Very interesting. I got this vaccine (needs to be taken twice) last year. Since then my back pain linked to possible beginning bechterews, which I have had for about a year, is gone and has stayed away for 2 months now. Could be unrelated,

This 20kg figure sounds wildly inaccurate. Fish feed is in general 75% plantbased. It is also very efficient (in terms of conversion rate to growth). Could this 20kg figure be decades old?

This is so cool, a nice push towards low cost repairs and de facto "right to repair" for hobbyists. The MX5 is also a cool and inexpensive test vehicle. Hope more models are added.

Over 20 years later, Guantanamo is still here. While most of the detainees are surely there for a reason, due process has not been observed. This will be a blemish on US history for a long time.

Different areas of the world have different trust levels. In northern Europe nobody would think twice about letting in the repairman, we trust each other. It is a great place to live.

This is my strategy. Global index funds. 7% is what you can expect. Inflation reduces the net yield. Research ways to avoid tax on stocks until you pay out to yourself, most countries have this in one form or another.
