Your inferences from this article are even more confused than your usual.
1) Intel's EU and US "initiatives" to seek subsidies are completely separate: the inference the US would even consider subsidizing a plant in the EU is lunacy.
2) both US and EU may view in-country major chip fabs and capacity as a strategic (military, economic) investment given global geo-politics (read: ascendency of China; danger of chip shortages). That's the big carrot Intel is trying to dangle.
I find the omission of any mention of Russia in the article: interesting.

The point I find most interesting is yet to be seen: will the EU find fine Intel, down the road, with some sort of anti-trust accusation as punishment (read that EU money-mining) for being more successful than their own companies?

Dordeduh - Descânt[^]
Dordeduh is a folk influenced black metal band from Romania.
The musicians come from another Romanian folk metal band, Negura Bunget, but I find Dordeduh is the better of the two.
Their (relative) hit single, Dojana, was just folk music with traditional instruments, no metal in sight.
So anyway, earlier this year I was wondering if Dordeduh would ever release a new album.
It was kind of a coincidence that I thought about them as I liked their previous (debut) album, but it's not a favorite or anything (except Dojana, which was also SOTW at the time).
And suddenly, they announced a new album.
So far they've released three new songs of the upcoming album and this is one of them.
Took a little getting used to, but it's pretty amazing.
Looking forward to the album (and hopefully they'll do a Dojana part 2 as well)

Ok, so that one took me by surprise because I totally misread your post (I kind of skimmed it), and I thought that Dordeduh was only doing folk music.
I just finished The Warning's Lunario concert (again) when you posted your SotW and was tossing up whether to listen to it now or later. Glad I played it.
For other SotW listeners, play it with Closed Captions on.

Verbing nouns weirds the language[^] "Nouning" verbs is just as distasteful if not more so.

To watch (a programme) ==> watch is a verb
An interesting "watch" ==> watch is a noun
The original meaning of watch in this context was a verb, therefore using it as a noun is a grammatical abomination.
Watch does have other meanings as a noun (e.g. keeping a close watch, the night watch), but in the general case I find myself agreeing with Rick.

Ok, but my post was intended to alert people to an interesting programme, but I see I've caught the eye of the grammar Nazis

And a salesman asked me "How do you think we keep the cars so shiny?"
I said "Polish?"
And he said "I'm sorry sir, jak myślisz, jak utrzymujemy samochody tak błyszczące?"

According to Do-No^H^H-Evil Translate, it's actually correct Polish!

... I booted GTA V Online, and went downstairs to the casino to spin the wheel - and won the Podium Car: an Übermacht Revolter, luxury 4-door sports sedan. I was expecting another damn baseball cap.
Nice. (My previous "best car" was a Issi - I'm pretty low level ...)
