wheat North America here, we put sugar on our wheat, rice, and corn here, so no reason it couldn't be on pasta.

If you wanted to be a fucking heretic

Finland here. Havent had one in 10 years or so?

But I do agressively forbid sharing my contact info through governmental blocks on sharing them/forbiding the sharing when I start using new services. Also I'm not in business as employer or as a freelancer.

lord_ryvan , vor 25 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

Netherlands, haven't had one in years, would say perhaps one in about 8 years?

I do make sure to share my contact details only with people I want to share them with

My 20-year-old Microsoft e-mail address though? That gets spam on a daily basis since the Twitter breach

Very rare.
I always reject any marketing spam when signing.

Living in the Netherlands: none as far as I can remember.

From Spain, I get a lot all the time

I know OP didn't ask, but as someone in the US I get at least four calls per day on weekdays. Sometimes ten. Weekends are a little better. But I do have two numbers, the second number is also forwarded to my cell phone. So it's probably marginally higher because of that.

WTF how do you live like that, I'd get a new number

EarMaster , vor 25 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

I went to the USA for three weeks 8 years ago. I had a US prepaid phone with a number never published anywhere except my close family. I got three SPAM calls within these three weeks. Being back in Germany with my 20+ years old number I have received one call since.

SRo , vor 24 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

1 or 2 in 40+ years

Muscle_Meteor , vor 24 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

Haha i moved from Canada to Germany. In Canada i would get at least 3 a week, in Germany I don't think i've gotten one yet in the two years i've been here

FooBarrington , vor 24 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

Living in Germany, I never got any - until I had to register with my phone number at an American company (for work). Now I get 3-4 spam calls/messages per week.

I like this new feature very much - the lid no longer has to be held in the other hand or such but simply stays where it is needed.

People who are not able to perform most simple tasks like turning the lid a little sideways should be exempted from elections.

frosch , vor 24 Tagen

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.

However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.

I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.

So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

I will be going to the store later to buy kefir and relive your experience so I can better judge its validity

SeekPie , vor 23 Tagen

How'd it go?

OrgunDonor , vor 23 Tagen

It's been 8 hours. Either they ded. Or are too ashamed and embarrassed after getting covered in their drink.

volvoxvsmarla , vor 17 Tagen

I'm just too ashamed to admit that I went to the store to buy kefir like 5 times and each time bought half of the supermarket's inventory but not kefir.

I finally did though. Cannot confirm the dripping, see comment above.

OrgunDonor , vor 17 Tagen

Thanks for the update, glad you are not ded!

volvoxvsmarla , vor 17 Tagen

Me too!

volvoxvsmarla , vor 17 Tagen

So, it took me embarrassingly many shopping trips to remember to buy kefir. But I finally did. For reference, I chose Andechser Bio Kefir. But to be honest I didn't find the lid dripping. I shook before I opened and it was still fine. Repeated that a couple of times. Decided to leave some for the next day, maybe the consistency would change after opening. Still fine. Then I decided to let it warm to room temperature and still no dripping.

So unfortunately I cannot reproduce the scientific findings of @frosch.

qevlarr , vor 24 Tagen in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

Netherlands, I'm getting them off and on. I get scam SMS, WhatsAppor phone calls. Maybe 20-30 a year, but they aren't spread evenly. There are times I seem to be getting them all the time

It sucks because I know where they get my number. My elderly dad gets hacked and scammed constantly on Facebook. So if he has my number in his contact, I have to suffer as well. There should be some technical protection against that
