The UK is #6 globally in terms of GDP, and at least where I live in the south east there are Teslas everywhere I look.

I think this says more about the problem with averages.


GDP isn’t a great measure here.

For example, while it’s #6 by GDP it’s #21 by GDP per capita.

The wealth is also very unevenly distributed, 1/7 are skipping meals due to poverty: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cost-of-livi...


That's London and wider area, rest of UK is on same level like Eastern Europe.

Here is the map based on Eurostat data. Notice that richest area and almost all poorest areas are in UK

I've been fortunate enough to own both Subarus (Imprezas) and Porsches in my time. As another commenter mentioned, I purposely bought these to "hoon around in".

I didn't have a crash but I wonder if this was more down to luck than better judgement/driving skills. I'm older now, have kids and a better grasp of statistics. I drive a lot slower and considerately these days.

With all the AI fuss, I personally don't think it'll be long before cars are, if not driving themselves, will only allow themselves to be driven within the bounds of sense. Cars like this, and the drivers, will be confined to the race track and the "Porsche Experience Centre" at Silverstone, as per the article. I don't think this is a bad thing.


I’m by no means an expert but could raising rates increase the strength of the pound, which could have a deflationary affect on import prices, including energy?


Not if everyone else is increasing interest rates as well, which they are. It mitigates the pound losing relative strength though.

I'm half-way through reading this at the moment and I cannot recommend it highly enough. In the prologue he talks of being able to turn to any page and find something interesting to read. He's not wrong.


This reminds me of the Hawthorne effect

> I have an idea, but it's pretty hard to test

I'd be intrigued to hear more about your theory


Neuroquant imaging filters for MRI are supposed to detect changes like this, but are quite expensive and not readily available. The pediatricians shrugged their shoulders. Functional medicine doctors would be more willing to pursue this approach (they like data). The trick is finding the root cause of the swelling, which is usually an immune response to a protein it does not like and wants to isolate. I am unaware of other locations in my son's body that become inflamed by Annatto, his stutter was/is the first notable symptom.

Is it the Annatto itself that collected in my son's brain/frontal lobe and triggered inflammation? A brain scan at that time would probably help shed light.

Was something else there that Annatto reacted with/killed and my son's system inflamed due to the residual proteins (it's used as an anti-parasitic in native cultures - and yes, herbs can cause a die off as most lyme+ patients have demonstrated repeatedly - and I will get forehead pressure from a die-off, my son might be similar in that regard)?

In short, there's not enough data or an easy way to gather it.


Not entirely relevant so I apologise but your situation reminded me of the "inflamation theory of disesase":

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3492709/

"Inflammation has long been a well-known symptom of many infectious diseases, but molecular and epidemiological research increasingly suggests that it is also intimately linked with a broad range of non-infectious diseases, perhaps even all of them"


It's relevant. Mycotoxins (mold produced), and metals can also cause inflammation. In general, it's the immune system trying to sequester or isolate foreign material.

If you’re starting a solo saas business (and even if you’re not) I cannot recommend this podcast series highly enough.
