Mine however aren't - what, for the love of god is in that cup? Looks like strawberry milk?
I think you may need to calibrate your screen if looks like strawberry milk! Definitely tea (chai?).

Milky wishwash in a mug if you ask me.I think you may need to calibrate your screen if looks like strawberry milk! Definitely tea (chai?).
Typing I find it nicer. It's a membrane based keyboard but the key travel is much like the Surface Book and Apple Pro keyboards. Really nice. I like the silent keys and it's easier to maintain as well.
Gaming wise I'm seeing no difference. Kind of expected though as Logitech's RF system has always been excellent for gaming in their higher end devices.
Battery life is the main thing here. I bought this keyboard ages ago, still on the same batteries, and the battery capacity still shows as 'Full' which is quite remarkable considering I bought it on September 15th.
Agreed here. The only downside I can think of is because the keycaps are made of that typical cheapy material, all my most used keys are already shiny after only 5 months or so. Ah well.
Still a great keyboard.
Windshield for my bike.
That's because we use chip and pin in Europe whereas they use swipe and pin, which isn't supported by our cards so they have to do ours ye olde style.I also dislike the way you pay by card in the States, they take your card away to swipe then bring it back for you to sign. I swear that's why I had card fraud there last time I went. It is a credit card so its not my money but still bloody annoying.
It can work out cheaper withdrawing from a cash machine than using a currency exchange place.

What confuses me about using a card in the USA is that the process varies depending which shop you're in. I was in New York last month and some places used chip and pin, some used contactless, some used swipe and pin and some used swipe and sign.
Someone tried to tell me that it was entirely dependant on the card I'm using but I was using the same card at every place.

Which is all well and good until you go somewhere and you card decides it is not going to work for whatever reason, be it technical compatibility or banking **** up.
Personally I take a reasonable amount of cash with me and have a card with me too but the cash is enough if the card doesn't work for some reason
They haven’t even got tap in payment on the NY subway yet. What a faff!US card readers are massively behind the UK & Europe - they've been swipe and signing for ages and have struggled to adopt chip and pin let alone contactless. Support is usually down to the badly integrated acquirer back end

I can't be bothered to get yet another card, when I can just get money at a Tesco or something
That's pretty rare, especially in developed countries. Having banking glitches etc where transactions can't be processed can cause some minor damage to the economy, so banks are pretty swift to resolve those problems.
What's your contingency plan in the UK if your card decides "it's not going to work for whatever reason"? Do you keep a stash of cash at home?
We were buggered in Luxor and Gran Canaria because of cards, always get some cash now just in case.
We were lucky that the hotel in Luxor put everything on a tab until we sorted cash out 4 days later.
What exactly was the problem with ATM withdrawals? Never had an issue with cards in Egypt or Spain.
