Cause Portugal is awesome.

This is true for brain health. Also if you have some other brain illness try Keto 30-50 carbs daily, it's a whole new life.


Simple carbs are your enemy.

Fat is your friend..you have to get 'lowfat' out of your vocabulary or it won't work. a+ if you have weight to lose, pounds melt off like magic.

"Anna Rosenberg, head of geopolitics at the Amundi Institute, said that the latest announcement from the Netherlands is “a big deal” for President Joe Biden.

“The U.S. has been trying to get the EU to side with its policies towards China for a while, and it has significantly more leverage with the EU now than prior to the [Ukraine] war, simply because the EU is now pretty much entirely dependent on its security on the U.S.,” she added."

True but grossly oversimplified connection of dots. This mostly cements the ongoing situation, the export of their most advanced lithography technology to China was already restricted since 2019 for the same reason. A magat could argue some credit goes to Trump but then it’s been demanded by the left here too for sometime already. ASML themself have major concerns about China copying their product and sells them only older generations. Just a month ago another chinese employee was caught relaying info to the ccp, it has (according to them) cost them hundreds of millions already.

Practically, this ‘news’ may not change a whole lot or affect ASML's revenue. It does send a message in several directions, the US, China, Japan (Nikon in same boat), but also the rest of the EU. Some EU members (those with a softer stance on China) are worried this might reflect on them and would rather appease China. A milk boycott would be great atm but the official response from the Chinese foreign ministry has been mild and no repercussions are expected. Never a straight answer but this part seemed almost desperate:

“NRC [dutchs newspaper]: I have a question also concerning ASML. There is also concern within the Netherlands itself that we will lose our competitive edge in semiconductor machine production if we sell these ASML machines, advanced chip production machines, to China. Do you understand this fear in Holland?

Mao Ning [china’s foreign minister]: If the Netherlands loses from normal trade with China, then it might need to think about why that is the case. Is it because a certain country [USA] uses trade issues as a tool and a weapon and has imposed a list of demands on the Netherlands?”

Yeah maybe. A list even. And maybe it turns out there is a price to pay for decades of knock-offs and IP theft after all.

Let's talk about Valentine's Day 2046 and asteroids...

I knew about its size it was the satire that counted. If that is an actual image, it looks solid though! The space force will deflect it and Trump will go down in history for saving the world, more irony than iron in that rock.

This is very true. Studies have shown caloric intake to be reduced by 360 per day or 1800 in five days and all you have to do is sniff!


Peppermint oil is also a very effective appetite suppressant, controlling cravings for sugar and other foods, and so helps curb overeating. A clinical study showed that inhaling peppermint oil every 2 hours is highly effective in reducing appetite and decreasing food cravings. As a result, participants were able to significantly reduce their calorie intake and support their weight loss goals.

seems ominously like a prelude to invasion....

This kind of behavior from a major auto maker concerns me. If they see reason to radically trim their workforce, it makes me wonder what those reasons are.

I asked a senior executive guy in charge of multiple countries if he liked trailer park Boys. Dude was Canadian and I couldn't think of anything else to say. He did in fact enjoy the show very much, was a good ice breaker.

Welp, that's my story.
