It might be, the whole étage thing has been loanworded to hell by a lot of languages, it might come from that.

This was a building in Budapest, “P” stands for “pince”, as in basement, “FSZT” is “földszint”, literally “ground floor”, “MFSZT” is “magasföldszint”, “high ground floor” meaning mezzanine level, and “1E” is “1. emelet”, “first elevation”, so that was highest.
The quality of the elevator still made me think of taking the stairs though.
Fun fact, Hungarian is the only language I’ve heard of that uses Latin letters and also has multi-glyph letters as long as four glyphs, so “sz” is considered one letter like in Polish I think, but “ddzs” is also one letter.
They might call it “first elevation” for example.
It’s just different words.
I actually found this map for it, it’s apparently divided between the world pretty evenly.
It almost even took off!
And it’s numbered different building to building, sometimes level 1 is nearest to surface, sometimes it’s the deepest one.
And if you think that’s confusing, I’ve ridden this one elevator once, it had four buttons arranged in a square: “P”, “FSZT”, “MFSZT”, “1E”. Guess what order the floors are in.

I did a quick search, it seems it’s similar to imperial and metric in that it’s only the US doing 1st floor as ground floor. It’s for various reasons, but in most European languages the word used for the numbered “floors” either means “horizontal division between floors” or the first “construction over the previous floor”, so it makes sense that the first is the first above the ground.
It’s like the basement, the ground floor is special.
I think it’s the US that’s the outlier, most European languages have it so that the first floor is the first floor above the ground floor.
A lesser standard still applies if it either embeds or redirects to a payment page. Again, shouldn’t mean shit, but still.
Investors are also terminally stupid,
Also, they are mostly bots.
Because the alternative seems to be a Russian intelligence asset.
the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid
Yeah, but the whole PCI DSS thing means that the app must still be secured. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be tied to Google Play, but explain it to them.
IIRC they did coupons exclusively in their app a few years ago where I lived (haven’t checked since), and they hiked the price of everything, so if you don’t install the app, you get a 20% surcharge in effect.
That goes for every single shitty chain store as well.
This nation is founded on stolen land (just like Mexico)
Isn’t pretty much every nation founded on stolen land?
drug and pregnancy tests
What in the world necessitates those?
Yeah but on the ground you can roll slower than 250 kph though.
Same qualification though. You need to be a qualified ATC to clear a taxi, and air law states that the ground rolling stage as soon as the plane is moving under its own power is part of the flight. It goes as far as this is a flight accident and will be treated accordingly.
