I wonder if urabn camouflage is appropriate attire for search and rescue services? Like, what if you (the searcher) get stuck, and no-one can find you 🤔

Is there any actual hard evidence of this? Or is it all anecdotal?

You can’t be proved wrong. Noone can ever prove that someone never existed, but you can prove that someone did exist. If you have such proof for the existance for jesus, please share it.

Thing is, as with DNA, the whole fingerprint is not examined, just certain reference points. The chances of 10 points in a particular print matching another random person’s are much much greater than the whole fingerprint.

Yet we’re training undercover spies to ferret out benefits fraudsters.

Cool! That’ll save us about 20k a year after we pay wages and administration costs. Then we can do the same for the tax fraudsters and evaders, right?

Crypto - try to remember before crypto, the idea of cashless was non-existent. Want to make international transfers? Pay up the ass in fees and at rates they choose. Crypto forced companies to do better with digital currency.

That may be true in the USA, but in the UK we had cashless payment (chip and pin) well before any crypto, and sending money abroad has always been cheap and easy.
