The power of LookUp is immense for writing well. But Grammarly often beats it. Those who write a lot, know that the dictionary is a second most valuable tool in writing after the chair.

Ah, Forbes always was an authoritative source on climate change. I am not in the mood for battling over the authors who are unable to consider 250 000 underwater volcanoes. You know, 250 000 underwater volcanoes cannot be wrong.

I worked a bit around the data, and I am very sceptical about humanity ability to produce enough CO2 for The Climate Change. Volcanic activity was, is, and will be the main contributor to the CO2 pool. Humanity is not the geological force, regretfully.

There is a joke "Scientists are telling us that our civilisation stands on the border of the abyss, and propose themselves to take leadership, and make a move forward". Seriously speaking, last year I looked into summary of glacial core data from Greenland. You know, what, climate always changes. This one is no worse then a Pleistocene. May be some cool animals will emerge in a million years from now.

You never read Asimov or Lem, weren't you? Robots should have rights, if they can make choices.

Speaking of Lozenets - it has one of the best wine shops in Bulgaria. And it is definitely a Big Plus. Actually, I have summer office in Sozopol and it works OK, just you will need to be prepared of VIVACOM 24-48hrs downtime once or twice per season. Otherwise OK. Business wise, Bulgaria for a foreigner is very good, banking is OK.

Well, its survivable. I drove twice via "non-central" Hungary this year. And people understand basic English. However, can't comment on availability of English-speaking communities of smart individuals in Hungary.

Not much English speakers there, very mediocre roads in the city. However, the food is great, life is cheaper then in England, but not as cheap, as it may be at Chiangmai. Or in Scotland.

Scotland. Most definitively, outskirts of Edinburgh.

So, robots have no rights to convey messages to humans? Is that so? It might be a wiser option to enhance control over ownership of robots instead.

Is there an option to migrate db to another CRM with similar functionality? If memory serves, vTiger is a sugar clone.

Unfortunately they weren't there. Only the Soviet robots had really been on the Moon.
