British weather is not as bad as the stereotype, at least not in the southern half of the country.

Notably, it does not rain that much, and when it rains, it is a very light rain, which Brazilians from São Paulo or , at most, a "drizzle".

It feels like the weather forecasts are almost always worse than reality, maybe it is a way to not make people disappointed.

What there is relatively a lot of is wind, and fog. But the wind is generally warm and wet, it is very maritime.

Almost deep tech but possibly without labs:

The ruler of the 1950-2020 world by Dollar and nuke count.

Capable of evil like any other country, and somewhat merciless to its poor and overly egocentric, but not nearly as evil as any dictatorship.

Has the huge advantage of being one large country which speaks English.

Countries of the world have only two choices as of 2019: either rally behind the US and support democracy, or rally behind China and support dictatorship. The choice is up to you, voters. The more you deal with China, the more you lose your democracy and freedom. All dictatorships have no doubt that they must stick together.

And Americans, please stop that America Number 1 bullshit. Obviously everyone has to strive to be the best, so when you say it like that, it sounds like "even if at the expense of everyone else". The motto has to be "democracy number 1" or else you will scare off all allies. If all other countries sell out to China, you are fucked.

It hasn't achieved anything beyond the Schengen zone.

The first/only way Ciro could find was with ampy: stackoverflow.com/questions/74150782/how-to-run-a-micropython-host-script-file-on-the-raspbery-pi-pico-from-the-host/74150783#74150783 That just worked and it worked perfectly!

TODO: possible with rshell?
