I'm working on JustRef[1]: AI Referee for Sports. I shipped the product a few days ago and seeing more than 2K users have already signed up and using the web app. Seeing people enjoy the application you created gives me a lot of enjoyment. Currently, I'm giving away 1 credit for every sign-up. No need to pay to try out.

Bronze is a VERY nice material. It's a shame it's actually too expensive to see much use in our modern consumerist lives.

I saw an instagram ad the other day offering to buy established Reddit accounts, presumably so that can post fake reviews.

I also got offered some money over telegram to review a hotel from a large chain and leave a positive review.

Governments should block Instagram and Facebook until they start doing something about ads about ilegal offerings.

I've seen ads selling fake clothes, real clothes but with a fake store, money exchange scams, and a few others.

I live in Switzerland and I know an ancient forest where I go every year and pull out about 20kg of chanterelle and 10kg of toten trumpeten. These mushrooms come back every year, potentially for thousands of years.

One year I found a big piece of a clay cooking pan in the area where the chanterelles grow.

There are also tons of ravines, potential caves but I won't know until I climb down the ravines, but about 20 km away there are tourist caves where you can pay to enter them, part of the same ridge system.

I wanted to see if I could use a metal detector to find treasure, like in the article but it's illegal here. I suppose I could go in at night with the equipment but it's probably not worth it since while the Roman's were very active in Switzerland they weren't in this very specific region.

But still, where did the clay cooking pan come from?

Can't you say you lost a ring or something?

Just cover holes properly. Please. With love, my ankles.

Reading news about my country I see it has the same coverage than the left media there.

Another lesson to be learned is not to put all your bread in 1 basket. They should disperse between all the European providers listed and not just with OVHcloud. Like that’s the entire premise of a network.

I'm not sure what about CPU performance but if you want a good windows laptop buy an ASUS. I find it easier to find models in Amazon Europe. They have some lines that aren't flashy with added crap.

Sadly, it seems this option is fading away, at least in the US.

I did this with my carrier in my country and a couple of years ago it stopped working.

I had a filter in Gmail that forwarded some emails and a cron script that checked the value from a river gauge and sent a text.

I'm using 'index fund' broadly to refer to the cost structure - very low management fees, very "dumb" wide market tracking. Plenty of these already exist in the EU, for EU citizens, you are correct.

But yes, they are taxed differently. A US-domiciled fund is much easier for US expats to invest in without risking losing over 100% of their return (I am not exaggerating), but only if you can actually find one which will accept money from you while resident in the EU. None do, to my knowledge, An EU-domiciled fund would probably be classed as a PFIC and have to fill out reams of paperwork to avoid messing up people's taxes. One that US expats love is possible in theory, but no one has brought one to market yet because it requires dealing with a lot of US taxation errata.
