I dunno what happened to it, but someone made a QCS thread about it that Lowtax closed with a pretty funny post.

Oh because of how planes go faster if they take off from a treadmill? I'm surprised more airports haven't implemented that.

Are J-1 visas the reason I see so many Israeli people working those little kiosks at the mall?

It's nice because I can just be like "no thanks" in Hebrew and they don't try to press the sale.

Actually that one is kinda iffy, from the fact that most of those guys were (still are?) undocumented, over being paid entirely in comissions, to the unconscionably aggressive sales tactics they're told to use. Legal action has been taken against them several times:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/dead-sea-product-hawkers-skirt-law-decency/
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/1.751377

Cracked (yeah, yeah, I know) did an interview with a guy who used to work at those kiosks and it's pretty interesting:

You combined two separate incidents, doxxing the wrong dog was FAU (and I guess Tiny Brontosaurus too in a separate incident), while someone excitedly posted that they had ZDR’s personal information and dumped a bunch of info on a certain Kirk Johnson.

I think they finally decided to do the sensible thing that everybody else was telling them to do from the beginning and just directly donate to anyone in need of help.
