Over 1.9million residents in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, could be forced to relocate in a very ambitious $30billion plan with the first people set to move-in to the new city by the end of October 2024.
But Jakarta has over 11 million people. Let the poors take one for the team, I guess.
My guess is that in twenty years, the old city will have over 25 million residents and that it will not suffer from imagined sinking or higher sea level.
The creation and globalization of the web is widely considered one of the most transformational events in human history. 4.39 billion people, including you, are now estimated to use the internet, accounting for over half the global population.
When she was ill, my daughter in New Jersey was told by her doctor to make tea from pine needles. That was three years ago. Pine needle tea has 4-5 times more vitamin C than orange juice. It is also a good source of vitamin A and is an expectorant (thins mucous).
Recommended using white pine, an eastern seaboard variety. Daughter sent me some and it's brewing right now. Wish me luck!
OP here.
Went to my wound care specialist this morning. He cleaned out the gunk from my big toe and we took this picture of my open wound. NSFL, but it proves the song: Ba-ba-ba-ba-bad to the bone.

My diabetes in my old age is wrecking a toe on my left foot. In my family, nobody dies with two feet. It's generational and always end with a massive heart attack (done, plus quadruple heart bypass). then a weakened heart unable to pump blood to the feet lets the rot begin. I am there now. I have a toe rotted to the bone.
So I dox myself, that is, I am taking Doxycycline in a probably futile effort to save the foot. Be lucky to only lose a toe. If the MRI comes back saying that the infection is gone deep, I will just go home with no surgery. I have already taken actions against the inevitable. Contacted all the relatives and and will be driving back to New Orleans to have agoing-away party. Everything is in the wifey's name. One the way back home (Florida) we will spend a day at Fort Walton Beach where that quartz crystal sand may freely enter the gaping wound and I intend to leave it there.
Donating my body to science to save on the cost of a friggin' funeral nad burial. And finally, I just want to say a fond farewell to all you wonderul goats. I was on old Voat and Poal back in the day, and it's opened my eyes more than you might believe. Thank for the education and comraderie. I'll be thinking of you when I breathe my last.
