It is free but they offer a service to sync your files for i believe $5/mo. I’m not sure whether they offer it to make profit or to cover the cost of hosting (?) your files. I saved my notebook in the cloud and use the cloud providers app to sync the files but this isn’t working as smooth as I’d like it to be. I might get a subscription one day, but it’s also not really worth it except it’d support them, I do enjoy using Obsidian.

Can somebody explain why there is dates on this chart? Is that supposed to help in some way?

Universal healthcare is cheaper, but still not really free healthcare.

Yeah I’ve looked at them before and they seem to be more like a machine than my vibrating razor handle. It’s a good suggestion although reading other comments in this thread I’m now thinking of giving shaving with a safety razor a go. People told me it is cheaper and more sustainable than these cartridges, so why not at least try it. If I don’t like it, I will consider getting a OneBlade I guess. Although I believe all of Philips consumer electronics are now from a Chinese company and the only money staying in Europe is for licensing the brands name, so there is that too.

Edit: Consumer electronics division is now indeed owned by a Chinese private equity firm, but ‘Personal Health’ such as razors and electric toothbrushes is not part of that division. Anyone interested can read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versuni.

Also maybe include Ukraine, they’d appreciate it

I’d really like a bot that places alternative URLs in the comments, might be easy I don’t know any coding.

It’s an Invidious instance, basically showing you YouTube’s content without Google’s trackers. There are other instances that let you make an account to save your subscriptions, but they don’t have a nice domain like this. More here: https://invidious.io/

We can do both if that’s ok with you

I’ve been forever using Gilette’s with a battery (they call it Power) because it gives the clean shave of blades but with less friction, aside from how much the blades cost i’m really happy with it. But I want to try some alternatives, does anybody now if there is another brand doing something similar? I’d argue it is quite easy to do, (it is just a vibrator in the handle) but never seen it.

Good catch, there is also https://buy-european.net/en

About 44 percent favor joining the European Union

More than 44 percent are in favor of Iceland joining the European Union, while nearly 36 percent are opposed. This is revealed in the new Gallup National Poll. It also shows that this is a similar proportion to three years ago, when support for accession had been increasing.

A total of 36 percent oppose accession and twenty percent are neither in favor nor opposed. The Gallup poll shows that fifteen years ago 26 percent were in favor of Iceland joining the European Union, 37 percent eleven years ago and 47 percent three years ago.

Residents of the capital area are more in favor of accession than residents of the countryside, and people with a university education are also more in favor of accession than people with less education. If we look at which party people voted for in the last parliamentary elections, those who voted for Viðreisn are more in favor of accession than those who voted for the Samfylkinga.

Those who voted for the Progressive Party are mostly opposed, or 81 percent, while voters for the Centre Party and the Independence Party are also somewhat opposed. 74 percent of Centre Party voters are opposed and 66 percent of Independence Party voters are opposed.

Large majority in favor of Iceland’s membership in NATO

The same survey also asked about Iceland’s membership in NATO. According to the survey, 71 percent of the population is in favor of Iceland’s membership in NATO, while about twelve percent are opposed. This is a similar proportion to what has been measured previously.

People over 50 and under 30 are generally more in favor of Iceland’s membership in NATO than people between 30 and 50, who are in turn more likely than younger and older people to say they are neither in favor nor opposed. Those who would vote for the Left Greens if the Althing were elected today are the least in favor of Iceland’s membership in NATO, followed by those who voted for the Pirate Party and the Socialist Party of Iceland. However, more people who vote for these parties are in favor of Iceland’s membership in NATO than those who vote for these parties and are opposed.

Those who voted for the ruling parties or the Progressive Party are mostly in favor of Iceland’s presence in NATO.

So we had fake news, now we get fake science. What’s next, fake arguments?

I heard a piece on the Dutch news of gay Americans and parents of trans kids already applied for asylum. Will take a while before we’ll hear if they’re actually granted asylum but there are already people trying. They are personally affected though, and felt unsafe enough to leave their country behind so I’m not sure this is valuable information for someone who just dislikes their government.

Also in my life I’ve met a bunch of people who moved here, they didn’t come across as all being from a single economic class but didn’t check their payslips.

I don’t think all or even most of the affluent 30-40 year olds with executive roles in tech, pharmaceuticals or finance voted for Trump. The ones that did vote Trump are quite likely still fond of him.

Thanks, I see i didn’t read it right the first time. Never heard of it before. Will come back here for fresh replies.

Same here

It is also very different with a brain drain in developing countries. But I do think it’s fair to say there is a lot of people who cannot afford to move, and in that way this is more like a wealth drain.

If you’re done with seeing everything burn you could consider moving to a place in the US where less stuff is on fire. Also, the flames might inspire you to do some real good writing, who knows.

What boycott app?
