A new report warns of a serious RAM shortage by 2030, researchers estimate DRAM demand could exceed supply by 28.7 exabytes about half the world’s current annual DRAM production.
The main cause is AI. Companies are building more AI servers, and memory makers are shifting production to high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI chips instead of standard DRAM used in gaming PCs, laptops, phones, and other devices.
If this occurs, RAM prices could stay high for years, making PCs more expensive unless production catches up.

🚨🚨 JUST IN: Florida’s AG announces subpoenas for General Mills and Pillsbury over their use of potassium bromate, a chemical linked to cancer, DNA damage, and even possible hearing loss.
@AGJamesUthmeier: "There's been sufficient evidence of ties to kidney, thyroid, and abdominal cancer. It is a genotoxic, causing oxidative stress. It's been linked to DNA damage and other cellular harms. Again, it's not something that we want to risk when it comes to our kids."
Officials say this is just the start of the investigation.

Bayer-Monsanto to deploy AI & drone surveillance to Australian farms.
Bayer has signed a deal with Polybee to deploy their "Farm Intelligence Platform" across Australian vegetable growers. The platform uses autonomous drones & AI for full-field scouting, disease detection, and timing of harvest decisions.
This happens only weeks after Syngenta signed with Annam.AI, India's AI "Advisory system" for its 140 million smallholder farms.
Generational farming knowledge and intuition are being replaced with centralized, corporate-owned models. Farmers are losing sovereignty as they are turned into little more than a managed node in the technocrats' centrally-managed supply chain.
Add in the John Deere autonomous tractors and robot harvesters, and soon the farmers themselves will be replaced...

"The state has just transformed the most basic act of food autonomy into a bureaucratic procedure in its own right."
Got backyard birds? Failure to obtain 3 layers of permits can be deemed a "violation of town planning rules" and result in fines ranging from 1,200 to 6,000 euros.
The slightest neighborhood conflict can also trigger a procedure. Odors, flies or noise are likely to be qualified as abnormal neighborhood disturbances. As for the rooster, its morning crowing can give rise to a fine of 68 euros, increasing up to 180 euros.

Russia strikes two merchant vessels in Ukraine’s Black Sea corridor.
Ukraine is a top global exporter of wheat, corn & sunflower oil. Every time shipping gets riskier, insurance costs skyrocket and export volumes drop, meaning there is LESS grain available and it is MORE expensive to obtain.
The global food supply is on very shaky ground. We are seeing why the WEF & UN were saying over the past few months that we are entering a food crisis.

Let's talk about Cyclospora
Currently in the USA, there a multiple outbreaks of cyclosporiasis caused the protozoan parasite, Cyclospora. It is spread through raw fruits, vegetables (especially lettuce) or contaminated water. I'm seeing confirmed reports of it in my area so it caught my attention and I wanted to know more about it. Cyclospora irritates the small intestine which triggers it to release fluids into the lower intestine. People are saying it causes explosive diarrhea that smells really bad for about two weeks. A few people have said it caused them to lose 15+ pounds from being so sick. The main concern is the dehydration that happens after several days of this. Healthy people should be able to clear the infection on their own without treatment within a couple of weeks but it doesn't sound pleasant at all. What can be done to lessen the severity?
The mainstream medically approved treatment for it is sulfa antibiotics called Bactrim or Septra. If you are seriously allergic to Bactrim like me, there are not many other mainstream alternatives. One of the alternatives is Ciprofloxacin which has multiple black box warnings and can cause permanent disability or death. Neither of these options sound great so what natural remedies are there?
Boron/borax/boric acid - boron has been proven effective against the protozoa that causes the STD trichomoniasis. While it is not known exactly how boron kills Trichomonas, scientists theorize it interferes with protozoa cell membrane integrity, inhibits key enzymes or disrupts biofilms. If it works the same way for Cyclospora, boron may offer some protection. Pharmaceutical companies have developed boron containing compound drugs that have been used with success against several other types of protozoa parasites such as sleeping sickness and malaria. Because boron/borax/boric acid hasn't been studied alone against other protozoa besides Trichomonas, it is unknown if it will work specifically against Cyclospora but I will continue to take my borax daily in the hopes that it offers some protection. 😊
Herbal remedies - there is way more research in this area and multiple promising papers. These remedies are listed in order of most effective to moderate effectiveness against Cyclospora.
1) Garlic - active compounds allicin, ajoene and diallyl sulfides damage the Cyclospora's membranes and increases oxidative stress inside the parasite
2) Curcumin (Turmeric) - interferes with Cyclospora survival and protects the intestinal lining
3) Pomegranate - the peel has compounds that reduced oocyst shedding and improve tissue healing
4) Ginger - reduces Cyclospora parasite load
5) Black seed - reduces Cyclospora parasite load, improves immune response, lowers intestinal injury
6) Green tea - some direct antiparasitic effects, reduces intestinal inflammation
7) Artemisia species (including wormwood) - damages parasites including Cyclospora and reduces their survival
8) Oregano oil - thymol and carvacrol found in oregano oil damages parasites and reduces their survival
