<p>Yes there are Columbo http error messages!<p>The domain was:
www.columbo-http-errors.net<p>But this was back in the 90s.<p>It was very rare and the site used robots.txt to prevent it from ending up in search engines, that is why you can’t find it anymore.<p>But, the author has stated on a Youtube video, that if you transfer 0.1 bitcoin to address 1494828261feab2421, they will send you a secret link.<p>I sent them bitcoin and got a direct url to the new location.  However, as part of the license I can’t share it to you here.</p>

<p>Example ban in Finland:
<a href="https://www.uber.com/fi-/blog/uberpop-tauolle/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uber.com/fi-/blog/uberpop-tauolle/</a><p>After few years of operation, government realised it was serious and pressured Uber to stop taxi operations « Uber pop », until disruption in legislation got through.<p>I used Uber from first year it was here. As the service got popular with young adults and the people took notice and public debate began, the police was instructed to fine Ubers. Then the drivers asked us passengers to sit up front and pretend we were friends. (Not sure if the app had instructions related to this or not.) Once the legislation change was clear, they closed operation officially for the brief period, as stated in the article.<p>I just thought it was exciting at the time..</p>

<p>Firstly: restaurants need to be divided into categories and ranked within the category.<p>5 star McDonald’s is worse food than 1 star fine dining. (Regardless of number of visitors.)<p>In the fast food burger category that Mickey D might be the beating a 3 star Burger King hands down in cleanliness, friendly customer service and timely orders.<p>Secondly: You need to filter out the average Joe’s.<p>Especially with regards to ethnic food, they try an amazing Pho and be like ”meh, too bland - the mexican one was better”. They’re two different kitchens! You can’t compare them.</p>
