How many TWh crypto consumed? Would one be able to build Egyptian pyramids with this amount of energy?

Looks like Fortran programmers have been doing data-oriented design since forever.

The result is that world becomes more and more boring. No interesting discussion can take place. Environment becomes more toxic and it's mainly due to radicals who perceive everything as offensive and everybody who disagrees as "nazi" or "racist" or "-phobic".

Well, lettuce has not been inflated by FED (yet), why would stocks have been?

No, FED does not print money - bank reserves are not legal tender. If they had printed money, inflation would have skyrocket.

My only question is why banks agree to this deal: exchanging U.S. treasuries for bank reserves (which they only can use as a collateral for lending) ?

Aren't these results consistent with Netherland's findings (3% of blood donors had COVID-19 antibodies) ?

I do not understand the reason for butchering wild life animals (e.g. bats). Is it belief system (e.g. traditional Chinese medicine) or they are just hungry?

Best wishes to dr R.Davis and his team - great job! My uncle suffers from Guillaine-Barre Syndrom (GBS) (or rather A-CIDP, but that still needs to be determined). I'm trying to educate myself on GBS and research newest treatment methods, but most resources/articles are paywalled. That does not help.

Used to work with Rational Rhapsody. Big project with a lot of fancy state charts - that was nightmare. Visual programming does suck (unless it's Simulink).
