It's a choice of the card issuer, not the merchant. The chips list supported authentication methods in the order in which they are preferred.
Most credit cards issued by American banks prefer signature authentication. Some, but not all, support pin as a secondary for automated ticket machines and gas pumps and such.

Individual cars are the most inefficient way to travel, as they clog up roads, and they're the worst for the environment
Stupid murrifat
>>51229398
enjoy waiting for the bus, or waiting for the train, or waiting for a taxi.
meanwhile, if i'd like to go anywhere. I simply get into my car and drive there.
Oh and if I suddenly decide I want to travel somewhere, or stop at a store, or a restaurant, or some neat festival on the way. I dont have to wait until a stop, get off the bus, wait for a new one and find a route to get me where ever, and then walk. All while facing the elements of the environment.
Its called personal convenience, privacy and independence.
Half of this comment was meant to be snarky, but the rest of it is true. Those are American values. even if it doesn't seem like it
You think America is bad? Japan is worse. And the reason is because virtually all businesses in Japan are small- and medium-sized businesses which don't want to adopt new technology.

Those are the moments you take your car.
Commuting daily, you do not.
As a Swede, I prefer the train for a number of reasons:
>it is a lot faster than going by car - not only is the train going faster than the speed limits of the highway, but it is also pretty much going the euclidean distance
>it is quiet, has an onboard bistro (restaurant carriage), free Internet, electrical outlets and tables so I can work on my laptop
>risk of having an accident is reduced by a gorillion percent (Sweden has less daylight than the US, every road is sided by woods and got more moose crammed into it than there are in all of the US)
There are also only white people on any inter-city trains, so there is that.
>>51229575
>because small businesses, not multinationals, rule the country.
this is a good thing.
>>51229642
I will give it that, trains people take to work are usually really nice. Vancouver has the Pacific express and its lovely.
The US is much larger than Sweden. And a lot more spread out(minus metropolitan areas)
Right now I live in San Antonio, TX. I just traveled to Houston, TX. I drove on 1 interstate the entire trip. spent maybe $15 in gas for a 3 hour trip in new GT Mustang.
Then when I get here, I still need to get around, to my hotel, to work, to visit clients and friends, and go eat.
Really its about convenience. It may be short-sighted, but it really is nice. I do admire public transit, but I wouldn't give up blasting down country roads in a cheap V8 for it.
I remember having to take the skytrain during my vacation..I got sick of waiting in a cramped tube with smelly hipsters pretty fast. It was really cool at first though.

Americans are too busy doing other things to get better tech and raise their living standards. Other things such as keeping gays from marrying, keeping women from getting contraceptives, giving unborn cells more attention than countless homeless veterans (who make up 50% of their homeless population), making sure that every man, woman, and child is walking around with a handgun (or two) on their hip, and letting the wealthy run roughshod over everyone and everything.

However, when a load is applied from one 120 volt conductor to the other, without using the neutral, the voltage being used is the sum of both 120 volt conductors (240 volts). This is the case for many water heaters, air conditioners, electric furnaces, clothes dryers, and so forth.
So equipment that is connected to strictly 240 volts is connected with only a two wire cable plus a safety ground wire. (For example 240 volt base board heaters use this.) The only time a cable with three wires plus safety ground is used is if 120/240 volts is needed in the equipment. (For example kitchen ranges or washing machines which have time clocks or programmers that require only a 120 volt feed.)
For systems outside the US, receptacles are 240 volts. Lower voltages tend to be safer, which is why in the US, you are receiving 240 volts at the home box and 120 at receptacles, instead of the thousands of volts generated by the power plant.
Power is transmitted over High Voltage cables - usually above 10K Volts. The power is then stepped down before it reaches consumers. Outlet power in the US is 120 volts, increased from 110 volts sometime around 1950.
The US system theoretically could be made as good or better than the European system with no infrastructure change, except appliances and consumer structures themselves (collectively costing home owners billions). US houses get 240 volts at the panel. If wall outlets all were fed with 240V you'd have the lower current and higher power advantage of the European system and it would be safer too, since each "hot" would still be only 120V from ground (not 240V) which keeps the reduced shock hazard advantage. Of course it is still possible to touch the two hots.

Germanfag here, can confirm the shitty internet. It's not exactly bad, but it's slow and outdated. DSL is still the standard in most of the country and cable is just being rolled out in big cities.
It doesn't have anything to do with the government though. The government doesn't give half a shit about the internet.
The thing is that our infrastructure is owned by the telekom (essentially like Bell in the U.S., but got privatised) and leased out to ISPs. Since the telekom already owns the infrastructure and it's unfeasible for third party providers to build their own, nobody really bothers modernising anything.

