And 50% of the world cobalt production comes from DR Congo, a country that hasn't been stable since the 1990s. A lot of that cobalt money ends up in the hands of international mining companies doing dodgy deals with corrupt top government officials.

I came here to say that! The bonobo is an an indigenous ape of the left bank of the Congo river in the Congo rain forest in the DR Congo. They look indistinguishable to chimpanzees to the untrained eye.

Gorillas are a whole different species and you have at least 4 subspecies of gorillas, none of which look like chimps or bonobos.

Thanks for this. I will check it out

I'm one of those poor kids who got out. My identity project was programming. An friend gave me a an old noisy Pentium II that became my best friend. I spent countless hours, day and night, learning to program. Skipped prom to program, dodged sports in high school, never attended parties. Programming was my identity. I started working before starting college. The prohibitive cost of college made me drop out to focus on my career on the first opportunity I had.

My current job as a software engineer pays well. I live a comfortable life and can afford things I never had but my lack of college degree also causes me to have a very bad impostor syndrome.

Maybe I should save up enough to go back to college and graduate.
