Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
Sorry. I have never been a backpacker. So, then...you are correct. I am out of touch with the backpacker diving circuit. I would head for the Virgin Islands, though....still. -

Old Hybrid - What to expect?
Thanks for the detailed explanations. I guess, the errors might be just a false positive. Several lights come on (see pictures) when the Toyota technician reset the system there supposedly no errors. But I'll ask again this time to make sure nothing else is faulty. -

Any Predictions for 2025 guys ?
You could well be right, the way things are going at present. But it is not ineluctable. A determined few with a clear vision of what is needed can change the course of history. The drone society was created in large measure by self-interested politicians who seek votes, while at the same time garnering the sponsorship of the rentier-capitalists (financial spoilers, not constructive builders). Such politicians are the antithesis of statesmen. One must try to distinguish those who seek to draw benefits from society while contributing nothing from those who contribute as best they can but who may need some support at times. As during inevitable economic downturns. E.g. when Winston Churchill, as Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1911, in Lloyd George's Cabinet, laid the foundations of retirement pensions and unemployment benefit, these were contributory benefits for the labouring classes, little able to organise such things for themselves. Contributions came from workers, employers, and government. Churchill was of course ostracised and vilified by his own class. And he would continue to be disdained long after by the Thatcherites and their asset-strippers. https://www.oxbridgenotes.co.uk/revision_notes/economics-university-of-cambridge-political-aspects-of-british-economics/samples/churchill-and-the-welfare-state-essay Economic cycles have always occured, way back in history. We are in a pickle right now because our governments think they can break the cycle. They are simply storing up much greater chaos and distress for when their efforts finally meet dismal failure. I suspect that moment may be near. One of the failures of vision of so-called socialist governments is a failure to appreciate that well-being requires a substantial measure of material wealth. Which is derived from productive work and commerce at all levels of society. It cannot be created by government edict. -

Slashing welfare': GOP eyes chopping $5 trillion to pay for Trump priorities — like tax cuts
He asked about: how much the U.S. contributes in aid to illegal immigrants, the U.N. and its many agencies, and international disaster relief, If you are not happy with it, I am sorry. Have a try by yourself.
