Have you heard of the 6 geniuses? It is a book that proposes that there are 6 areas of "managing" one's self and others, and some are areas of genius and some are areas of frustration and some are competencies.

The book also proposes that spouses who are compatible tend to have complimentary areas of genius and frustration.

More to your point: if someone has an area of frustration to discern what course of action will fix, and you have that as an area of genius, then be kind about it as you probably got married because there are other ways you complement each other.

Evolution selects against this. You would have to release millions on a regular basis to consistently fight the "biological fitness" of self reproduction

Tldr; earth is not a perfect sphere. Rotation of the earth makes the middle fatter. Density of areas of the earth make gravity change. The lowest density area is off the coast of India and it confused people since 1948. We recently did a computer Sim of 19 scenarios across 150m years of tectonic plate movement and magma density and temp. A couple scenarios predicted "plumes of magma" with different density under that area. The models didn't accurately predict some other known tectonic and volcanic activity, so really we just have a really good preliminary theory.

Tldr; woman plays "catch me if you can" while having an active infectious tuberculosis diagnosis. After a car crash and ER visit, she was convinced of the importance of treatment. She consented to treatment and is now released and healthy.

Battery electrolysis of h2O into o2 and h2 that these engage in need a consistent power source. Either the power source is the core of the earth spinning, or there is some electrical something making these nodules consistently split.

I'll be curious about it, but I think that climate change may slow more from lower cost land surface batteries than these electrolysis water splitting batteries and associated ecosystems. Aka I won't hold my breath... ba dum tsss

I think the tritium "preignition" has to be replaced every 10 years.

I think they got a daily vinegar ration to soak the sponge and make it less smelly. Some believe that the sponge offered to christ on the cross was a poo vinegar sponge.
