When this settles down, I look forward to all of jail/iojail, Sylve, Bastille, Bhyve documenting this in a mutually consistent manner. As it stands, I have managed to completely knot my brain over the abstractions, what is happening. I

I like that this is a male posting, and I like that the subject of advertising related body dysmorphia (in its wider sense, not objectifying the OP) can be discussed as a gender neutral topic. Companies which use ordinary people in ordinary

I said nothing of the kind you imply. I know skilled workers who were based in Dubai but who expected to leave immediately their work (court transcription) ended and the same with expat Australians and Britons working in Singapore. The poin

Fab lines don't have high labour input costs. So, in principle I don't see why making chips in any western economy wouldn't work: Its pay money to ASML, train a small cohort, have a lot of stable concrete in the ground so sha

Surely this would show up in pre and post London smog rates of disease? Or into the future with high EV cities and a drop in PM2.5? One is reassessment of past mortality bills the other is future intergenerational epidemiology. The lead pet

People are making instruments in Tasmania from deep flooded lake bottom revovered Huon pine and other ancient wood. I'd be fascinated if this old wood, Virgin trees from hundreds of years ago, had the same kind of tonal range.
