> the EFTA does limit liabilities within a window of the transaction.

The EFTA offers no protections in a case where the product you purchased is defective or not delivered. It protects you only from liability due to errors made by one end of the financial transaction or the other, and unauthorized transactions like a stolen card or number.

My question was more : Are debit cards in the UK protected like credit cards -- in the US, they aren't.

Ok then, what's the problem? Chargeback, eat the $50 (or whatever the fee is over there), and don't panic.

> why wouldn't they be???

In the US our strongest protections come from a law called the "fair credit billing act" which doesn't apply to debit cards, checking accounts, etc. -- only to credit cards.

Hope this young man has this sorted out, but this is a valuable lesson: Don't buy high ticket items on a debit card unless things are dramatically different in the UK vs the US regarding buyer protections.

Oh shit, that legend died? RIP dude.

Is this the guy who has enough to eat at home, or is that a different Ford?

> I was curious about the words, not the food

Oh hah, sorry. I can't think of anything like that offhand, but another example of the same sort of Japanese approach to food naming is the "yaki" suffix which means cooking but usually means frying when used in the name of the food, giving you yakiniku (fried meat), yakitori (fried chicken), yakisoba (fried soba noodles), etc.

ETA: yakitori is more like grilled chicken than fried, which is called karage, but.. can't win 'em all.

Well onigiri isn't sushi, so it doesn't.

Sure. As the OP discovered, the rice is the important part of "sushi" and everything that uses it is called sushi as far as I know. You just stick a different word on the front to describe the kind of sushi it is, then in informal speech or over time, the suffix gets dropped.

You're in the wrong conversation.

> Raw fish with rice = Nigiri

Doesn't have to be raw fish, can be virtually any topping.

> Rice rolled with seaweed and stuffed with other ingredients (fish and/or vegetables) = Sushi

That's not "sushi", it's maki.

Nigiri and maki are both types of sushi; they're just abbreviations for the full names "nigirizushi" and "makizushi".

Yep. Sushi may or may not have raw fish, as the rice is the defining part. Another thing you may not know is that the nori (dried seaweed) being under the rice in a maki (sushi roll) is an American/western thing. Japanese style maki has the nori on the outside.
