Thank you for sharing that — especially with it being personal information. Like your husband, I moved to Germany and cannot check my vaccination history — at least not easily, being estranged from my relatives. Coming from Spain and having been born in the late 90s, I very likely received all the usual vaccines. Still, I’ve been wondering what I could do about this for years. I will ask my Hausärztin sometime.

I dislike this as much as everyone else, but… Would you give us a “/s” or some other indication of sarcasm? Some people assert what you wrote –or similar things– unironically.

Prices are so bad that De Beers is for sale?!

BHP’s bid for Anglo American, which owns De Beers, is playing a role too.

Indeed; the title confused me too. I guess they assumed the connection with Europe to be implicit, given they are the European Center for Digital Rights and use a .eu domain.

Elon, is that your younger self on the right?

No, it’s not, but at first I thought it was.
