Why this strategy?

Once again, based on the criteria used by Arbitrum. To reward real users, there's a good chance that your number of dAPPs, the smart contract used, will count towards the airdrop. Image

So I've created this route to interact with 50 different Smarts Contracts simply & cost-effectively

I've made all these interactions with gas fees between 20 & 30 gwei and I've given you the price of each action

Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.

I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet
Before we get stuck in to today's news, a gentle reminder these threads are basically an unpaid full time job - actually more than that as you get days off with a job! Coffee donations welcome (link in Bio)

To catch up on Friday's news, click here
A few drones buzzed #Ukraine yesterday evening but air raids did not last long and no damage was reported.

The drone/cruise missile numbers on #Russia's daily losses are high as they include Friday morning's attacks.
Artillery, special equipment & fuel tanks way above average Image

La ā€œmanovra stipendiā€ della #Juventus: storia di un gigantesco illecito. Doppio. Partecipato da tutti, lā€™intero Cda e 40 tesserati. Il club di #Agnelli vara la prima manovra nella primavera del 2020, in pieno Covid, e la ripete senza esitare nella primavera del 2021 (1. segue)
Tutto inizia il 22.2.20 con una mail inviata da #Agnelli ai suoi fidati collaboratori: #Paratici, #Nedved, #Cherubini, #Bertola. Agnelli dice che la perdita prevista al 30 giugno 2020 ĆØ di 177 milioni. ā€œIl nostro obiettivo devā€™essere contenere le perdite a -50 milioniā€ (2. segue)
Lā€™idea iniziale di #Paratici ĆØ drastica: ā€œIo dico che dobbiamo togliergli 3 mesi di contratto aprile, maggio e giugnoā€, scrive a #Cherubini. In realtĆ  i primi colloqui con #Chiellini, capitano, non sono fruttuosi. I calciatori non ci stanno, serve una soluzione diversa (3, segue)

Iā€™m at #Manchester Crown Court for the continuing trial of the nurse Lucy #Letby. She denies murdering 7 babies at the Countess of #Chester Hospital in 2015/16. She also denies the attempted murder of 10 other babies. Updates here, @BBCNWT and BBC on line.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Elizabeth Newby is describing how she treated an alleged victim, Child D. She says D as born in good condition but needed help with breathing shortly afterwards. By the evening she needed to have a tube in her windpipe to helpā€¦.
ā€¦but by the next morning D was well enough for the breathing tube to be removed. D was able to breathe on her own in air. Dr Newby ā€œfelt it was likely that there was an element of infectionā€ as Dā€™s mothers waters broke early and there was a delay in her having a C section birth
