Much more important is standardisation, so that ammunition and replacement parts can be shared if necessary, instead of each country maintaining its own limited stockpile of its domestic manufacturers’ proprietary parts.

Would also be a good time to switch to the metric system and right-hand traffic.

Interestingly, Walmart tried the opposite direction in the late 1990s: establishing itself on the German market. After less than 10 years and an estimated loss of $1 billion, they withdrew completely. There are numerous articles and videos about this topic, simply search for “Walmart Germany loss”.

Ich spekulieren mal, dass gerade während der frühen Covid-Phase Telefonberatung mit der Anweisung zuhause zu bleiben besser war als wie in Deutschland sich zum Arzt zu schleppen und dort im Wartezimmer die Sitznachbarin mit dem verstauchten Knie zu verseuchen.

This suggests being a Republican is not a genetic trait.

If AI is so good, why not firing the underperforming sales agents and replacing them with AI instead?

No one mentioned Posteo yet. Web interface for mail, calendar, etc has 00s vibes, but as it uses standard protocols you can use any client/app. Costs 1€/month, and more if you like to have more storage or features.

I can only hope that the A.I. bubble bursts in time when I need to buy a new computer.

Bis in die späten 1980er Jahre wuchsen Löhne und Renten nahezu im Gleichschritt mit der Pro-Kopf-Produktion – der wirtschaftliche Fortschritt kam also bei der breiten Bevölkerung an.

Hmmm, ob das daran lag, dass man den Klassenfeind im Osten überwunden hatte und nicht länger dafür sorgen musste, dass auch die Arbeitnehmer vom Kapitalismus profitieren?

… and your inheritance.

First, this is not the Swedish defense minister, that would be Pål Jonson (different hair). The guy referred to is responsible for civil defense, and it is literally his job to tell people to stock food, water, and cash. Then, the article is probably due to his speech at a NATO conference in early November: https://www.government.se/articles/2025/11/swedens-total-defence-highlighted-at-nato-civilian-planning-conference/ So, do not complain about the paywall. You will get probably the same information elsewhere.

Finally! Do you have an idea how expensive those things are and how much my wage slaves must work for that?

Especially true for pregnant women.

Det finns lite mer aktuell information i ett inlägg från två veckor senare (13/11). Lite mer detaljer finns i SBB:s pressmeddelande:

• Tågen kommer att lämna Basel SBB ons/fre/sön kl. 17.35 med ankomst i Malmö kl. 9.35.
• Tågen kommer att lämna Malmö tor/lör/mån kl. 18.57 med ankomst i Basel kl. 11.30.
• Plats för 350 resenärer, fördelat på sitt-, ligg- och sovplatser.
• Halt i Tyskland: Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf, Karlsruhe Hbf, Mannheim Hbf, Frankfurt (Main) Süd, Hamburg Hbf
• Halt i Danmark: Padborg, Kolding, Odense, Hoeje Taastrup, Kobenhavns Lufthavn
• Kan bokas via sbb.ch och deras app.

Har direkt sökt efter en resa Basel–Malmö på en slumpmässigt vald dag i april. Ankomsttid har blivit 10:50 (fortfarande samma avgångstid). Billigaste biljett börjar vid 53 CHF (624kr, sittplats), dyraste biljetten är 456 CHF (5381kr, “Single Deluxe”, egen coupe med dusch+WC, biljett kan ombokas/återköpas).

Jag undrar om EU:s regler för tågresenärers rättigheter gäller, t.ex. om man bokar bara Malmö–Frankfurt.

Remember, Google is not alone:
