Thanks. I had no idea. I haven’t been to those countries in about 30 yrs. I don’t remember seeing anything like that in more recent trips to France and Spain. I assume you’re still paying for water in restaurants in those places, right? ---

France has almost 0 public restrooms or drinking fountains. Nice to see Italy is a lot better. ---

Oh man I love that burn. It’s so true too. It recently hit me how little Americans walk in a single day compared to people in Europe. I was honestly getting cooped up when I last visited due to the lack of physical activity and I’m not some outdoorsy person either. > [@CornCobb](#): > > Sparkling water is the worst. Come at me. So true. I have no idea how that shit got popular here. ---

There are different versions of sparkling water. Here we usually have medium which tastes like ass and fizzy which I love. ---

A little sparkling water here or there is a nice refresher and a change of pace. It’s good with an espresso. ---

> [@Melkerson](#): > > Thanks. I had no idea. I haven’t been to those countries in about 30 yrs. According to that Tripadvisor story the nasoni have been around since the late 19th century. I think it’s possible it wasn’t something people talked about to tourists, as it is a bit of adjustment to fill your bottle from a seemingly-random pipe emerging from the street. ---

I have heard about this before actually. First on this podcast which Lucas talks about it. Then he explains someone put a fake person on the card, so they cancelled his card. He said fuck that and decided to not pay the card… > [00:13:18] Lucas: Okay.I hate paying interest, absolutely hate paying interest. So all my credit cards, I leverage them to make money so I would buy houses with them, rental properties with credit cards. > > [00:13:36] Ramit: Huh? Okay, sorry. Go on. > > [00:13:38] Lucas: Okay. So I would buy houses with them. I would do marketing sales. > > [00:13:41] I would also take trips as well on them, but I’d always, almost always get them off. _There was a point in time where I used to make money off of my credit cards by having people on the credit cards as an authorized user, and I was literally getting **$50 a month from each person** that I added on my credit card._ > > [00:13:59] The limit was 60,000 on one card, 20,000 on another. And my balance was always low. It was less than a 1,000. So I would literally make money off of my credit cards. They were giving me cashflow. Something happened where one of the people that I put on was a fake person. They had fake social security and IDs and all that. So the card cancelled me. > > [00:14:21] And I was like, I’m not paying the card if you just cancelled me. Why am I going to pay the balance if you cancel me and tell me I can’t use the card anymore? Okay, let it go to collection. So I let all of that go to collection, all of it go to charge off, and I said, I’m just going to start over. And around that time is when Trin and I met and we started getting into our relationship and get it better, I had to sell all of my rental properties because I had mismanaged them. > **[Episode 128. “We have $285k in debt.

Yeah I was diagnosed with fatty liver and had to simultaneously give up alcohol and sugar while losing weight. Mineral water was the right thing and once I got used to it I kept the habit. I usually get the Kirkland brand or Topo Chico on my Costco runs. I don’t drink fizzy water in place of water, I drink it in place of soda and beer ---

Ordering a bottle of water in Bangkok is standard. That it would cost more than my entire entree was unexpected. [Previous page](https://unstuckpolitics.com/t/2024-lc-thread/10635.md?page=166) [Next page](https://unstuckpolitics.com/t/2024-lc-thread/10635.md?page=168)
