There are two kinds of people in this country:
Those who think this guy is fucking nuts.
Those who think this guy is taking perfectly reasonable actions against a deadly virus.
The problem is that the pop culture and current political majority seems to be squarely in the latter camp.
The crazy hypochondriac are running society.
Earlier in the week, I posted an article in which I postulated that the widespread use of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin in Africa to treat other diseases was inhibiting the spread of COVID-19 in that continent.
Thanks to a comment by reader Nahanni on another post yesterday, I was led to an article at NOQReport titled "Shocking Conclusions from Africa Study Expose Why Big Pharma’s Puppets are Suppressing Ivermectin Data". It predates my article, but I hadn’t been aware of the study until Nahanni drew it to my attention. In so many words, the long article confirms my hypothesis. Here are a few excerpts. Bold, underlined text is my emphasis.
A graph made its rounds on social media yesterday that raised some eyebrows. It showed the clear difference between countries in Africa that use Ivermectin regularly versus those that do not. The differences were startling as the Ivermectin-nations showed unambiguous advantages against Covid-19. The mortality rates were very low compared to countries that do not use Ivermectin on a wide scale … Universal Ivermectin use seems to be the only factor preventing these nations from a full-blown Covid-19 catastrophe.
. . .
The final and arguably most important “hidden” takeaway from the study is that recovery and fatality rates for Covid-19 cases were not statistically significantly different between Ivermectin countries and non-Ivermectin countries. That means that once a person was tested and officially declared a Covid-19 case, they recovered or died at essentially the same rates across the board.
This tells us that other factors such as medical proficiency, environmental differences, or access to vaccines do not contribute to whether someone lives or dies once they have become sick with the disease. Since overall mortality rates per capita are significantly lower in Ivermectin nations but case fatality rates are the same, Ivermectin is clearly effective as an early treatment and perhaps even as a preventative measure.
Remember, the people in the Ivermectin nations are already taking the drug. They aren’t waiting for a positive Covid test and likely aren’t even very concerned about the disease at all. Many if not most who do end up becoming Covid-19 cases in Ivermectin nations were likely among those who were not taking Ivermectin as an antiparasitic.
There’s more at the link, including statistics, charts, etc.
I’m very glad to have independent confirmation of what was basically just a theory of mine, based on experience in Africa, but not supported by medical evidence. The latter is now available, and seems to support my theory. It’s a warm fuzzy feeling to find that I was pretty much on the money.
I’d like to find out whether anyone’s done a similar study on Hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 suppressant in Africa. So many millions of people take it there as an anti-malarial prophylactic medication that I’m certain it must be having that effect; but as yet I haven’t found any investigations looking into whether that’s affecting COVID-19 infection rates. I’m willing to bet that it is, as discussed in my earlier article.

It’s taken three years, but the guys at Hacksmith Industries have finally completed their working replica of the Power Loader from Aliens. In this final build video, they tidy up the cabling and put on finishing touches before taking it for an all-too-brief spin. We can’t wait to see them take down a xenomorph with this thing.

