Thanks, should have researched myself before creating yet another post for it.

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

Depends on what the tariffs are about. If there's a tariff on a specific category of finished consumer goods, an import of the materials/ parts in combination with a local assembly might indeed reduce or avoid the taxes you have to pay.

Not to forget these crazy machines that'll give you free money if you smash in one of those weird plastic thingys from your purse. Absolutely bonkers!

I'm not really sure what use 4,000 liters of water would be when somebody is having a stroke.

They send a firetruck if someone is having a stroke? Isn't there a dedicated ambulance for such cases? A ladder truck might make sense to get patients out of a big building but other than that that? Or do they have just one single vehicle that they use for all purposes?

I agree that the US have way too many way too big trucks but this...

Ambulances and firetrucks in Europe and Asia are smaller than most american pickup trucks.

... is just wrong. I live in Germany and even small villages with only volunteer firefighters have full blown trucks way above 10 tons.

Most fire departments have something like this:

MAN TGM 18.330 Tank with 4,000 litres of water 18 tons total weight

More specialized departments close to industrial facilities, airports can be also much bigger. This one is currently the biggest weighting 52 tons.

So your alternative would be that ambulances should no longer use cars? From my perspective all kind of emergency services such as fire department, law enforcement, ambulances should be the very last cars we get rid of as a society. They have to be fast and they need to transport a lot of stuff and people.

Should have made it more challenging

I wanted to use the heart-shaped walnut picture to cheer him up. Share some love when you nut your bros. <3

These nuts are indeed not really popular but I found them in a regular supermarket in Germany a couple of years ago. As someone mentioned they're typically almost impossible to crack, so each nut already had a small canal sawed into the side and the box came with a metal lever that exactly fits into said canal. With that preparation it was quite easy to open them.

You can also buy them online prepared that way. E.g. here: https://mypilinut.com/de/products/noix-de-pili-en-coque-seau-xxl-2900g (I don't know this shop, it was just the first result on Google, so no clue if it's a fair price).
