I’m all for use of nuclear energy, and mining uranium from seawater, however, there are externalities that need to be addressed, at least in the USA, there are serious issues with on-site storage in pools, with no plans on what to do with the waste. This is a serious issue that needs considered.

I bought an amaztech stratos fitness watch, worth every penny if you use it for running. Tracks your run distance/time via gps, streams music via bluetooth and doesn’t require a phone, heartbeat monitor, etc. But otherwise I agree, quartz timekeeping is the way to go.
Expensive Cars. If you have to have one, buy a cheap one. One of the worst lifetime financial decisions you can make is spending money on cars, all of them get you to A to B. A used Prius is just about the most economical car you can buy for total cost per mile travelled. It would be nice if more cities had good public transportation systems, but unfortunately most don’t. I love long island, getting around on public transportation is so convenient.
Edit: Something like this example prius is the way to go if you are trying to maximize your dollar. Drive it until the wheels fall off:
Writing in Xi Jinping (no, not that one, a different one)
I have experience with alcoholics in the family and haven’t drank more than a handful of drinks in the last 5 years, because I don’t want to go down that road, but the things you need to ask yourself are: Are you prepared to have her never changed and eventually drink herself to death? Are you prepared for her behavior to get even worse over the years towards you and herself? Are you prepared for the drinking associated health complications, she won’t be able to function as an adult for her last 5-10 years. Are you prepared to deal with potential DUIs, job losses, and other alcohol related complications? Are you prepared to give up your life to deal with her situation?
If the answer is no, you need to think about your future with her. You can’t help her through this one.
In Firefox, on Linux, behind a VPN and firewall with ad blocker, I run 5 different privacy/ad blocking extensions. I keep hearing about adds, but not seeing them.
Supposedly Youtube now is getting more agressive on this? I wouldn’t know. Haven’t seen a Youtube notice about it yet.
But really, I dream of the day youtube is replaced by something else. Fracture Youtube into 1,000 pieces and scatter it into the wind.
Nope. Alternate power structures that can seize power during crises is how socialist revolution can come about. Much writing on this, here is a link I randomly googled:

Star Trek Industrial Replicator…Star Trek has never really had an episode that explored the magic of what you could do if you had a replicator. Just having ONE, would change the world overnight, and forever. I’d start replicating replicators and handing them out.
BJs is a club, it’s in terms of the membership. Same with SAMs, and Costco.
On the other hand, other stores can’t detain you, it’s not covered under “shop keepers privilege”. Watch you-tube on shop keepers privilege if you want to learn the laws around that. Also be careful, stores can and will legally evict you (some stores are petty as fuck like that) and then if you go there, you’re trespassing and can be arrested. It’s generally legal to deny a member of the public access to your store for any reason, as long as it’s not a prohibited reason under federal discrimination laws.
I get GS-12 pay. I’m part of a special project ran by a special agency to appear as a legitimate organic user and to slowly push for de-escalation of extremism one rationale comment at a time. Thanks for blowing my cover, jerk. 
high contrast black on white text on a monitor. This is bad. Monitors are not paper. Give me light grey text on black-grey background all day long. I have to custom color firefox just to use the damn internet.
Yes, that’s a great point. 100% pro thorium. China is leading commercialization of thorium reactors. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/thorium-molten-salt-nuclear-reactor-china
