Needless to say for a truly independent Europe they are going to be a problem.

I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
