I am looking to use an open source Linux distribution made and based in Europe and/or Scandinavia.

I have done a Google search and see that SUSE is from Germany and Zorin OS is from Ireland?

Do you have any other distro's that you recommend to try and use?

Hello everybody!! How are you doing?? Here are the results for Group I of my Eurovision Gold Cup's Central & Western Europe region:

ADVANCING

1. Molly Sterling - "Playing with Numbers" (Ireland 2015) - 77 points
2. The Common Linnets - "Calm After the Storm" (Netherlands 2014) - 67 points

>!Btw, "Calm After the Storm" finishing 2nd in this group has ensured a meeting, in the final group stage, with "Rise Like a Phoenix", and I don't think we've previously had a battle of 2 songs that finished 1-2 in a Eurovision year (we would have had "Toy" vs "Fuego", but "Toy" lost to "El diablo").!<

There are now 2 qualifying groups left, and we proceed with Group J & it's 10 songs, which are as follows:

Lovebugs - "The Highest Heights" (Switzerland 2009)

Kati Wolf - "What About My Dreams?" (Hungary 2011)

Trackshittaz - "Woki mit deim Popo" (Austria 2012)

Filipa Sousa - "Vida minha" (Portugal 2012)

Roberto Bellarosa - "Love Kills" (Belgium 2013)

Rykka - "The Last of Our Kind" (Switzerland 2016)

Joci Pápai - "Origo" (Hungary 2017)

Cláudia Pascoal - "O jardim" (Portugal 2018)

Lake Malawi - "Friend of a Friend" (Czech Republic 2019)

Lesley Roy - "Story of My Life" (Ireland 2020)

You vote for your 5 favorite songs in this group, under the 6-4-3-2-1 point system. The top-4 songs at the end of the session will advance to the next round. Voting will end at 10 PM CET tomorrow.

I think it'd have a wild west extior (old farmhouse), a new Mexico kinda design for the first floor, and a Midwestern interior for the second. So what products would it hold? I think white and potato bread, American flags, 4 or 5 on brand soda brands, a couple products from crack barrel, and beef Jerky. It'd also have a souvenir shop; so if you want an American destination souvenir well then we will have it. Also an American guide. Tho nothing political AT ALL.

Edit 1: crack bareel: cracker barrel. Also include that marshmallow fluff, peanutbutter, cereals, red solo cups, Xtra hot cheetos. Will keep adding :) ooh moonpies too. Please don't hate me. Ik what I'm thinking and we'll you don't. Im just trying to find certain things. In this case, farmhouse. probaly also have a hot bar and boiled peanuts plus candied nuts. Fudge too. Candy and all. Gravy packets too.

Edit 2: ok anything I add will go here lmao. Alot of meats and oysters, game meats, lobster rolls, pies. And cobblers. Spice mixes and BBQ (Texan, Kansas, and North Carolinian). Chilli kits and all. Base ball cpas, national park pamphlets. This. And cheese from every state. Old bay.This. maybe not the con flag. Ginger ale. Smith field ham, red white blue everything, hotdogs. An area for American stationary (yellow school busses toys too) and hardware with us measurements and card for big American celebrated holidays. Cajun stuff, deepfried foods, and high priced bandaid. Sweet tea.

Okay part 3: so much. Jorts. 711 poster. Jones soda. Bud light and ranch. Cosco poster. Seasonal (cranberry sauce, pumpkins, pumpkin carving kits.) Toys. Also with the toys. Maple Syrup, Maple sugar leaves, Salt water taffy, Cowboy boots, Toy pickup trucks, Toy Monster Trucks, Toy NASCAR cars [and more](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnAmerican/comm

This is a very conservative and gradual re-opening compared to rest of the world.

I've assembled a packing list for an upcoming trip I'm taking and I'd love to be roasted on my naivete. If I'm missing things, overpacking, etc please let me know! This list consists mostly of things that I already own, but there are a few things I'm planning on buying for this trip and I've marked them with an asterisk.

In March I'm flying to London and then to Portugal a few days later. Staying in/around Portugal for March into April, then heading to Paris to meet a friend. From there we're going to Athens until May, and then my destination is up in the air!

This will be my first time traveling solo overseas after many years of shorter solo trips in the United States. I am planning to be in hostels, Airbnb, or WorkAway (not gonna tell border people this obviously) for the entirety of the trip. I've done two-week backpacking trips in the US, done week-long or weekend-long trips via air, but never overseas. I'm assuming the game is the same but still, would love feedback!

I'll always be wearing things off of this list, nothing extra is included.

Pack/Clothing

*Pack - REI Ruckpack 40 Recycled - I could be swayed into getting a different pack, this one is just affordable and hits my boxes
Shoes - Bedrock Sandals, Blundstone 500s
*2x 150g Merino Wool Long Sleeve henleys - unsure on brand yet
1x Patagonia Capilene Heavyweight base layer - the love of my life
5x T-shirts - 4x polyester or wool + my fav baggy cotton T-shirt
1x Nice-looking linen button up shirt
*1x Prana Alameda 7" shorts - tried on a friend's pair and love them, but open to suggestion
1x Prana Super Mojo Short - sleeping, swimming
Arc'teryx Beta LT Gore-tex Jacket
Arc'teryx Atom AR puffy - also the love of my life
Arc'teryx Gamma Rock pants
1x Denim jeans - Maybe 2x? Dunno. Depends on space really
1x Arcade Belt
7x Arc'teryx undies
5x socks (2x Kirkland Signature wool, 1x Darn Tuff wool blend, 2x Darn Tuff Polyester)
Baseball hat
Beanie
Buff
Sunglasses

Toiletry/Non-Clothing

*Fjallraven Ulvo fanny pack - a friend has one, but again open to suggestion
Phone, keys, wallet, passport
*Microfiber Towel - what's the best brand??

Toiletry kit:
-Dr. Bronners travel size
-Toothbrush toothpaste
-Daily contacts for 3 months
-Glasses, glasses case
-Deodorant
-*Philips Norelco One Blade-Clippers, tweezers
-An emergency kit with tape, painkillers, the usual stuff

Hi all, question about US account issue. I used to live in the US (but non a US citizen) when I opened my account but I no longer live there and for 2 years I live in Europe. I logged into my Binance account after a long time last week, and I saw that Binance no longer serves to US and I need to withdraw my funds immediately in 6 days. I already did that, but now I would like to close my US account and open a new account in my current country in Europe. I tried opening a new account from where I live now with a new email address, but verification failed saying that I already am a US person and can't open a new account (I don't know how they understood the connection between the two accounts - perhaps my name and date of birth or maybe my phone nr, not sure) I am not a US citizen and I no longer live in the US. Any idea how I can open new Binance account from Europe?

Hi everyone, first post here. My interest is in open borders. Hope to heard back.

I can kind of understand alcohol. Far cheaper buying some drinks after security and drinking it on the plane than the overpriced service on the aircraft, but cigarettes too? You can’t smoke until you get out at the other end anyway, and they’re happy for people to take an already opened packet through security.

Im assuming some kind of tax thing but I couldn’t find any information on Google beyond “you can’t do this.”

So I’m going to Warsaw in January and I’m worried about Covid. I’m vaccinated and will have the booster by the time I go. However, I really wanna be able to go out and drink and meet people. Where would be the best location to do this ?
