Needs a few of these little guys!

I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.

I think it's also that each individual person is so isolated and each small geographic region has such a lack of interconnected community. Each individual person, no matter how well armed or courageous, is nearly powerless against these organized paramilitary occupying forces in their communities.

A couple dozen guys with rifles and body armor, an armored personnel carrier, breaching charges, a surveillance drone. You'd think Osama bin Laden was in that house.

Do it. Do the right thing for the wrong reason, you giant man-baby.

Please use this website to find your california senator and assemblymember: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ From there, you can click the links to their individual webpages. Scroll to the bottom or click on "contact me" to find their phone #s.

Also contact the office of Governor Newsom at 916-445-2841

Its easy to call! You just get some intern on the phone or their voice mailbox. You say something like, "Hi, my name is whatever, I'm calling from wherever, I want to encourage [politicians name] to oppose Senate bill 690, the corporate cover up act. Please protect my privacy." And then they say, "OK, how do you spell your last name? Thanks for calling"

Its not hard to do. The government feels crazier than ever. Make your voice heard!

Once you've done this, you'll realize that it's also easy to call your congress and house of rep members to encourage them to oppose attacking Iran.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, whereas reduction is the gain of electrons. The mnemonic is OIL RIG: Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain.

Oxygen is highly electronegative (second only to fluorine), meaning that it will strongly attract electrons. So, oxygen is good at oxidizing things. It's good at stealing their electrons. (When the oxygen takes the electron, the oxygen becomes reduced!)

The reason that oxygen is so important in your body for respiration is because of its high electronegativity. It is used as the final electron acceptor in a chain of chemical reactions that are used to convert high energy molecules that you've eaten into different high energy molecules that your body can use.

Think of the analogy of a staircase and a ball. The ball is an electron and the stairs are energy states of different molecules along the metabolic pathway. As the ball goes down the stairs, the electron loses energy (which is usually converted to ATP or NADH). At the bottom of the stairs is oxygen, once the electron gets there, it doesn't have anymore potential energy to lose, unless maybe you have some fluorine around. The final, reduced state of oxygen in this pathway is carbon dioxide. It's no longer useful for respiration and thankfully can just be exhaled. How convenient!

An oxygen missing an electron (an oxygen radical) is highly reactive. This is not good. It'll just steal an electron from whatever molecule is nearby. That may be DNA or any other molecule that it's in your best interest to keep intact. Antioxidants are helpful as electron donors, neutralizing radicals before they do damage.

Seriously how the fuck is this not immediate grounds for expulsion?

More like the epitome of efficiency.

Oh god. I actually started gagging and coughing.
