China is more likely than the EU to replace Starlink on the Ukrainian battlefield
Insane headline, considering the article. Didn't expect such a bad take from the Kyiv Independent.

Sweden sees strongest support for joining the Euro in 15 years
Can't blame them. The Euro is managed quite reasonably. I can't speak for the Swedes but the EU only has to gain from Sweden joining the Eurozone. I've seen people comment here that giving up currency sovereignty is a terrible idea. But what does that mean? To me it simply means that in times of crisis, governments cannot simply order their central banks to print more fiat currency. This doesn't seem like a great long-term policy either.. but then again I'm not a full-time economist.

U.S. Atari parts store still open after 41 years, has spent $100K+ designing new parts — last original Atari hardware launched 32 years ago
That's cool and all but I don't think there's a drug in existence which can make that webpage make sense. It's like an HTML-CSS-fever dream

Buy European, Canadian, Asian, it doesn't matter!
Boycott Chinese, American, Russian. Buy everything else is my motto. I don't have a problem buying Taiwanese, Japanese, South Korean or Chilean products.

Companies still making business in Russia
Not surprised at all that not a single Chinese company has exited the Russian market. Quite shocked however, that over 200 German SMEs still haven't exited the Russian market.

A Trump-Putin pact is emerging – and Europe is its target

I realize the media can and does sometimes frame politicians in the worst light possible. But my god, seeing full sessions, not just short clips of the current president and vice president (especially the Selensky debacle in the White house)... they really are acting like comic-book stooges in front of cameras

There's easily 100 different kinds of Cola and Cola-Orange ("Spezi") mixes produced in the EU it's easiest to start taste-testing with everything in your local grocery store and finding out if one of them is to your liking. If you're from Germany, there's at least Fritz-Cola, Afri-Cola, Proviant-Cola, Paulaner Spezi (and Spezi made by many other breweries)...

Which European accumulated ETF to ECA?
There's only 3-4 big EU-Eurozone-Europe ETFs, I'm sure you can figure out which one suits you in about 10 minutes research 😅 At least that's how long it took me to decide what to swap my VOO for.

Tbh, I can't stand Bourbon, regardless of country of origin. Don't know of a single good scotch from the States though.

Gotta correct you there. The internet has its roots in the 1970s Arpanet (and maybe even earlier projects). You're thinking of the World Wide Web (Webpages, HTML, HTTP) that came with Tim-Berners Lee but is built upon the pre-existing internet structures and services.
