I'm in the UK and youtube blocked it for me too. I used windscribe a free VPN to pretend I was in the US and it showed fine.

Just change your number to something like 07777777777. That will work for the UK.

I work for a UK bank, and we automatically provide your replacement card details to all subscriptions, for example Netflix, Spotify, adobe, amazon prime, gym and many many others etc. The reason for that is that if you lost your card or it expired, you would otherwise have to spend ages updating the card numbers with all your providers. We call the subscriptions 'recurring visa' and if you ask your bank to place a recurring visa block, it's quick and easy and we won't let your named merchant take further funds. No need for a new card. However, if you are in a contract and you deny the company access to your bank card, they may demand that you pay for the rest of the contract still. They won't be able to get the money from the bank tho.

I don't think it's possible to quit smoking twice. The first time, there was just a longer gap between cigarettes.

if you are paying for any streaming service that has advert breaks, you are the reason there are commercials. imagine if subscribers walked away when they were introduced!

check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there's a blockage somewhere.

it was only 15cm long. that's at best a Master Dagger, not a master sword! still too long to be legal to carry out in public though.

there's no victory here - in the article it states that at least one still law requirse floppy disks must continue to be used.
