A quick scan of the article makes it clear what they mean here:

A political party with an armed wing

Looking at it through that lense it isn't a terrible take but a gross oversimplification of Hezbollah

Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn't quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account

This very much reads like the whole "China is weeks away from collapse." Every once in a while there is some fear mongering over the Treasury and bonds. This also coming from the Heritage Foundation is rather convenient with their call for fiscal responsibility and measuring the decline as being 3.5 years in the making.

While a US collapse would be good for a lot of the world this is clearly a political ad for Trump and project 2025. As in don't get your hopes up of anything meaningful happening

Are there really many Amish people living there? That always seemed more US and Canadian

I'll reply to both of you here. Luxembourg isn't quite a microstate by most definitions but is indeed small.

On the public transit, the free is very nice, the mediocre service is less nice. Other less nice things is that they are focusing on building more roads and less on better public transit networks(tram extension is nice though), so I rank it as moderately good in that sense when compared to other countries and their public transit networks and mobility plans.

As for why it isn't going full renewable there are a few reasons and could probably go into much more depth but only 1/4 of workers in Luxembourg have nationality there, the others are a mix of cross border workers(France, Belgium, and Germany), EU citizens who moved there, and 3rd country nationals. Only citizens of Luxembourg can vote for the government(EU citizens can vote for EU parliament and all can vote for municipal elections) and they tend to be a bit more conservative. Additionally land is super expensive so that is a barrier to renewables. What I will say though is there is an increase in it with a goal to hit 35% renewable by 2030 and there are quite a few wind turbines but, I would doubt it will get hit with the CSV being the primary party in government at the moment.

“In particular, people who receive such material involuntarily — for example in the context of a WhatsApp parents’ group — risk a minimum sentence of one year,” Buschmann said in a statement. The same, he added, also applies “in the case of teachers who have discovered child pornographic material on students’ cellphones and have forwarded it to alert the affected parents.”

So seems less like they have an excess of CP and more like they have a poorly worded law that allows prosecution of people who aren't the actual problem. Though teachers forwarding it to parents is a bit weird

Just because it is in your contract doesn't make it legal!

Realistically it could be worth checking your local laws regarding it and potentially speaking to a lawyer as some will do a free consult to see if you have a case

Yes, the brand Tupperware is an mlm and sold directly by sales people. Back in the 50s and 60s Tupperware parties were a thing.

The confusion is likely the whole q-tip/Kleenex thing. We call it all Tupperware but really it is not Tupperware brand most of the time

I don't see anything wrong with this list. I've read the majority of works listed here and would say if you read all of these you'll be quite well read, but don't stop once you are done here.

Personally I've never liked classifying things as beginner, intermediate, or advanced and just read what I feel like at the time.

Sometimes it is also easier to read a few works in a row by the same author. For example you have Lenin spread in different levels but it might be easier to read those one after another since these authors do all have a bit of stylistic differences and when they are mentioning other people you won't have to look up the person repeatedly if they are fresh in your mind from their other works

K-9 is a great app but doesn't provide email service itself

Well both have free options as well, but they have a bit lower limits in that case and a few less features. So I guess maybe sign up on both for a free account and see which you like more?
