A tortie in my sink is exactly how I know summer has arrived

I don't know, who?

A colleague came back from the US with a big back of mini Hershey's flavours. Most were ok but I legitimately thought the standard plain flavour had spoilt.

I'm a brit and have loved tyrkisk peber and other "salty" liquorice etc. sweets for a long time. I had a big bag of the hot and sour flavour and was rather sad when I ran out.

I've tried moving to signal but at most I have about 3 friends that use it with me, it simply not possible to dump it completely and remain in contact with all my friends and family members.

Page 3 of the sun newspaper was the famous one for just having a topless women emblazoned on it

There's a Viz comic about that...

Fru T. Bunn – a "Master Baker" who makes his own sex dolls out of gingerbread and then attempts to have sex with them. Often he actually succeeds, only to be discovered in the last frame by his wife and daughter (Little Chelsea – ref to the Chelsea Bun)!!

Some think they can curry favour by thowing the bigots a bone. The 'LGB drop the T' group can fly under a radar for a bit by piling in on the most hated upon group but don't seem to realise that they will be squarely back in their sights once the job is done...

Works ok with revanced. Unfortunately a lot of content there just isnt yet available elsewhere.

 

British and family owned producer of rawhide and other non-marring and sparking hammers. I've got a bunch of their stuff that I like to use for leatherworking - a big heavy rawhide hammer and a couple of lighter replaceable-face mallets.

Really good quality, very reasonably priced and quick shipment (although shipping is a bit pricey to mainland Europe, there might be local stockists however). Never had an issue with any of their products.

E-commerce Platforms (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So this is kind of a bit meta I guess. I want to start selling (not just yet but in the near future) low volume crafted goods (obviously made in Europe). Initially very low volume stuff made in my spare time and testing the waters to see if it is a viable business.

I'm not a programmer and the additional overhead of making my own website, hosting it myself or having to deal with stuff like payment gateways and order placement doesn't appeal to me so I've been looking at dedicated e-commerce platforms or website hosts with e-commerce plugins/features such as Shopify, Big Cartel, Wix, Squarespace etc.

Big Cartel was my current leader but it appears they are based in the US. Shopify I think is Canadian but I've been put off by their recent actions, Squarespace is US and Wix is Israeli.

I know there is Flohmarkt and I do intend to get involved there if I can but I think things are a bit rough and unknown with it still and I don't want to put anyone off ordering things or making life hard for myself unnecessarily. I also much prefer the idea of having more of a personalised website-style store rather than just listings or classifieds such as with Etsy or Flohmarkt.

So are there any good European owned alternatives that people are aware of that have features that are comparable to the above?
