You don’t get a bipolar 1 disorder without a manic episode lasting 7 days. That would be: little to no sleep, on top of the world, no inhibition, for a week or more. If you haven’t had that it could be bipolar 2.

Rivian’s financial statements provide insight into its per-unit losses, though calculating an exact figure requires analyzing multiple variables. The company’s cost of goods sold (COGS), which includes direct production expenses, regularly exceeds revenue, leading to negative gross margins. According to its latest SEC filings, Rivian reported a gross loss per vehicle of approximately $39,000 in 2023, though this figure fluctuates based on production volume and operational efficiencies.

Not exactly a number they put in a press release, but as a publicly traded company it is published quarterly.

Rivian is losing about $30k per vehicle, but with much lower production numbers.

In addition to particulate nucleation sites, which help precipitation, combustion also creates new H2O vapor by consuming oxygen and freeing hydrogen from its carbon bond in fuel. While most may view this image as a simple CO2 equation, that’s not weather modification; it’s climate modification.

In an off-grid mountain community in the southern Sierra, a lifelong resident said in the pub that it used to rain every afternoon in the summer when he was young. Compared to now where it rains about every 10 days. By my estimate that was about the time smog was at its worst in the state, a time of 10mpg and muscle cars. I wonder if his memory was already an altered condition from natural.

You are not your thoughts, nor are you your emotions. You are the observer of those things. Somebody presses your buttons, but it is your choice whether or not those buttons fire. For example if a child said some hurtful things to you, would it have the same impact as an adult? I should hope not. What is stopping you from viewing somebody as a child, especially if they are acting like one?

In addition to cardio, try breathing and cold water. Always breathe through your nose, even when running. Try to breathe through your nose as a cold shower takes your breath away. Or go for the full ice bath. An ice bath tells your body (the producer of anger emotions and chemicals), “hey, I’m in control here, you are not good at assessing threats”. The mind follows the breath, or the breath follows the mind.

But if I’m being honest I’ve always had a hot temper, and what is really helping me is Lithium. It allows me to observe anger without being overwhelmed by it.

Airdrop is two people at a time. Say we had a group of 8 people I don’t want to do 7 air drop exchanges to get all the photos.

I wanted something like this for weddings or group camping type events for sharing photos to multiple others at once.

Eliminate income tax, instead tax assets. Assets like cars, houses, farmland, stocks, metals, and savings. 4% annually under $1M, increasing to 8% annually at $100M, and 12% annually over $1B.

What I wish was more clear to me is how the hormones would have control over me. I wish I learned to control acne through diet, and testosterone through exercise. Those years of my life were challenging because it felt like my body was controlling me, not the other way around. It’s hard to focus on school when the mind always drifts back to sex.

By the way there’s no hair on a human that requires shaving.

We need to regulate vehicles by mass, which is directly proportional to the tires. Pay $0.10 per pound of vehicle annually.

Your son chose you as a mother, and you’re doing an amazing job. If you date it’s for you, not to find a stepdad for your son. You are both whole and complete at this moment. It will get easier soon as your son becomes a man. Maybe he will get a job to help out (and give you time for yourself).

My mom had kids as a teenager too, and she didn’t really get time for hobbies until all us kids were moved out. No big deal she has plenty of time for hobbies now.

Enjoy yourself, with your son, now. Drag him on outdoor adventures. Try new things.

No I’m calling for a catalyst for a peaceful revolution.

Low cost gas is like a societally addictive substance. There is always pain in weaning. Humans existed before gas cars and we can persist without them.

I think it would create pressure for UBI, public transit, and affordable housing. But you know business as usual is working just fine.

Gas should be $10 per gallon. 5-8 cents is nothing. We’re running on borrowed time.

The numbers suggest it’s not an act of desperation. Deer eat small birds. Pika eat meat. Apparently squirrels too.

There are numerous videos on YouTube of deer eating songbirds.

No, personal computers made us productive enough for a 4 day work week. We’re down to like 24 hours per week now. I think many would enjoy four 6-hour days, while others may prefer three 8-hour days. And a rare few might want to work two 12-hour shifts.

When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

That’s awesome. I had a second floor Mitsubishi mini split installed and it was about $8k. The electrical was probably the most time consuming. Nice work!
