Pangolins actually - they carried a strain of the virus that had the ability to infect human cells via ACE2 receptor.

The bat variant did not have that - wet market - close proximity - a fortuitous gene swap and hey presto.

We have a vigilant free press reporting on scandals and a court system which holds the govt fully accountable.

I see far more corruption evident in the US right now with Trump and his family and their crypto investments and dodgy govt deals - perhaps the Economist should do an article.

People being pardoned by paying for it.

It is inevitable that NI will join the Irish Republic in some manner as a special devolved state, but it will happen naturally as the demographics shift from the Unionist to the Republican side as per voting and the younger generations identifying as unionist will care less about the parades and bonfires and far more pressing things like economy and opportunities in Ireland and EU.

Nobody wants to go back to the "troubles" except for the hardcore old timers who are slowly dying out on both sides.

One daughter was on the spectrum and could not deal with high school - we tried finding her an alternative school but they are scarce and too far away - we enrolled her in a home-schooling program with certification and gateway to school leaving certificate but had her go in daily to a tutoring center to work at her own pace but a tutor checking if she is on track.

Kids will goof off if you don't check on them and parents make for terrible teachers - seen so many admiring the lesson materials when it arrives and start with gusto with mom taking more off days and eventually it all fizzles out and the kids end up without a school leaving certificate.

I am not watching the cartel or ISIS ones - they are staged and frankly rather disturbing to me.

I saw one with an aftermath of a HIMARS strike with anti-personal warheads (ball bearings) on a Russian drone training camp in a forest, the heaps of bodies did not bother me at all - was more wondering about the trees and how above a certain height there were no branches or leaves.

On a visceral level I understand the why of the killing from the Ukrainian side - it is morally just.

I have always wondered how the Ukrainian FPV drone operators cope - some of footage is pretty gruesome - esp when the drone chases some hapless Russian running away before zeroing in and then blowing him up.

Some even shows double tap mortar rounds being dropped on Russians and then gravely wounded they drop another one to finish them off.

Good times - we will not mention the short lived single core Core Solo used in the Macbook Air.

A show army - the monarchy don't trust an army of rural peasants - they might get ideas and stage a coup.
