Pedophilia is a mental illness, if the people who want to molest children are prevented from doing so in one way, they will just invent a new way to do it. The only way to get rid of those people is to wipe them out completely.

I looked up the definition and got pic related. So again, it's relative.
Even Wikipedia doesn't conflate right-wing politics with monarchism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics
>Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property, religion, biology or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies.
Hierarchy? Yes. Monarchy? Not necessarily.
There's a list of positions and none of them are "pro-monarchy" explicitly. The section on the "anti-communist" position of right-wing politics mentions how communism was at odds with monarchies in history and that placed conservative elements on the side of the monarchies against communism in those times, but that's it. No mention of any pro-monarchy position inherent to right-wing politics, least of all in the United States.

Entomophagy and Coprophagy in Undifferentiated Schizophrenia
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3168083/
Coprophagia or the ingestion of feces, considered to be a variant of pica, has been associated with medical disorders like seizure disorders, cerebral atrophy, and tumors and with psychiatric disorders like mental retardation, alcoholism, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, fetishes, delirium, and dementia. But entomophagy or the practice of eating live or dead insects as food by humans has only been reported as part of eating habits by some cultures in the world and not in association with any medical or neuropsychiatric disorders. Till date, there is no report in medical literature of entomophagy as an association with any neuropsychiatric or medical illnesses. Coprophagy and entomophagy has not been together reported as well. We describe the first ever case report of a 19-year- old male patient diagnosed with undifferentiated schizophrenia and associated with both entomophagy and coprophagy. His schizophrenic symptoms, the entomophagic, coprophagic behaviors improved with olanzapine therapy. Entomophagy and coprophagy, two very unusual human behaviors, can be seen in association with schizophrenia.

Suppose I have an accomplice who is the head of the government of a country. We both decide to privatise the central bank of that nation and become its sole shareholders by changing the constitution.

(i) What will the rich/oligarchs of that country do as I am certain they will not abide by this decision:

1. Now that I can literally print money to buy shares in their companies on the stock exchange.

2. Buy government bonds/debts.

3. Loan money to the government.


(ii) Are there any bad repercussions to this?

Public/private is a legal fiction like that of civilian/not civilian. Made up to distinguish between government/not goverrnment. Doesnt really mean much.

NOAA admits that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas and has no effect on the climate. According to NOAA:
>The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around
>4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today,
>the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, &
>large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
Which is to say that even though CO2 is the same now as it was 4.3 million years ago, the climate today is far, far different and much colder than it was 4.3 million years ago and this is because atmospheric CO2 levels have no effect or undetectably little effect on the Earth's climate. Its also worth noting that atmospheric CO2 levels have been substantially above where they have been in the recent past for over 100 years now and there has been no substantial change in the climate during that time, which only further proves NOAA's assertion that CO2 doesn't affect the Earth's climate and that CO2 is not a meaningful greenhouse gas.

Cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo, 15 days later than last year, 5 days later than average

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/29/japan/society/cherry-blossoms-bloom-tokyo/

Cherry blossoms finally burst into bloom in Tokyo on Friday after heavy rain in the morning, marking the latest blooming in over a decade.
The declaration of the blooming made by the Meteorological Agency came 15 days later than last year and five days later than in an average year. Private forecasters had also expected this year's bloom to come much earlier.

Friday’s blooming is the latest in Tokyo since 2012, when cherry blossoms were declared to have blossomed on March 31, according to the agency.

Cherry blossom forecasting is big business in Japan. As early as in January, companies start to issue forecasts for when cherry blossoms will first bloom and reach their peak.

The weather agency, which began forecasting the annual bloom in 1955, sets a government standard for observing cherry blossom trees. For consistency, the meteorological agency only uses data gathered from the Somei-Yoshino variety, which produces pale pink blossoms.

If a watermill like picrel floats on a river and creates energy by having absorbing the force of the current into its blades does that slow down the flow of the current?
If yes could you apply them to avoid fast flowing rivers washing through their beds?
If no could you put endless amounts of them into any river and have your power output limited only by the length of the river?
By that same thought could you place many dams behind one another as long as the water keeps flowing downhill and magnify the power output?

>>16135856
they do create a wake of turbulent air, but as to whether they decreases the power of turbines if they're all in a row "there is significant uncertainty"
>>
>>16135755
>>If no could you put endless amounts of them into any river and have your power output limited only by the length of the river?
The energy in a river is limited by the flow rate and vertical drop, not the length. How much water drops how far are the relevant factors.
>>
>>16136196
to me it looks like they are messing with the position of water vapor in the air current, but the air itself is not turbulent that way. it can't have such a long stream of fucking turbulent air, it should settle/mix, but water vapor seems to be lifted or something
>>
>>16135755
You can either build two dams one at the end of the stream and one in equal distance to the end and the source or you can build one dam at the end of it alone. Physically, it has no effect and you can not extract more energy from building more dams.

The reason that the conservation of energy, which is a consequence of the conservative nature of the gravitational force. If you built two dams, what happen is that you'd lower the kinetic energy of the water and it'd flow more slowly.

>>16135757
This is not a good analogy. Because the rocks are not turbines, which extract the energy from the stream via engines. They're carried along the stream and - due to conservation of momentum - do neither reduce nor increase the energy of the water.
