The saying remains: European rifles are amazing unless you're left handed.

I'm a bus driver in Europe, so part of the General public, I don't make much but I understood that if you don't pay, you are the product and will pay more than the paid equivalent in another way (by buying shit you don't need seen on ads). I'm not alone in this, the numbers are climbing.

So the air version of their border guard dancy thing where the challenge is who stomps the loudest wins, while random people around enjoy the ridiculous show while eating pop corn.

Surtout que ça va être un vote à propos des gouvernants plutôt qu'au sujet du budget proprement dit.

Le plus con dans cette histoire c'est que de mémoire, Bayrou, depuis plus de 20 ans faisait une fixette sur le déficit public parfois contre la droite et d'autres fois contre la gauche. À chaque fois il perdait, parce-que: "bon, il a raison mais c'est de la longue échéance, on a le temps de voir venir, allez: Qui veux une prime machin? Une aide aux entreprises bidule?"

Là, on est dans le gras du sujet, à deux doigts de se faire tomber dessus par les détenteurs de dette, et il va à nouveau perdre tout juste avant que le FMI débarque.

Ah mais non! Les serveurs azure et AWS pour les fromages qui puent sont dans des succursales bien séparées des entités américaines! Avec des serveurs sur le sol européen et avec un personnel européen. C'est bon? Y sont content? Ils signent les ch'ti contrats? ( Bon, le CLOUD act s'applique aussi sur ces filiales et serveurs, mais ça, les fromages qui puent ne le comprennent pas).

Bon, les chtites n'enfants! Qui veux des tablettes Surfaces pour l'école?

I'm talking about frequent vandalism of the car that amounts to extra costs to the owner of the car.

My European made T-shirts last about 3 years, thick, solid color, 100% coton (and it's 100% french sourced, processed and made if you chose the linen ones but you can wash very hot linen yet can't spin linen at high speed or it shorten) . But they cost a fortune (65€ a pop) and it's a pain each time I get to buy some (I'm just a bus driver, not a tech mogul) but in the end, I think the cost levels out with cheaper shirts trashed regularly. ( If anyone's curious: https://www.le-tshirt-propre.fr/ )

I saw that AWS also is pledging something similar.

Let all those responsible for IT in your company know that the CLOUD act, in the US, gives the government a prerogative access no matter where on earth the data is stored as long as the corporation is registered in the US, so European subsidiaries of US corporations do fall under the CLOUD act.

Don't be surprised if you encounter recurrent tire changes and paint jobs...

Any profit is sent back to the US. Whereas if I get my food in my local burger joint, all the money stays in my country. They are also nice burgers. I understand what you are saying but right now, and maybe the next few years, we do have to remind the US, you aren't an empire on your own. This for their brands AND their Tech services industry.

You know, games can be great tabletop too, strategic, tactical, RPG, it's all there + you get to meet people you wouldn't have met IRL because, like online gaming, it unites people from different walks of life. Great friendships are regularly made around gaming boards and those friends don't need software to talk too. Yes I know, some games require figurine armies but you can always find someone who'll be happy to lend you an army for a game and there are whole second hand armies sold.

I understand it makes things easy. I'm not a fan of that though. I know if you send mail from your new address to someone using gmail, google will get that address. But the robots have to then create a new advertising profile corresponding to that address and that profile is empty . If you tell google send it all to this new address, then google can already stuff the profile of your new address with the info from your gmail account. (And no: robots are stupid because there are hundreds of new emails created every second, they don't understand that name.surname@gmail.com = name.surname@anyothermail.com)

You have to change one after the other the emails in each important account you have (friends, family, employer, governmental agencies, ethical brands) and keep the ones you suspect of being sellers of your ID have the now secondary gmail one.

 

For EU citizens and residents: contact your local MEP.

The EU is a big ship and it takes time to turn around. That's fine and understandable, but I feel they haven't really understood the world has radicaly changed and they cannot hold onto the fairytale of US/EU cooperation, even if Trump is undone tomorrow, Hate towards us can come back in 4 or 8 years.
