I didn’t say they wanted to die I said I would rather die.

They were only killed if they were already held hostage, like don’t get me wrong dying is the end all your life is just over but being held kidnapped for over a year being raped and tortured seems worse to me than just dying as I got kidnapped knowing my kidnappers got killed too.

Gate valves not globe valves? Maybe they are just older than me but gate valves seem like a horrendous design for faucets as they are generally much larger than the size of the piping due to the gate and they have very poor throttling capabilities

It can be less regressive depending how it’s done. Poor people spend much larger percentages of their income on essentials like food, clothing (non luxury), and rent which can all be made tax free. It can then actually tax people who do things like take out massive loans to cover their expenses while not technically earning an income.

Washington state has also never had an income tax and uses sales tax but makes many essential items tax free to try and be less of a burden on the poor

Anyone can order on sigma as long as you make an account! Which is really cool but a lot of the times their prices aren’t competitive with random products you could find on amazon since the average person rarely needs hplc grade products.

I used to do that exact same thing with 200mg of caffiene in a Nalgene with a drop or two of lemon juice haha

You can get it super easy in the U.S. for cheap

Here is lab grade caffeine

That if you wanted to make 150mg energy drinks it would cost less than 3 cents each.

If you want to just mainline caffeine I would recommend caffiene pills they are preportioned and are cheap here are the equivalent to 100g pre measured out for under $20

But my point still remains that the cost of caffeine is completely irrelevant to the cost of energy drinks

That’s because monster overcharges, caffiene powder is cheap and you could add it to soda for cheap

First you need to just take a step back and calm down. There have been absolutely horrendous periods in human history and way worse in the history of the planet. It’s a pleasantry… it’s like saying “have a nice day” the world is not ending this year and lots of amazing things will happen for people this year. People will fall in love, people will have children (that they want), people will get new jobs, graduate from school, have the best day of their life; all you are doing by saying have a happy new year is say that you hope more good things will happen then bad things

One of the Republican talking points was that Kamala never won a primary and just snuck in. Not that it mattered for her actual policies but more so it was another reason for votor apathy

If you can’t acknowledge the flaws of “your team” then you have a problem. Like clearly one is a shit ton worse than the other but if we don’t speak out about what we don’t like about our “team” how is it ever going to get better

$10000/ton is $5/lb from a quick google search they are about $250/lb for industrial diamonds. So 50* 50 or 2500 billion or 2.5 trillion with no idea if they can use run of the mill industrial diamonds or if there will be additional processing to get them into the aerosolized form also how are you going to launch them, and for how many years would we need to do it

All the major engineering disciplines do the same basic formulas with different concepts. Fluid flow, mass flow, electrical ‘flow’. Are all the same basic equations. Software engineers don’t need to do that, they are further away from the actual math which is what makes engineering, engineering.

There is a professional engineer title in the U.S. top and misrepresentating your self is illegal. However since software engineer isn’t a real type of engineering it doesnt get covered. It’s like how a medical doctor is a protected term but if you misrepresent your self as a PhD that’s not protected

The lower classes must be kept in check otherwise they might realize how easy it would be for this to happen again. So let’s give a person a 100k bond, charge them with an act of terrorism for saying words fhat are literally used to describe the techniques of insurance companies

Zoomers are 97 millennials go all the way to 96

It’s 10 million times more acidic than drain cleaner!!! And the government is trying to force you to drink it by forcing it to be used in municipal drinking fountains

Just because a concentration is low doesn’t mean it’s safe. Water with 0.7 mg/L of Po-210 is lethal.

You can put an amount of it in a 55 gallon drum that is not visible

It’s a natural substance

Fluoride is in fact safe at the amounts that the FDA regulates but saying it’s a small concentration or that it’s natural are not the reasons it’s safe. It’s the hundreds of peer reviewed research articles that show that it’s safe

The nuclear plant isn’t obsolete… it’s a PWR and with modern fuel cell designs it can reach the same efficiency as modern plants

Like starting up a nuclear power plant to avoid burning fossil fuels?
