It's been proved scientifically that microdosing EPO is undetectable and results in a significant performance boost:

Now I cannot say this cannot be proven in the future, but right now it is definitely possible, and not even a secret.

Alot cheaper and less heavy then a car.
Which is a valid, but much less important argument since the advent of the electric bike
Probably not. The size of the QE has been too big, and more mistakes have been made but that's only natural. What annoys me is the fact that the CB's feel the need to keep lying about this. The whole sticking "transitory" story, while no one in their right mind thought the inflation was transitory (at least for a short period) is the best example but there are many more. You simply can't shut down the economy for months without having a recession.

The Netherlands has a decent vaccination rate (38.5% fully vaccinated, something like 66% has received their first shot). The delta variant is wreaking havoc here. The number of cases went from 500 to 10 000 in 3 weeks... Yes this coincided with very poor decision making on the government side (deciding to open all clubs/bars for people who had a negative tests), but still something to be taken serious.

So far the # of hospitalizations have stayed low, but if the delta variant continues to spread through groups of people who have been reluctant to vaccinate, this might change.

I just checked his Wikipedia entry. He will have to try a bit harder to become "radio-active" for potential employers...

Dutchman living in NYC here. Manhattan seems perfect for cycling: small distances, wide roads (lots of space for bike lanes), not very hilly. Sometimes it rains but definitely not more often then the Netherlands. That they choose to fill all the streets with big Suburbans bewilders me. Especially when the only alternative is the subway.
If I remember correctly the odds of brexit where like 48% but the pound was valued for 100% chance of bremain. Don't need to be an hedge fund to see there was a limited risk but big potential gain for this trade.
So overweight people (high carbohydrate),and people with dietary restrictions (for whatever reason) have a lower lifespan. Shocking.
