AliExpress at least lets you buy close to the source of a lot of goods that you won’t find made elsewhere than China. Some stuff I find there exists from European makers, latest example, trim clips for cars: you can buy Restagraf but you need to live near a car body shop supplier that will be willing to sell you a few clips without insane markups.

If they get fined often they’ll stop.

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

I wonder if it would even show if they didn’t count fuel prices in the index, because they’ve been low for months.

LVMH still have a lot of workers in France. They can afford it with their insane margins and that way they can say stuff is made there (it doesn’t mean they actually care, some components are from cheaper countries).

I go to Germany regularly, never been checked. Police go to the same supermarket to do their shopping but they don’t check the border. There’s thousands of roads they’d have to monitor 24/7. Even during COVID restrictions small roads were never monitored consistently.

I think a straight razor would only be cheaper at scale, if you shave half the town in one go every few days. They’re fun but they’re obsolete for a reason: time isn’t free and the upkeep is so much work!

How do you deal with the contorsions needed to shave on the side your good hand doesn’t flex well towards? I have an actual straight razor that I seldom use because it works really well and I don’t usually cut myself, but it’s really annoying to get everywhere on myself with it. I don’t trust using my other hand whereas with a safety razor if I need to I can without peeling half my face off.

If you’re coding with them you can already try small ones, unless you need bigger than A4 size for each it isn’t insanely expensive.

It’s not that inconvenient considering how shitty the Signal desktop experience is: it’s slow, bloated and has moody sync.

SimpleX is anonymous and works well.