Minecraft is one of the best survival games played by millions of gamers worldwide. But unlike other multiplayer titles, you need to set up your own private Minecraft server to play the game with your friends. And having a server up and running 24/7 can be expensive, not to mention the hefty price you paid for the game in the first place.
But do you really have to empty your pockets and buy a server to enjoy Minecraft with your friends? Not at all. Luckily, websites like Minehut and Aternos allow you to set up your own “free” Minecraft server, with no hidden costs whatsoever.
To set up a free game server with Minehut, head over to minehut.com and click the Sign Up in Seconds button. On the next screen, enter your name and other credentials. Then click Sign Up to finish account registration. Finally, verify your email address and Minehut will automatically log you into your account.
On the account dashboard, click on the Add Server button, type the desired server name, and hit Create. Once the screen loads, click on the Activate Server button to start using your free Minecraft server.
Minehut will ask you to wait for 30 seconds as it prepares the server for you. Click on the Continue button when the DDOS-protected server transfer prompt appears.
The server dashboard gives you options to start and stop the server, access the console, view game files using the file manager, add and configure Minecraft addons, manage the current game world, and create backups.
You can also change the server “Message of the day” or play around with the server properties by scrolling down the page.
As you can see, the free server plan allows a maximum of 10 players to join the server. Also, you can create up to two servers with a free account. Minehut also supports cross-platform play, which means both Java and Bedrock Edition players can join your server.
Minecraft Java players can directly join the server by adding the server address to the game (servername.minehut.gg).
On the other hand, Bedrock or Pocket Edition players need to go through an additional step to join the server. First, you’ll have to join the bedrock.minehut.com server on port 19132. Then in the chat, type “/join servername.minehut.gg” to access the server. If the server is up, you’ll be automatically teleported to that particular world.
For example, if your Minehut server address is “random.minehut.gg“, you’ll first join “bedrock.minehut.com“, then type “/join random.minehut.gg” in chat to join the server.
Aternos is another free platform that offers private Minecraft servers to players. Just like Minehut, setting up a server with Aternos is a breeze. All you have to do is create a free account, add a server, and configure it up to your liking.
To get started, first visit aternos.org. Then click on the Play button located in the bottom-right corner.
Here, you can sign up for a free account or log in to an existing one. You can also sign in using your Google account if you want. Note that specifying an email address is optional, and you can create your account using just a username and password.
Once you have logged in to your account, click on the Create a server button.
Next, specify the server name and the description. You can also choose between Java Edition and Bedrock/Pocket Edition here. Note that, unlike Minehut, Aternos doesn’t support cross-platform play and you’ll have to create separate servers for both editions. Click on the Create button to continue.
On the server dashboard, you’ll have the option to start your server. To manage your server, select an option from the left sidebar. You can switch between Bedrock and Java editions by switching to the Software tab.
Likewise, the Console and File options allow players to access the console and file manager respectively. You can generate new worlds or backup your existing world using the Worlds and Backups option.
In Aternos, a server can be controlled by multiple users. This is to ensure that other players can also start or stop your server in case you’re unavailable. To add another moderator, click on the Access tab from the left sidebar and specify the Aternos username of the user.

It is great you can get your own private server for playing Minecraft without spending any extra bucks. Online services like Aternos and Minehut are inclusive of some limitations though. First of all, there’s a cap on the number of players that can join the game. You also get limited memory, which might not be enough if you’re planning to establish a full-fledged community server.
Apart from private servers, you also have the choice to join realms, play on a public server, or start a new single-player world in Minecraft.

This year, the Laravel team announced a new release schedule for major Laravel versions. Instead of a major version every six months, we now get a major release every 12 months. This change didn’t stop the team from improving the current release, Laravel 8. Over the last 14 months, it got so many great updates that you might have lost track of it.
I’ll release a series of blog posts to highlight some of the best features and improvements since the release of v8 back in September 2020. In total, I’ve gathered over 100 code examples, so I’ll split this blog post into five or six posts and group them by topic. Let’s start with Collections!
I got most code examples and explanations from the PRs and official documentation.
The pipeInto method creates a new instance of the given class and passes the collection into the constructor:
// Before:
Category::get()->pipe(function (Collection $categories) {
return new CategoryCollection($categories);
});
// After:
Category::get()->pipeInto(CategoryCollection::class);Split a collection into a certain number of groups, and fill the first groups completely.
$array = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);
// will return 3 chunks of sizes 4, 3, and 3.
$array->splitIn(3);Determine if the collection contains a single element.
collect([])->isSingle(); // false
collect([1])->isSingle(); // true
collect([1, 2])->isSingle(); // falseGet the first item in the collection, but only if exactly one item exists. Otherwise, throw an exception.
$collection = collect([
['name' => 'foo'],
['name' => 'bar'],
['name' => 'bar'],
]);
// $result will be equal to: ['name' => 'foo']
$result = $collection->where('name', 'foo')->sole();
// $result will be equal to: ['name' => 'foo']
$result = $collection->sole(function ($value) {
return $value['name'] === 'foo';
});
// This will throw an ItemNotFoundException
$collection->where('name', 'INVALID')->sole();
// This will throw a MultipleItemsFoundException
$collection->where('name', 'bar')->sole();Create chunks representing a “sliding window” view of the items in the collection.
collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])->sliding(2);
// [[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5]]$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
$collection->pop(3);
// [5, 4, 3]
$collection->all();
// [1, 2]$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
$collection->shift(3);
// [1, 2, 3]
$collection->all();
// [4, 5]Determine if any of the keys exist in the collection.
// This example would return true:
collect(['first' => 'Hello', 'second' => 'World'])->hasAny(['first', 'fourth']);
// While this would return false:
collect(['first' => 'Hello', 'second' => 'World'])->hasAny(['third', 'fourth']);In the next blog post, I’ll take a look at the Database and Eloquent improvements!
