Local monero, a fiat way to buy monero with no KYC, will be shutting down.
Best way now is to use bisq if you want to avoid centralized exchanges. Maybe some image board will come up for p2p

In a medical anomaly that has stunned both medical professionals and the public alike, doctors have discovered a dead worm in the brain of Brianna Wu, a prominent software engineer and political activist.
Wu, known for her work in the tech industry and her advocacy on issues related to online harassment, sought medical attention after experiencing a series of unusual neurological symptoms. These symptoms included severe headaches, confusion, and seizures. Initial tests, including MRI and CT scans, failed to reveal the underlying cause of her distress.
The breakthrough came during an exploratory surgery performed by a team of neurosurgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Samantha Hayes, the lead neurosurgeon on the case, described the discovery as "unprecedented and astonishing."
"We were not expecting to find a parasitic infection, especially not a worm," Dr. Hayes said in a press conference. "This is an extremely rare occurrence, and it underscores the importance of thorough investigation when patients present with unexplained neurological symptoms."
The worm, identified as a larval stage of Taenia solium, commonly known as the pork tapeworm, is known to cause a condition called neurocysticercosis. This parasitic infection occurs when the larvae invade the brain, leading to a variety of neurological issues. While neurocysticercosis is more common in regions with poor sanitation and where pork is a dietary staple, it is exceedingly rare in the United States.
Wu's case has sparked concern and curiosity within the medical community. Dr. Margaret Chin, an infectious disease specialist, explained the potential pathways for such an infection. "In rare cases, individuals can ingest the eggs of the tapeworm through contaminated food or water. These eggs then travel through the bloodstream and can lodge in various tissues, including the brain," Dr. Chin noted.
Following the surgery, Wu is reported to be in stable condition and recovering well. In a statement released through her spokesperson, she expressed gratitude for the medical team's expertise and the support she has received from her family and friends. "This has been a harrowing experience, but I am relieved to be on the path to recovery," Wu said. "I hope that my case can raise awareness about the importance of seeking medical attention for persistent and unexplained health issues."
The discovery has also prompted discussions about public health and the need for vigilance in food safety practices. Experts emphasize that while such infections are rare, proper hygiene and food preparation methods are crucial in preventing parasitic diseases.
As Brianna Wu continues her recovery, her experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of medical science and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extraordinary challenges.