Depends what part of the US you visit. Civilization is concentrated around major large cities, with most of the rest of the country either suburban or totally rural. And rural is completely fucking shit unless you get lucky and there's decent internet speed. With good internet and Amazon Prime, you can make any part of the country relatively livable. I recently had to move to Florida from Rhode Island and man, some shit just sucks. Septic tanks are bullshit. I could probably get connected to the main sewer line, but only if I paid to have a huge stretch of road ripped up and new pipe laid. Meanwhile I get my water from a groundwater pump. At first I was pissed off because the pressure isn't good enough (can't even drive one of those nice showerheads with the massage setting), but when I realized there's no fluoride in ground water and that the rainfall is so ludicrously high here that we couldn't run out if we tried, I changed my mind. Will probably just buy a stronger pump eventually. The phone signal here is nearly non-existent. I've been forced to use Hangouts Dialer's free wifi calling for everything for the past 2 months; I'm quitting my fucking contract completely once it expires, can't believe I have to pay for service I can't use.
The only good thing is I haven't seen any small mammals around, just TONS of little lizards. I think reptiles are cute, and they eat bugs (which I hate) so that helps. Hell I even saw a big ass turtle crawling across my yard one day.

Let's just put this into perspective. Windows has been in use since the 80s. In all that time there hasn't been ONE serious graphics-based contender except Mac's OS, which began as an offshoot OF Microsoft. You mean to seriously tell me that in 30 fucking years, NOBODY has every come up with a GUI alternative for Windows, even though the OS has been a giant pile of shit for about a decade now? With all the people "going to college" and "working hard" and all the millennials working in the electronics and computer industry, NOT ONE of them has ever come up with something better than shitty old Windows. This is why you're delusional. The truth is, the corrupt capitalist/republic system we have crystalizes and then fossilizes power so no movement is really available for the overwhelming majority of people.
>I'm conservative because I don't believe in hand-outs for lazy cunts?

Is this the latest meme? I see it everywhere now.
I haven't travelled abroad much, and every time I read stuff like this makes me want to stay the fuck home.
In my city we have a public transport system that costs me around 20 eurobux a month, it's operating almost 24/7 and I never have to wait for a tram/bus/train/metro for more than five minutes. I also own a car but most of the time it's far easier to take the public alternative. Bicycle is also an awesome choice.
My mobile plan has unlimited everything (4G 50Mbps) and is also around 20 eurobux a month. My employer pays for that though.
If my face gets wrecked or some other bad shit happens, I pay next to nothing for the healthcare. Spent a couple of nights in ICU few years ago, was pumped full of meds and left home with an arsenal of antibiotics, and they sent me a bill for 50 eurobux or so. My employer paid that bill, as is required by the law.
Right now I'm also going to a public university (we have only this kind), which is in the top 100 of the world. I would actually get paid around 500 eurobux a month for going there if I wanted to, but I choose to work instead. Dat experience is going to be a huge payoff once I get my master's.
The worst animals we have around here are mosquitoes, and they exist only for a couple of months during the summer. Our clean water reserves are abundant (water costs next to nothing here), we almost have enough forests for each person in the country, childcare doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and our kids go to school for free (where they feed them, also for free).
I pay 19.5% in taxes, I make around 45k a year.
>>51231493
actually those are self reported and as expected dumb niggers say dumb nigger things, in all studies on penis size there has never been found any correlation between penis size and race/height/weight of a man, none whatsoever.

Europeans tend to have a higher standard of living than Americans, better healthcare, better education, frankly, better damn near everything. American superiority is nothing but a delusion shared by brainwashed Amerishits. It consists of only two things: military power, which is exlusively used toward evil ends and is literally destroying the country and wealth, which is densely concentrated in the few billionaires the country has. Meanwhile, more people are on welfare than are employed, the infrastructure is collapsing, and America has the highest cost of healthcare per capita of any nation on the planet -but nowhere NEAR the best healthcare.

"Graphics based contender"?

Uhh, lel, no.
With these two arguments you may as well say that x86 is a superior architecture despite many superior ones existing. The reason x86 is the dominant one to this day is much the same reason Windows is. x86 was required for IBM compatibles, and Windows/MS-DOS was distributed with IBM compatibles. IBM compatibles basically had a monopoly because IBM did.
>NOBODY has every come up with a GUI alternative for Windows, even though the OS has been a giant pile of shit for about a decade now?
They have, you fucking retard. They're just not particularly popular.
>This is why you're delusional. The truth is, the corrupt capitalist/republic system we have crystalizes and then fossilizes power so no movement is really available for the overwhelming majority of people.
That's untrue. Had it not been for the monopoly situation existing in the first place, we would not have this situation today. It has nothing to do with capitalism at all.

m88, the idea of the originated from Douglas Engelbart, who inspired people from Xerox park (Alan Kay and the lots) to build something that we today know as the "gui".
In like 1981 or something, our bestie Steven Job visited Xerox, got "inspired" and stole their ideas to build into their first computer, the Apple 1.
Our evil semon demon Bill Gate$$$ had a deal with Apple to build some software for them, and they signed not to steal their gui stuff for up until something like 1984 or something.
Only steven job was an idiot and the first apple computer came out at 1985, instead of his plan of 1983. Billy Gate$$$ then stole the idea from Steven and his friends.

