I think we're discussing semantics there. Coal use fell, coal and gas combined fell, but gas alone has risen. Which goes against predictions that coal would replace nuclear, that somehow some people claim have come true when there is o

No. Banks have the problem that they can’t liquidate assets fast enough to pay people in a bank run. Stablecoins simply don’t have enough assets to pay out people.

As far as I know: The virus dries out and becomes non-infective when it’s in too small droplets. The droplets are larger than the gas particles of smoke that you smell. Masks also filter some of the larger particles of smoke.
