That feels like a privacy issue, maybe related to the topic of whether or not they can force you to unlock your phone? I don’t know where the current law is on that.

From the point of just moving the charge, yes, it’s called antimatter. Antielectrons are positive, antiprotons are negative. From the mass point of view though it would be a different kind of physics altogether since electrons have virtually no mass compared to the other two particles, and protons don’t exist as a particle-wave duality, so neither protons or electrons would act the same by just switching them out in a Bohr atom model arrangement. Maybe someone with more in depth knowledge can give additional or better reasons.

There is a solution.

True of many things we take for granted now. It would be a different world entirely. Another non-computer example would be the 3-point seat belt that Volvo left as an open patent, saving countless lives over the past decades.

Or a different “feel” when turned on vs. off (more resistance or something). They spent effort printing all that text to show where the switch was when a universal 0/1 would have made it clear.

I can’t think of any example of a button or switch that by itself can be clear if it is engaged or not. A button could be assumed to be on if in, but that isn’t always the case, like for example with emergency stops.

Clothing maybe. Jewelry or other inorganics.

So, lack of communication. That does seem to be a core part of problems in any place.

They are the more progressive state. So imagine how other states are in regards to caring much.

I actually saw this exact same thing happen to of all things, an older Kroger store. They closed the store and revamped the building as a new Harris Teeter. Same location and customers, but the prices were higher than previously, and the other competition nearby. The selection was also far worse. Many of the old employees went to other stores, so
I’m guessing the wages took a similar dive.

It’s possible we’d be in a better situation now. Lots of obvious things like not tossing out known facts about terrorism efforts and having a climate change awareness leadership. There’s much that would still be the same, like the system of consumerism that is the core of much of our problems. One person in a limited power seat can’t fix that, I’m not sure anything can outside of failure of the system itself. But I do think we would have at least avoided that one historic turning point that revved back up the military drive of the US. Even GWB’s administration was looking into ways of reducing the military into smaller, more mobile parts until suddenly we went into revenge mode. Or useful crisis mode.

Be sure to not have throwable things around you if you haven’t heard about this before. Especially the amount of money that was being reported missing right before 9-11-2000, and suddenly was never brought up again.

The 6 foot distancing that wasn’t really ever followed well was a compromise to keep things open for the economy while pretending we’re doing something. What amazes me is how there wasn’t any mandate to require air filtration at key points in places with crowds - like a Corsi-Rosenthal box, the DIY stores could have had these in the front with a how-to-build and they would have made tons of profit while supplies lasted. I guess 6-foot stickers and signage was easier and cheaper. Remember when some stores tried to go further and enforce one way aisles?

Genetics can be messy. Just organic chemistry in general is a complex subject.

And the new President doesn’t necessarily have to pick a VP, it’s just expected to fill the vacancy.

Well, it would be pretty suspicious given he’s the world’s healthiest man. /s

Save Southern Heritage Florida

Not all heritages are best to save. What would General Lee himself say both about trying to glorify that past as well as having statues to the losing side? I’ll bet supporters either don’t know, or aren’t honest enough to admit they do know.

Recycled water isn’t directly toilet water, so the title is misleading to bias the react and get the click. Isn’t much of urban water already recycled to some degree? And in reality, all water is “second hand” and has been somewhere else in its history on this planet. It’s only a question of it being processed naturally or otherwise to be potable to drink.

Let’s focus on the chemicals we’ve put into the world’s water that can’t easily (or at all) be filtered out. Toilet water is not the problem.

Climate changes…abruptly.
