Britain hasn't had much luck with ships or submarines recently. Does this laser work when the ship is at sea or is it only for when the ships are in dry dock being repaired?

I have invested with a policy of never investing in things I don't understand. I missed out on crypto. I read an excellent piece of advice years back when BTC was in single digits and that was to invest 5% of your savings in BTC. I didn't do it, and of course I could have made a vast amount of money.
BTC seems to be more established these days and I'm wondering what the folk on here think about investing 5% of my savings in BTC. It is money I can afford to lose. The thing that attracts me is the 'halving event' and the opening of an ETF in Hong Kong that Chinese will be able to invest in? My investment horizon is 10 to 20 years and I have earned 5.4% net over the past 25 years using buy and hold with Vanguard.
Any thoughts?

Yes this evil slaughter of innocent unarmed people by the self proclaimed best military in the world has to stop. I want to see the evil inhumane perpetrators of this in the IDF, along with the political leaders and IDF commanders in the dock for attempted genocide and mass starvation of innocent people. Palestinians are not subhuman.

Insofar as all institutions are corrupt, UNRWA is likely corrupt and maybe should be replaced with something more effective. It should certainly not be shut down because of the recent scurrilous evidence-free lies by Israel about UNWRA staff taking part in the massacre on October 7th.

I won't eat street food. I always ask myself where the folks selling them go to the toilet during the long afternoon and evening. I can't recall seeing any of them washing their hands when I go to a market and the 10 baht bathrooms are horribly dirty....so dirty I wouldn't take my dog to defecate there.

Please refer to data available from Wikipedia, data drawn from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
USA = 6.4 per 1000 inhabitants
Thailand = 4.8
More importantly, this data is not broken down by the relationship of perp to victim. Therefore, it's just a guess, but I would like to check more detailed data to know if in Thailand, the perp and victim are somehow related or known to other, more often. And, if in the US, the perp and victim are less likely to know each other.
Still, I mentioned Taiwan and Japan, and East Asia. In Japan, the rate is...
Japan = 0.2
Taiwan = ? (Cannot be included in the UN data since the Commie Bandits of the PRC have kicked out Taiwan from the UN.) But, almost as low as Japan, at least in the past decades.
So, this Data is Not Fantasy....maybe....
Thailand data are from 2009, US from 2022, and these are homicides not gun deaths.

Come to think of it, I do see Thais reading newspapers. But think if the average Thai read 2 hours every day, you would see Thai's reading on the train, on public transport and you would see Kindles for older folk. I have a suspicion that the report is hogwash.

The amount of creatine in your blood is used to determine your kidney health and Chronic Kidney Disease. I've got to assume that creatine places a load on the kidneys.
Get a Kidney Function Blood test including eGFR. If your kidneys are OK - go for it. If not - stop.- 3

You look pretty suspicious to me from your photo. I would have confiscated your phone and tortured you for looking so shady.

Make a new body/frame out of scrap hard wood. Not only serviceable but beautiful as well and much better than factory produced rubbish made from plastic or anodised aluminium.

Obviously you have never been to a book shop in Thailand. They lounge around in the isles reading books for free.
I go often to Kinokuniya in Siam Paragon. The coffee store is mobbed with people drinking coffee and eating desserts, and the aisles are completely free of customers.

Out of all the Thais I know, the only one I have seen reading is my wife.

Must have cost them $100 million in legal fees over 30 years.
Hopefully.
Unlike most folk on here I watch almost the entire trial. The result was nothing to do with racism or reverse racism and everything to do with a totally inept prosecutor (Marcia whatever) and a racist key witness (Furman).

That might have been me. And said ironically when I thought the IQ on the board was higher than it is.
