From what I’ve heard this is largely due to bad weather due to climate change, as I understand it, we should not expect coffee prices to ever go back to where they were.
For the past 4-5 years it seems prices have only gone up here. It’s more than triple now of what it used to be before Covid, and that’s only 5 years!
But I’m not an expert, this is just what I’ve been seeing as a heavy coffee drinker in the supermarket, and what I’ve gathered from short news tid-bits.
Digg was absolutely amazing when it was new, but it didn’t take long to turn to shit for some reason, and reddit was way better during the old reddit/Digg war.
Fun thing is that reddit now does many of the same things Digg did before Digg turned completely away from its original concept.
I must admit my hopes for Digg becoming relevant for me again is near zero, like VERY near zero.
It’s weird, but Trump might do irreversible damage to the US MIC.
If that hasn’t happened already, the customers must be extremely dense.
AFAIK EU is absolutely planning independence from USA, meaning our weapons cannot be dependent on USA either.
I’ve been saying this for 20 years. Proprietary software creates a dangerous dependency that takes away freedom and increases cost.
Now we see the ultimate downside to sacrificing freedom for convenience.
This is completely unacceptable. These Jets were given by European NATO countries to defend Europe.
This is a decidedly hostile act by USA against Europe!
OOps, don’t tell the others, it’s our little secret right?
So he was alone in the house for a week, while suffering Alzheimer?!
That’s absolutely horrible.
Cash is still king for me for whatever reason.
Yes, I think that’s just a matter of time, what government can refuse the ability to follow all money transactions?
Of course we have privacy regulation, and especially regarding banks for some reason. But it only takes a court order to get it anyway.
It will soon be very difficult to have illegal money, without a digital footprint.
Cash is still king for me for whatever reason.
Cash is just inconvenient IMO, before mobile pay we used it privately with friends and trading 2nd hand. But it’s been years since I’ve used cash at all, although I still carry around the equivalent of $100. Just in case of being stranded somewhere, and there are disruptions of digital payments.
OK then per the user isomorph post I responded to, we have better options to minimize digital footprint than such countries.
Eh OK so Singapore have rules that are different. But as I clearly linked, that is not the “normal” definition.
We don’t even receive much digital mail either.
Payments are automated, and includes invoice and receipt. Removing all mails that have to do with payments.
Most is SMS and e-mail, because it’s good enough for most things.
But where security is needed, like signing a bank loan, we have the system for that too.
you can certainly have systems where cash is legal tender but some businesses will not accept it.
Not by normal laws, legal tender means you have to accept it. It’s not just that it’s not illegal to use. Credit cards for instance are NOT legal tender, meaning a business does not have to accept them, but you can use them almost everywhere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_tender
Legal tender is a form of money that courts of law are required to recognize as satisfactory payment
cash is becoming rare.
That is absolutely true, but as I mention it’s still legal tender, and you can use it everywhere, with very few exceptions.
You should not be much inconvenienced if you want to use cash, as OP stated for privacy reasons. And you can also still use and receive snail mail.
You can use cash for everything below $3000, this limit is to prevent things corruption and whitewashing.
Cash is legal tender, and can’t be refused as payment.
It’s true we are very digitized in everything like communications with public systems like Tax etc. and also businesses like banks.
Almost everything is done digitally. An we have a secure system for electronic mail, which is also used for signing papers.
It is a requirement to have these systems, But there are exceptions, if you for some reason can’t use the digital services, you can be exempted.
PS: It will still be possible to send letters after “Post Nord” stops the service. There are other companies that still have this service.
But Post Nord is the old Monopoly company that was traditionally used for it exclusively.
PPS: Personally I’d really like to get rid of the physical mailbox, I very rarely check it for mail, because in the 6 years we’ve been living here, I think We’ve gotten about 5 letters, 2 of which were for the previous owner!!
This is so blatantly false, IDK how any Dane could believe this???
We do absolutely have cash, and it’s legal tender, which means cash can’t be refused as payment.
Except we also have an anti corruption law, which states we can’t make cash payments above $3000.
So that’s kind of weird?
We have a national system called danlort, which is used by most people.
We also have a 100% danish phone payment system called MobilePay that is almost universally accepted,
So Visa is only necessary for international trade.
And we absolutely still have cash, which is legal tender, meaning cash can’t be refused as payment.
Weird, am I blind or is there no SteamOS?
I know it’s based on Arch, but it is NOT Arch.
USA on course to become by far the most hated country in the world.

Here (Denmark) a pack of coffee 500g could be had for as low as $3 before Covid, now it’s very rare to see below $7. But most brands have decreased the size of their packs to hide it.
Also there are many that use capsules and other ways to make coffee, where the price isn’t as much dependent on the actual coffee, but more the markup of the brand.
