I've been hurt a lot by people with BPD. I have provided a lot of emotional (and financial) support only to eventually be taken for granted and/or abused. Some people with BPD can be absolute monsters.

It's taken years of therapy and self healing to understand how they're hurting too and seriously don't understand how they're hurting others sometimes.

Just wish more people could learn to not lash out when they're hurt and seek healing. It's hard regardless if you've got BPD, PTSD, or whatever, but it's always the right way to go. Everyone deserves respect and understanding.

You're pretty much right about everything. Oxygen (especially as free radicals) is damaging to pretty much all your tissues, so your body moves it around in little bodyguard proteins (hemoglobin). These each contain 4 small iron molecules as part of the much bigger structure and doesn't rust or function like iron in any way. The iron is mostly used for electrons (and also damages your body if it's not inside the hemoglobin and causes more aging)

Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen, so it sticks to your blood cells and makes them useless for hours. Super dangerous.

Point being "oxidative stress" is bad for you and a major cause of aging that your body tries to fight. If your body doesn't fix this well, you age faster. If it repairs damage too well, you're more prone to cancer. Just wear and tear of using your body.

So to the original question of can this process be stopped... Absolutely! Hold your breath - the oxygen will stop coursing through your body and you will stop aging. Just ten minutes is enough to end aging indefinitely! Then you have to worry about other problems like body decomposition, but the oxidative stress will be cured!

Surprised to see a link to deseret news (Mormon News) but that's some pretty sound info. This isn't poker among friends, online gambling is a full blown tax on the poor and uneducated.

True... But one of those "energy losses" is producing the sounds itself. So theoretically if you play with them in a vacuum without gravity, they will bounce forever but produce no sound (no air to carry the waves anyway).

These are wired parallel, so it's supplying the same voltage as two batteries, but will only last half as long before dying. It wouldn't turn on at half voltage in series.

Still gonna have mild power problems though cause the battery isn't seated well and will possibly short out when you move the mouse.

It's pronounced bouqu-uhhhhhh!

That's a great point. I was thinking entirely based on their economic influence and not military.

The power the US has for raw destruction is scary and needs to be addressed very seriously. I mean they're still doing stupid stuff like dropping planes in the ocean and revealing bombing plans through Signal, but it's important to remember that a group of children literally hold nuclear codes. Thanks for that reminder!

Not the most powerful country, he's the leader of the most increasingly trivial and memeable country on the planet. He is personally turning it to shit and that will be his legacy for all time. Donepezil Don can't possibly comprehend how shitty he is, much less basic plot points from Star Wars...

Tariffs are advertised as helping domestic companies.

In actuality, they directly hurt foreign companies and the hope is that the unhurt domestics will then flourish.

If the tariffs collected were used to simulate domestic companies, this would actually be possibly beneficial to the economy.

However those tariffs are being pocketed by the rich (through tax cuts and money laundering through contracts and crypto).

These should not be listed as tariffs costs, they should be listed for what it is: "amount Trump's administration decided to steal from you based on your spending habits"
