Let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Mandated warranty minimums and right to repair regulations are not mutually exclusive. We can do both, even if we don’t do them at the same time.

Right? All the little “misc/everything” stores disappeared.

Now if I want something isn’t 100% normie/mainstream, then I can’t find it in store anywhere.

I moved from the U.S. to Germany in 2020.

My running joke since was wondering whether I’d be eligible for citizenship or asylum first….

Almost over the finish line for being eligible for citizenship, but I feel like asylum isn’t that far off.

lol, either France’s tracking data is different than everyone else’s, or wolves really respect the sovereignty of the French border.
