Buy European

Avoid Paywall

Hey folks,

I am looking for a good Cola syrup without sweeteners for my soda maker. All Cola syrups in the supermarket I tried contain Acesulfam K or Sucralose. Sometimes they have both: Sugar and sweeteners, but not sugar alone.

I'm not very happy with the taste of sweeteners. Do you know some good european stuff for me?

Thanks!

Edit: Of course I meant artificial sweeteners.

I am looking for a good fitness tracker to start doing cardio in a more measured way.

I was interested in Polar and Oura as EU alternatives (both Finnish companies), but both send data (health data, which is sensitive according to Article 9 of the GDPR) to AWS.

Are you aware of any EU solutions, or at least non-US, Chinese, Russian, or Israeli solutions, that do not send my data to companies in those countries?

I would like to be able to organize something self-hosted, but I don't think I'm capable of doing that yet.

Not really necessarily about buying, so I don't know if this post fits here. But seems like a good place for the "discussion."

Let us compile a list of European content creators / artists.

I find that the US may have a rather large influence online, via music and content, and art. Yet I feel like Europe also has great stuff that could be getting more attention. So, what are some good European musicians, YouTube channels, podcasts, etc.? No matter the language.

Maybe do indicate the language, to help people filter through what they can understand. And maybe the country as well, or not. A short description and/or category is also nice, for people to know ahead of time if it is something they're interested in.

Dunno if a "similar to" would be a good adition, as in "for people who like" or "an alternative to"

This could also be made into some sort of Awesome list on Git. Feels like that'd be cool. Or at least a list people could search and filter through. If anyone would like to take this idea and make it a thing, feel free!

For instance:

Long Story Short – Podcast – News – English A short daily European news podcast

Article is in German; it’s an interview with the head of Zotter (an Austrian chocolatier). Also in the article: “We don’t dare invest in the US any more. The uncertainty is too great. Every additional 1% makes the chocolate more expensive, and ultimately someone has to pay for it.”

i finally received my crowdfunded copy of Earthborne Rangers, which due to its environmentally friendly goal, made all their cards without the plastic core cards usually have in order to spare the environment. they're all floppy and fragile, so they definitely need sleeves. only... there's around 1300 cards.

buying cheap card sleeves from china would run me around €16 plus import duty, but all the ones i can find in local stores are like €5 for 100... that's a lot of money. and i don't even know where those are produced.

so, any recommendations on where to get sleeves? preferably with some rigidity if that's a thing that exists? i think the cards are like 88x63mm.

Edit:

Turns out Arcane Tinmen, from Denmark, make some of their sleeves in-house! so Dragonshield sleeves are indeed european, except the really cheap ones.
