@RagingDogFart@SpillTheMemes nah it's not the same... Mexican and Japanese cooking methods are mutually exclusive. You'll never taste anything as amazing as tacos de guisado in the streets of Mexico City... but beware... Moctezuma will have his revenge, sooner or later.
Charlie Kirk’s death is a true loss for humanity. He devoted himself to defending the principles of truth, life, morality, and love. He exposed the seams of an ideology and indoctrination that are dividing a great nation. In the end, he gave his life in defense of the truth.
@FreckledLiberty it's not about career, it's about principles, the ones you learn at home, and that still prevail in spite of all the bs society values out there
A remarkable initiative that brings together the strengths of both public and private sectors, accompanied by vital financing efforts to foster sustainability.

In a CNBC interview a few years back, Warren Buffet relayed a story of a time shortly after he and Bill Gates first met.
Gate's father asked a group of roughly 20 people to write down on a sheet of paper the one word that they thought accounted for their success.
Without seeing what the other wrote, both Buffet and Gates chose the same word: Focus.
With this in mind, I wondered: How they would advise someone to choose what they place their focus on?
In search of this answer, I ran across an article by author Scott Dinsmore which describes Buffet's 5-step framework for narrowing your focus to what really matters:
Your "Avoid At All Costs List."
The story is framed as a conversation between Buffet and his pilot (no idea if this is actually what happened) but you'll get the point nonetheless.
Here goes:
Buffet jokingly said to his pilot: "The fact that you're still working for me, tells me I'm not doing my job. You should be out going after more of your goals and dreams."
Warren then asked his pilot to take the following steps: (You should do the same)
• List your top 25: Make a list of the Top 25 things you want to do over the next few years or in your lifetime.
• Choose your top 5: Review your list and circle the Top 5 items that are most important to you. This is critical––you can only pick 5.
• Make a plan: Now that you have your Top 5, it's time to make a plan. How will you start working on these? Who do you need to enlist help from? When can you start? Hint: the answer should be now!
• Know your priorities: Now that you've made your Top 5 plan, let's talk about the other 20 items on your list: Buffet asked his pilot, "What is your plan for completing those?" The pilot stated that he word work on those intermittently, as he had time, since they were not part of the Top 5.
To the pilot's surprise, Buffet said: "No, you've got it all wrong. Everything you didn't circle just became your 'Avoid At All Costs List.' No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you've succeded with your Top 5."
•Be ruthless with your Top 5 list: I think most of us would have probably answered Buffet in a similar manner to his pilot. I mean, those other things are still important, right?
Well, according to Buffet (and seemingly Gates as well), the ability to focus on the few things that are the most important to you––what you really want––is the key to outsized results.
Letting yourself be distracted by the 20 (less important) things is why you never reach your potential on the 5 that matter the most.
For someone like me (with more ideas than time) this exercise was extremely helpful.
Take 20 minutes today and write out your own list and see what you come up with. You might be surprised at the results.
@IEA As much as I love the idea of renewables taking over all the world's energy needs, I don't see a short term technical development which would enable this reality. This is a multifactor problem, that demands a fast transition, but a transition nonetheless. Won't happen in 2y IMO
Great news! though in my opinion it's still not enough, we'll need to overcome several technical limitations for renewables to substitute all of the world energy needs. And even then you'll still need reliable energy sources to meet the demand in these extraordinary times.
Renewables are on track to meet all the growth in global electricity demand over the next two years.
And by 2024, renewables are set to account for over a third of the world’s power generation.
