Call me a traditionalist, but I think there's only one way to have a true, consensual war.

You need the agreement of the US, the country the US wants to fight, _and_ the agreement of the Dole fruit company after they suspiciously buy up a lot of agricultural land in the area that the US wants to invade.

"Palette cleanser" is turpentine, or maybe acetone. Depends on the paint.

"Pallet cleanser" is nothing, nobody cares if shipping material gets dirty.

"Palate cleanser" is probably what you meant to say.

Incidentally, if you’re not paying attention to the EU’s Cyber Resillience Act, it seems to require publishing threat models (as of the effective dates). Specifically, Article 13 states:

“3. The cybersecurity risk assessment shall be documented and updated as appropriate during a support period to be determined in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article. That cybersecurity risk assessment shall comprise at least an analysis of cybersecurity risks based on the intended purpose and reasonably foreseeable use, as well as the conditions of use, of the product with digital elements, such as the operational environment or the assets to be protected, taking into account the length of time the product is expected to be in use. The cybersecurity risk assessment shall indicate whether and, if so in what manner, the security requirements set out in Part I, point (2), of Annex I are applicable to the relevant product with digital elements and how those requirements are implemented as informed by the cybersecurity risk assessment...
4. When placing a product with digital elements on the market, the manufacturer shall include the cybersecurity risk assessment referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article in the technical documentation required pursuant to Article 31 and Annex VII.”

Futher, Annex 7, Part 2(a) specifies that:

“The technical documentation referred to in Article 31 shall contain at least the following information, as applicable to the relevant product with digital elements: ... 2. a description of the design... including: necessary information on the design and development of the product with digital elements, including, where applicable, drawings and schemes and a description of the system architecture explaining how software components build on or feed into each other and integrate into the overall processing...”
