My post on the FCA' report on bank account closures and "debanking". Unsurprisingly, it finds nothing wrong. But it's sketchy, and doesn't include Farage. There's more flack to come. https://coppolacomment.substack.com/p/nothing-to-look-at-here
@sciencebase A Colour Chemist once told me about the hassle we had making mauve>purple>crimson but leps got there first.
@Adrenochrome @sciencebase Not all moths grew up in the 1950s!
@sciencebase It seems odd that Skippers are called butterflies and then calling them 'dingy' and 'grizzled' is just mean.

@sciencebase Judging by the number of moths in the study, University Flake is a real favourite. Some of the little ones like the laptop screen best.
@sciencebase Look at this gobful I found:
Lepidopteran moths possess two main olfactory organs, including antennae and labial palps. Compared to antennae, the labial palps are relatively specific and worthy of further investigation due to the labial-palp pit organ (LPO), which contains a large number of sensilla located on the tip segment.
@sciencebase Does the Snout Moth seek out something in particular with its huge olfactory member? I hope it doesn't get it nettled.
@sciencebase Sounds like 'chaff' or 'window'. Clever little things.
@sciencebase You'll be interested to hear that looking at the HCP options for moon iron shows that (2,1,1,2) is a possibility for one facet.
@sciencebase Do you know if any moths have defence against echolocation to put off bats?

@LouisIngenthron Tons of them... Years ago the first crypto crash was caused by US regulations that prevented the use of crypto in ordinary transactions (so you cant use it in stores int he US)... more recently regulations have made it illegal for my bank, one of the biggest legitimate actors in the crypto world, to stop supporting crypto. To quote a representative from the bank:
"As a result of the evolving regulatory environment and the uncertainties around the crypto market in the U.S., we’ve taken the difficult decision, together with our U.S. banking partner, to suspend access to cryptocurrencies through Revolut in the U.S."
Sadly the USA has went out of its way to regulate crypto out of existance and create exactly this environment, where it is virtually illegal to hold or use crypto so that only those who dont care about what is legal is left using it. This has been a very clear and obvious pattern out of the US government in an attempt to kill crypto.

So that shrieking windbag Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has admitted she is openly coordinating with Trump to keep an “impeachment inquiry” into Biden open for as “long and excruciatingly painful” as possible. This is the real “weaponization” of the government: going after the President with absolutely no evidence, solely for political points.

ICYMI, this isn't the fist time Green has called out companies for profiting rather than bringing cures to people:
In July, he pointed out Johnson & Johnson's patent thickets were keeping TB generics from low- and middle-income countries
