it's because most larger concert halls in the USA and the ticket service they use online are owned by the most evil fucking corporation and I am fucking sick of it.

Do you realize AXS is not Ticketmaster/Live Nation?

I'm not defending them but they are different corporations

When you fill DS-160 to apply for a visa you have to fill in your social media handles. Is this for those on ESTA?

It will also be affected to some extent due to parts built in Mexico and Canada

It's not only the final assembly but also all parts.

Nearly half of all vehicles sold in the United States are imported, as well as nearly 60 percent of the parts in vehicles assembled in the United States.

Same for Mexico

Also, for a lot of cities it's cheaper and more convenient to fly overseas via USA than thru Mexico City

Is there even an egg shortage? They stores where I shop usually have their egg fridges as full as usual, only more expensive

I'm Mexican but I work in the US. I've been coming to the US since I was a few months old since I lived closer to the border. I've never been asked for my cellphone or anything personal. They usually asked for the reason to come into the country, evidence of said reason and (before my work visa) my ticket to get out of the country

That said, since a few years ago you have to tell them your social media handles when renewing your visa, and it has a disclaimer that omission can be grounds for denying the visa

In Mexico those would be called crepas. The thick version (American pancakes) are called hot cakes

Strava allows to compare previous sessions and shows if you are faster or slower than your rolling average. It also tracks your intensity levels and can track by month or year

I actually don't like strava for tracking my exercise in real time but I upload it there for analysis. It also has some community features where you can see how your friends are doing

In my previous job I had to travel very often to customer's sites or or other offices

The ones in Germany drank regularly during lunch time. I never felt comfortable to do it since my job was very technical. In one office they even had a fridge full of beers and wines that you could grab freely. I never saw anybody drinking at the office tho
