in Europe you usually don't have an option to get food late at night :)

Side-loading may bite back in nasty ways. Tiny but locally required apps may use it to work around legit limitations. Pay-for-parking apps, shop loyalty systems etc. Yay for more spyware and api exploiting.

But if it's my choice to take these risks?

But they’re also stuck with physical sims because of those same laws. I vastly prefer the esim in the US iphone to the tray.

eSIMs are totally available here in Germany! Für example https://www.telekom.de/unterwegs/esim
