From what I learned a few years ago, when vaping devices were relatively new, is don't let the battery go below 20% as a rule. Charging from an exhausted state repeatedly is what causes the risk. For reasons that escape me now, lithium metal can be formed under circumstances of re-charging under very low charge. TLDR: Always top-up a Lithium-ion battery. It likes to be charged up. Top-up is good; Deep discharge and re-charge will degrade the battery faster and more likely create the internal conditions for lithium metal and a fire to form. e2a it might be below a residual 2.5v that things can become risky. The operating voltage range is 3.3-4.3v I think. Most of my learning info on this subject came fro the Battery University site iirc.

In the UK, our health contribution burden is about £40/$50/month for a low earner (£15) and £250//$300/month for a £30K earner. What is the typical equivalent contribution in the US for those salary bands?

Governments need to be able to negotiate drug prices with the sellers. The point of contact for sellers should not be the doctors, as in private medicine; hello, oxycontin and fentanyl mess. money and dealing with patients should be kept away from each as far as possible. The decision-making on affordability should be whether the health system can pay for it and not the patient. Conversely, wealthy patients can't seek inappropriate treatments, like the analgesics mentioned, and threaten to move to a doctor that will supply them if refused. The ability to shop around can increase the risk of poorer health outcomes.

Thanks, Genady.

Is this principle universal and not just confined to BHs? I mean is time-reversal not allowed, full-stop?

So, one can't get out of a BH because time-reversal is not allowed? is that the basic upshot of that?

I rarely have issues with Brave browser on here. It's basically Chrome without the Google data gathering tools and has additional security options.

Cheers. My dimming memory replaced Union with United.

United collective of socialist republics, is what USSR meant?

The winners write the history books. "Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie", you mean.

It's often a psychosomatic effect from some mental conflict imo. The other activities weren't a sufficient committed distraction to take your mind off the ultimately nebulous pain. I tested myself with a yellow Smartie once, after telling myself repeatedly it was a super-duper analgesic, and it worked a treat.

Abortion is a luxury of the relatively rich. They can afford to not have them. In economically poor countries, children are required to help their elders in old age. That's the de facto support system there. Why do those unborn in affluent societies need to be saved, and their parents 'supported' when they aren't wanted? Is there some moral imperative to save every fertilised egg? Perhaps that altruistic support-energy is better directed at those babies already born in Africa etc.

Non-athletic transgenders are undergoing radical surgeries and endocrine treatments all the time, somewhere. Athletic trans are also doing these things on their own initiative. All professional bodies are trying to do is see if it fits in their criteria, and if not, then they are trying to establish a satisfactory level. Trans-people aren't doing anything that's considered 'onerous' to them. You seem to be projecting your internal issues as though they were theirs. Stop worrying for them, and let them get on with it... as they will anyway. Where it is potentially onerous is on the likes of Caster Semenya. She's a super-fit androgyne.

What is the exact wavelength of the colour yellow? Answer: It's a range between 570-585nm, but there is no clearly delineated line in to orange. In case it's gone over your head, things get fuzzy and merged the more details/resolution we pursue.

So what, we aren't keeping count. Each conflict is tragedy for everyone. The involved local populations rarely have a say whether they will fight. I'm sure nobody here is enjoying reading of the deaths of conscripted and regular Russian soldiers, who are dying for the vanity project of a powerful few. Military personnel do as they are told. A fighting unit cannot be effective unless everyone is precisely on the same page. Unfortunately, this can mean doing bad things if the commanders are bad. This is the case with Russia. e2a Let's not forget that only a very few, counting on one hand few, knew what was happening in the lead up to the war. Most of the Russian personnel thought the mobilisation was an exercise.

I like this. I like the thinking that even though one tries to create limited categories, there is always a 'reject' category (outliers) for things that don't conform to the prescribed categories. It's basically saying life is probabilistic, with some determinism, and generally can only be described in statistical terms. Absolutist, arbitrary positions can't reflect nature.

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Time - Pink Floyd Thought I'd cheer you up.

In this thread, I see nobody engaging in virtue signalling. If they were, they wouldn't be thinking as hard as they clearly are. Clearly a political subject from hereon because the biological aspects have been answered as far as present knowledge allow that we know of.

Yeah, democracy:

Everyone has their version of 'equilibrium', just as they have their own version of 'extreme'. It's what suits them. It's why we have science. An astrophysicist pontificates on something out of his expertise and you cite him?

Merde.

Izal toilet paper was just as bad in the British public toilets.

The two mentioned were the ones often cited in UK papers iirc.
