Or you setup a Couchdb and the self hosted live sync plugin. Although the data will reside on a remote server in this case.
In fact, it did. Russia told, there was a broken turbine involved, but even after repairs didn't take it back. Later it said, the unfriendly behaviour (sanctions, because of the Ukraine invasion) was the cause of stopping gas delivery.

And if you have your 18th birthday, you might apply to discover EU. An EU lottery to give interrail passes to young adults for free.
Cheaper, when you are young and single. Get a family and pay for every member. Get older and see your rates increasing. Also the rates won't drop if you're a pensioner.

You need to know your future, as it's more or less a decision for life.

But the 42% is the max tax-rate. As the tax itself is increasing dynamically, you are paying less for the income before the limit. So the average tax for your income is usually lower. For example: A single will pay 42% for income above 60k, but the tax for the 60k income is more like 26%.

Looks nice, but I'm puzzled that for a scientific table the temperatures are given in Fahrenheit and Celsius instead of Kelvin. I understand, that it's easier for the non-scientific reader, but in this case it should be adjusted to the language as well. E.g. most non-english readers are probably not familiar with Fahrenheit.
Which explains how I can cheat sometimes... When I go to the lockscreen on my phone I can see the title of the video.
OTOH the drug Shkreli hiked the price at was already out of patent. So you can see the "free market" issues. Nobody cared about bringing competition as the price was too low.
