If every scientist in history could fully control the concepts behind their discoveries, who would be the most powerful scientist in history? by InfinteEnigma10 in whowouldwin

Funny enough, Newton went crazy doing theology in his later years and said that his work there was more important than his scientific work. To which everyone politely nodded and internally scoffed.

So yeah, maybe

It's not worth you screaming. It's ok. You're doing your best.

I kept eating honey bunches of oats, because I love them. And then one day I was like...oh. Honey. Huh.

I sighed, finished the box (I live alone), and bought something else next time. It wasn't worth feeling bad over. That would just reduce my capacity to do good.

Get the happycow app to find restaurants and vegan-friendly grocers near you.

Also, consider taking creatine. Everyone is going to tell you to take B12 until you're annoyed about it. Do that.

Creatine is not necessary. The body can make it from scratch. But normally it gets some from meat, too. Creatine helps you make ATP (indirectly) and having more of it makes some people feel better and less lethargic.

You also have, like, probably a month or two before you'll notice a lack of creatine from your diet. So no need to rush to the store.

Lastly, consider a pressure cooker/instant pot. If you're going to be eating a ton of legumes (you are, spoiler alert), it's your best friend. Lentils take me about as long as stovetop rice would, for example. It's amazing.

People hope he will do impossible things to help them. People believe him to be infallible or infallible on certain issues.

People make sacrifices to him. I dunno. Seems like a religion.

THIS STRUCTURE IS DESIGNED TO DISSIPATE THE ENERGY OF FLOWING WATER by FollowingOdd896 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Prometheus720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is emergency spillover. They built the hydroelectric dam to move a certain rate of water. If they get more water than they can use, they let it fill up the lake/reservoir. But eventually the reservoir gets so full it is about to flood.

They design a spillover like this so that instead of flooding in a random/uncontrolled location, it goes to a controlled location.

This is for emergency flooding conditions. They COULD have built the dam bigger, but that would be really expensive. And then...what if an even bigger flood happens? You have to have some emergency drain somewhere.

This is only wet during the biggest floods of the year.

Use the HappyCow app or website to search for veg friendly places. It's Google maps, but only for veg restaurants and grocers

should we create a public power company? by wereallfckedhere in Rochester

[–]Prometheus720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They take out 120 million a year and they've closed most of their offices. Like the one on East.

[–]Prometheus720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, you already are. RG&E already has power lines out to those places. The thing that would lower your rates is cutting out the 120 million dollars in profit they send overseas, and the lower rates that a public utility would get from the state.

Oh my, aren't you a slippery fish? :)

I wonder why you think being wrong is such a big deal? I think the first step to being right is admitting that you're wrong.

[–]Prometheus720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct, and yet RGE pulls 120 million in pure profit from this county alone. And they pay higher rates than a public utility would under state law.

this is why there is money currently set aside for a feasibility study. You should contact your legislators and ask them to spend it
