So, just wondering: what is a decent European alternative for payment handling like #Stripe? (It must support both single payments and monthly subscriptions.)

I've been out of the loop and I am sure there are people with experience here.

Preferably one with a matured API (and a Python library would be a nice bonus).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Signed up for Community Supported Agriculture produce farm share for another season.

The technical improvements to the process are impressive. Ten years ago, it was you get what you get, once a week, big or small share, bring your own bag. For the past few, it's been weekly or biweekly, S,M,L, user preferences saved, notifications two days out to adjust your share among what is available, an online calendar to skip or reschedule, veggies bagged up in compostable plastic with your personalized label stickered on. All with a mobile friendly web portal that seems built for many farms the same way a few carry out platforms service every small restaurant in your neighborhood.

If you got turned off dealing with a CSA years ago, it's a really good time to try again. #shoplocal #eatlocal

“It’s not just Indie bookshops though. It’s all our small local businesses. The cost of convenience, of next day delivery and maybe a saving of a few € simply isn’t worth it. We will lose ourselves. A lot of shops and businesses shuttered in towns and villages in Ireland already.” - Fiona Doris

RTE.ie · Why supporting indie Irish bookshops matters in the age of AmazonThe message was stark but indisputable. "Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon.ie, both online and in the high street," said Kenny's bookshop on Instagram.

You know you can tax the rich right now, right? Just shift where you spend your money.

Support your local coffee shop instead of a big chain. Shop at farmers' markets. Eat at local restaurants. Buy from mom-and-pop stores. Choose independent brands over corporate giants.

Yes, it might cost a little more, but you're redirecting money away from corporations that thrive on low wages and putting it straight into your community—where it can grow, support jobs, and build something better.

You are effectively taxing the rich.

Just had the loveliest experience while getting my watch strap resized at Silver Phoenix in Bray. They’re a tiny, independent two-person jewellers – Martin and Joleta – and they took such care (Martin resized it three times and did a micro-adjustment and then undid it until we found the perfect fit).

In a world of faceless corporations you forget sometimes how lovely people can be.

So if you’re looking for jewellery, a watch, wallet or pen (or repairs/sizing/etc.), give them a shout and support a tiny local business that’s been going for five years now.

Guess the seedlings
Hints:
Those little things are rare and in very high demand
This is the second year I'm growing this plant
People came from Red deer to Edmonton to buy it last year
The name of the plant starts and ends with the letter E
