What rule was created because of you or someone you know?
Every third shift is an undesired shift.
I arranged my six weeks of time off accordingly spread evenly around the year.
Now the undesired shift gets postponed and I have to tske that in account too when making long term appointments.

Riot police enters Turkey's largest opposition party to oust the party leadership

Never had a chance but too important as a trade and security partner. Iirc Turkeys big population would give it disproportional power in the EU. Borders wouldn't be a problem anymore as the EU has also Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and in future Armenia as membership candidates.

Difference between store bought blueberries and ones from nature
There's no difference in health value per berry. Smaller berries gives you more bang for your buck.

Cable management isn’t good
Pull the shelf away from the wall.
Thread the power strip through from a side.
Use one column of shelfs for connecting things to the power strip.
This way you can easily connect things to the power strip from behind.
Cables will be vertical and excess can be left hanging.
If you use the second row from below, you can easily connect things temporarily. But the lowest row would allow for a better look if the power strip is only used for permanently plugged devices.

Why don't planes have a switch beside the call button that you can choose between "wake me up for meal service" or "leave me alone?"
Thanks to you I remember now why I will never book food or drinks.

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.

I imagine if the slightest thing seemingly goes wrong it could have a snowball effect.
People rushing in panic in any direction out of fear or curiosity.
Landing a plane that size is hard enough but with all the mass tumbling around makes it even more unpredictable.
The seatbelts aren't for your safety allone, they also keep your mass in place so the plane doesn't react unpredictably.
Also a big plus if during the turbulences you're not getting flailed by the whirling around extremities of a beltless corpse or getting crushed by its torso.
Remember, force equals mass times speed and there can be a lot of accelerstion during turbulences.

Woman can only give birth every year.
A single man on the other hand might impregnate women each and every week, from maturity till his heart stops beating.
So woman held considerable power in any society and it would only be natural for men to seize the means of reproduction.
I think that's what happened, historically speaking.

Legendary siege.
When their supplies ran low, the gauls let the women and children leave the city.
Caesar didn't let them pass through the siege so with no water they all perished within days bedween the city walls and the inner siege ring.

Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes.

How would it change society if we knew that our entire solar system will be wiped out in a foreseeable future.
In 5 years, in a generarion, this century?
I think most people would draw the line at this millennia.
Historically speaking, the world of our species has always been in a turmoil of great changes with pockets of order and safety.
During the cold war people lived with the fear that everything could come to an end at any time.
Only the ignorant seemed to be unaffected.

Mf formed a tetrarchy.
He saw that the empire was simply too big to for one emperor and nominated a co-emperor and both together nominated juniors called caesars.
Hence the name tetrarchy.
Both caesars were to become augusti themselves and nominate new juniors to follow them.
The choice was to be made by ability and merrit.
After diocletian retired and forced his co emperor to retire with him, so the tetrarchy could work, family loyalties caused the death of the system. It was never tried again.
Diocletians failure was not to see, that the aristocrats were unwilling to ignore family ties.
Btw.
Sulla wasn't an emperor but considering in his time he had all the strings of the republic in his hands, I'd like to add him to the list.
He retired to his villa in naples in lived his days out, if we believe our sources, in a litany of sexual perversions.

Cowboys in westerns always have standoffs because the one who draws first attempts murder, to draw second is justified self-defense
Reply in thread
I saw a youtube of a modern cowboy shooting at stuff.
His hand is already near the gun, like in western movies.
When the signal comes, Iirc he simultaneously bends his knees, gets in kind of a hunching position and barely pulls the gun out rotating it in hip height towards the target and shoots.
Unfortunately, I have no link nor a name to the channel.
It really isn't like it's depicted in those pirate movies or the aristocratic era dueling movies.

Isn't it weird that we'll never (ever?) talk about lightnings as a potential renewable energy source ?

1,400,000,000 strikes earth every year
According to https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/thunder-and-lightning/facts-about-lightning
That would be barely 45 strikes each second.
That's four magnitudes away from your cited goal of powering earth.
The reason noone talks about harnessing lightning as a power source is the diminishing returns on top of its unreliability and it being demanding on the tech it would need - which we know for decades now.
My conclusion is OP didn't research google his question first.

Always Be Soaking

Avoid metal stuff while soaking and don't add salt before they're cooked.
It can harden the hull.
You may add some sodium bicarbonat to soften the hull but you need to experiment with the cooking time.
A pressure cooker is nice but you either need to calculate in the time it needs till you can open the pot.
Or you take the easy route and cook them till they're done and you terminate the cooking process by cooling the pot in water.

You can hold a poop while peeing but you can't hold a pee while pooping.
Well, brown and yellow rarely pour out simultaneously.
Most people first get the crayon out then comes the juice.
