The European Union urges citizens to stockpile supplies to last 3 days in case of crisis in c/europe@feddit.org

The biggest hassle here is having enough water since you can't leave the water stale for too long, some food and essentials is easy to have a small stockpile of

I've made my Xing account but still need to fill it in like my linkedin. Currently LinkedIn still gets me recruiters weekly so no way am I leaving it for now, not that I'm actively applying but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot.

EU calls for households to stockpile 72 hours of food amid war risks in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] Kualdir@europe.pub 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I could survive 72 hours on the food I have at home at any time, it won't be grand tho and I'll still need electricity to make most of it.

Once I move I'm planning on having a small stockpile (cause I'll finally have space for it) to last about 2 weeks or so, worst case I just need to eat it and restock it later and best case it saves me a lot of hassle in a crisis.

Prisoners swap cells for battlefield to bolster Ukraine’s army (english.elpais.com)

“They come highly motivated, much more so than the average recruit today,” says Valentyn about the former prisoners. There are hundreds of them, although he doesn’t reveal the exact number. In routine training, at least 50 huddle among the trees of a dense forest of bare branches on the outskirts of Kramatorsk. Some receive instructions to simulate an assault, others practice with their rifles, and others learn how to provide first aid to a wounded person.

Not every prisoner benefits from the new law. Those convicted of treason are excluded, as are drug traffickers, rapists, pedophiles, or those convicted of murder. The final say on release always rests with a judge. “There are mainly thieves and those convicted of assault,” Arey believes. Garik, a 28-year-old professional middleweight boxer, ended up in prison over a fight. He broke several bones in a man’s face, and because he was a federated athlete, the judge gave him a sentence equivalent to if he had committed assault with a knife, an aggravating circumstance that also exists in Spain. He received 13 years, but his lawyer managed to get his sentence reduced to eight. “I had been in my cell for two years, with nothing to do, when they asked me if I wanted to come. I didn’t think twice,” he says.

For me an EU based (degiro) was better cause it can automatically provide tax documents / apply for benefits (like no double tax on US stocks)

As far as I'm aware the company behind degiro is actually called "flatexdegiro" so not sure if they're related

Currently got most of my EU ETF in Amundi and planning on selling the rest of my iShares EU 600's later this year to put it in Xtrackers (first got some other financial stuff to focus on to see that my tax bill doesn't go boom)

Any law that shits on your rights will eventually be used by fascists.

Pro EU stickerpacks? (europe.pub)
 

cross-posted from: https://fedia.io/m/europe@feddit.org/t/1950256

Signal, Telegram, and I think even Whatsapp have stickerpacks. (Signal Stickerpacks example). Does anybody know a stickerpack for the European Union? Or we could crowdsource one together :) > > Maybe even get the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu in on this?

First I switched to ice tea sparkling from lipton (before joining the movement) and now I just buy store brand soda's instead. They're at least a bit more healthy and are so much more price competitive! I don't drink much so it saves me at most 10 euros a month but buying 1L of cola for almost 3 euros vs 1.20 for 1.5L store brand is insane
