I believe you're not ignorant. But many folks probably lack the process knowledge (CMOS) required to understand why :-)

I signed in with Google and now it wants my Mobile Number. Trial or not (by the way, nothing in the welcome page or sign=in indicated this is a trial, I just assumed), why? That's an immediate no-go for me, let alone for any of my kids.

cloud is a subscription service too...sadly

hardcopy and offline copy(ies) is the only way, if one is able to maintain it in a disciplined way

I came here to say the same. The Swiss system is actually far superior, in my experience and opinion.

Amen!

Can you elaborate a bit on how does "Go's quite horrendous and limited type system" get in the way of crafting agents?

Honest question, I am genuinely interested in what cannot be done easily or at all due to limitations of the Go type system.

When I got to that part (line 1) I stopped reading.

Fascinating!

Living in Europe nearby, I've visited the museum multiple times in the past decade. It's one of my favorite standbys to take relatives or friends to. Can't recommend it—and Bolzano, or Bozen, depending on whether you lean Italian or German—enough!

Fully agree. My brain hurts when i see adverbs in improper positions like so. It’s called an adverb for a reason…

At the end of 2023 BH Photo Video was selling the M1 Max 16” 64G/2TB for 2,499. It’s the lowest I’ve ever seen it anywhere and I got one myself.

I was only partially correct. Looked again at asfinag and the grace period does not apply to 1 and 10-day vignettes. From their website:

"18-days-period Consumer protection is very important to us – especially as far as our digital products are concerned. Customers can withdraw from the online purchase of a digital vignette within 14 days. Taking into account a further three-day period for mail, your digital 2-months and annual vignette is only valid from the 18th day after purchase.

This deadline does not apply if you purchase a 1-day or 10-day vignette!"

This is no longer true, I believe (starting Dec 1 2023). You can buy the vignette online starting immediately.
