    @Jolly I saw a story today, can't remember where, making the case that possessing a nuclear arsenal by small(er) countries might actually be a good thing, because of MAD.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Cyberwar: I sometimes wonder whether Science Fiction predicted the dark web and all of these hackers and such living in their own cyber worlds and nations or if sci-fi influenced and inspired all of the same… [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F7f%2Fd1%2Fed%2F7fd1edc4fe92b9ced76e1f30ce90121c.gif&f=1&nofb=1]

    @kluurs I agree, it is amazing. I grew up poor, but one thing I remember my parents always telling me was to learn to live on 80% of what you make. Save at least 20%.

    It is a good idea. We need to up production as well and start shipping gas to Europe. No idea what infrastructure would be required, but if we could turn off their money spigot that would be serious pressure.

    @George-K said in Gas Bill: [image: 1645222165972-flx8szawyaejm8d.jpeg] I'm on the budget plan with Commonwealth Edison. I just got an email saying that my "budget" amount for my next bill is about 18% higher. Here's my usage for the last two years.

    Cuba has been working on a protein based vaccine, which has been shown to be actually pretty good. (Of course, it has not gone through the same "peer review" and data analyses at others.)
