Basically all European countries, all but five (South)- East Asian ones, the majority of African one as well as Australia and a few more.
The downside: A fair share them for less than 24h, often only for 45min. Oh the joys of working in retrieval medicine.
For example I have been to Greece multiple times…but I have never even seen even the Akropolis from the ground.
Don’t get me wrong here,friend, the following is not a bit meant to be related to be connected to the current state of the US,but: This special kind of “force your Christianity onto others” stupidity is very much a thing the US is world leader on.
It’s actually not that easy. Parts of countries can be actually be part or not part of international agreements - Greenland for example is not part of the EU, Denmark as such is. Same goes for a lot,but not all, French oversea territories.
In terms of Greenland this is actually bad for Greenland in hindsight as the EU defence accords are more far reaching as the NATO accords which take precedence, though.
If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States.
Mailbox.org They could go all the way and become “cool and cloud” but decided not to.
Haix While their customer service is not what it used to be they are still more than decent to a point it hurts their sales.
With my last one I am not 100% convinced: Mikrotik. While their stuff I great and cheap for what it does, I also had one really lacking support experience with them (they forgot to pack the rack ears for a switch and neither the vendor nor they could somehow get me ones. Another premium partner of them helped me for free and since then will always get my business). But in total they are still the good guys I think.
To add a more recent example: The Serbians shot down a F-117 Nighthawk with a obsolete air defence system from the fifties. How? They knew the aircraft were coming, when (both due to spies), where (as they used the same routes) and that they had no anti radar escort.
You could go for Paracetamol/Acetaminophen. The lethal dose is quite low and in theory low enough someone could poison someone else with it. And once symptoms set in people’s livers are often beyond rescue and they die a very gruesome death unless we find a transplant organ in time.(And even then survival is not guaranteed)
And it’s relatively save to use in writing as it is coated/mixed with enough bittering agent these days that it actually wouldn’t work that well to secretly posing someone.
If you need something with a shorter timeframe Methanol is an option.
And of course there’s always Dihydrogen monoxide-everyone who has even had one drop of it will die eventually but the time range depends on the dose. With very high doses people die in minutes,with medium doses (this is actually sometimes used by inmates to kill themselves) they die within a day, with lower dose after decades, but some die mere days after they ingested the mere last drop of it. Nasty stuff and very available.
Yeah, actually some companies like IKEA which often are located “on the outskirts” even pay for lines from train stations to their shops - which are for public use and often it’s a mixed deal, like the company (or sometimes a few companies, sometimes even competitors) subsidies the line during business hours and the local government pays the remaining hours.
Sometimes this is mandated before business or factories can even open. That’s why a few suburban train stations in various German cities have company names (see Siemenswerke) or, more recently Tesla. (Who tried to get out of it,opened their line to late and then tried to claim it as a technical innovation)
Actually they kind of still do. Secusmart is very popular in most industrial nations for that and they are a division of Blackberry nowadays.
They are based on specialised Samsung devices afaik.
The other big alternative is iOS at the moment, they also offer highly secured MDM solutions but they are less trusted by non-US countries as they do not allow code review.
To be a pessimist here: This will be the end of signal. They will move in on the LLC and foundation soon citing national security reasons. Or they may have done so already but kept things under the rugs due to national security laws.
And to play a conspiracy theorist for once: Maybe that was the plan all along. We all know how much Elmo hates Signal.
And then he will be a dead Hopefully. Through Vanguard and Blackrock the Saudis and Qataris are said to have substantial investments in Tesla. And especially the former are not kind people when it comes to fraud to their disadvantage.
You can easily kill yourself with a water overdose (and it’s actually fairly common),so yes.
Nutmeg was already mentioned - high doses can easily kill someone, sadly even without hallucinations simply by killing off ones liver and dying an agonizing death a few days later. The same goes for cinnamon, but with a much lower dose.
There are a few more, but I don’t want to give people too many ideas.
To make it short: Yes, possible,but it’s mostly a very slow death over multiple days that fucks you up really bad and is a horrible way to go.
Huh? “Very south west”/“very north east” is not quite right. Füssen is very much in the middle of the south of Germany.
Black Forest is around 2,5-3h(max.)/5.5h by train from the Black Forest by car (trust me,I live there and have to travel to Füssen from time to time).
Berlin is another story, takes around 7.5h by car (and can be even faster by train, 6.5h is possible) from Füssen.
But it’s nowhere near impossible, or far. Especially as there are more than enough interesting destinations for a tourist in between: Munich, Nürnberg, maybe with a detour to Rothenburg.
I can understand your reservations against Neuschwanstein, I absolutely understand every tourist that wants to see it. It’s quite nice from afar and well, while it’s often fairly overcrowded it can be avoided if one chooses the right season and time. And it’s always quite a bummer for most people to not have seen it in a once in a lifetime trip.
And I have no idea how you come to the conclusion that the Middle Rhine valley (which is rather annoyingly to travel to) is closer - and while the German view on the Middle Rhine valley is quite romantic, it has lost its appeal for most oversea tourist nowadays. After having many clients who were,honestly, quite underwhelmed, I no longer recommend it for people with a short time to spend.
Anyway, OP, shoot me a message if you make it to the forest, always up for a beer.
