Yes. Works for me. There will be always Pros and Cons.

- need to save manually and specify directory/file name

This may be also a PRO for me since I may be able to find it without using recoll. Also, how many websites do you need to save? I assume only a tiny fraction. If you want to save everything, recoll does offer this more or less out of the box:

"Indexing visited WEB pages with the Recoll Firefox extension"

This is another stand alone software that may do what you are looking for. https://getpolarized.io/2019/04/11/Polar-Initial-Crowdfundin...

You visit a website that you may find intersting. e.g. https://businessfinancing.co.uk/the-oldest-company-in-almost...

You have folders from a-z in your data directory.

You save the website in /data/o/oldestcompanies or into a deeper directory to your liking.

Let recoll take care of the rest.

"who can certify that the matches you are set up with are people with a track record of dealing honestly ("

Mate, good observation with the market of lemons. My thinking. Actually the same in the official job market.

But otherwise you are nuts. "All warfare is based on deception" [Sun Tzu] and "all is fair in love and war" [Proverb]. And, since all relationships sooner or later end in lies, why not start with it? [Lord of War]

Would you be so kind to give an overview over it (Brazil, both banks and brokers), incl. a recommendation? Thx

Yes. Banking is very cheap, you can get a free bank account. Transfers are cheap, EC card Payments is cheap for Merchants. What is there to complain about? Try to send money in the US... Send a check and scan it!

Based on my experience with HSBC and SC (from HK) I doubt that they are really outstanding. Revolut? Well, you can buy crypto. But the App is terrible.

Most critique here is basically about Apps not being good in EU/Germany. This may be the case but honestly I have zero interest in doing Banking via an app, except for transaction code generation (actually this was terrible at HSBC and SC). It is much more convenient to do this on my computer. If I want to use an app, it should be like WeChat or Alipay. But a banking App? I personally have no need for this.

All this seems really very biased.

I think Germany has instant transfers for a fee but I am not sure. There was never a need for it.

Czech has instant transfers already? Great. The CZ Bank I know charges 6 Euro per incomming EU Euro transaction.

"Banking in Germany will be much shittier"

Don't know mate. I don't know the UK banking system so well. But if I take HK experience with HSBC and SC and Newcomers in the UK like Revolut then I doubt your statement will make any sense.

"Look at the numbers, they are vastly different from what you claim. "

They are "vastly different" because most countries don't share their fair burden. Trump may be wrong in many things, here he is right.

In the PDF you provided "NATO guideline 2%" But hey, why spent it on the military? Let the US spent/fight for us.

I never said Ukraine is a Baltic state. Take out a map. Think about why the Baltic states can hardly be defended militarily. Think about what would be different if Ukraine were in the Nato (and a decent amount of Nato troops on the UA/RU border).

"No way the EU would let that slide." They EU has no ability in military things if the UK is out. The Nato would not let it slide but they also would not fight back to win it back. It would be cold war II.

Nato Membership is a contract.

Yes, Indeed. tanks are not the biggest problem. https://consortiumnews.com/2019/12/21/pepe-escobar-you-say-y...

PS: "Germany is only one of 19 NATO members that have not met the 2% GDP spending goal set at the 2014 NATO summit in Wales."

"If Germany would spend 2% of its GPP on military, then it would approach Russia in absolute numbers, That would be crazy."

It is her contractual obligation. Currently Germany does not have an Army anymore but a museum. How many tanks are operational? 100? Russia has 10.000...

Doubt it. It would trigger a cold war II but not a nuclear war.

The baltic states can not be defended militarily. If Ukraine were in the EU, would be a different thing.

Think what you want about the EU, but sometimes they have good initiatives.
