I read before that tires actually degrade and that contributes to pollution. I mentioned room air filters, because that seems like it would be a wise investment for people that live close to highways, or people that spend a lot of time in indoors like programmers.

So that maybe someone with a room air filter can comment on which ones are worth getting.

A good related book is "How to win Friends and Influence people". Basically its a guide how to make friends, with a realization that we live in a world full of selfish people, that are self centered and don't have much empathy. This is the default state of human beings. I watched an interview with Pol Pot and even he thought of himself as a good guy.

[edit] I should qualify what I mean by selfish as it relates to the book. Basically humans tend to act in their self interest by default. And will go a long way to justify that behaviour to themselves even when it hurts others, so they can preserve a positive self image. this a common behaviour pattern. The book doesn't claim its universal, and no exception exist. I'm sure there are exceptions. But even modern "saint" equivalents like Gandhi did some messed up selfish things.

What if in the future your could make a nuclear bomb in your kitchen? Thats the part thats scary. It conceivable that technology will make destroying the planet trivial, where anyone disgruntled could do it. How long will the world last then ... duh duh duhhh

Imagine if they let older people get more sunshine in nursing homes they would have better health outcomes. Instead they locked them up even more during the pandemic.

Study posted on here earlier showed link between low vitamin D and covid death. Like 60% of people that died from Covid had vitamin D deficiency.

Locking up old people in cramped nursing homes, spreads communicable disease, causes mental health decline, and is just terrible for their well being and shortens their life.

Thats why we need an army of robot nurses in the future, that will treat these people in their homes.

What about mean looking people? Surely nobody wants to be around a mean looking person. They might do well in prison or during the draft for war. But otherwise, I'm sure they get ostracized....which just boils up their meanness. So that one day, they might be plotting to ruin Christmas from their cave overlooking Whoville.

This is almost as bad as relying China on Personal Protective Equipment and quickly running out during the pandemic earlier this year.

Imagine if the USA actually comes under an attack.The apple spaceship would be high on the list of targets. All of sudden hospitals can't run their computers or communications. Disaster!

You claim is that its off topic. But how can it be off topic when Trumps tweet is about election fraud, and the title of post is also about election fraud. Both dominion and Branford's law use statistical results for proof where the overlap happens.

This standard doesn't really get held up in other discussions on here, people mention tangentially relevant things on here all the time.

Isn't that what the Russia gate did. It casted doubts about the election results for 4 years of his presidency. And still no definitive proof after 4 years. I don't understand the double standard now. I hope he pardons Snowden and Manning on the way out, as a final act of revenge on the system.

During the debates Biden pledged to wait for the vote to be certified before declaring victory.

I just posted a link to latest Trump tweet, and got flagged. Don't understand why simply reporting something as relevant as what Trump tweeted is reason enough to get flagged. when its directly relevant to this article, and what your president tweeted is news worthy. When your president retweets that 2.7 million votes where deleted during this election by dominion software. I think thats pretty relevant to this article. Shocking as that is. I made no claims of its validity. Just simply the source.

There are many health problems that are mechanical failures. From fractured hip bones to plugged up arteries. Exercise is linked to building muscle and improving blood flow and lowering resting hear Rate. At this point the evidence is more overwhelming than smoking causing cancer. There is no good reason not to exercise. And the easiest exercise is just walking for an hour a day.

From my understanding:

He found that the more a republican a county is, the more republicans voted for Gop candidates, and against Trump. But only after the first 20% or so of the vote was in. In the first 20% of the vote Trump was doing better than the Gop candidates on the ticket.

Comes to the conclusion that an algorithm is syphoning votes from Trump to Biden. In a predictable linear fashion after the first 20% of the vote is counted. And flips more votes in more republican counties in an almost perfect linear way.

It doesn't make sense because Trump was polling better than the Gop candidates before the election, and was popular with republican voters.

The tallying software has a weighted vote feature. Where votes can be weighted for example 2:1 for one candidate over the other. Thinks that this was kicked in after 20% of the vote was in. Which would produce a linear drop that the graphs show.

Trump's odds have actually gone up since the media called it. He's at 11% now. (Source https://electionbettingodds.com/ ) CNN flipped back Wisconsin to uncalled recently. He's on pace to win Arizona. And has a non zero chance to have some of the late ballots thrown out in Pennsylvania.

Two of the swing states, have key ridings with a history of corrupt and stupid leadership. Its a bad combination that gives Trump a betting chance.

Example, former Mayor Kilpatrick in Detroit was sentenced to 28 years for blatantly obvious self enrichment schemes.

People betting on Trump now are, are hedging on the "count all votes" mantra, even if good intentioned, led to ballots counted, that should not have been, and he can prove that in court.

Kosher slaughter is extra cruel/inhumane. The animal is not stunned during slaughter, while its neck is cut and it is bled out. No good reason what so ever for this practice to be allowed to continue in 2020, other than outdated religious dogma.

[Edit] Since I'm already getting downvoted for this comment. Go look up some videos if you don't believe.

Mel Gibsons Apocalypto has some great fight scenes, and probably one of the best foot chase scene on film. The ending scene is a sort of target practice of skilled warriors with a weapon vs an unarmed prisoners given a head start to try and escape. It becomes pretty apparent what a huge advantage a weapon in skilled hands is.

I can recommend this Yoga series. Namaste Yoga. Not only is it shot in beautiful destinations. But it gives you prompts when to inhale and when to exhale. Its basically a 20 minute breathing exercise combination Yoga, you can do from home, during the lockdown. Actually, if you take a hot bath before doing the exercises, its feels even more amazing because your body is warmed up. So its basically synchronized movement with breath, to relaxing music.

Here's one of their episodes.
