Well not "just". It's also philanthropy. Could be worse, like buying media influence, or advertising.

At the border you pay tariffs on all the costs up to that point, because they are all considered to be part of the value of the shipment as it crosses the border. So the price of good, plus the price of packaging (as far as it was packaged in China), plus the price of the freight shipping are tariffed together, which makes the result of the calculation a little worse, but fundamentally you're right.

No I haven't but I bought a Tamagotchi this week, lol.

Weird map. The non-Union Balkan states and Norway are cut out, but Switzerland is filled in.

You just reminded me of one of the Life is Strange fanfics I read once. Where Max and Chloe have these time and space warping powers and just go the opposite way, they determine the status quo is fucked and needs to be rectified globally and then start doing it in an actually thoughtful sensible way. (There was some shadowy confusing adversity but I can't recall its nature)

Can confirm they don't do that any more in Switzerland. They separate solids and liquids and have integrated bioreactors to clear the fluids. Only the cleaned liquids get dumped these days, the solids are stored and emptied every few weeks.

The new-ish Bombardier Twindexx Express have an issue with their bioreactors so unfortunately whatever they dump still stinks. The main train company SBB claimed to fix it in Summer 2024, but it was still stinky in Autumn.

We just recently discussed this project:

I don't think anything substantial changed since then.

The only real news are that it's been inaugurated. If you want a new picture check here

It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?”

People were trying that last year already, together with the arms deliveries. Until you came along and fucked with everything. You claimed to have such a great plan that you could end the war in 24h. Now, after 2307h in office you realise what everyone knew years ago? Truly a genius.

Well the packages from the default repo are vetted by your distro maintainers. So if you just install a package from your distro's repo you're still relying on the security of your distro.

If you go outside of that, either to get a FOSS package that wasn't packaged for your distro, or to get a non-FOSS package, you have to do your own due diligence, just as when you're downloading a third party package for Windows or macOS. Either by reputation or by finding someone trustworthy who has actually checked the code.

“The extraordinary thing is that lie detector tests are being threatened not to uncover potential anti-President Trump civil servants but to catch political appointees suspected of leaking classified or sensitive information,” a source in defense told the paper.

Sorry what? How is that extraordinary? The opposite, which seems like the sources preferred suggestion, seems way worse?! Loyalty tests are not justified by anything, leaking classified information could at least be a crime providing some justification.

In females it's the same. Skene's glands sit on the urethra.
