Modern li-ion batteries in modern tech get stressed out more than older ones.
Current li-ion are build with much smaller tolerances, at the edge of bursting out in flames by themselves (see Samsung Note 7), just so they can put as much energy in as small of a volume as possible.
And tech simply use up more power, drawing more amps during usage, and then you pump more amps during recharge, which also stresses out batteries far more. A smartphone can fast charge with multiple amps of power, while for maximum battery life you wouldn't want to push more than 500mA.

The best explanation I've heard comes from women MRAs.
Basically, women are and aren't lying about this. When they're single, they're more likely to pick the guy on the right for a fling, a sexual escapade, whatever you want to call it.
But if they're in the mindset of settling down, when they think about someone they want for a long term relationship/marriage, they will pick the guy on the left, who is still decently fit, but looks like he'll do other stuff with his life other than lifting weights, so he's more likely to be a good provider.
It's basically a rehash of the old alpha/beta male thing. They'll fuck around with the bad boy "alpha", until they decide they want to settle down, at which time they pick a "beta" that is loyal, will provide for them, that may even raise children that aren't biologically his.
Something else to note, which I haven't seen anyone address yet, women's preferences change if they're on the pill. This has been studied. And I suspect it would influence women's behavior into picking the guy on the left, because the pill essentially tricks their body into thinking they're pregnant. So hormones are gonna force them into the "I need to settle down" mindset.
@VD15 I'd honestly just offer the guy a B+ on the spot, no need to take the exam, just for being that smart to do this.

I've stopped using Twitter since about 2018-2019. So I honestly wouldn't know just how bad it is.

They're not journalists. They're propagandists.

The only way the numbers make sense to me is if:
1) you assume every single one of those 22 million fentanyl pills results in an overdose
2) by "saving" you also include family members "saved" from having to grieve a death of a loved one.
@a1ba I don't know who this Johann is, but I will find him, and kill him. And not in Minecraft.
For legal reasons, that was a joke.

It doesn't matter if I'm for legal immigration or not. I'm TELLING YOU that Canadians WILL NEVER see immigration the same way you do. And it is LITERALLY America's doing that Canadians are privileged in this way that they WILL NEVER see the worst case scenario of unfettered immigration because they literally will never experience it due to geography and the facts of them having only 1 neighboring country that protects their borders by default.
Flying people in the middle of the night is jack shit compared to actually having a physical border with a 3rd world country.
So do yourself a favor, and find other arguments with which to convince Canadians, cause unless you sell Alaska to Venezuela, or back to Russia, or some other shit, Canada WILL NEVER experience immigration the say way you do.
@j Fine, don't read. Remain a stupid moron that doesn't understand why you can't appeal to Canadians via immigration.
@j
Bruh... I'm not Canadian, and one doesn't need to be Canadian to understand that the situation is very different between Canada and USA on the migration issue.
Canada doesn't have the illegal immigration problem that US has, because they don't share a border with a third world country, like US does. You don't get into Canada by illegally crossing a border, like you do in US. And you can't even get in via boats, like in EU or UK. It's not as easy to get into Canada as it is for US. As such, Canada doesn't get the crime issues from illegal immigrants.
The way you get into Canada is by plane. Which means you need 3 things: a plane ticket, a passport and a visa.
The plane ticket requirements ensures you have a bit a money and ensures your ID gets checked.
A valid passport ensures you're not a known criminal in your country of origin, because most countries out there don't give passports to criminals, so that they don't flee from justice.
A visa requirement ensures that Canada itself does a minimal amount of background vetting. Even if someone goes to Canada with just a travel visa, and overstays their visa, the background check needed to get a visa still ensures that the immigrant is of higher quality than a large amount of illegal immigrants that come to US via the border with Mexico.
You can't appeal to Canadians via immigration simply because the immigrants they get are simply of a higher quality on average. They don't get the same crime problems that US gets.
Trump didn't win twice on migration because "they took our jobs", he won because "they're eating our cats, they're eating our dogs". You won't convince Canadians with "Indians are stealing your jobs", because that wasn't what ultimately convinced Americans either. And as long as Indians don't bring in drugs on mass, don't traffic children, don't commit gang violence, and don't commit massive amounts of other crimes, no Canadian will give a crap that Indians are there in massive numbers, and will just look at you like you're a crazy racist for caring, and they'll ignore you.
Canadians are very privileged, and they may very well be the nation with the most secure border in the world, because of the single act of US buying up Alaska from Russia back in the day. This is why it is ineffective to bring up immigration to Canadians. It will never work for them as an argument simply because the mere existence of USA provides them the best border security in the world by default.

Yes, you basically get put into groups of interest, and get fed the same videos that everyone else in those groups gets fed.
But at times, you get things that don't fit neatly in those groups of interest either, and I have had countless occasions of getting videos I wasn't interested in and didn't watch, but then I see people on here talking about or referencing that video. So from what I can tell, every once in a while YouTube throws a couple of random videos to everyone, to try to get people to expand their areas of interest, and get them to watch even more stuff.

While true, people severely overestimate how personalized YouTube's algorithm is.
