They launched successfully, but the end result wasn’t ideal. Looks like they managed to “land” back to the launch pad, or very close to it.

Weather is looking good at the moment, so they can probably go with the launch. The launch window opens at UTC 10:30, which is about an hour from now, and the live stream starts 20 minutes before launch.
They have tools that look like the Leatherman tools. Like this one. I have no idea how they compare, though.
Hopefully they can attempt launch this time, the previous two (Monday and today) were scrubbed due to weather. Tomorrow’s weather looks good, though, so they probably can. They expect an explosion, but they hope the flight last over 30 seconds before that happens.

That’s a good point. It has been possible to use bank transfers for some transactions, and apparently they are bringing that possibility for all transactions later this year, at least in Finland. That should leave those credit/debit card companies outside the loop.
The name is misleading. It’s just a one-man project to create a new Linux distro which has nothing to do with EU. Out of all the good European options, they chose to go with an American distro as their base. And to manage their project, they use an American Git provider.
There’s also Vipps MobilePay. MobilePay was created by Danish bank Danske Bank. They merged with Vipps to form Vipps MobilePay. It’s confusingly enough called MobilePay in Denmark and Finland, and Vipps in Norway and Sweden. It’s a mobile app you can use to send money between users and make payments in both online and brick and mortar stores that support it. I think it supports NFC payments in Norway and later this year in Finland.
I submitted it to the site.
The launch is scrubbed due to weather. They will try to figure a new launch window.
Finnish Fazer also has a vegan chocolate bar called Fazer Oat Choco. There’s also a hazelnut variation.
People are monitoring the launch over at https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=62618
And there’s a person attempting to live-stream the launch at https://www.twitch.tv/realairgel (stream will start just before launch)
Launch is supposed to happen about an hour from now.
Remedy Entertainment is Finnish. They have Alan Wake and Control game series.
Larian Studios is Belgian, they made Baldur’s Gate 3.
Good quality loose-leaf tea comes mainly from China, Taiwan and Japan. Bulk tea, like what goes into teabags, comes from India, and some other countries. There is some tea production in Europe, but last time I heard, those leaves tend to be expensive and not as good as Asian leaves. Blending and scenting can of course be done in Europe, but the raw ingredient comes from somewhere else.
And, yes, something like tisane would be a better word for the non-tea teas.
Tea Adventure’s Online Tea Shops list is a good tool, if you want to find tea sellers. You can use the text box in the upper right corner of the list to filter the shops. For example, write “europe” in it, and you get only European tea shops.
Santa Maria indeed is a Swedish company, and they are owned by a Finnish company.
E: This is probably the spice you mentioned. They ship worldwide.
Santa Maria is a Swedish company owned by Paulig, a Finnish company.

E: Added info that Santa Maria is Swedish.
E: Updated the Kindle for PC version. Also: Don’t use epubor.
DeDRM removes the DRM when a book is added to the library. It should show error, if it fails to remove it. But, it’s a good idea to convert files, as that makes sure there are no DRM protected files in your library (you can’t convert or open DRM protected files), and you need to convert them eventually anyway. I do recommend keeping the original file in case the conversion ends up creating somehow broken result. It’s easier to fix them by starting from the original and changing some settings, instead of trying to fix a poorly converted file.
The Amazon address for most Europeans is https://www.amazon.com/mycd. If you have bought your e-books from your “local” Amazon, just replace “com” with the correct letters (de, es, …).
Standard Ebooks provides better versions of public domain books, but their selection is more limited than Project Gutenberg’s.
Libby is used by many libraries around the world. The great thing about Libby is that many devices, such as some e-readers, supports it. So, you can check out e-books from your library, and they will appear on your e-ink device, or what ever device you want to read them on.
Another neat thing I recently discovered is, that libraries here in Finland use video streaming services. I can loan 4 movies per month and just watch them on my computer. No scratched DVDs needed. And library membership is free here in Finland.
One way to discover free video streaming services, such as possible library services, is to use JustWatch. It’s a free, European search engine that indexes the contents of video streaming services. For this, you will need an account, but it’s free. Once you are logged in, click the settings button (dude and cog) in the upper right corner, make sure your region is set correctly and select “Services”. Select “Free” and go through the list. You’ll need to search the internet for each of the services listed to find out what they are. This is how I discovered those library services.
You can probably find some local company that makes custom stickers. That sticker is probably custom-made.
