Small note, the airdrop was to Saint-Omer, a Luftwaffe airbase in France not a castle. Bader was later imprisoned in Colditz Castle.

As someone with a medium to large scale farm, the fertilizer price rises have been pretty severe. Already up about 40% over last year. It's really a confluence of factors. Natural gas is required to produce ammonia (it's about 80% of the cost), and usually the the prices of both move together, but this has outpaced those global fuel increases. Supply chain disruptions, increased demand, new tariffs on urea, higher fuel costs have all contributed.

Fertilizer accounts for about 35% of the input costs for my farm (corn and beans) and 25% for other crops so price changes have a pretty significant impact. There's pros and cons, price increases means less fertilizer applied and lower yields, but also less environmental impact and runoff/leaching.

Yes there should be no difference. I believe this is due to how Roku handles account region settings. When you create an account and register your Roku it gets region set to your country at that time. According to what I've read this becomes a permanent account setting, which you can change this by contacting Roku support, but they only allow you to change it once.

A possible workaround is to create a new separate Roku account from your new country and add it to your Roku, however beware this requires factory resetting your device. Also before doing so make sure Amazon Prime is available in your new country.

According to the edit at the bottom of the post, "1" is now complete.

"In less than nine months, 9GAG has more than quadrupled the number of monthly unique visitors to its site, going from 16 million to more than 70 million," said Tony Conrad, founding member and venture partner at True Ventures. "With its ability to easily and quickly spread entertaining visual content via Facebook and Twitter, the potential of 9GAG as a viral distribution platform is huge, and we look forward to working together with them to maximize this opportunity."

This seems like a large, risky bet to make on a humor site with fast growth but not much track record. I don't know a lot about 9GAG, but it seems like a case where since Funnyordie and Reddit were successful, any site with growth deserves investment.

Citation - I work at Google (in a much different area). It was actually a change rolled out to talk systems. I don't know what the change was yet but will get details and the system is recovering.

The cause is a core infrastructure failure I believe

edit: It was a change to talk, not sure what it was that failed yet.

edit 2: Google Talk has been restored for some users and should be resolved for all in near future.

No linux client turned me off of full adoption (especially when dropbox does support linux)
