In all EU countries I drove trough, the pump doesn't auto-start when you unhook the nozzle from the pump. I think the cashier has to manually allow it to start, from their control system/computer.

So I suspect they glance at clients through the shop's window/cameras, and they don't start the pump if you look shady (hooded, no plates on vehicle) and they suspect you may run it off.

For example if you ride a motorbike, the cashier sometimes doesn't start the pump until you remove your helmet / uncover your face (allowing cameras to see your face).

And yes, after filling-up you then need to go pay at the desk. There can be a waiting line if there are more pumps than open cashdesks.

You could easily tank then gun it. But there are cameras everywhere. They have your face & plates.

there a pumps with no human on site at all.

For these we need to swipe a payment method before the pump starts. It locks a sum on your card, say 200EUR, and when you hook the nozzle back it adjusts the payment transaction to only the amount consumed and debits you.

Thanks for the responses.

TIL: Americans pay first, then fill. Now I can understand how you could easily get distracted once it is in and locked.

To clarify : this is absolutely impossible to accidentally happen in the EU, because the payment transaction isn't completed until the nozzle is placed back onto its support (that's when the pump shuts off).

We also have trigger-locks on EU pumps.

I saw yet another online post of someone driving off, ripping the whole station off the ground, starting a fire...

We also have trigger-locks on EU pumps.

In the EU the nozzle handle also has a lock-in mechanism. But it looks like the main difference is that in the EU we can't pay until the nozzle is placed back on the support. That's what stops the pumping. Until then you're still paying.

Yeah, same here (most of Europe).

But I think Americans pay first then fill.

I self-host a SearXNG instance and it works really well.

Adguard DNS does that for free : https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

Yes, SearXNG is a good self-hosted replacement.

Video games, because I don't have time to play during the day.

Final Fantasy VIII card game ♥️

The same as any other piece of hardware+software:

• New features
• Vulnerability patching
• Bug fixes

Escape From Tarkov.

I love the game mechanics. But I suck so bad, I'll never get the last quests.

Does N64 look count? Corn Kidz 64

Starfield CPU requirement is "Intel Core i7-6800K or newer". I ran the game at nearly constant 60FPS on an (unsupported) i7-4790K.

Sometimes the requirements are bullshit.

I also tend to prefer games that are short.

Hello. First of all, thanks for your generosity.

I would appreciate Barotrauma. I love indie survival games and this one has been on my radar for a while.

Happy holidays 🥰
