    One of the things that&#39;s strange about the USA when you walk around as a European, is how often you see the national flag. But I&#39;m starting to think that maybe the Swiss can go toe to toe with the Americans. The flag is everywhere, including on every product you can buy in the supermarket. Swiss! Swiss-made! Made in Switzerland! Not from one of those other countries, thank god! Why are they in particular so nationalistic? 🤔

    It&amp;#39;s hard to overstate how much better OpenStreetMap is than Google Maps, especially when it comes to walking/hiking. It&amp;#39;s the difference between the unusable and the nearly perfect. (Showing Google Maps app and Organic Maps app.)

    I don&amp;#39;t want much. I just want us to treat every human being as valuable.
