Volkswagen now blocks grapheneOS

Founded by Nazis, but abandoned during the war and revived by British army officer Ivan Hirst whom both saw the potential for turning it into a workshop and building new vehicles for the British occupation forces.

After the war it was used by REME (Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) to repair British army vehicles, and it was used to build new vehicles. It was handed over to West Germany in september 1949.

The company as we know it today therefore effectively has more British roots than Nazi ones.

He definitely earned my respect when he told Biden to send bullets, instead of offering to evacuate him. He could have chosen safety, but instead stayed even though chances were that they wouldn't be able to hold back the Russians.

YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.
