    When a reliable vaccine is available to all it's still going to take a long time to manufacture enough doses to make a dent. This time will be measured in years, not months.

    The Serum Institute of India is already starting to mass produce a couple of the Covid-19 vaccines so they will be available as soon as approved.

    So should I change the CB from 15 amp to 20 or 32 amp?  Or is the answer more complicated?

    It depends on the size of the wiring used.  It is not safe to just randomly change the breaker to a higher amperage.  It could cause the wiring to overheat and possibly start a fire.

  3. You can invest in bitcoin on the stock market.  The ticker is GBTC.  One share equals around 1,068th of a bitcoin.

     

    One thing to realize is that many altcoins are being developed for specific purposes.  They are better thought of as software programs using blockchain technology than currencies.  For example ADA is used to store contracts.  Like a contract between you and an insurance company.  Instead of when you want to file a claim and call the company have an adjuster come and investigate it and then wait and hope for a payment.  The ADA contract has conditions written in it.  When they occur you are automatically paid out.

    It saves the insurance companies money and benefits you too.  LINK is used to bring data from outside the blockchain and store it in the blockchain.  It is used by other tokens for this purpose.  EWT is used to record energy transactions.  ETC...

    Look for coins with a large total addressable market, how many people/companies can use it.

     

    I like Crypto Chico channel on youtube.

  4. As mentioned already when you get the red plates you should get a log book too.  Before any out of province trips fill it out (and as also mentioned they ask for you to use pencil,  So they can erase them later and keep reusing the same book I assume).  Normally you pay a deposit for the red plates and book and get it back once you return them.  

     

    When I had red plates I was stopped at about 5 checkpoints.  Only once did they ask about the book.  Showed it to them but they never actually looked at it.

     

    If you make a special request for plate numbers it can take a few months to get your plates.  You have to wait in line for your numbers to come up.

     

    There are other laws about red plates, such as not driving when dark, but they are pretty much ignored.

    What an interesting comment and uncanny you should mention it - quote from today's The Guardian (UK):_

     

    "Ecuador has sounded the alarm after its navy discovered a huge fishing fleet of mostly Chinese-flagged vessels some 200 miles from the Galápagos Islands, the archipelago which inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

    About 260 ships are currently in international waters just outside a 188-mile wide exclusive economic zone around the island, but their presence has already raised the prospect of serious damage to the delicate marine ecosystem"

    Holy Mackerel!!!
