I don’t even think there was an increasing trend DURING C19
I didn’t live in a big town during the happenings, but would regularly see people openly coughing, touching their faces and touching absolutely everything they can.
I’m just amazed we didn’t wipe out more of the population
Hey now, don’t go blaming the minimum wage workers for not being fully trained.
Zeal and Ardor.
An absolute top tier band that stand for human rights and who’s lyrics reflect their beliefs.
Created by a black metal artist from Sweden who made one of the best black metal albums of the past 5 years, who have since released banger after banger.

Also seconded/thirded on Run the Jewels. “Close your eyes and count to fuck” is on the forever playlist.
If we are I want a word with the dev team. This shit needs a rebalance ASAP. Gravity wells are too OP, black hole mergers should not warp the fabric of spacetime.
And don’t even get me started on Gamma Ray Bursts or Vacuum Decay.
My go-to is a level teaspoon of honey mixed into the kind of coffee that looks like black tar, for a beginner I’d suggest buying some of those paper coffee filters and a holder that sits on top of your cup, and a small bag of a ‘3’ strength (most supermarkets do a 2, 3, 4, and 5 roast)
See how the flavour suits you, and experiment with different roasts
If you want to get instant coffee go for Dowe Egberts (the glass jar with the gold label) because it’s one of the nicer options (for now, until keurig/dr pepper turn it into just another mass produced coffee)
HEALTH - everything from the band is banger after banger but with lyrics that’ll leave you feeling a certain type of sad
Ahh that makes a lot more sense
Cheers for the clarification
Oh nice one, that’s kinda cool
See I thought the curie temperature was a ‘one and done’ sort of deal where you have to go through the process of remagnetizing the magnet after it had gone beyond that point.
Not sure where they said they “did an entire presentation on this thing” or where they got their information from. I’m only adding some context to what I know of how thermostats work. I would gladly admit I’m wrong if provided with some evidence.
If you want a visual demonstration of a thermostat working here’s a video.
(For context I don’t mean to come across as one of those “well ackshually” asshats, I just like watching people take apart electronics (was also slightly obsessed with magnets as a kid. MANY hard drives were sacrificed to my curiosity lol).)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature I doubt they’re using magnets, especially considering how hot they have to get to lose their magnetism as you suggest.
Most thermostats in electronics such as kettles and cookers use a bi-metallic strip inside, where the two metal layers expand at different rates. The contacts in the switch are physically pulled apart by the strip bending when the desired temperature is reached. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip
I have never once in my life paid for an uber to deliver my burrito.
I don’t even order takeout outside of being social gatherings with friends.
I’ve been driving for eight years and only ever owned two cars, one I had to get rid of because I couldn’t afford to pay for it to be repaired, and the other was dirt cheap because it had a dodgy crash sensor.
I have NEVER had a credit card.
But do tell me how frivolous financial choices are what’s making me poor, because you seen it on TV.
It’s definitely not the complete lack of protections on livable wages and how inflation has been above wages for my entire lifetime.
“the system is designed to prevent you from saving your way out of poverty” Followed immediately by “go 10,000 into credit card debt to pay for education”
While “Bankruptcy can’t take away your skills” it can 100% leave you on the street.
If it’s any consolation it took me until I hit 33 for me to have any savings at all.
Anything I put into the account I used for savings went out the same month so I didn’t go into an overdraft.
Funny enough the only thing that changed is I passed my qualifications and got my first “real” job… Though I may have also spent the past 8 or 9 years isolated in a way that regular people only got to see during the 'rona times
The fym “A neighbourhood”?
More than 80% of gaza has been decimated in the past two years.
Genuinely there needs to be a fee that companies must pay for the pollution they create, with it written into law that they can’t palm the cost off on their customers.
We need to move shipping away from the ‘barely more refined than crude oil’ fuels they use
We need to ensure protection of the oceans by making it so that outflowing waste from industry never reaches the watercourse in the first place.
Single use plastics need to be removed from the supply chain (alternatively changed at the production level so they’re made from plant cellulose or a material that doesn’t break down into PFOAS or microplastics)
We also need to block petrochemical companies from lobbying or interfering with politics, and prevent them from funding smear campaigns against renewable energy sources
Grabbing a slow cooker and recipes for hearty stews is a solid starting point - only prep work is chopping veg and adding spices, chopped tomatoes are a good base for almost everything that involves a “chuck it in the pot” recipes. After it’s cooked the only thing you need to do is cook some rice or pasta to finish off the meal.
Alternatively training your brain to think ‘If I don’t cook a meal for myself I’m only going to feel worse tomorrow’ helps (Only slightly hypocritical coning from a guy that reached the point where my health was in serious decline during the worst times of not eating, and despite wanting to die I know I have to eat every day.)
+1 for Miniminuteman and Explosions/Extractions
Got a few science and tech channels; Tech Ingredients - in depth breakdowns of semi advanced technology from the perspective of a guy that can explain every step, how to build it yourself it and how to modify it to be better, may be a lecturer or just a very knowledgeable engineer. (most recent vid was building an underground heatsink to turn an inefficient window aircon unit into an absolute beast of a cooler, channel has also made DIY Graphene and ultra reflective paint for passively cooling buildings)
AvE - ‘Good old uncle bumblefuck’ a guy that takes apart tools and goes through the good the bad and the ugly. Occasionally posts machining videos, often amusing breakdowns of cheap tools.
Bigclivedotcom - Scotsman that buys ebay electronics and shows the good the bad and the ugly of how they’re made/what will kill you if it gains a fault.
Acorn to Arabella; A climber with access to a few generations old woodland, hand builds a boat from a 1920s design, learns to sail and sets off on an adventure (currently out sailing, lots of very satisfying build videos such as melting lead over a bonfire and pouring a multi-tonne keel.
Still tech-y but more lighthearted; Nilered - Modern day equivalent of a mad scientist, has made alcohol from toiler paper, grape soda out of nitrile gloves and cherry soda out of tolulene.
William Osman - the most ADHD of adult neurodivergents, currently trying to make a farm in his back garden (where the ground is 90% sand) He runs Open Sauce, which is a technology and creator convention. Also wrote a tv show called Scare the Coyote
StyroPyro - another mad scientist but with lasers this time, builder of the macrowave - a microwave so overpowered it can melt tungsten and make plasma out of almost anything instantly. Sometimes goes storm chasing.
It gets much, much worse
Have a quick search of the MKultra project 68. They took people from Canadian psychiatric wards, drugged them to induce a coma, blocked their eyes and ears, then played a repeating sentence every minute of every day in an attempt to ‘cure’ them.
One victim was kept in this condition for over 100 days.
They don’t want to show both because that would show readers exactly when a couple thousand new accounts all start talking about one polarising topic to get everyone agreeing.
