That stupid bitch is destroying every technical hobby. Need to order components? Every line item in the invoice gets a 3€ fee. 10 cents worth of resistors now cost you 3.10€.... This adds up quick...
From today, customs duties apply to e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 entering the EU.
30 million Europeans work in retail; it's our our largest private-sector employer.
And the surge in low-value online imports has put our retailers at an unfair disadvantage.
Too many of these products also fail to meet EU safety standards, putting consumers at risk.
Today's change is about restoring fairness for European businesses and better protecting our consumers.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In March 2025, Ursula von der Leyen stated:
“Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers.”
Today she announced new customs duties on e-commerce parcels valued up to €150, arguing this will protect European retailers and consumers.

It was originally meant to be just a lined commission, but the commissioner enabled me to try out Rendered Lined piece! Thank you for boosting my confidence, ultimately finishing this creation! Thank you once more! :3

Comission to @CoilProtogen
Hello guys! I am back.
I'm going to show you some commissions that made these times abroad after Twitter's problems here in Brazil! This is difficult, but let's move on.
New commissions open this week! Get ready for news ;D

I've set up a simulation of a Rotman lens to drive a phased array in Elmer. The matching of the ports is poor, causing lots of internal reflections, resulting in unwanted side lobes and poor channel separation. Nonetheless I think it still demonstrates the principle nicely 😊

Any sufficiently advanced microwave passive phase-shifting network for phased array antennas is indistinguishable from chaos magick.
