Anecdata I know, but all my purchases with Temu have been a positive experience so far. Yes dirt cheap with questionable quality items, but delivery is much quicker than e.g. Amazon. That said, I didn't use a credit card but iDeal instead (Dutch system, much harder to fraud).

Chitin is not produced by mammals.

Fingernails are composed primarily out of keratin (same as hair and skin).

We have these breaking news tv screens all over the lunch room. I absolutely hate it, can I please enjoy my lunch in peace?

That's already pretty likely, given multiple devices per person.

That's easier said than done when you have a proverbial gun pointed at your head https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act

I am not sure if American legislators realize that all these trade restrictions are only accelerating Chinese domestic chip development. The restrictions have the same effect as import tariffs, which is exactly what a government would do if it wants to protect and/or develop its own fledgling industry.

Yeah fuck that. As a Dutch citizen it should be up to our government to decide whether we let ASML export. But no, it's got to be the Americans.

I used to be, but for me it's no longer available from the app store. Is it geolocked these days?

I use Hews2.

The average car age in the EU is 12 years old. Even in richer member states the average is often over 10 years (germany: 10.1, Netherlands: 11.4)

So at least in that part of the world, most people absolutely do keep a vehicle for 10+ years.

Please realize Northern European winters are... dark. It's not the cold that matters much, it's the darkness for months on end that can be seriously detrimental to mental health if you're not used to it.

In my experience, yes.
