And investment. 1/5 of my lifetime economies are now in European aerospace and military companies shares. Something I would have never thought I would do, as a fundamentally anti militaristic person. I don't even care if I don't get any economic benefits out of it.

I guess with planets it always comes down to that funny one at some point

Spanish BQ manufacturer sold Ubuntu phones a while ago. I had one, and it felt great. Unfortunately the phone itself (the screen in particular) was pretty low quality, and the customer support not qualitative enough. Mine broke just by sitting in the couch with it in my pocket. That was a huge lost opportunity.

A little mental trickery you can use is to move to calculating how many hours have passed when you start thinking how many are left.

The brain is lazy, and creating extra effort will gradually make it avoid the original thought in the first place. It will also make you think about what you have managed to do, and the relax you have taken, instead of projecting into the things that are to come, that, since they are not already done, seem more tiresome.

This advice comes with 0 guarantee of success from a completely unreliable source. Take it with a grain of salt. In my case it works pretty well.

It is not proving a point, it is a simple matter of risk management. There will eventually be "normal" relationships, like the ones we have with Angola or the Dominican republic. The one we had been having was not "normal" it was based on an excess of trust, and there is not any more left.

I use names of bones for my different serves. I have metacarpus, clavicle, femur and coccyx.

I think in this case is more a "not enough is the friend of comptent". But you do you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Whatever. I don't think this suggested action is of any use, but quite the opposite, and in other circumstances I would not say anything about it. But what we are going through, in my opinion, is important enough to call it out. Sorry if it sounded condescending, but for once, I think it has to be said.

Too late. If not buying unnecessary shit they don't need from a particular retailer that could be replaced by any other during a previously delimited week seems revolutionary to them... I'm sorry but... They are a huge part of the problem.
