That specific BBC article is what I was talking about. It's not publicly available testimony, it's information gathering by the SK state about NK from defectors.
To all of those stories, they seem like strawmen. I've not heard anything that ridiculous. Just that NK is an authoritarian regime that rewards friends and family of the regime at the expense of the well being of the populace. Kinda like a red veneer over Saudi Arabia, similar system.
So why aren't you asking why the US is allowed to participate when they commit far worse atrocities?
I didn't even ask why NK isn't allowed to participate. Why are you giving me an argument I didn't make?
3rd link: The tone and channel name seems comedic at first glance, but I'll watch it and get back to you. Plenty of comedians doing real journalism these days anyway, so that shouldn't be a mark against him.
The people who manage to escape NK are a pretty good source. Also, 2 wrongs don't make a right. It's perfectly possible for both the US and NK to be in the wrong.
Do not buy a sphinx if you're allergic to cats. People who are allergic are generally allergic to the oil (sebum). Sphinxs are awful for people who are allergic.
If not bathed regularly, they'll cover your furniture in that oil too.
As I said, there's the occasional commenter that is trying to throw shit at the democratic party generally, but by and large the majority of comments are in favour of this, and if you click through to individual users it's not hard to find users that were hoping that Biden would drop out a week ago.
He will chicken out. He'll pull some excuse about unfair rules or a biased moderator that will be completely and utterly transparent to everyone except his base.
ANY of these accounts that were so relentless in their criticism of Biden and how he needed to step down because otherwise the Democrats would lose, being simply happy about this.
Really? I've seen plenty of posts like that. Stuff like "Donated to the democratic party to show this was necessary", "Finally, we can safely roast Trump for being old and senile", "I don't care who the replacement is, thank god he's out".
There are some shit-stirrers, but they seem to be the minority.

Yes. Security through obscurity is an illusion. ClamAV is a well known and high performance open source AV solution.
Edit: Here is the CWE entry on the topic in case anybody wants to read some more details as to how and why obscurity is not a valid approach to security.
To be fair, that's not what they said. They said reducing emissions is compatible with maintaining fossil fuel extraction, which is technically true. It's just really disengenuous.
Reducing fossil fuel usage while maintaining production means you're selling more, which means you're moving carbon emissions to another country's balance sheet.
Exactly what I wanted to say. All that talk of "perfection" makes me imagine them snapping and going full psycho because a train was cancelled and they need to book a different one.
To OP: just stop trying to plan that much. A general plan is good. Just be aware things will change and that's ok. As long as you two are having a good time, the rest really doesn't matter as much as you think it does.
If you want a little psychological trick to make the trip more memorable than it otherwise would be, whatever you think is going to be the most impressive, save it for last. Our memories have a very strong recency bias.
Me as a Romanian: heh. Yup, no post WW2 puppet government extracted our resources, no sirree bob. Totally benevolent soviet occupational forces who bestowed flowers, kisses and rainbows upon the populace.
It also tends to be people farthest away from what's going on. The most anti-Russian countries tend to be those geographically closest to Russia. Those on the border with them know what's at stake and why having military backing against Russian aggression is so important.
