I meant it as a joke but I could imagine them getting one email from Germany about GDPR and then deciding to geoblock the whole country instead of complying (and ignoring the fact it applies elsewhere in Europe too).

Maybe they really couldn’t be bothered with writing an Impressum!

I quite like this one of the baby pulling the pensioners up hill.

Submerge them in brine for a few weeks. This creates an environment favouring lactic acid bacteria which will create pickling acid from the veggies that prevents mould.

You need to keep them submerged which you can do by putting a freezer bag full of brine on top.

It’ll release CO2 so if you don’t have airlocks you’ll need to seal the jars only loosely or burb them occasionally.
