It was also much more unusual to be in long-term debt as that often would have ended in serfdom-like situations. The ease of getting huge loans and credits nowadays is very novel.

Somewhat related: what have you found to be a good replacement for alcohol as a habit/relaxation device? I enjoy my evening wine, but I slowly realised I mainly crave flavour (sorry hydrohomies). I don't want to do the sugary drin

I don't think that misstates the lancet article, and i also think this information in the lancet article is useful. There is a long belief that e.g. red wine is good for the heart, or in many places there are some herb liquors that old

An interesting quirk of the EU is that anything done requires consensus of 27 countries. So you end up with either systems where everyone gets free reign to demand what they want, or some that implement commonly agreed standards. In this ca

The EU has tried to put one in place, and it is used for all EU funding programmes and by a number of national and local administrations in Europe, so probably tens of millions used per year. Not sure I like the format but its good it stres

That was a different context though, with ongoing civil war and strife and no foreign takeover but rather a local independence movement. And there is no point debating this here but your summary is very one sided.

This summary makes it sound like a protectionist measure but that is not the design. The issue is just the US overreach in that the US expects any company to provide any data it holds, even if that data is stored outside the US, owned by a

No, these are cell organs that also exist in simpler lifeforms, and they don't hold DNA. Key is that mitochondria have their own DNA and multiply independently of the host cell.
