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.

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)...

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.
