Finland. It's full of paper machines constantly on sale as market goes down since fall of USSR which consumed most of paper at some point. There are so many companies here that I can't name one lol. Not clear how to get the good stuff in retail, Finnish companies suck at marketing worse than you can imagine.

This is local US issue. With your firepower, sure, nothing is local, but yet.

Finnish government is quite libertarian now, - it sucks, as any modern government, but it doesn't suck like DOGE. It doesn't suck like most. It's actually ok-ish, as long as it doesn't mess things up, and it doesn't; it doesn't do much besides allowing more alcohol in supermarkets and forbidding russians to cross the border at will to fuck things up. Borders are bullshit, but then it's more like front line between us and totalitarian hell here.

It's very complex academic question we have no answer to. I like to listen to all points of view, even those I do not support and those I oppose, to understand them, thus I have some kind of explanation here.

As I understand that, it's matter of resource management. There is huge ancap movement to replace monetary market with another form of social consensus, something like multi-money (some tokens to account for various resources and mechanisms to settle imbalances), or reputation engines (giving people with better chances of serving the common good more resources). "Good" ancap comes so close to other reasonable anarchy schools, that it totally sounds sane. It's a rare thing, often found only among the most educated capitalists and sympathizers.

Then there is just notion of understanding that imperialistic capitalism where resources concentrate in few actors hands sucks, and with better economical education The Free People should naturally resist it. Or die trying, well, naturally.

It is indeed a complex academic problem; yet I see popular ancap bs as theoretically redeemable through education (and practically, yes, I totally agree with the point of this drawing). Things are too screwed now to play these games, but rejecting a point of view altogether is not wise.

they are idiots, happens

like how russians claim that they are traditionalists, but have no real traditions except for those made up in USSR to force order and highest divorce rates. Just imagining themselves

Actually I know a lab that ordered a large set of glassware from China directly from factory and erroneously received a different set of glassware. Turns out the same factory makes lab glassware and those kinky glass cocks and buttplugs to be filled with hot or cold water. What's even funnier, the senior PI genuinely had no idea wtf that is and went ahead asking colleagues - people around the globe - what they think this stuff would mean, what weird technology is that.

Before you ask - I don't know the name of the factory, but probably it's easy enough to find on aliexpress, I'm into different stuff. Buying directly from manufacturer is better than buying from local reseller IMO. The best thing for a chemist in this category is probably buying lubricant components in moderate bulk and mixing them yourself so as not to worry about shelf life and be as allergen free as possible.

If the OP question is genuine - this thing is supposed to occasionally rotate around held by the neck, so the bottom has minimal footprint thus it does not hit anything. And this is the most stable and easy to manufacture shape for that.

Looks like they nest in rotten wood, not soil. They overwinter in soil though, so dump the thing before the fall. Overwintering in freezable bucket would be a questionable idea anyway.

I don't have any experience with these bees though, just some reading.

Oh I see. Is it any better than osmandplus? I understand the pricing models if the support is worth it. I don't have playstore in my android though, so kind of empty question. Also, is it opensource? If yes, I could build it myself, how would the pricing work then? If not, does it comply with all the opensource licenses?

what about openstreetmap?

As I said, I don't see myself fighting against Finland. I can always reason with decent liberal democracy and probably even convert them. Finland is effectively anarchic state - socialist, but you can trade all you want if you want; regulations are minimal and made by actual people, taxes are high (brutally progressive) but you know they are used for the community.

As you can see from modern conflicts, DMZ and stuff matter shit if your opponent is deragned maniac like Putin or Tump, and any ceasefire would be just them regrouping for final attack. They matter little if your opponents are "regular leaders" under pressure of international relations. Border rules are enforced at please of each side, and you'll need to force your opponent.

They'll need guaranties as well by the way. They sure are proposing something in their offer - if you are overgrown revolt, most of your forces might be guerilla (technically all they are non-coms and criminals by international law until you are recognized as a state). Removing your troops from buffer zone pretty much banning entry altogether or it means nothing. If you are not allowed to control execution of treaty, the buffer zone will be militarizred in 20 minutes.

And this Finland reference shows one more thing - the only guaranties in modern world, apart from nukes, are international alliances. You could be winning, but as long as the rule of triangle is in force globally, things can change, and without an alliance (real one, where you interdepend) you'll be crushed soon. So - just look at the map and see - make your state useful for someone you are not fighting against, produce something everyone needs, and be located where force needs to be projected - and you'll be reasonably safe. Do less - and you'll be eternal proxy war playground. Do nothing - and you will not be.

Exactly; they make an offer, they need to come up with something they honestly do not want to lose. I have no idea what they could reasonably offer in modern world. In older times people had firstborns and such, now everyone is just a cynical asshole who could sell their soul for 0.01% profit margin. But maybe they want the peace for real, and get creative... at least something to consider and give a laugh.

Remember: the peace is always made with an enemy.

You've missed the most important part.

The deal claims to provide it, but what will stop the state from not doing their part? I wouldn't be fighting someone capable of honesty, no state has that luxury today. What kind of guaranties could they provide? They are clearly lying.

It's an offer trying to objectivize my anarchland. I'll objectivise them instead, with a counter-offer! For example, let free passage of sympathizers and give me your firstborn to foster and grow up as an anarch! Something silly, they'll reject it and lose initiative, at least some part of it. I'll win time and be unpredictable. They are bargaining, they must be almost done.

Without guaranties - no deal.
