That toaster looks older than the one I got during the soviet occupation and everything from then looks 30 years older.

Even if you got money for jewelry why pick the boring pointy piece of glass? There are gems and materials so much cooler than diamonds. My personal favourite is jade.

Google still works in languages other than English, like my workaround has been to just search in Estonian and I'll usually actually get better results and like zero AI content (AI sucks at Estonian, can't even get grammar right). So if you wanna use Google learn an obscure language.

Stop subsidising air travel and people are gonna prefer trains and boats real fast.

Been to Russia and live on the border of it. Basically if you have a chance of beating Putin you aren't going to be an option to vote for. The part of the government who decides who will be the options is controlled by Putin. The approval is pretty much bullshit, I haven't asked everyone in Russia but I have yet to meet someone who supports Putin, especially after he invaded Ukraine.

It depends on a lot of things. Something self-hosted would just cost the power and Internet you are already paying for but if you're renting the hosting and maybe even get development for your site it could cost a ton.

Countries really shouldn't have extradition treaties with the US considering the US refuses to work with the international criminal court and they'll have like the worst anti whistle-blower laws combined with some of the worst prisons.

Assange should be charged with whatever crimes he committed in his country not in the US.

He was literally voted out by their parlament by like 300 to 0 votes and the only country calling it a coup was Russia.

If by illegally remove you mean he was passing laws that would have made him a defacto dictator which in turn triggered protests that he violently put down triggering massive protests causing him to flee then yes.

Without aid Ukraine would lose more lives.

Why did you ignore the part where I said that the profits for grocery stores soared? Producing food has not become more expensive, that's all public info here.

Yea, price capping is as much communism as having public healthcare and when the price of electricity was capped it lowered the prices massively.

What was going on was the local power companies made deals with other countries and basically acted as middle men for reselling that power for a massive markup. Our government made a mandatory power plan that forces power companies to produce electricity locally for local supply at a fixed price and that pretty much fixed that. Those companies couldn't sell power at a massive markup anymore because everyone would just switch to the government power plan then.
