It could either make the UK colder or wetter - might be worth getting heating oil ordered before prices go up or make sure your wood pile stays nice and dry?

'“In late autumn and early winter it historically promotes high pressure in the mid-Atlantic, which stops Atlantic weather systems from delivering mild air to the UK, and therefore can allow cold conditions to intensify. However, in late winter La Niña can drive a shift of the jet stream towards the Poles increasing storminess and heavy rainfall, while bringing milder conditions”. '

The lopsided nose cone is a worry - or is it an attempt at a parabolic nose cone?

'42% improvement' - sounds unbelievable... But, solar is generates Direct Current [DC] and many appliances convert Alternating Current [AC] to DC before using it.

'A growing share of our electrical appliances operate internally on DC power. This is true for computers and all other electronic gadgets, as well as for solid state lighting (LEDs), flat screen televisions, stereo equipment, microwave ovens, and an increasing amount of devices operated on DC motors with variable speed operation (fans, pumps, compressors, and traction systems). Within the next 20 years, we could see as much as 50% of the total loads in households being made up of DC consumption.'

One case of Covid has caused the partial closure of the world’s third-busiest container port, which is worsening congestion at other major Chinese ports, as ships divert away.

China can only keep the virus away for so long. And some are starting to doubt how good their home grown vaccines are... Maybe do you xmas shopping early if you want to buy anything made in China?

£1.87 million to bridge 2 weeks! That is a serious cash run rate.

"This Placing was required to bridge the financial requirements of the Company to the closing of the debt facility with NewGen which is expected by the end of August 2021"

From memory, ammonia has 3 times the energy density of liquid hydrogen. And, is less volatile. The money will / might be made in making and storing ammonia from renewable energy so it is available when the wind does not blow / the sun does not shine.

Will it be a super spreader event? Most of the CONservatives are maskless - the rest look like bandits?

MIT articles are always worth a read if they are in an area you are interested in.

That is where sentiment analysis and the Tecan Public Service announcements [aka Troajan's volume posts from CNBC] come into play. But blind gambling should only be done with beer money.

RMS - still dropping hard; when it bounces there might be quite a long way back up if those so badly stung think things are suddenly going to get better. To go from buying a mask making machine to promising millions 5 [or 10?] a month to giving up and returning the machine all within 10 months is quite an achievement.

They are even changing their ticker and name.

It is almost as though ocelot is reramping to average down [again?].

There does not seem to be much that is positive to post about other than the extreme rampers taking a break.

The link's byline is "Follow the Money" - it is clear that following the money here means Sell, and has done for quite a while.

Fish eyed backstabber is getting her job.

'And as recently as late June of this year, Trump boasted that the deal he’d made for the withdrawal made it impossible or Biden to reverse course — and explicitly predicted the collapse of the Afghan government as soon as the U.S. departed.

“I started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. Don’t we think? 21 years. They couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop,” Trump told a crowd in Ohio, and said of the then-current government that they “wouldn’t last — the only way they last is if we’re there.”'

I have some investments [such as this share] that have been made with the aim of benefitting from the 'Build Back Better' post-covid economy. Foundations specialist Van Elle released their accounts today, noting;

'We are currently experiencing some current supply chain challenges, particularly with regard to cement, concrete and steel pricing and availability.'

A good sign for demand for, and the margin of, Sigmaroc's products going forward.

Is there a leader in the G20 with as many children? Does any other G20 leader drink as much red wine?

TILS - I have been listening to a weekly podcast about Covid treatments being used in New York state. They want everybody at risk to be given monoclonal antibodies on the same day they receive diagnosis [currently intra-venous]. An effective nasal spray could be very valuable if effective against [all / many] variants.
