This is a masterful shark roast.  It is made of masterfully minced shark, masterfully minced shark, masterfully minced shark, and masterfully minced shark.

WWUD if he couldn't mince?

WWUD with the ability to make a bonfire?

For those worried about helium reserves,  they found a whole lot more in Tanazia. It's maybe twice as much helium as the US supplies, which is going to be interesting.

Anyway, people are talking highly about it.
At last, the commercial airship fleet makes sense.

Controversial propulsion systems?

The only one I can think of was the Nuclear powered rocket ship.
Project Orion, getting to orbit, 1% higher global cancer rate at a time.
I know Wiki has a page describing Project Orion, but it cannot be linked to.

Flood the map with flying magma.

WWUD with a forklift?
Nothing. I don't think Toady One is going to add any post-16th century technology.

WWUD with a shark?

Yes, brain, the fact that I'm going to die in obscurity without accomplishing anything nor being the person I want to be is a useful thought in the morning.
S.A.D.?

Slightly detailed description of a pretty big wound one of our cats has. Most of you probably won't be bothered, but if you are really squeamish don't open.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Parents are taking her to the vets, and none of the other cats look like they have been in a fight. But the grandparents next door have a number of cats, and stray cats do pass around here, along with a number of other animals, since we are way out in the woods. Biggest concern is that she might be infected with something. Bringing back a lot of feelings from before from when various cats have gone missing or died.
:( Hug.

As old as the universe, though my form is younger.

I still don't get what you mean, tbh...

For me Dune is pure political intrigue. Frankly, it did Game of Thrones thirty years before GoT, and it did it better. Religion is only present there as a purely instrumentalized social construct in the service of power groups - in some cases it's very existence was meant as this in the first place.

In other news, Brexit has wiped $2 trillion off the global stock markets, making it already as expensive as the entire Iraq war. Pretty impressive considering the UK's GDP is only around $2.75 trillion.
So what?

Not everyone considers what could be argued is a form of "economic suicide" (which had fair warning, too) a price worth paying in order to attain some of the claimed benefits of leaving the EU (some of which have already been dismissed by those who earlier proposed them - rendering it a rather absurd situation where the cost will return literally nothing).

YMMV.
Where is the evidence?

... what is it you are asking for evidence of?
Is there any factual basis for most of the claims being made about the future of the British economy? Most of what I have seen from the experts looks like bluff. I am actually open to evidence, so if you have some I will look into it.

... you want factual evidence that will tell you how future events for a system that in inherently chaotic will unfold when the events themselves are unprecedented, and you are dismissing the predictions of experts as bluff?  What exactly are you expecting anyone to offer you?

Someone way more well versed in macroeconomics than I no doubt could go into way more detail.
I await their response.
