Egypt's tourism revenues hit a record high of $13.6 billion in FY2022/2023. Spending less than 10% to increase the purpose of choosing this country as a destination sounds reasonable, but as long as the P&L balances, I don't see why not.

Very mentally exhausting presentation with all that background music, audio effects, screen flashes, and this awful narrator's voice quality.

Not true. I picked up a git repo 18 months old. I tried to set up my rust dev stack to match the version in cargo. Then hit a lot of issues with dependencies due to abandoned repos used for the crates. I gave up and moved on.

I never archive my passwords on social sites and the idea to reset every time is a real burden. This helps too.

Michael and Nayib are gamblers who like to take risks. It could have worked the opposite for them if BTC wasn't so connected with the stock market. I don't think they realized this until it was too late.
