The entry of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) into its operational phase in 2026 marks a paradigm shift for the European industrial landscape. As the Union targets 10% domestic extraction, 40% processing, and 25% recycling of its strategic minerals by 2030, the continent is moving from strategic intent to industrial execution.

Features: period tracking, symptom logging, predictions (ovulation, fertile window), statistics, CSV/JSON export, dark mode, Russian and English. Just pushed v0.2.5. Looking for feedback from real users.

Today’s game is some more Pokemon Emerald. I’ve been working on the Pokédex the last few days. And when I say working on it I mean really working on it. I’m trying to assemble a living Dex which is my main goal. It’s an interesting challenge, since I sometimes have to catch double. The roaming legendaries have been fun too.