did you read that psychology study basically confirming what psychologists thought for a long time? that all females are either bisexual or homosexual? and that female heterosexuality is virtually a myth?
They measured arousal in males and females when they were subjected to porn of two kinds, heterosexual and homosexual, and then they compared the findings. It turns out that all females, no matter how they identify, no matter if they identify as heterosexual, all of them exhibit the same arousal when shown female sexuality. Basically saying that a woman can't ever just like men, even those who say they do are lying to themselves and/or to other people because of social pressure/religious indoctrination/tradition or being indoctrinated by media into thinking their purpose is to be sex objects for men. But they all exhibit the same patterns of arousal.
Similarly ( and this is why I'm talking to you about it) they found out that men can either be heterosexuals or homosexuals, there is nothing in between, and homosexuality is a lot less common in males than in females (not talking about bisexual females here but completely homosexual ones), what they found is that those males who identify as bisexual exhibit the same patterns of arousal as those men who identify as homosexuals whether they are watching male sexuality or female sexuality. Meaning that bisexual males are attracted to women just as much as gays are, ie not at all. Basically that they are pretending/lying to themselves mostly. Bisexuality doesn't appear to exist in male population and there are good theories about why this is given the social roles of early human males and females, and why would it make a lot of sense for females to be like that.
What I'm trying to say is that you can't be both, you're either straight or a very closeted homosexual, I think it's in your interest to be honest with yourself about that.

I searched "if I like trannys does that mean I'm gay"
I'll spare you the details, but men are attracted to the female features (Jane Marie for example). They are also attracted to penises because it reminds them of their own penis...theories go on and on
I also bought this book. They examine internet searches to see what people are really interested but might be considered taboo. Men equally google big cock and vagina.
I believe sexuality is on a spectrum. I'll take a D in the A for a tranny all day long, but not from some harry ass man

that's not really a psychological study, that's just one guy giving a ted x talk while about a lie he came up with when his wife caught him watching shemale porn.
Those men who search "big cock" are closeted homosexuals, they can't be bisexuals because they don't exist in male population.
And who the fuck searches for just "vagina" like wat... I don't think any men in history of the internet ever search for porn like that, that is understood that women will have a vagina, then you just need to search for whatever you want to watch those women do but they'll always have a vagina you don't have to just search google for "vagina", where searching for "big cock" is clearly not the same, the same would be searching for "penis". When you search for "big cock" you are searching for men with large penises, it is understood they'll have a penis and now you'll searching for your particular fetish but your fetish is involving men.
>I believe sexuality is on a spectrum.
Why do you believe that? Based on what? Based on that made up scale? You know that isn't based on ANY research or studies or experiments? The guy just woke up one day and said that sexuality is on a spectrum. And besides this newest study basically proves that it isn't. For men it's either black and white, but never gray, where for women is always white and gray but never black(black being pure heterosexuality)
Idk what to say man, just accept it and move on. You are most likely a homosexual, it's 2015 no one would probably give a flying shit but you will in 20 years when you wish you accepted yourself as you are sooner. You are the only one judging you.

yeah, they are well delusional, if you were to hook them up to some wires their arousal levels would show you the truth, another possibility is that they are just imagining that they are with a man when they are having sex with women. You can't possibly understand how far a delusional mind is willing to go to keep the delusion afloat... That's what "internalized homophobia" is

> But I think it's more about prostate stim than anything.
How do you people even survive for this long? You do know that "stimulating" prostate doesn't make you feel sexual pleasure right? In any way? What hitting prostate does is forces piss and sperm in the tubes out, it basically makes you wanna piss really really bad like when you are way way drunk and you haven't pissed for hours and you need to go so bad you are in pain. That's what it does. The way trannies make themselves "cum" ( there is no such thing as an "anal orgasm", this is just ejaculation), is that they don't masturbate for a week or two and then edge all day( masturbate but stop themselves from ejaculating in the last moment), now the sperm is in the tubes and if they hit the prostate either with a penis or a dildo or whatever enough times it will make them feel as though they need to piss really bad and the piss will be forced out of them. When the piss goes it will push out the sperm too and so they cum and it's usually or watery and shit because of how much piss there is in it if they want it to be all slimy and shit they need to empty their bladder before they do this so there is as little as possible piss with that sperm they will ejaculate. But this doesn't feel as an orgasm like you have when you jerk off or have sex. In fact it doesn't feel like anything but that relief that you get from pissing when you needed to go really bad. But there is no pleasure in it, you see the sperm going out of your dick but you feel nothing but pain from something in your ass.
What they do and homosexuals too is that they get off on the idea of being dominated and used, the pleasure is imaginary not in any way anatomical like it is for normal people.
