It's weird, because there's inarguably been a 'vibe shift' away from the more authoritarian side of progressive ideas and politics, and for a while it seemed the backlash was unstoppable and far-right. I hope we are starting to see a 'vibe shift' away from the extremes of the right, too. It can't be healthy for a society to swing from one extreme to the other. I suppose social media, and the difficulty with communicating nuance on such platforms is partly, maybe wholly, to blame.

Would it help to have electronics, phone included, in your checked baggage?

If not, then people might have to consider smuggling their phone through in a brick of coke. Or put it in a condom and swallow it.

Komoot might work for you? German, I believe?

Ah. I follow now. Sorry I didn't realise you had linked to google translate in the post.

There's a DeepL browser extension for that.

Try DeepL. It's the superior translation app, as far as I'm concerned. Based in the EU, I believe.

The nature and scenery in the US is honestly stunning, and you're lucky to have the NPS to make all of it so accessible.

In saying that though; there is natural beauty everywhere you look in the world and it's very easy, and often cheaper to go elsewhere.

I wonder if there's a way to block AWS? I've no idea how these things work, but surely there's some sort of signature that is readable and therefore blockable?

It's the worst. Avoiding Pepsi, Coke, Nestlé seems impossible sometimes. I had to give up the masala chips that I like because it turns out they're a Pepsi front. Why are they allowed to just buy up everything?

It does seem like all the hoohah about how great the US Constitution is, or the genuis of the US founders may well have just been some good marketing mixed with a reliable dash of American Exceptionalism.
