Yeah, there is no law or rule that UTC offsets need to be full hours.

If the EU abolishes DST in its member states, there won't be any patches or updates necessary to software out there. The timezone database will simply be updated to reflect the change of policy and bam, once your system has the new tzdata, restart your apps and they will automatically understand it. This is not like the Y2K bug that needed actual patches.

Well, according to Trump, there is no friendship between nations, only deals and leverage. Well, orange man, what do you have to offer for our eggs? Maybe lift your stupid tariffs again?

Ah yes, because the war on drugs worked soooooo well in the US.

Wait, the news said last night that the passus about shunning US arms industry was ultimately removed from the EU resolution's last draft. Now here's another article claiming it's in, plus even extended to include Israel? None of the news sources I found actually link to the freakin' EU papers they are all talking about.

The white paper ( https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/document/download/30b50d2c-49aa-4250-9ca6-27a0347cf009_en?filename=White+Paper.pdf ) only contains "Israel" in one place and it's not about where to spend money.

Can someone guide me to the actual, final, real, true statement the EU made?

Joar ich frag mich auch schon wofür man in Deutschland noch Ramstein dulden sollte (das frage ich mich bei Rammstein auch, aber ein Schritt nach dem anderen). Die Amerikaner sehen Russland ja offenbar nicht mehr als Gefahr, warum sollten sie also noch Truppen auf dem europäischen Kontinent stationieren?

Mein MSCI World ETF ist auch um 10% eingebrochen in den letzten paar Tagen. Das ist deutlich spürbarer als der Beginn von Covid oder der Ausbruch des Gazakrieges.

some basic manners before going into politics.

I don't think manners ever mattered for political success. They might even be a hindrance.

Have you tried setting browser.ml.chat.enabled to false in about:config? That immediately removes the chatbot from my sidebar.

At this pace he will soon sanction the Ukraine for something.
