TIL that arabs had banned the export of unroasted coffee beans so that everyone would have to continue buying it from them but an Indian saint Budan smuggled 7 seeds in his beard risking capital punishment thereby starting the coffee production in India and ending arabian monopoly on it.

I have to say, I'm very proud of my fellow Brits for the epic resistance they put up against Covid tyranny. Prior to the scamdemic, I didn't think Brits had it in them to engage in mass civil disobedience, but the last three years have proven me wrong.
There's a reason the UK was the first country to drop all Covid restrictions... There were just too many of us who refused to go along with it all. It became unenforceable.
If countries like Australia and New Zealand had managed to muster up the same scale of mass non-compliance as the UK, there's no way things could have ever gotten as bad as they were allowed to get there...

Jet-powered truck
How to accelerate an old 1985 Peterbilt up to 600 km/h? That's right, to scrap the old engine and strap three turbines to it.
The result is the Shock Wave racing car, which is able to beat an airplane on the runway. It successfully does it for show, burning waste cars with fiery exhaust at the same time.
However, it needs about 454 liters of fuel for this very mile (1.6 km).

"I think we are going to witness the end of NATO sooner rather than later. The Europeans are already on the verge of surrender and they haven’t even started fighting Russia yet. What on Earth is Estonia or Austria going to do with regards to China, except possibly get wiped off the map?"

"If you are a power, that is not part of the “Heartland” than you need to do everything you can, to disrupt the cooperation off the “Heartland” countries. Otherwise, you would have no economic chance to participate on the “Heartland” as a sea power. You wouldn’t be able to disrupt the trade since it could be developed on land routes."

According to a report from the Associated Press, Google is stepping up its so called “prebunking” scheme, a way of stopping ‘misinformation’ before it spreads by indoctrinating people to disbelieve what tech big wigs consider to be ‘propaganda’.

Mammatus clouds are a very beautiful natural phenomenon that is associated with thunderstorms.
If you see such clouds - it is better to find shelter, as they are the harbingers of ball lightning
