Anyone know any more about it? https://www.afio.com/publications/STOUT%20WWI%20Guide%202014%20July%2014%20FINAL.pdf The United Kingdom and France, among other World War I belligerents, underwent spy scares in the years before the war. For instance, in France it was widely believed that roadside advertising signs for the popular Kub brand bouillon cubes contained coded information from German spies that would be used by invading armies. Such fears only proliferated after the start of the war.

During World War I, a German spy was trying to spy on British naval actions by sitting in a houseboat that was flying the German flag. Another German spy was busted when he attempted to send his spy discoveries back to Germany in a completely open, unencrypted letter. He wasn't aware that British intelligence was screening letters and telegrams going to Central Power areas, and thus had never even considered using any kind of code. He was immediately arrested. A third German spy was busted when the Germans attempted to send a bunch of money and spy instructions to him but sent it to the wrong address, causing the Royal Mail to pay attention to the envelope, become suspicious and alert the authorities. Honestly, coded information on advertising signs seems to be about 10 levels above the Germans' spy efforts during World War I.

My anecdotal belt buying/wearing experience for the last 20 years has been getting one with few holes at the optimal range and ~10 cm extra space in the end to puncture new ones if needed.

If this is anything to go by, we've landed in the middle of a smear campaign by L’Action Française, a French far-right group who had an ax to grind with the parent company. The theory about why this worked is the Kub brand with that big K made it sound German, so they just built a multi-year fake news campaign that claimed the Bouillon Kub Company was a German company intent on overthrowing the French government. And sure, in reality it was a French/Swiss company headquartered in Paris, but in Paris on Rue d’Allemagne. Germany Street. Oooo, makes you think, doesn't it? There was a deep state component to all this, of course, and a massive dollop of antisemitism, because 1914 Europe.

At least Curtis isn't after her for her money. Since he's constantly mocking her for doing the things she likes to do, often able to afford to do them with great passion. ... Yeah, even if she liked him back, what's this relationship gonna end up at? Dangit Billingsly.

Luann It's Gunther. What do you think? So when Tiff was living with Gunther to avoid being roommates with Stef it made her a huge piece of poo poo. But Bets was like, "fine, I'll live with Stef, you big baby. It's not so bad. I can handle her." But it looks like she's been living with Gunther the whole time and hasn't even spent one day being roommates with Stef? Nice.
