Get some William Lennon boots. Super durable and made in UK and cheaper than most big brand boots.
Probably have to send them back to the UK to be resoled because they use old school wire welts, but it’ll be years until you need to do that.
6 month lead time though.

Not to mention the transport cost, and the usefulness of gravel as fill material on major building and infrastructure projects.
Did some Google searching myself:
The JWT stands for Jönköping Westra Tändstickfabrik, one of the major matchstick factories in Sweden before they consolidated into the Zyn company.
https://thoresmatches.se/tandsticksfabriker/jonkopings_westra_tandsticksfabrik.htm
You can see in the matchbox pixtures in the page above, that they did use the term “impregnerade” to refer to their chemical treatment on the matchsticks.
This article says that the impregnation treatment was beneficial because it made matches blow out quickly without smoldering:

This post on the SomethingAwful forums seems to show an original photo of the match boxes, posted by someone with a Swedish username.

These matches don’t seem to be recorded in many museums, so probably either a modern gag, a period knock-off, or genuinely a Swedish person who didn’t realize that impregnerade had a double meaning in English.
There is a matchstick museum in Jönköping, Sweden that could probably answer.
What happens to pressure waves above that? The air liquifies or plasmafies?

Twisting a hateful antisemitic meme to make fun of its tropes is probably a bit of sensitive topic right now.
it’s a reflection of 1960s ubiquitous car culture, to Americans in the 1960’s, automobiles were thought as the only practical form of transportation

Patience and nuance is a rare virtue in 2025
Yeah thats definitely fair. Accessibility is important. It is unfortunate though that AI companies abuse accessibility and organization tags to train their LLMs.
See how Stable Diffusion porn uses danbooru tags, and situations like this:

Decentralized media based communities have the rare ability to be able to hide their data from scraping.
Meanwhile, we have people making the web worse by not linking to source & giving us images of text instead of proper, accessible, searchable, failure tolerant text.

I dont know anybody who lives in rural areas who needs more than 200 miles of range, and I know many who daily drive EVs. 1 hour to work would be fine driving an EV. Going to the next town over would be fine driving an EV. A long road trip to the city would require fast charging, but there’s plenty of those.
get foreign aid from the EU?
Yeah definitely, the US system is very dysfunctional. A good amount of money simply gets lost in the bureaucracy.
Insurance companies are massive conglomerates that have to negotiate deals with tens of thousands of providers, millions of products, and millions of customers. Every Healthcare provider needs dedicated bureaucrats that can navigate the sea of paperwork. I don’t have the data in front of me, but I believe the US government pays about the same amount of money on healthcare as the Swedish government.
Any difference between what a Swede pays and what an American pays is just pure waste. A wasteland of pointless jobs.
There’s definitely some fuskbolag and dysfunctionalities in the Swedish system, but for the most part, Swedes are not wasting money keeping dozens of massive office towers filled with bureaucrats, and Swedes have a happier life because of it.
With regards to salary, all Americans already pay 4% off their paycheck for Medicare. So Swedes don’t have lower salaries because of vård välfärd - at least not directly. But that’s a complicated discussion, and we’re already seeing American salaries fall drastically due to geopolitical factors. There is some aspect of the US having a monopoly on cloud services, where many top European tech works have been bought up and poached by Silicon Valley. There is also the risk of the American economy overinvesting into AI companies, with hundreds of billions of dollars already spent, and further trillions planned.
Yeah, it’s something that people don’t really think about.
För klarhet, fackordet för skatten är arbetsgivareskatt. “tax planning” är skatteväxling. “out of pocket maximum” och “coinsurance” är engelsk fackord för högkostnadsskydd.
