and currency pressure from a stronger Israeli shekel against the dollar
Is the Shekel really stronger? Or is the dollar just going into the toilet? I'm seeing more and more international boycotts against Israel.

WTF are parents for these days?
Coddling their little cupcakes until they become worse than worthless. Same as it ever was in times of plenty. Unfortunately, it leads to suffering.

"Grundfos is a global leader in advanced pump and water solutions, renowned for its highly efficient, reliable, and sustainable pumping systems."
Yeah, what that means is that they are going to be the de facto choice for pumps for european DCs, and yet they are asking the EU to build fewer of them, which will mean less business for them. This doesn't mean what you think it means. Unlike in the USA, a lot of major European corporations are still run with sustainability in mind. They would like there to be a tomorrow for them to profit in.

It's likely not bought with tax money. The company has various means.
Sure, it's bought with money from drug trafficking.
I don't want the CIA doing that either.

The analogy is not quite right. Meta are not analogous to drug dealers. They are analogous to drug designers who tweak the formula to make it as addictive as possible, ignoring any harms.
They are both things, as they are both producing the product and delivering it to the end user, and they are collecting the revenues.

For example, what does "This is a book that you must on no account fail to miss" mean?
It means someone was being snarky, and if you can't parse it out, it also means you're not good at understanding English.

NiMH also doesn't eat shit immediately if you deep discharge it once and leave it that way for a few days, which is my favorite thing about it. A lot of chargers are too dumb to recharge deeply discharged cells, though. Of my three NiMH chargers, only one will do it. I love eneloop batteries, but the eneloop bundled charger is trash...

That's not an "or".
everything the CIA does is nefarious. Doing dastardly deeds on our behalf is their job.

In some ways, it feels like IBM buying Red Hat was as much about keeping anybody else from buying them (and changing them).
Yes, because IBM wanted to change them — from not violating the GPL, to violating the GPL. And that's exactly what they are doing by placing additional restrictions on the redistribution of sources delivered to customers.
