@NEMOEquipment loving the switchback mat, but... the carton packaging seems to weigh about as much as the mat? Could this be reduced?

@jd The Wire. A masterpiece in just about every way, and doesn’t glamorise organized crime. OTOH it’s Christmas 2020 so you might want to go for something lighter!

The popcorn gift that keeps on giving: “Unhappily, Covid-19 does not pay attention to theoretical notions of sovereignty or to national borders. Far from the best, Britain’s performance fighting the virus has been dismal, leaving it at the bottom of the league...”

Reaching for the popcorn...

A clever piece of research suggests that Covid May have emerged as early as August, although not evidence of cover up. But the Chinese government does itself no favours with blanket denials - why not acknowledge the possibility or refute with better data? https://t.co/wHmn7Xyiya
