  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

  • I used to have a thing for coffee brewers. Would try out so many different options and spend a lot of money on getting them (second hand)

    I eventually settled on my Moccamaster. Tis the best coffee brewers I've had and I wouldn't trade it for anything else by now

  • That's great! Although I'd strongly recommend changing blades more often. They are so cheap that they are not worth overextending like that. Your face deserves better

  • Entirely too late.

    This should have been done two years ago. The EU seems to be making all the right decisions but taking way too long to settle on them and implement them

  • DE-razor I shave with a new blade every second shave and it's still cheaper than any other shaving method that I've tried. On top of that the shaving soap last for ages (literally years) and the shaving experience is fantastic if you get the right razor.

    Don't go down the fancy road to start with though. I have some expensive stuff that I don't use and have fallen for a cheap razor from temu and proraso green soap. Also just a nylon brush works fine for me to lathe up the soap

  • China's new home prices fall at fastest pace in 11 months

  • In a true communist system, isn't the idea, that homes should be free? Dropping prices seems like a step in that direction for them

  • Risking being cut off if you don't allow a trade with Trump or accept to be annexed by the USA is part of my quality assessment for the service

  • I don't see it as philanthropy. That would be donating money or doing business with him that you could have done somewhere else for a better price or better quality

    It sounds like the business was straight up better and more secure with Elons competition.

  • Greenland chooses French satellites over Elon Musk’s Starlink

  • Main story: Greenland’s state-owned telecom company Tusass has decided to partner with the French satellite operator Eutelsat rather than Elon Musk’s Starlink to improve internet access in East and North Greenland.

    Key points:

    Goal: The deal aims to provide better and faster internet in remote areas like Tasiilaq, Ittoqqortoormiit, and Qaanaaq, which currently lack fiber or radio link connections.

    Technology: Tusass will use Eutelsat’s OneWeb low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which orbit closer to Earth and offer better connectivity for isolated regions.

    Benefits:

    Improved communication for local communities.

    Support for critical infrastructure, such as maritime safety and emergency services.

    Enables satellite-based mobile internet for search-and-rescue operations and ships.

    Why not Starlink?

    Tusass had been negotiating with Starlink, but chose Eutelsat instead.

    Tusass’ CEO, Toke Binzer, said the decision was based on an existing, trusted relationship with Eutelsat — not because one company is “better.”

    Tusass is under a confidentiality agreement (NDA) with Starlink, so it can’t share details, but the company hasn’t fully closed the door on future talks with Musk’s firm.

    Wider context:

    Greenland’s government wants to retain control over its critical telecom infrastructure and avoid becoming dependent on private foreign companies.

    A 2023 Greenlandic government report warned that liberalizing the telecom market could risk losing national control over supply security.

    The Danish government also recently announced new investments in European space independence — to reduce reliance on U.S. and SpaceX satellites.

    In short: Greenland is prioritizing sovereignty and reliability by expanding its partnership with France’s Eutelsat rather than Starlink. The move strengthens internet access in remote communities while keeping telecom infrastructure under Greenlandic control

    Ellers er min partner og mig ret dybt involveret i Nintendo Switch for tiden.. Hun fik den i fødselsdagsgave og den har været vildt imponerende og opslugende

  • In most places the two are the same and assumed to be the same.

    I realize that this is not the case in USA and I also realize that America voting is very complicated

    What we then can agree on is that American democracy is not democratic witch maybe makes it even more depressing

  • This is a huge surprise for the rest of the world though

    They had almost agreed to settle on this. It was meant to be a formality until the USA bullied its way by threatening tariffs on countries that would vote for it

    This is undemocratic and in the end, will hurt the USA more than the rest of us

    I hope that the world will soon have had enough of these methods. This is much much larger than two sides in one country
