Ah the UK and EU are inexorably intertwined. Don't stress too much. We're still best buds.

Europe has been fucking pumping money into Ukraine. Now we need to start pumping arms in. It is ludicrous to imagine that this hasn't been prepared for. The only question is whether our arms production capacity will be enough or ramp up quickly enough.

Financially absolutely. We do not have the military industrial complex to replace the armaments that the US has been providing however.

I'm sure Ukraine has been preparing for this eventually but I really fear for them and the medium term consequences for us all if Putin gets his way in this war. :(

Jesus Christ that last thought hadn't even entered my head. I can't see Poland or the Baltics putting up with that though.

FML.

And don't forget his impeachment over Ukraine too. He is going to fuck them hard. I really hope Europe can pick up the slack on arms production quickly.

I'm gonna grasp at that being positive. My favourite band at a ripe old age, Sylvan Esso, are from NC.

How Europe would vote [in the US elections] in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Honestly surprised that 16% of Irish voters would go trump but 84% Harris is pretty solid.

I think you hold the record so far!

Edit: also fair play to you for sticking it out.

Me: Ireland - Approximately 2 minutes until poll in hand is the longest.

I've been seeing long lines for the US elections even for early voting. Seems completely unnecessary.

Anyone ever buffed out small eyeglass scratches? What did you use and how did it go? (lemmy.world)

Mine have built a decent number of very small scratches and they're getting annoying so I'd like to get rid if at all possible.

I've seen various things suggested including:

lens scratch repair kit (reviews don't look great on amazon)
baking soda paste
non-abrasive toothpaste
furniture polish (temporarily fills in the scratch from what I can tell)

I'm reluctant to try any of them without some first hand accounts. No lens coating on these so no worries there.

Thank you in advance!

edit: I just want to say thanks very much to everyone. I ended up getting my prescription emailed to me and buying a new pair for €17 (about $19 USD) delivered on a site that one helpful poster linked. Looks like they will take about 3 weeks to get here so I'll put up with the scratchy ones until they get here.

When they do arrive I will take some pictures and test the various methods I found online then post up what works and what wrecks the lenses.

Ireland to ban disposable vapes (www.rte.ie)

The sale of disposable vapes is set to be banned under proposals going to Cabinet.

The Minister for Health is expected to get Government approval to draft these laws which will ban the sale, manufacture or import of single-use or disposable vapes in Ireland.

Stephen Donnelly plans to introduce this ban on environmental and public health grounds.
