this is a digital recreation. a real microscope can't be used because it gets so small that photons can’t give you a good enough resolution to view the structures at the bottom. you'd need an electron microscope

There's no way he could stop in time to not pulverize us. Dually F-350

"It didn’t go unnoticed in Frankfurt that Visa and Mastercard suspended operations in Russia in March 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine……Thirteen of the 20 countries in the euro have no domestic card scheme. You use an international operator, or you pay in cash."

It hasn't gone unnoticed that the US is threatening to invade an EU country's (Denmark) territory, either. Would a future President Trump or President Vance threaten to shut down European financial infrastructure if it opposes an annexation of Greenland? Who knows, but better to take away that opportunity for leverage.

The plan is that you can link it to your bank account or open a special account at post offices throughout the EU. There will be phone apps for payments and digital Euro debit cards. Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay typically charge 3% fees; the digital Euro will have none. That will ensure it is speedily adopted by retailers and quickly supplants the US providers. Also worth noting its technology will be 100% European only, leaving zero vulnerability/leverage to non-Europeans.

This is the only grave that is covered like this at my local church and I’ve been curious for ages.

I was gonna try Monster Hunter Wilds, even with the performance issues, but nah, ain't dropping $38.

I still have acne at 31 years old. My mother-in-law (63f) has made a comment about my acne every time my husband (33m) and I visit his parents. Before Christmas, I had asked my husband to tell his mom to please stop commenting on my acne. My husband said he talked to his mom.

My husband and I went to his parents for Christmas dinner. All his siblings and their spouses were there. His uncle and aunt were there. When we arrived, my MIL made a comment about my acne. Then she said I gained weight. At least one sibling and their spouse heard what my MIL said. I just turned around and left.

When my husband got home, he said that he was disappointed in his mom's behavior. Then he said he was disappointed at my behavior. He said I should have been the bigger person. He said his mom is old and old people are notoriously insensitive. Am I the asshole ?
