Is this on a public repo yet? I'd love to take a peek at the code.

This is actually an expanded version of a previous post. There's still plenty of room for more expansion. Can add a bit, every year.

Czech unemployment rose to 4.8% in December, largely driven by seasonal factors, says Patrie’s chief economist Dominik Rusinko. The December increase aligns with expectations and points to a continued cooling of the labor market. #CzechRepublic #unemployment #FiatNews

Controversial author Erich von Däniken died a few days ago. The show 'Ancient Aliens' is based on his works. His theories are pretty wild but thinking that humans made the ancient wonders is maybe even wilder. If humanity suffers a great reset, how long it would take to build it right back? Would it take the same path or learn from experience?
Commentary (Jan 12, 2026): Inflation may fall further at the start of 2026 than previously expected. The projected decline is driven mainly by much lower electricity prices—reflecting both a drop in wholesale power costs and the cancellation of POZE—together with announced cuts to natural gas prices and likely modest decreases in food prices. The analysis points to these cost-side developments as the primary near-term downward pressure on headline inflation. It raises the question of what this will mean for interest rates but offers no definitive assessment of central bank action; policymakers will need to consider these moves alongside other economic indicators. #inflation #interestrates #energy #gas #FiatNews

The idea that any craziness can be justified by polling the majority is crazy. The majority is sometimes crazy. A pure democracy is a menace. Majority rule, unfettered by the rule of law and separation of powers, is tyranny. You know who has been voted into office? Hitler, Stalin, The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Kim Jong Il, Mao Zedung, Vladamir Putin, Nicolás Maduro No, being voted into office does not make your government legitimate. Sometimes, it just means you rigged the vote. Sometimes, it just means that most of your country's voters are literally retarded. One of the great ironies of democracy is that it doesn't prevent the voters from voting in someone who ends democracy. There are some votes cast, that are the final votes cast. image

Nobody can beat the USA in a hot war and Greenland is full of natural resources, beneath their ice sheet. Europe can crush Russia, but the USA? Nah. Negotiate and try to save face, is the best you can do. And then take independence from American companies, energy, and currency more seriously, ffs.
