I've never understood why any service should need my card details if I'm signing up for a free trial. I now don't sign up to free trials that require payment details up front because, often, there isn't any warning before the trial period ends and a large charge can then get taken.
If I like your service and it's useful to me after the free trial ends I'll sign up and add my payment details.
I'm probably just cynical before my time but I see it as preying on people who are forgetful, to take their money.
In answer to your question though. I'd send a reminder it's polite.
I also cycle my commute. When I used to cycle to the old office this was 14 mile commute on a variety of surfaces. When I initially rode on the road I would gutter crawl; cars would pass real close.
Then I read a few tips on cycling safer and realised that my gutter crawling was actually very dangerous as cars will try to squeeze past to overtake. I don't know how confident you are but for me, riding a third into the lane at all times has improved my safety as cars will now only overtake if they have a ton of room and they'll always go way over into the other lane to do it. I will also take the full lane if I feel I need to. I essentially just needed to be more confident. YMMV
At first I thought it was a site encouraging people to buy up foreclosed homes on the cheap. I don't think it was just you confused by the slightly misleading domain name.
However if there is a logical connection between content and domain, I'd also like to know it.
It's almost like you didn't read the words the parent wrote, he never advocated sailing on over and starting tours...
These people want to be left alone and should be left alone. They've survived for 65000 years on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. I'd say the rest of the "developed" world has something to learn from the way these people sustain themselves without, looking from the outside in, destroying a beautiful tropical island.
I am currently reading this due to another post about this same guy a couple of weeks back. I would highly recommend it, though it is truly upsetting, I have to keep reminding myself that what this man went through was/is real.
OP link does seem to gloss over some of the finer details explained in the book.
First off, this made me laugh, I wish more of my friends would do just this
"instead of taking pictures of pancakes and uploading them to instagram, I just fucking eat them."
Secondly I have a very strange and irrational relationship with smartphones and I've never really been able to explain it. I always have a phone that does far to much, much more than I will ever actually use it for. I know this but still end up with a phone that costs £100s when really I could manage just a well with a basic dumb phone.
I guess this proves the power of advertising and marketing.
"Refuse to patronize businesses that don't work to your schedule."
I don't think this is a valid point. When you arrange an appointment, meeting or lunch with another party/parties/business for a specific time and duration then surely that's no longer "your schedule" but rather "our schedule" and it is the responsibility of both parties to honor that schedule, it's just polite.
I may be reading your comment wrong but I find the tone to be a little uncalled for, sneering almost. Do you really think a person wanting people around him to be timely means they have a "superior sense or right and wrong"?
If I could up vote this all day I would, you put into words something that I've tried to express to many people over the years, but felt I never quite managed to make the point.
Yes but the situation here isn't a handing over is it really? This isn't/won't be an extradition.
If the US were to arrest him on arrival when they have pretty much inferred he has nothing to fear, that would be something else. I would hope regardless of ethnic origin that the UK government would do everything in its power to have the citizen released.
I'm not really clued up on the Northern Ireland conflicts, I do however find the idea of locking people up without trial and keeping them detained for long periods of time, barbaric, regardless of what they are accused of.
