Germany is legalising weed. You can have 30g in your pockets and 3 plants in your flat per person.
It's hard to restart after a pause - start/stop: jog a bit, stop and amble till you feel ready to jog or slow jog a bit more. Comfortable range will soon increase within weeks, if previously fit - muscles will remain largely conditioned for some weeks, particularly "White" slow-twitch endurance muscle, which takes longer to be digested than bulkier "Red" high load fast twitch.Speaking of bubbles, I contracted covid on a blood test to hospital and had to refrain from running (am a heartless bastard but even so didnt think it would be fair to give it to all the poor sods in the gym). Since then tried to start running again ( gained weight, and a tummy, the new bubble). And is it bloody difficult. It feels like suddenly running at altitude and not getting enough oxygen. And it was all going so well before. How is your slow jogging?
What would Wooshland look like? I might manage a Guerney concession stand.Well, that's the world we live in. If Mark Zuckerberg sells land in his metaverse, I would be tempted.
when you think about that, the Pound could not be exchanged for gold since Bretton Woods. The money you have in your bank account is just a number, it's no safer than a NFT held on some computer. Shares you hold at some brokers don't even have certificates. Your bank cards are also prime examples of the world we live in, even those are replaced by your phone.Frankly I wouldn't, crypto and other digital assets require steady stream of new investors with expendable capital to maintain their (hypothetical) value. Back in the real world it's as everyone knows unrelated to anything concrete that could be exchanged. And suspect stream of new investors may well run dry with increased mortgages, inflation, cost of living and decreased consumer confidence. Tesla shares has also halved in value (trying to sell £50k plus cars in a recession doesnt seem the most compelling business plan)
In extremis you're right, if we have a few more truss moments the fscf's £85k guarantee will fly out of the window and we'd all be better of clutching a banky of sw's finest parsley (before staggering down the road with the machete and home made musket and trying to stay in the shadows). And it's not as if one could do anything with inedible unburnable gold even if one could exchange it. Musk is probably right, it's all smoke and mirrors, but neurotic that i am I'd rather have a small farm in sicilly (where one could make home made goats cheese and grow tomatoes) than an NFTwhen you think about that, the Pound could not be exchanged for gold since Bretton Woods.

He does not seem to understand that trussonomics, brexit is was and always have been fundamentally, obviously wrong, flawed, which says more than one really wanted to know about his intellect. He also doesn't show any genuine remorse, responsibility for the massive harm he has caused (pretending it wasn't him, it was just flawed timing), which is, even by conservative standards, shamelessly unethical.It's making the news at the moment:
Kwarteng said that he had warned Ms Truss about going at a “breakneck speed” with economic measures after the mini-Budget.
“She said, ‘well, I’ve only got two years’ and I said, ‘you will have two months if you carry on like this’. And that is, I’m afraid, what happened.”
Kwarteng seems to think he's got the ability to read the future.
Can you believe Kwasi Kwarteng?
Not going to wade into UK politics ... But the Chancellor has a duty to stand up against a PM . It's why the rooms are next door. "It's not me Guv" , is not acceptable in the 2 Nd highest elected office.He does not seem to understand that trussonomics, brexit is was and always have been fundamentally, obviously wrong, flawed, which says more than one really wanted to know about his intellect.

I don't have a problem with Kwarteng saying that the mini budget wasn't his idea. It was probably Chris Philp's that Flecc knows well.Not going to wade into UK politics ...

This also serves to minimise perception of Truss's mistakes, strengthening the Tory's assertion that they're a financial competent party. We'll see a lot more blame deflection over the next two years.Surprise, surprise.
Huw Pill, chief economist at the BoE suggested that printing £450 bn in the two covid years is responsible for the rise in cost of living.

You know why top football teams have 2 top players for every position? They tell us its to have a reserve, incase of injury, fatigue or illness. That's BS. It's to make every player compete for their place, without a better replacement a player knows the manager has nochoice but to play her/him. Without competition the player can be lazy, cleverly shirk training and put in 85% performances.This also serves to minimise perception of Truss's mistakes, strengthening the Tory's assertion that they're a financial competent party.

I wouldn't bet on it Woosh...Starmer will be PM in 2024, don't you worry, Zlatan. He only has to avoid saying too much . The conservatives won't need any competition to lose the next election with internal fighting, those who love BJ against those who loath him.
