@profstonge Sad to see conservative men number going down.
These are good men who are not willing to have a family until they feel they can support them.
@zerohedge America is as delusional as Israel if it thinks a siege is a ceasefire.
I don't like the Iranian regime but that doesn't mean i have to swallow the total bs being fed us by Trump and Netanyahu.
@MrCommonSense01@GBPolitcs She is polling in 3rd place.
The program is about the by election not a national election.
If your argument is based on biased delusion maybe your wrong.
@SimonDixonTwitt As you say it is what it is.
I would rather have those not ready to swim in the deep end with us to at least paddle in the kiddies corner, they will learn.
Another one bites the dust.
Cantor, Lutnick, & the financial-industrial complex are wrapping as many Bitcoiners as possible into collateralized debt obligations for the financial-industrial complex.

@OliKloz@Emma_A_Webb Just because you belong to a cult don't assume we all idolize those we agree with on a particular issue.
Some of us form our own opinions and don't adhere to a woke rule book.
@McLovin_Bish@DrJStrategy I'm pissed that i give my energy and time in exchange for something that can be printed out of thin air on the whim of a cabal of bankers.
I'm pissed that hard or desirable assets are inflated in price because we can't save in what we earn.
@McLovin_Bish@DrJStrategy I'm not ecstatic about the government having control over our money.
I'm appalled at a group of bankers having control over our money.
That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.
Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.
The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.
Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.
Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.
The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.
