Egypt has been low-risk for malaria for some time. This declaration is from the WHO:

WHO declares a nation as a ‘malaria-free’ upon receiving valid proof that the Anopheles mosquito-borne native malaria transmission chain has been broken for at least the previous three years on a national level. A country must also demonstrate the capacity to prevent the re-establishment of transmission.

In June 2024, the WHO confirmed that there was no local transmission of malaria in Egypt, with all identified cases being imported from endemic countries. Egypt’s robust surveillance system was instrumental in early case detection, facilitated by collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

Neighbouring countries to the south have a high risk for malaria, but Egypt has had significant efforts to eliminate the disease since the '40s.

Sure, but there's also the value that the users create using these apps, and drive engagement to reddit. Not to mention the insane amount of volunteer mod work, many of who use unofficial apps.

You need an API key to access the reddit API. There's no MITM, it's just that requests made through Apollo are tracked to Apollo. And Apollo will be charged for those requests.

Are you saying that Victorian homes, as a rule, are aesthetic disasters? I'm curious to learn more about this as it's not something I've heard before. If you have any recommended reading about that I'd greatly appreciate it.

How I make my rugs 4 years ago

Crosstich is a particular 'x' stitch. It follows the grid of the fabric very rigidly, and is typically done using cotton strands. Needlepoint is the same process, but not necessarily using 'x' stitches, and extends to more types of threading material. Rughooking is a broad term, that means any rug making pushing yarn through a fabric.

There are some pedestrian streets in the City I live in that have commercial, office, and residential buildings along it. Delivery trucks are permitted on the street. There are anchors for removeable bollards which are installed during events to prevent any vehicle traffic from coming in.

Regarding traffic, generally traffic increases as you build more roads. If you build more transit, cycling, and walking infrastructure, the same rule applies. If you remove roads, you are creating more of an incentive to use alternative modes. It's obviously not an instant effect, but as lanes are being removed from cars and converted to allowed bicycles in Paris, vehicle traffic has reduced by 5% in 10 years.

88MP camera? I don't know if phone cameras will ever get there.

edit: wow, did not realise how far phone cameras had come!
