Get shots, pay health insurance. Dont get shots, life insurance pays your loved ones.

Macabre and sadly true.

so-called “gravity batteries” is pretty much exactly a dam with a mini-dam/reservoir at the bottom. When there is an excess, you run the motor to reverse the waterflow to pump uphill into a highe-elevation water retention pond/mini-dam.

This also helps reduce the amount of outflow water “lost” due to high-demand. Since you could take almost a day to fill the bottom reservoir and spend “wind”/solar to pump back the “lost” water downstream back into the higher-level reservoir.

Even if things are inefficient wind/solar are “renewable”, so you can keep “wasting” excess to replenish the dam and still make enough money back ( think in-terms of drought, flooding, windy, sunny, cloudy, etc ) you can basically keep the high-output “system” always topped-up with water. And still supply water + electricity as it is needed. There is no “downside”.

Not everyone agrees. So opinions can differ.

Having a bias should not deny you having a voice. Human beings should be understanding and empathetic of each other within reason.

Xitler or Putler must be condemned and prevented from having any voice. Tibetans denied their homeland should be supported and voiced.

“Everyone has a plan until they are punched in the mouth”

I rest my case when people say:

baseless fear mongering

Putin is paranoid and insane.

If he ever pushes the button and the Russian soldier “following orders” all of them will stand trial at the ICC for war-crimes against humanity and the entire-planet earth.

The first nation that attempts at launching nukes success-or-failure will get crushed by the rest of the world.

Nuclear-Mutually-Assured-Total-Destruction is not a joke. It is reality we live in everyday.

Now it is up to Kamala and the DNC to hold their promises and keep fighting till election day.

1. Keep campaigning in key rust-belt states.

2. Stay on message.

3. Pass as many executive orders to be finalized after Jan 6 2025.

4. Keep fighting for the middle-class families and get people like Bernie Sanders and Katie Porter and Tammy Duckworth to front-run every possible middle-class campaign and draft bills for congress, house and senate.

DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSIES OR SIT BACK IDLY!

Get Elected and then do whatever PR statement, controversy, bs etc.

Dont they make Tea out of stinging nettles or something?

I’ve tried hibiscus tea which is nice even without the sugar.

In table-tennis / pingpong,

Equipment Junkies.

It is both an insult as well as an addiction/habit.

Amateur and Pro TT players usually have trained from childhood as early as 3 years old tend to have an almost god-like superior ability to learn and relearn in the sport at any age.

But most folks get into TT at an older age around their late-20s.

TT reflexes cannot be gained at the later stages of life. Almost a miracle for an older player to “git gud”.

Hence, you will find the older players have the income to buy equipment used by the Top-10 players in the world. Hence “Equipment Junkie”.

The number of permutations and combinations in TT equipment is crazy for such a “simple” looking sport.

Real problem is when you buy all this expensive stuff and your game gets WORSE not better. You “lend” your equipment to other players and all of them seem to play better than you with your own equipment.

So you spent a lot of money, and don’t want to let anyone touch your equipment ( because it would be embarrassing for them to become “better” players using your stuff while you wallow in misery of not benefitting from your own purchases ).

So EJs tend to have a extremely absurd amount of equipment that they have spent exorbitant prices purchasing and do not want to sell it to others ( again for fear their purchase is fuelling other peoples abilities at their own expense ) but they keep buying the next “Top-10” world TT players latest equipment without even understanding the sport.

It is an endless cycle which continues as more new blood is added to the mix and more EJs end caught up in the craze.

A billionaire took the family fortune of billions and reduced it to mere millions over several decades.

It is astonishing how difficult it is for a billion USD to get spent on luxury items would still remain in the hundreds of millions for decades. A billionaire has to leech off the workers and wages and company and society to amass a billion dollars. It is greed on a different scope and scale.

