Yeah, I bought a fitness band a few days ago. I know it will make things harder but I'm not going to fund left wing terrorists.

That's great to hear. I closed my amazon account and will never buy from them again. Luckily where I work, we have almost no dealing with AWS.

I just closed my amazon account, never buying anything from them ever again. Half their inventory is chinese garbage anyway.

Should have invested in a Garmin GPS, runs maps locally off a GPS signal. No chance for any google tampering there.

However as it's been posted here already, you placed your pin nowhereville, try putting it on a road and see

I checked the store page (Systembolaget.se) and the budweiser they sell is small bottles (33cl) and they are 1.83$ a piece, but I guess the import makes it cost a bit more

It kind of depends what alcohol but yeah it's very pricey. We have a slightly different system, all alcohol sales above a certain % is sold from a centralized location called Systembolaget. There are no offlicenses or similar and the highest you can get from a regular shop is 3.5%

Most of us that live in the south of Sweden get around by either travelling to Denmark (2-3 hour drive from most southern Swedish cities) or just take a bot to Poland/Germany where it's dirt cheap.

If you think that's a ripoff tho, a pint at a pub (around 5%) would cost 7$ so most Swedes have a concept of förfest (pre-party) where we get hammered before we go out, so we don't spend a fortune :)

We don't drink that much however. It's mostly weekend binge drinkers, but a litre of vodka is 50$ so you can probably guess why.

Also, our summers are long and warm, the only place that's light all night is the absolute top of Sweden, but that's like saying all of US rains 90% of the time because you lived in Seattle once :P

Greta however is the product of a left wing retards (her parents). The protest she staged was just a front for her mom that was releasing a book. And we all know how biased media loves left wing scum, that's why she rose to fame in Sweden.

Never ceases to amaze the size of the US states. A 1 day 8 hour drive for me is literally ANYWHERE in Europe. Any country is within reach with that timescale :o

It kinda depends on company policy. I worked for an international company with 13k employees, twitter/facebook accounts were handled by 1-2 people in Marketing (and me when she took a vacation).

But I do agree on the second part, was a long discussion on what how when where guidelines before I even got access to log on, let alone post

Was probably getting multiple requests from unknown sources, it would flag as crazy on any monitoring system. IT generally wouldn't trace it to TOR nor would they care, they would just flag it as possible suspicious malware and wipe it clean

This was from Amazon however, I made sure to check the company and it was listed as a UK company with at least partial assembly in the UK. Once I got the item I checked, no made in China, but in the manual it had a small note "made in prc" (People's republic of China). Pretty sure they knew China is scum and tried to keep it as subtle as possible

I make an effort to avoid buying anything made in China. Granted it occasionally happens when companies list factories in the UK but still somehow imported from China but it's rare.

Currently wearing a lot from military1st.ie, the MFH brand are all made in Germany

If you mean the donald account that posted the above, then perhaps. But if you mean the person itself, then no. She's real and she's a columnist so it doesn't surprise me she writes a lot. She's apparently a lawyer as well and a true conservative

That picture screams Indian tho, and from what I read her dad is from Jamaica. She's wouldn't even know which direction africa is let alone try and convince someone's she's black

Considering I queued with my grandmother in Poland when I was there visiting, and they fell before the USSR did and I was born in the early 80's, I'd say it's very plausible. I don't remember much (I was like 6) but she'd most likely be around 35 and remember it better

Yeah but we also don't know what the calls said. Not saying threats, but if it was clear this wasn't going away and he'll be hearing this everywhere he goes, it can flip a lot of scripts.

A lot of politicians simply go where the wind flows. If the majority of calls made it clear they would cruficy him if he didn't change I can see why he would. Speaking from personal experience on that one (was elected a few years in a local council)

The US made one is quite expensive, the other one is mostly in line with regular flag ships, however the performance does lack a bit in comparison.

I haven't had the pleasure to try one myself, but since it runs a different OS than the standard, it's hard to say if the hardware is enough or not.

But yeah, our privacy isn't cheap unless we give it away. It was said about Twitter, Facebook and all the other shit. "If you aren't paying for it, you're the product"

The same as with any place that monitors calls. You go from 1-2 in queue to 60+ permanently queueing requesting callbacks overnight and shit hits the fan in many places :)

There's no need to go back in tech to stay safe. If there's a market for your details, there will always be a market for privacy.

For instance the Librem 5 phone at https://puri.sm/

The article makes no sense tho? The first part said she was driving without a license, and the second part says she had her license suspended for a year?

Can anyone clarify this? If you drive without a license here it usually also means no insurance on the driver, top that with a DUI and you'd be looking at jailtime for sure
