Biltong is great.

Amazon has some for $40/lb

Keep in mind this is a dried beef product so you're losing half or more of the weight as evaporated water.

I was expecting a dog to come flying in from off-camera

I'm a couple years into carnivore, on-again off-again with dairy (currently off because I'm getting fat)

I didn't read your comment but when he said "stupid stupid wars" I knew it was fake

(which is weird because Trump courts the anti-war vote)

They told me to cheer up, things could be worse

So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse

Spain is part of Europe, yes

However there is significant admixture with Beringians

US American Indians commit violent crimes at about twice the US average, so if there is a genetic predisposition to violence in that group it seems likely to explain at least some of the 'Hispanic' vs White difference

I got into wet shaving for a while, if you want to shave the ritual of it is certainly enjoyable

Nowadays I have an electric trimmer

It's probably not economic to ship unprocessed ore back to Earth, so there's quite a lot of tools and equipment that will have to be produced on-site or shipped from Earth.

Mars doesn't have a lot of free oxygen in the atmosphere, so even with local methane you're probably not going to be able to use chemical fuels for mining or industrial production. The obvious energy sources are solar and fission, but both have their drawbacks.

I think the key to human utilization of Martian resources will be (approximate) self-sufficiency. If humans on Mars can locally produce industrial equipment, food, and (nuclear) energy, it's likely that they can create something of sufficient economic value to trade with Earth.

If any of these three are lacking, this implies a continuous flow of resources from Earth.
