Hi from Portugal, my wife and I have a couple pairs of these. Super comfortable, and you’re helping pay to clean Portuguese beaches!

This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.

Or said differently: signal will probably resist attempts to hack the chat, but it won’t resist the “beat him with a wrench til he unlocks his phone” strategy. That’s why secure comms for governments are usually done in a secure room in an embassy, on hardwired devices.

Which countries is it not OK in? I don’t ever remember it being a problem anywhere I went. But mostly I stay in Western / Central Europe I guess. Hi from Portugal.

Good in theory, but they’ve probably already stolen all the data, considering they had root access and wheeled in unauthorized hardware.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing - it’s closed now?

Fucking great album. Collins is a mainstay of my 80s shelf. Agree that he had a better catalog solo than with Genesis. Good choice.

This is completely unnecessary if you travel to a western democracy, like an EU country, Canada, Australia, etc. America is no longer part of that group though, sadly.

But think of the endless suburban car parks and Walmarts. Such culture.

Yea the whole MB system works exceptionally well. Would just be nice if it extended to other countries, just Spain would be a huge improvement. I don’t really get how SPIN is different, I haven’t used it yet.

I would guess everywhere else in Europe too no? For non-Portuguese: Your supermarket probably has its own brand, eg Aldi Cola, Lidl Cola…

Certainly the Caribbean island countries are all an odd choice, given their proximity, peaceful nature, and good relations with the US.
