My thing was also a joke since there was no Iran or USA 3000 years ago. Although the breed of American who believes Jesus was American and humans are about 6000 years old might dispute that.

So what are you saying? Iran has been an imminent threat to the US for 3047 years? Damn Democrats never getting off their asses to get shit done. It was about time Trump handled it.
So shall we play Item Collector 7?
I think I saw a post by the admin saying there were some issues and you had to 'follow' them to get new content
Today my work was especially slow and around 2 p.m. I was fused to the couch and seriously considering just having a drink to take the edge off. But I have this friend who likes to go fishing and I piggybacked on that hobby last year and since the weather was fine I went fishing again today. It was nice just to be outside and even though I had to get over that hump, once I was sorta active I felt a lot better.
And just for reference, the LLM suggested looking for some sort of activity that was good to do solo, preferably at a place where others might also go solo, but with a focus on the activity so you don't have to get into small talk or focus on drinking.
I know bars and stuff can be triggering for those of us who really struggle with addiction but bar sports are a great idea for me on paper. I could just go play darts or pool in a pool hall, or go do board games in a game cafe. Bonus points of I have any form of human connection and I'd allow myself to have a couple of beers, might even go by car limit my alcohol intake that way because no matter how much I'd love to drink too much, I'd never drink more than the legal limit when driving.
There's just that hump, that threshold, the insecurity of the night going as I'd like it to.
I laid out some of my issues to an LLM yesterday (yeah I know) and I got some pretty good insight as to why I feel like I have to drown boredom with alcohol. I just feel understimulated a lot and when a big part of my day, i.e. my job, is not keeping me busy, I get that extra kick of inertia after dinner, a hole I then just try to fill by having a drink and doing whatever.
Before that drink, I don't feel it's possible to activate myself at all. Ideas about how to spend my time just feel hollow when I think of them, even if they would normally bring me joy. Something I'm really missing is what the LLM called 'micro-connections', just being somewhere and having some sort of interaction with anyone.
But isn't it super depressing that of all those days we have on Earth (of which the total is limited, by the way) we have to escape just sitting out the time? I can't help feeling that every moment should be spent in a meaningful way and when I inevitably come to the conclusion that that's just not possible, I just get paralysed and the only way out seems to numb those feelings, either by drinking or by distractions like video games, sports, bar games, board games, whatever. Just any type of activity as long as it's engaging enough to shut up the thoughts until it's time for bed.
So anyway that's what I'm dealing with, IWNDWYT.
Could be fishing line with a feeder cage considering it has a fishing style sinker weight
It's a 200 IQ take, hence the need for them to use all kinds of words people don't understand speaking about people that others don't know. I read this headline seven times before coming to the conclusion it's probably pretty funny if you have any idea about its context
It's still very early days for all batteries that are not Li-Ion or Li-FP. Plus there's a political aspect. Some countries, like China, have invested heavily in lithium and cobalt mining, increasing influence in Africa. CATL is a big innovator in batteries, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese government pumps the brakes on CATL developing solid state or sodium on the scale of lithium.
In the end, it's inevitable because both lithium and cobalt are finite resources. Lithium especially is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. We are in need of new tech, but it could still take 10 years for it to be fully developed and adopted. What we need now is devices that just cannot be powered by lithium, so that they will require something more dense like sodium sulfur. The lack of need for graphene, cobalt and lithium is a huge pro.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but lack of money can definitely cause unhappiness.
Also, doesn't Finland also have a very high suicide index? And they lead the world in obesity, prompting a sugar tax.
