Yes, pretty much that.

Uraniborg[a] was an astronomical observatory and alchemy laboratory established and operated by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. built c. 1576 – c. 1580

Also it took a while for the telescope to catch on.

The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The monument was completed in 1734.[1][2] It features the world's largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1][3] It is near City Palace and Hawa Mahal.[4] The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye

It means it gives the illusion of being locked, until an Israeli tech company plugs into it and unlocks it for the cops.

Billionaires don't face consequences in the usa. Maybe in Europe or Asia, but not here.

And especially not under the trump regime.

Mark Zuckerberg apologies for child sex abuse and deepfake content, then goes back to making more money off them.

Oh they are definitely home.

But they are sitting naked on the living room floor rocking back and forth in a meth induced psychosis while clutching an assault rifle illegally modified for full auto.

Riiiight. Just like printed books did. What kind of world would it be if anyone could read about math.

Also mainframes, calculators, personal computer, spreadsheets, .......

Texas can barely keep the lights on under normal circumstances.

I'm getting over 4% at suncoast credit union and Vanguard Vusxx is paying 3.65%

You need to shop around.

VUSXX is the ticker symbol for the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, a mutual fund designed for capital preservation and liquidity rather than stock-like growth.

Yes to building societies. But like credit unions do your research before joining.

I didn't know whether to mention them because they don't exist everywhere. And they had some scandals a while back. I'm not current about their situation in all the different countries that operate them.

Like any other service company they can go down hill. Also wall street and the banking industry. HATE them because they giver better service at a lower cost. The for profit finacial industry keep getting laws passed to lock credit unions out of sectors.

Plus you should always check their health scores. https://www.depositaccounts.com/banks/reviews.aspx

I belong to three different ones, they all have plus and minus.

Some belong to the credit union coop and you can access your account all over the country.

Some have really great rates on CD's.

Some have International reach, and great phone support, like the Navy credit union
