I think allowed shipping destinations are defined product by product. At least in the opposite direction it's true, when I look at the US Amazon, some products are available for shipping to EU, some are not.

I think Meta is doing a decent job with Instagram. I mean except for collecting all possible data and psychological profiling of users to serve them targeted ads, it's a decent enough platform. And the only one still allowing for engagement with your actual friends rather than exclusively professional content creators.

I remember the first time I used one, but not for technically getting anywhere. It was the mid 90s I think, childhood memories are hard to place exactly.
My dad bought a GPS device for work and let me play with it a little. It was an even older model from the late 80s probably. Alphanumeric display only, it couldn't even draw an arrow let alone a map.
I tried to follow the instructions from the manual to make it do something. I remember wanting to navigate to the other end of the back yard. But the manual was all in English and I couldn't figure it out in the end.

Technically I've been on a couple of dates because friends convinced me that I have to try. I got panic attacks. It felt that I have to perform well to show others that I can do dating, but at the same time I didn't really want to be there.

There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.
Wow. Btrfs ftw

Thanks. Whenever I see such an absurd news about a politician from whichever country or political party, I need some kind of fact check

Are you sure this is not satirical? "The Daily Beast" sounds like something a satirical news site would call themselves.

I'm sure it will be tough for the mother in question, raising a child is not easy especially alone. But for many people who want children, it gives them a chance to achieve a huge goal in life. From the societal side, if the average birth rate is way below 2 per woman, the practice should be encouraged for purely practical reasons

I think it's finally time to restore the Mandate of Palestine:
- Israelis get to live there but not their own special state
- Palestinians get to live there but not their own special state
- Everybody gets to hate the British, as is tradition
- Brits finally get a colony back, it'll lift their mood after the brexit disaster

Typical mindset of revolutionaries. If they can't flip a switch and everything is 100% as they imagine immediately, they don't want it, and will actively fight against partial progress.

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn't actually address the problem

It started with "we have no idea how they did it". Then over time it morphed into "we have several hypotheses but don't know if it any of those is realistic". The current state of things is still there regarding the construction technique itself.
In the meantime the village where construction workers lived has been found. Now we know the profile or people who built the pyramids, how they lived and what they ate. Even some details about work organization.
All of this still didn't propagate into the popular culture which is still stuck in the 1980s regarding pyramid knowledge.

Context: During 16th and 17th century several Popes made proclamations to the effect that "slavery is bad" especially on Christians.
Slave traders involved in the Atlantic trade were quick to adopt the newfangled idea that all of humanity can be divided into "races" based on skin color and physical features. Africa was their largest source of slaves, and if they could convince everyone that African people were somehow not fully deserving of (what at the time passed for) human rights it would mean extreme profits.
The cross logo belongs to the Portuguese royal monopoly Casa da Índia and is a bit anachronistic since the slave trade was fully privatized by late 1500s
