Reply to TIL that FIFA is a French abbreviation, it would be IFAF in English, and England weren't an original member despite creating the game. FIFA also now has more members than the UN by BXCellent

More members than the UN because members get the best bribes.

Reply to TIL Kola Coca was developed in Spain in 1880. A year after Kola Coca won an award in the US, Coca-Cola was introduced. by ElJamoquio

Go figure that more than one company would use some form of the Kola Nut in their brand name... It is also worth noting that Kola Coca is an alcoholic beverage

Can you not contact your doctor either by phone or online? Most of the time they can triage issues without seeing a person?

It makes sense if you are young and healthy. There is no evidence that going and getting a checkup prevents disease or changes heath outcomes. If you have a chronic disease that needs to be managed then that is different.

Reply to comment by themagicbong in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway.

Are you sure the individual account holder who risked losing everything during a bank failure cared?

He predicted that ships at the time were unsafe not the sinking of titanic... "wherein a steamer collides with another ship, resulting in a high loss of life due to an insufficient ratio of lifeboats to passengers."

The best way to communicate in a clandestine manner are ones that provided plausible deniability and ease of use. Dead drops and one time pads are great but VPNs and TOR are far more easy to implement and can be just as effective.

Abuse and post traumatic stress changes a persons brain. There is effective and lasting treatment of trauma. Anyone struggling with mental health problems and especially thoughts of harming yourself should call 988 and or seek out your own local mental health resources.
