The department of education and various retardations like implicit and systemic bias being enshrined in the education system in the 90's are the two ways in which our education system was dumped in the shitter. When you refuse to suspend or expel the students who constantly disrupt class and intimidate other students and make fun of them for wanting to learn, the learning by students goes waaaayyyy down. Then of course there was, and in some districts still is the complete idiocy the composes common core math and whole word learning, which has utterly tanked reading and math ability with second order effects impacting everything else.

South Africa is about two steps away from total collapse due to the mismanagement of infrastructure and water resources since the ANC came to power with the population increase over the past 30 years and the reduced rain in 2016, 2019 and 2020 exposing just how bad the situation is. The 'official' estimate is they currently lose 30% of their drinkable water due to leaks and theft, which means the actual amount is almost certainly higher*.

*Poor government numbers should always be assumed to be worse than they are, and good ones better absent oddball situations. The magnitude of the amount depending on the local corruption and the significance of the effect on the government workers if they provide numbers their superiors don't like.

It's good that vaccines are optional because they're not always made by those who have your best interests in mind. They see you as less than human, and are just as psychopathic as Sam Altman, and worse is that this goes into your bloodstream and is not a screen you can turn off and walk away from. If only more people knew how bad things really are.

I recall an explanation of charge separation in clouds when waterdrops would form a thin layer of ice which would shatter in tiny pieces. This would leave a charged waterdrop behind. The ice fragments and the waterdrop would move at very different speeds and this would lead to separation of charge.

I wonder if those water drops have the right charge for corrosion.
