Just kill me, before my brain commits suicide after reading more of those “messages”.

This is the second of his brain farts, where I seriously thought: ‘nope,this one has to be a troll’. And surprise: it’s real!

I mean, big fat hug???

The difference is that each ion could also occur from a different source salt besides sodium chloride. In a system with only pure water and pure sodium chloride, your proposal would work.

You could have e.g. sodium chloride and sodium carbonate in there or more likely sodium citrate, since you said sports drink. Those sodium ions are the same and indistinguishable, regardless of source. People who have to limit their sodium intake should not need to calculate the sodium content of each salt and then sum that up. Instead you get one sum value directly, which people can interpret much better.

In addition I think the reason is that they simply make a ICP-MS measurement and get one sodium cation value and the same for the other ions. Therefore they cannot combine the values,to a salt because they didn’t determine the sodium chloride salt content, only sodium cation and chloride anion content separately.

I also haven’t experienced it myself, so I should have added that I don’t support that view due to my own lack of evidence.

No idea about quokk, but for db0: from what I read here, the blocking of the tankie triad seems too be pretty effective, so in order to be able to still bother the rest of us, some were looking for alternative servers. And Db0 had the problem of being very open, so they went there. People then complained that more and more db0 users are tankies that can’t discuss faithfully.

Yes, there were no camps when the Nazis took power, but it’s not like they took their time opening them:

Wikipedia on Nazi concentration camps:

The first camps were established in March 1933 immediately after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.

Kind of in German? Because the last “word”-part in the word determines what it really is and the separate parts of the word stay with the same meaning most of the time, so the end result is often connected to the meanings of the word parts it is made up of.

As example:

Fahr = driving-related
Fahrt = the drive
Plan = map, plan
Bus = … bus

Fahrplan = timetable for trains, busses etc
Planfahrt = drive that is according to some plan (instead of outside of the planned timetable)
Busfahrplan = timetable for busses

Well, there are two songs which I think answer your question:

We didn’t start the Fire

And

Besuchen sie Europa, solange es noch steht

Which is a song about visiting Europe before it will be destroyed by the then assumed imminent nuclear war.

The Wizard of the Emerald City and it’s series from Alexander Melentyevich Volkov. The first story was a nearly 100 % ripoff of The Wizard of Oz and later books also contain some ideas from the original stories from Baum, but Volkov also created a lot on his own in the sequels. And I love the world he created. I especially like that villains were portrayed in a manner that made sense. While there also were some archetypical “I’m capital E Evil” the character of Urfin was fascinating to me as a child, as it was one of the first instances of a multidimensional charactersi experienced as child. He was an overly ambitious but smart person in a fairy tale village where everybody else was content with their simple life. And that discrepancy was the start of his road to villainhood.

Oh for sure! I just thought in their heads was a certain kind of business savvyness to reach their position. But it seems they just hear the echo of their own voice.

This is so dumb. I never believed the hype around CEOs, but I still thought they needed to have something, anything, to reach their position.

But the artificial dumbness time really reveals how many of them had simply dumb luck and no morals. And that was apparently enough for all of human history because their underlings protected them from acting too stupid. And now they think they don’t need those underlings anymore. Well, at least I can laugh myself to death before the climate wars.

And told him to read more theory!

The translation is a bit off, OP posted the original German version and there it said that the king says not to press the red button, the one that destroys the whole world. So you are right that pressing the button will kill him too.

Knights of Sidonia has great visuals and lore ideas but boring storytelling and characters.

Argento Soma had interesting aliens and story but the robots were pretty basic looking.

Bokurano has great visuals and very interesting story, but it has some heavy topics. (Epstein related…) Also I think the manga is better, but the intro to the anime is worth watching just for the song.

Fullmetal Panic has great robot battles, but you might not like the combination of highschool sillyness and serious war story.

Gankutsuou has wonderful visuals and only one Mecha battle in it, but that qualifies it ;). It is an anime adaption of Count Monte Christo

Kenran Butou Sai: The Mars Daybreak has a nice combination of adventure setting and Mecha fights.

Kind of. Spoiler free version for Rebuild: Shinji grows up and learns to take responsibility.

Anno is not involved as far as I know. But yes, the Rebuild movies gave the whole series a proper ending. Continuing now has the very high chance of destroying that, in my eyes.

Honestly I’m annoyed at Shield Hero for the possibilities they wasted. Make a defensive hero? Emphasise the importance of support and team work in a fight instead of raw power on a single individual? Naahhh, screw that! Let’s give the support hero the uberpowerful aggressive mode and make him the messiah and single saviour.

Arrrghhh, whyyyyy?!?!??
