  66. <p>Good to know. With a HSBC Premier checking account (US, will open one in TW), is it going to be easier to get a credit card approved with HSBC TW (if having an HSBC TW credit card helps when I apply for other local credit cards (with better rewards, benefits)? Without a local employer, what supporting document do they look for for a credit card approval? I don’t have any regular income at this point but I have occasional (on &amp; off, not regular) schedule K-1 distributions from the US businesses I invested in.<br>

  119. <p>Yes, I know, it’s the New York Post (the US equivalent of The Sun, I believe), but the basic details appear accurate.</p>
  120. <p><em>In an October 2021 letter to Congress, Tabak had <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/21/nih-admits-us-funded-gain-of-function-in-wuhan-despite-faucis-repeated-denials/">acknowledged NIH funded a “limited experiment” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology</a> that tested whether “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”</em></p>
  121. <p>Whether this is the origin of the clade of viruses collectively known as “SARS-CoV-2”, of course, is not proven. But it does seem like an extraordinary coincidence.</p> ]]></description>

  456.        <description><![CDATA[ <p>The good ones are also quite expensive, plus’s the cost of a new wheel build. You’ve got to run the cables too. On a fancy carbon road racing bike a couple of battery lights is just easier.</p> ]]></description>

  485.        <description><![CDATA[ <p>The hubs used to generate the electricity, or so I understand, tend to be quite a hit heavier, and that means more to lug around. Which may or may not be important, depending on what kind of cycling you’re doing… They are used, but I think mostly in bikepacking, where you may spend days nowhere near a ready source of recharging.</p> ]]></description>

  493.        <description><![CDATA[ <p>So why aren’t generator lights even popular? Youbikes use them. You can configure them to flash automatically. They’re great because you never have to worry about keeping them charged. For that matter maybe a cam can be powered by a Dyno hub so that it automatically records and sends it to your phone. Those things puts out about 6 watts, enough to power electronic devices.</p> ]]></description>
