>The postage stamp "Russian warship, f**k you...!" was issued by Ukrposhta in two denominations - for payment of postal items within Ukraine (denomination F, equivalent of 23 UAH) and for payment of postal items going abroad (denomination W, equivalent of $1,5 USD).
>
>An envelope "The first day" was issued to the stamp, circulation - 20 thousand copies.

>You can buy postage stamps "Russian warship, f**k you...!" in the post offices of Ukrposhta and in the philatelic online store.

It appears that the store is down or having issues, I got a https error and I have yet to have the page load. Looks like everyone wants them. -

>The latest APC Smart-UPS models are controlled through a cloud connection...
Why does everything need to be connected to the cloud?
The most I ever felt was needed was to connect it to a USB port so if during an outage the battery got below 20% it would shut off the server before it lost all power.
>Schneider Electric worked in collaboration with Armis to develop patches for the vulnerabilities, which were distributed to customers and are available on the Schneider Electric website.
So, cloud connected but no auto patching for this kind of thing?

More of typical election year "Look at what I did for you" stuff that is showing up where it shouldn't.
There is a history of this kind of thing. I know there are more examples but this is one I could find quickly.

>In 2004, Blagojevich had ordered the Illinois Tollway to erect 32 signs at a cost of $480,000, announcing "Open Road Tolling. Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor." In 2006, the signs were criticized for serving as campaign signs and costing significantly more than the common $200 signs.

>The signs should be gone by tomorrow. The cost of the removal is cheap compared to the cost to put them up: only $15,000.

>The new governor has asked that his name not be emblazoned on the replaced signs. -

Illinois is at it again...
Critics: Illinois Democrats' plan to force retailers to post 'tax relief' details is unconstitutional, election year propaganda Illinois | thecentersquare.com
https://nu.federati.net/url/285812
>(The Center Square) – Budget bills introduced by Illinois Democrats in the waning hours of session and that were passed early Saturday will require private-sector retailers to notify consumers of temporary "tax relief" measures included in them. Critics say the requirements are an unconstitutional violation of free speech rights and forced campaign propaganda during an election year.
>
>The budget will require gas stations to post stickers on pumps noting that an inflationary gas tax increase of about 2.2 cents a gallon that's scheduled to go into effect July 1 has been suspended for six months. Retailers that refuse will face a $500 daily fine. Election Day, when Gov. J.B. Pritzker and all state legislative seats are on the ballot, is Nov. 8. Retailers that refuse to post the stickers through Election Day face fines of more than $65,500.
>
>The stickers will say, “As of July 1, 2022, the State of Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump should reflect the suspension of the tax increase.” -

Not to mention the bridges...
ARTBA Bridge Report
https://artbabridgereport.org/
>There are 167.5 million daily crossings on 43,578 structurally deficient U.S. bridges in poor condition.
>1 out of 3 U.S. bridges need to be replaced or repaired, including 30 percent of bridges on the Interstate.
>At the current rate, it would take 30 years to fix all the nation's structurally deficient bridges. -
