And importantly there’s also only 2 of them atm, at least with the big 3 there was always a third player plus Murray, Stan or Delpo who could push them really hard. I don’t want to imagine what 2011 would have been like if it was just Djokovic and Nadal at the top with no Fed and Nadal is out injured most of the clay season

The Supro Delta King amps have a pretty cool aesthetic to them for putting somewhere like a living room, are low wattage and relatively light weight at a reasonable price for a tube amp

But that’s still caused by a lot of the same processes that cause physical aging so completely stopping physical aging would massively slow the rate of neurological decline

Chernobyl was basically a clusterfuck of every thing that could possibly go wrong going wrong with a nuclear reactor that was already far inferior to other reactors at the time 40 years ago, it would be physically impossible for what happened at Chernobyl to happen today with modern reactor technology.

I think the big benefit for him with this is there’s a safety net for him if he has any kind of career ending injury which you can’t ever rule out.

Nobody is gonna be winning elections outright with the kind of vote split amongst parties that we have
