from their FAQ[1]:

"What will you do with my money once you're a bank?

In year 1, a very small proportion of your money will be lent to private individuals in the form of unsecured personal overdrafts. The rest sits in cash at the Bank of England. In the future, we will do more personal lending and invest some of the money in UK government bonds."

Until they get their banking license, they're just offering rebranded pre-paid debit cards from Wirecard. From the FAQ: "We have given out the initial batch of 500 Mondo Alpha cards." "In total, we’ve got 3,000 limited edition “Mondo Alpha” cards to give out over the the next three months or so."

After the withdrawal, Major Meredith compared the emus to Zulus, and commented on the striking maneuverability of the emus, even while badly wounded: "If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world...They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks.

Absurdism [1] is one of three philosophical doctrines (along with existentialism [2] and nihilism [3]) that try to reconcile the fact that we live in a meaningless universe when our human tendency is to seek value and meaning in life.

Existentialism argues that we create our own meaning by living life and exercising our free will. Nihilism counters that there is no meaning and so nothing matters. Absurdism is the acceptance that life is ridiculous and by defiantly laughing at it we can live authentically.

Seaborn is now my goto plotting library for python. It's built on Matplotlib but with default themes and colour palettes that are much better out of the box and rarely require modification.

It plays nicely with pandas dataframes and has a number of useful built-in plots.
