I love that visualisation from the NYT article. What a fitting symbolism. Maybe it is just incompetence but that looks so much like a deliberate act. Block Congress from its view of the White House.

Are the windows/doors(?) at the lower front for real? That looks like the building version of the Homer car in from the Simpsons.

If you operate that within the EU, you better know what you are doing, hope it never gets leaked, or don't do half of what you are implying here.

What's an "Alligator Alcatraz", are they talking about the swamp Gulag?

WMD trucks was it one of the previous times the US set the region on fire, wasn't it?

Late stage Weimar Republic vibe.

The first amendment is just (on) a piece of paper. Will it be enforced against a constitution breaking executive? That is the question.

Custom exception for goods below 150 EUR have been routinely, if not systematically abused by companies from abroad mislabeling orders larger than 150 EUR. Add to that, that because of outdated international agreements, shipping across half the world have to be facilitated at prices that are usually lower than shipping within a single EU member state. Those 3 EUR are merely bringing the shipping costs more in line with that and can help handling the huge additional costs that all that waste creates. And that in the near future there won't be a customs exception below 150 EUR is something Chinese companies have really brought upon themselves. I know some consumers loved to evade customs but to think one is entitled to that is well, a choice.

So is Putin's Governor of Hungary now trying out the Barbara Streisand effect?

In the EU VoLTE seems to work with most providers but there are issues with some providers. I think the sailfish OS forum has a compatibility list. Not sure how the situation is in the US as, this does depend on providers.
