On the other hand, the closest equivalent in the rest of the Nordics (Denmark/Norway/Finland) is Vipps/MobilePay, and you must have a Visa or Mastercard card to use it.

Although they may increase this year because the Chinese government has been encouraging the substitution of coal for gas & oil during the Iran crisis.

The USA completely failed to eliminate the threat of a communist takeover of French Indochina.

Ask Pakistan if the threat of Afghanistan-based terrorism has been eliminated.

Except not really. If they were willing to risk sending many aircraft deep into Iranian airspace with SDBs and JDAMs they wouldn't be running out of ballistic missiles.

This is something people say, but in practice the Toyota Prius is still a very reliable car.

To be fair, running electric only at slow speeds is still good, because it's slow, stop-and-go driving that benefits the most from electric.

I think they were trying to say that it's surprising the Lightning sold so poorly considering the popularity of the ICE version.

The US has been doing air strikes in the Middle East on a regular basis since ~1990, and they extensively support the military adventures of allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Absolutely not. It will takes months to years to rebuild onshore infrastructure, and shipping companies will be very reluctant to send tankers into the Gulf. Negotiations may collapse and hostilities resume at any moment, especially since Israel does not know the meaning of the word ceasefire.

I assume you are aware that "they" are the Republicans? The Harris campaign avoided talking about it whenever possible, while Republican groups spent $200 million on anti-trans ads.

In many states these are available without proof of citizenship. When people say proof of citizenship they usually mean a passport or REALID.

em-dashes and en-dashes are used for completely different purposes, so why would they be confused?

Military ships don't run their radio beacons in combat zones. (There was an incident last year where the USS Theodore Roosevelt collided with a civilian cargo ship at night at least partially because it tried to approach the Suez canal with it's beacon off.)

As far as I know none of Trump's deals have been ratified by the Senate. None of them are valid.