Anyone who hits a billion dollars should get instant prison time. A single island in the middle of nowhere with ALL amenities. Jetski, Yatch, Resort, everything EXCEPT coming back into normal society. NO visitors, NO people. Just prison guards and maintenance staff once a month under supervision and then everyone leaves under surveillance.

And I don’t think we will have to worry about running out of islands … there are more abandoned rocks in the middle of the oceans than there are billionaires on the planet.

I know from real experience unlike a lot of REEEEEEE … sorry but not sorry that you like to jump to conclusions.

Sony Support SUX.

When you go to Samsung or Moto/Lenovo support, they would give you a loaner phone when yours was in for repairs. Repair centers accepted wherever they were located.

Sony would tell a 1500USD phone customer to F*CK OFF if they asked for a loaner phone during repairs. You have to go to the Sony Mobile repair center to get any kind of help. There are tons of dealers and TV / audio / other Sony repair and none of those have any kind words or help for customers.

Sony Support is DOGSHIT GARBAGE.

You’ll find that “student accomodations” are probably the biggest scams in the UK. A lot of Indian-origin residents/citizens esp. the first-generation, they have the same “Indian” mentality. You’ll find that the 2nd-gen children of these people are more “British” and less “Indian” mindset.

Case in point, the elderly property owner does less than the “minimum” maintenance, charges crazy rent-prices, re-arranges rooms to fit the maximum occupants, almost regular issues like heating, plumbing, mold, etc completely ignored. While suddenly announcing that rent is increasing by 20% “due to inflation, or needed for maintenance” … don’t pay? get out and your deposit is forfeit. Ever showered in cold water during the entire February in the UK ?

You will find that the 2nd-gen children if they find out the elder is doing this, will immediately rectify the situation and probably takeover if they can. Else you are outta luck and on your bum in the middle of winter which no one will want to be.

Netanyahu and the Likud? Right-wing party of Israel weren’t they found to have funneled money and funds and weapons and all kinds of shit to support Hamas activities just to maintain their control over the state of Israel?

Either way, the Region is FSCKed beyond belief. And the CCPPCC and Russia have more fingers in more of the Mid-East Asia pie just as much as Europe/America.

No foreseeable workable solution for next 10 years.

Pipedreams are all good and fine. First get her elected into office. Then do all the planning you want after Nov’2024.

Rich donors will not appreciate all the “go after rich people”. Get her elected. Everything else follows after that.

But Minecrafting Reagan would not be possible so it has to be Ponging him. Or Q*berting him ?

This is probably the last US election that will make any sense.

Harris needs to NOT Fuck Around and Find Out.

This is not the time for compromise.

Majority 75-25 Win in the Electoral College, Senate and House.

You need to solidify Medicaid/Medicare with WomensRights, All Healthcare coverage till Age 25 on parental plans. Pharma crackdowns on Drug prescription prices. Stabilize borrowing/lending money to Rich A-holes who are screwing the economy and stock market. Infrastructure overhaul roads, bridges and HIGH SPEED RAIL for next 10 years.

DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF <INSERT DEITY HIGHER POWER ALMIGHTY NAME> DO NOT … I REPEAT … DO NOT FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.

This is almost literally the End-Times before we can make meaningful changes.

First, she has to win the Electoral College.

Second, if she can’t pass policies through Executive Orders and Senate + House with the maximum benefit for the 99% of the population, it will be her and the DNC’s fault for the next 50 years.

Get elected, appoint people who can actually effect real change.

After Nov2024, it will be gameover 'Murica. Either way it is all cooked.

Kidney Springs more sproings to mind.

“Shake it, baby!”

Farting does expel some amount of body heat.

Im sure long-distance runners might relieve themselves without stopping, as it cools them down while also a release and embarrassment which might spur their brain into flight response.

I doubt if the heat loss is significant but when actively working out or doing intense work the mind might get tricked into thinking that it benefitted.

Anecdotally when running a fever it does feel better emptying out. So not sure if physiological or psychological effect.
