TIME TRAVEL: The RACE IS ON WITH ELON!
As you can imagine, I was rather surprised to learn that one of the Elon Musk fanboy groups, in this case, Elon Musk Evolution, issued a veiled challenge to me on Youtube. Now, I already have a challenge in the works - that I'll get time travel to the past to work in order to evacuate people from here to the distant past in an operation we call Earth:12KB4 before Elon can get people to the planet Mars. I expect that we'll be able to achieve the required breakthrough next year. Recently, Musk announced he was delaying a SpaceX launch to Mars back to 2029. I have Elon in a strategic "check" because as long as I have a breakthrough before 2029, he loses and he can't deny our competition because that would mean he's not going try to get Mars. This proves that he is not focused on the threats to the future that he claimed to be.

While attending calls, you must be friendly and responsive to every query. With so many tasks involved, a lot of money, cost, and effort is spent every day. But if you want to be the king of your realty business, you have to beat all the odds.

My Predictions For Twitter Because F**k It
Elon has no idea either, so why can't I just throw caution to the wind. Some of these are serious guesses, but others are shitpost points for the sake of it. No, I will not be stating which is which.

The Pencil-Less Bank - A Frightening New Millennium Story
Banks are like everything else in the 21st century- unrecognizable from anything related to what we knew in the previous millennium. Today’s banks are mostly empty with very few tellers behind the long counters, as most banking is conducted online.

PROS AND CONS OF MAKING MONEY AS A BLOGGER
For those who want to start a blog or grow it into a company, it can not only be incredibly difficult to predict your income potential, but it is also difficult to expect when you start earning your income. Blogging is a pretty slow business model in general, and if you want to make money blogging, it is easier to recognize that from the outset.

Smart cars can do a lot of things, but they can’t replace drivers just yet and it's not the fault of the self-driving car.

Will the oversupply of streaming series / movies make us go back to piracy?
What was the first series you downloaded to watch week by week? Most likely your answer is 'Lost', but it could be 'Desperate Housewives', 'Grey's Anatomy' or even some anime. It was a different era: in 2002 there were a total of 182 series aired in the United States, of which perhaps twenty stood out. In 2021 there were a total of 559 in the United States alone, not counting children's series or international hits like 'The Squid Game' or 'La casa de papel'. It's too much!

Egypt is moving forward with the safe disposal of e-waste
A sharply rising amount of e-waste is generated around the world and the environment risks from it thanks to constant innovation which pushes people to repeatedly invest in new electronics while their used ones rarely end up at recycling centers.
