Erika's Originals are EU made and great quality.
Maybe not as colorful as you want.

Yeah, fair enough. Definitely not as strong flavored.
Yu choy is such an underappreciated vegetable in the US. It's usually very inexpensive, available at asian groceries all over, and stands in well for other greens. We use it as a 1/2 price (or cheaper) alternative to broccoli rabe in Italian dishes.
Yeah, this. I'm probably more aware of and familiar with world languages than the average American, but I have flipflopped between die and day pronunciations of Hyundai. I tried to figure out why that might be and I think it's probably related to the romanization differences among several east Asian languages. This seems most problematic with older romanization methods. Newer ones feel more intuitive.
For example I'm meant to pronounce the 'ai' in Taipei, Saipan and zaibatsu as rhyming with "die", but the 'ai' in Hyundai and waifu as "rhyming with "day". So it's memorization and context. Which feels very appropriate as an English speaker when all of our shit is irregularities and exceptions!
Seriously. They must be new here.
Any car before electronic ignition became more popular. My first two cars (purchased already old) had them and I'm old but not ancient. If you had a mass production car built in the 1970s or earlier you probably had this in the distributor. The points eroded due to the high voltages and would get a pitted surface, causing problems with ignition timing and that could be bad. It's a wear item, so file them to dress them up a bit until you can't any more. Then replace them. But when you file or replace you've got to adjust the points and check the ~~timing~~ (edit:) dwell again.
Both electronic ignition and later the ECU (plus developments in materials science) improved the lifespan of spark plugs too. This is why there were so many tune-up shops in the old days. You needed to regularly check the plugs, points, timing, oil and filters. Plus all the other things that didn't last or remain in adjustment as long back then as they do now.
Maybe the linked article changed since it was posted? That's the story I read yesterday, but the article I see posted says:
It was handed over on Wednesday to the Argentinian judiciary by the daughter of the late Nazi financier Friedrich Kadgien, Patricia Kadgien, who has been under house arrest with her husband since Tuesday.
Looks like this one is in Ísafjörður!
Not worthless. The coinage had intrinsic value, being made of metals with a commodity value. So it's not like holding a paper banknote when a government collapses. People would still have used them to hoard savings, for trade and melted down as a source of precious metals.
That was really the only value they ever had. Boosted a bit by confidence in the purity (but also reduced when Rome debased its coinage).

I'm doing this on a couple of machines. Only running NFS, Plex (looking at a Jellyfin migration soon), Home Assistant, LibreNMS and some really small other stuff. Not using VMs or LXC due to low-end hardware (pi and older tiny pc). Not using containers due to lack of experience with it and a little discomfort with the central daemon model of Docker, running containers built by people I don't know.
The migration path I'm working on for myself is changing to Podman quadlets for rootless, more isolation between containers, and the benefits of management and updates via Systemd. So far my testing for that migration has been slow due to other projects. I'll probably get it rolling on Debian 13 soon.
