Write a thought about the day of remembrance:
My dad can't go to work
My dad can't take the bus
My dad can't go to the barber
My dad can't take my sister to kindergarten
My dad can't go into the shops
I honestly believe that having a remembrance day is useless
NATO Could Invoke Article 5 In Response To Space Attacks
Article 5 of the alliance's founding treaty, which states that "an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all", could also be expanded to cover attacks from space.
If triggered, Article 5 allows such actions as NATO deems necessary, and has only been activated once, in response to the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington, on 11 September 2001.
CNN In Meltdown Mode Over Biden-Ukraine Phone Call Fiasco
CNN journos doing damage control after the network's Natasha Bertrand panicked and deleted tweets containing harsh comments reportedly made by President Biden to Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky - namely that a Russian invasion was "imminent," that the Capital city of Kyiv could be "sacked," and to "prepare for impact."
Now - none of that apparently happened according to CNN's Jim Sciutto, the White House, and apparently Ukraine itself. Of note, CNN claims their source was a "senior Ukrainian official."
But it remains that two conflicting narratives have emerged, given just prior to the call it was being reported that Zelensky was expected to request that the US be more cautious in its messaging surrounding a potential Russian attack, per source--particularly the word "imminent," as it risks causing panic and negative economic consequences for Ukraine. That was also according to CNN.

True all that and even more so: why buy an electric car in a temperate climate? To look good? Green? Status?
It sure is not for reasons of performance.
They don't heat themselves well, because, there is a lack of 'waste heat' as is a byproduct of higher temperature engines, such as an internal combustion engine, among others. I am sure there are also electric engines that generate a lot of heat too, but they are probably larger than you would want to put in something the size of a car?
Also, the range currently sucks for travel in areas between cities, and for a lot of commuting.
Regardless, electric cars will always be a niche market, for warmer, and more solar friendly areas and urban areas with short travel times first, and the rest of the planet as geography / reality allows, to follow.

There was a WH petition about a year ago requesting that XRP's status be changed from a security to currency. There's speculation in the XRP community that XRP will replace the dollar as the world reserve currency. For those who aren't aware, the CEO of Ripple is a partner to the WEF and promoter of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
American Banker:
According to the SEC, Ripple executives have sold 14.6 billion units of XRP for more than $1.38 billion to fund the company’s operations and acquire personal wealth without registering their offers and sales of XRP with the SEC. Those actions have broken several securities laws, the complaint says. The SEC seeks to permanently ban Ripple and its leaders from selling unregistered XRP, make defendants "disgorge all ill-gotten gains" from the transactions and impose unspecified civil money penalties.
The capital markets division of Royal Bank of Canada, a former Ripple partner, enthusiastically endorsed Ripple and XRP in a 2018 report called “Imagine 2025.“
You can now store Ripple and Bitcoin in a creepy microchip implant that’s been compared to ‘the mark of the beast’
A Danish firm called BiChip has just released an update for its microchip implant which means it can use Ripple – one of the hottest virtual currencies right now.
This means you’ll be able to store your virtual cash stash under your skin by getting a chip installed in your hand. The chip uses Ripple’s own payment system, which means it doesn’t need to be connected to the owner’s bank account.
