Swede here. Before we imported potatoes in the late 1700s all we had were beets. Just beets. Beets everywhere.

What did you expect.

Trump doesn't know the difference between the Soviet Union and Russia.

Because that's what Putin wants his minions to believe.

Ukraine were largely the force that defeated the Nazis on the east front in WWII - not Russia. Both were however part of the Soviet Union at the time.

Southwestern USA had drought periods lasting hundreds of years in recent history. That's normal for the region. And we think we should pack a few tens of million people there and treating ground water as infinitely renewable.

Solar power + desalination en masse or gtfo ...

Harder to start? That sounds extremely weird - it's electric :D I've never had such issues (Sweden, on my second EV) while ignition when really cold has always been problematic with my gas/diesel cars.

Range goes down, yes. That's true also for gas/diesel cars, but when the range is good enough we tend not to notice/care. My previous EV (Tesla Model 3 SR+) had lousy range both summer and winter (Tesla lies about their range) but in the winter it was indeed painful.

The current one (VW ID.7) has about double the range and also performs as stated. I expect a 20% drop in range in the winter and that's just fine.

Very well. It's much more enjoyable to own an electric vehicle in colder climates than a gas/diesel powered one actually, since you can let it heat up and defrost completely before going anywhere.

This is the way to do it.

all of these features are on-demand

none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).

Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)

All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. That success likely had a role in why they continued with Ukraine in 2014.

The negative, since I couldn't see it:

Chromium-based browser. Support for the Proton Mail desktop app will come at a later date.

Is it technically not possible on Firefox? I would've expected a large overlap between caring-about-privacy and not-running-chromium amongst your customers :/

Many countries have lowered the max dosage of Paracetamol from 1000mg since there's indeed a worry that it will cause liver damage. I'm in one of the countries that still go with 1000 (Sweden) and my suggestion would be to use 500mg Paracetamol and 400mg Ibuprofen taken together instead. That's what the medical professionals themselves do.

That said, something in your life is causing you to have morning headaches and it's a better idea to fix that. Regular painkiller usage is one of the things that causes it (!). Other possibilities can be waking up during the wrong sleep cycle (deep vs light), sleep apnea causing bad sleep in general, overdosing on caffeine causing withdrawal symptoms in the morning etc.
