People took the Covid vaccine for many reasons not related to the advertised safety and efficacy of the drug. You were lucky to be in a position to notice the hysteria and act.

Can’t wait for Apple to make a Vision Pro headset for pets so every member of my oversized family (in quantity not physique) can enjoy the immersive augmented reality, instead of hanging out together in the sun and having fun.

Nothing to see here other than... Perth Mint, one of the largest processor of newly mined gold in the world and the only Gold mint in the world that has a government guarantee was allegedly caught diluting its bullion bars up to a value of at least $9 billion. Single source so far:

The $9 billion dirty secret of an Australian gold icon

In a bid to save money, the world's largest processor of newly mined gold started "doping" its bullion. Then its customers started asking questions.

Could be a controlled hit piece to disparage Gold as a SoV. [779.584]

While i have your attention may i present to you Priscilla the pineapple. Was harvested over the weekend in the back garden. Was planted from a crown (leafy top cut from a ripe pineapple) and took **3** fricken **years** to eventually get to this size and then ripen in the sun. Here she is beside an apple for size. Much respect to you farmers. Your low time preference is incredible. I thank you. [779.520]

My browser crashed and took with it a whole heap of open tabs, probably a months worth of "that looks like an interesting project to try out" and "didn't know these switches allowed this tool to do that" and, “i need to look at these YouTube tutorials later”.

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
