Steam.

Always impressed that a nuclear power plant actually, doesn’t use much nuclear physics/engineering but is mostly a steam machine (with a top notch turbine)

Yes it already happened a couple of time. It starts boiling either when pulling-out or when putting the tea inside.

I did it when having no kettle,

Main problem is that you don’t have a good temperature control, sometimes, you get mid-walm water, sometimes you get boiling water.

Even worse, you have this physical phenomena where water is above 100 degree but doesn’t boil, and as soon you move-it it starts boiling. At best it’s impressive but it can move into burn quickly.

Minimum sentences sounds like pretty bad. There is cases of legally wrong, morally right. Think about killing your violent spouse which while not being within the limit of self-defence is pretty different from killing your spouse. It’s the job of criminal lawyer and prosecutors to come with reason to give a lighter/harder sentence and the judge job to listen to this arguments, compared with similar cases and sentence guideline to give the fairest sentence possible.

A person who seek therapy, pay penalties to the victim, has now a job, and already try to be a better person at the time of sentencing has nothing to do in jail

As any other problems, it’s an issue with political will

• Have minimum delivery fee to force people to visit physical store over “online shopping” and promote farmer marker and city-centre (village-centre) shopping so people interact with each other

• End-up US style suburbanization, these nice house in a quiet area are great to sleep-in but means you’re away from every social activity, and when you’re too young/too old to drive it turns into house arrest

• Increase subsidises for non profit-club, especially for the one having under 25 and above 65 members If you go playing scrabble, theatre or practice Karate you stop being lonely

• Carpooling parking and lanes to push worker to interact with people living nearby

There is no such things as good or bad guys it’s all a matter of perspective, the Taliban-like Christians and the billionaire believe they’re the good guys

the trick is that you can live this great moment with other RPG too, and most of them are IMO way better than the good old D&D, which is why I prefer different games

D&D

I’ve been playing RPG for decades, but play D&D less than once a decade, and my impression goes form awful to not worth my money/time. When I was young and broke, having to buy a player manual + a GM guide + a monster manual when tons of RPG would fit in a single book (Yes I know, clan-books for let’s say Vampire are also a money-pit), was out of my budget, then every-time I played D&D, feel like the story were not interesting as concept like alignment and some spells like detect lies would kill many interesting plot. Too which you had a lot of character optimisation often over the long-term (If you didn’t take that feat a low level you cannot have the killer feat at high level), let alone the people mixing RPG and miniature games

Sure you can have some funs game with D&D and play it differently but there is so many other game out-there (and so few time) , that why would I even bother joining a D&D game rather than another,

To my understanding US English use different words to differentiate whether you own or not your appartment/condo.

Which IMO is a bit weird, but languages have tons of weird stuff, so one less, one more

This shouldn’t be a political position, but an appointed civil servant one. You want the criminal justice to work on a reliable way through the country, and not let any populist politician apply their own exotic method.

I believe the US has tons of exemple of bad sheriffs but good speakers doing more harms than good

Captain obvious sneaking in, but There is tons of legit way to exercise, not just lifting weight in the gym, you can look for Volley-ball, Rock-dancing, or karate-class all of that is a legit way to exercise, which may even be cheaper and more fun than going to a gym.

Regarding your other points

• Get a T-shirt and either a short or a pair of legging, to start-with you don’t need any of these high-end expensive fabric (Which may help if you plan to climb an alpine summit or run a marathon, but not to lift some weight casually). Total cost should be in the 10-15 EUR range (It sucks to live in a world where clothing is built by slave-like-labour).

• Most gym would include a couple of coached session as part of their beginner package. But a typical program would be like warm-up on a threadmill/eliptical then a bunch of strength exercise either on machine or free weight, and 10 minutes of cool-down with stretching, you can modulate duration/intensity depending on your goals.

• You can do a lot at home with body weight. However, being in the Gym sometimes helps as you are in a dedicated place with a dedicated time-slot. ideally choose a place either near your home, or on your commute, if not you’ll never go there

Pen and paper works pretty well. Everyone who can read/write/count understand how it works and can be appointed as a political/citizen observer.

Moreover, if the count is public (not in the US but it’s the case where I vote) everyone can see the counting and get the number, all it takes is people having 2h to give to their country to help counting or just watch it.

This make fraud almost impossible

If you’re a student, applying for a student job it may work, but afterwards try something else it’s close from home, or I want to build experience in that field

Some form of exercise are better for your back than others.

Pain isn’t normal, and 30 is quite young so talk with a doctor, get a couple of physiotherapy session, and find a sport helping your back (and a whole strategy)

May-be not talking about trans agenda and transgenderism would make your post feeling less bigoted, and more open for discussion.

And in general denying basic human rights to people no matter the reason sucks

Location matters, most western democracies have a minimum age for criminal liability and 10 years old would be considered too young to face criminal justice

Obligatory reminder that “Gyms aren’t the only way to exercise”, find a sport you enjoy with people you like and you’ll spend time having fun rather than feeling like exercise is a chore. Most clubs gladly take adult beginner (who are the volunteers who’ll run the club in 10 years)

As you said, weight loss is in the plate rather than in the gym. But exercising helps with overall physical and mental health
