I walked over a cliff then I looked down and fell.

Not really, but it does feel like that if you inadvertently step off something higher than you thought you were.

I like the first two and use both regularly.

Audiobooks are torture because the human voice doesn't read at even hald the pace of the human eye so it. feels. like. being. drip. fed. Even when you speed it up to x2.

Because it's more tiring and the straps fall off when you reach forward.

Tourists sometimes wear day packs on the front to avoid robbery on trains, and it looks very awkward and impractical.

In this case according to reports it's most probably being done systematically, not an isolated incident.

It's also most likely being filmed to show the effectiveness of the drone weapon for when Israeli arms dealers sell it in world markets.

Climate Change Is Worsening Inflation And Pushing Food Prices Even Higher, Researchers Warn (www.forbes.com)

Rising global temperatures are accelerating inflation and will likely push the cost of food, goods and services higher for years to come, researchers warned Thursday, the latest example of how the climate crisis is affecting human health and the economy as the costs of adapting to a warming world grow....

From the article:

While the above figures consider inflation in the context of the worst-case, highest emissions scenario—where little has been done to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions coming from human activity that are driving climate change—the researchers said climate change will push inflation up even under even the best-case emissions scenario, with overall inflation rising an average of 0.3 percentage points and food inflation 0.9 percentage points each year through 2035.

Under the best-case emissions scenario, the researchers said the upwards pressure from increasing temperatures on inflation would only be “marginally larger in 2060 than in 2035,” though warned food inflation would exceed 4 points per year across large parts of the world under the worst-case scenario.

Overall, the researchers said their results show climate change will put “persistent upward” pressure of “considerable magnitudes” on inflation over the next few decades regardless of emissions trajectories, adding that mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and new technological solutions like space cooling projects could help limit the risk to the global economy...

The researchers warned that while rising food prices and inflation will hit people living in wealthy and poorer countries alike, it is the global South, particularly countries in Africa and South America, that will be hit hardest. The models also project year-round temperature-driven inflation in low-latitude regions, while only seasonal changes at higher latitudes. The disproportionate impact of climate change, which also includes the impact of other climate-driven issues like weather disasters, displacement and food security, is a perpetual sticking point in negotiations of global climate agreements to mitigate further emissions.

@jlow they probably want it to happen. Step closer to neofeudalism.

Food prices could increase further due to climate change's effect on inflation around the world: Study (abcnews.go.com)

The strain that rising global temperatures could have on on the agriculture industry and inflation around the world will likely cause food prices to increase even more, according to new research.Changes in average monthly temperatures have the strongest and most consistent correlation to productivity and inflation figures,...

@lil_meow_meow I think for a long time some sociopaths with vested interests fought to keep people ignorant, as well.

I know. It's been bizarre growing up hearing all the warnings and watching the powerful proceed to ignore them because they dgaf.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

Worth mentioning it stops some medications from working so OP should check that out.

I want it to be this one:

There’s a character named Olive in The Sims 2 who has had 21 Sims die on her lot, and they’re all buried in her garden. Her biography says that she stops at nothing to get what she wants, and spends her free time sharpening sticks and excavating her yard. Not suspicious at all. Her memories indicate that she might have fallen in love with the Grim Reaper and killed people so she could see him more often.

Some think that the Sim Nervous Subject is her son, conceived in a tryst with the Reaper, and they both appear in The Sims 3. Her description seems to confirm she was in love with the Grim Reaper, but the backstory for the town has her complain about the unfair rumours about her. I don’t know, Olive, sounds kind of murdery to me.

Sims cinematic universe does sound kind of appealing.

Rights groups petition European watchdog to secure clean water in Guadeloupe, French Caribbean (www.thestar.com.my)

The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) said on Thursday it has filed a collective complaint to a European rights body to demand that France urgently ensures access to drinking water in its Caribbean territory of Guadeloupe....

From the article:

Unrest surged during the coronavirus pandemic as residents expressed mistrust in the government's handling of health crises.

Founded in 1922, FIDH brings together some 188 member groups and is funded by various international bodies and national embassies. FIDH said it filed the complaint alongside two other rights groups to the European Committee on Social Rights, an arm of the Council of Europe which seeks to uphold social and economic rights.

Separately on Thursday, Guadeloupe's SMGEAG water management and sanitation syndicate said many communes were suffering from water shortages, notably across the south-eastern parts of the island, citing "malicious acts and shortages due to drought."

Earlier in March, local authorities said they were cancelling over 13 million euros ($14 million) in water bills for some south-western residents, and had scrapped close to 30 million euros in this area since 2020.

FIDH attributed the shortages to widespread leaks, poor sanitation and pollution from the chlordecone pesticide, which was banned in the 1990s due to its toxicity, and can cause convulsions, nerve degradations and higher risks of cancer.

Guadeloupe and the neighboring French territory of Martinique have among the world's highest prostate cancer rates, according to a 2022 study funded by Public Health France and the country's National Cancer Institute, and over twice the mortality rates registered in mainland France.

Australia isn't immune to populism.

Narcissistic sociopaths may present differently in Australia than they do in the US but that doesn't mean they're not a thing.

It's a reference to the siphonic system versus washdown system.

An instant flush is what OP wants. If they can do that with the siphonic system, that's great.

True. A lot of our plans could backfire.
