The name is misleading. It's just a one-man project to create a new Linux distro which has nothing to do with EU. Out of all the good European options, they chose to go with an American distro as their base. And to manage their project, they use an American Git provider.

There's also Vipps MobilePay. MobilePay was created by Danish bank Danske Bank. They merged with Vipps to form Vipps MobilePay. It's confusingly enough called MobilePay in Denmark and Finland, and Vipps in Norway and Sweden. It's a mobile app you can use to send money between users and make payments in both online and brick and mortar stores that support it. I think it supports NFC payments in Norway and later this year in Finland.

I submitted it to the site.

The launch is scrubbed due to weather. They will try to figure a new launch window.

People are monitoring the launch over at https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=62618
And there's a person attempting to live-stream the launch at https://www.twitch.tv/realairgel (stream will start just before launch)

Launch is supposed to happen about an hour from now.

Good quality loose-leaf tea comes mainly from China, Taiwan and Japan. Bulk tea, like what goes into teabags, comes from India, and some other countries. There is some tea production in Europe, but last time I heard, those leaves tend to be expensive and not as good as Asian leaves. Blending and scenting can of course be done in Europe, but the raw ingredient comes from somewhere else.

And, yes, something like tisane would be a better word for the non-tea teas.

Tea Adventure's Online Tea Shops list is a good tool, if you want to find tea sellers. You can use the text box in the upper right corner of the list to filter the shops. For example, write "europe" in it, and you get only European tea shops.

Santa Maria indeed is a Swedish company, and they are owned by a Finnish company.

E: This is probably the spice you mentioned. They ship worldwide.

  1. Install Calibre and DeDRM. No need to worry about serial number
  2. Locate your Kindle books on your drive, and delete them (or move to other location)
  3. Install Kindle for PC 2.4.0. You need to search the internet for this. Be careful with malware.
  4. Launch it, and disable automatic updates somewhere in the settings of it
  5. Download all your books using it
  6. Locate the books again
  7. Drag each book to Calibre. Use the search field of Explorer to make this part easier (*.azw, *.azw3, *.kfx)
  8. Confirm that they were DeDRM'd successfully. For example, by converting all of them to EPUB.

E: Updated the Kindle for PC version. Also: Don't use epubor.

DeDRM removes the DRM when a book is added to the library. It should show error, if it fails to remove it. But, it's a good idea to convert files, as that makes sure there are no DRM protected files in your library (you can't convert or open DRM protected files), and you need to convert them eventually anyway. I do recommend keeping the original file in case the conversion ends up creating somehow broken result. It's easier to fix them by starting from the original and changing some settings, instead of trying to fix a poorly converted file.

The Amazon address for most Europeans is https://www.amazon.com/mycd. If you have bought your e-books from your "local" Amazon, just replace "com" with the correct letters (de, es, ...).
