Please share your experience, if any, for tasting foods that have been stored 15-20+ years

Prepping caught momentum decades ago. Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers were used widely by regular consumers since the beginning of this millennium. I'm sure there is a big number of people who still have stored food that is 20+ years old.

For the folks who stored grains like rice, wheat...etc. Can you please tell us what your experience was in terms of taste, smell, texture...etc?

It would also be helpful if you can share storage conditions like whether you used sealed mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, and the rough room temperature in which the food is stored?

Please feel free to share other people's experiences if you heard or seen any.

I found this video on YT. She says the rice was stored for 15 years. They couldn't tell the difference between a 15 year old rice and a 2 year old one. But she didn't say anything about room temperature which is the single most important factor here for food degradation.

Do nuclear power plants have any chance of competing with solar and BESS at this point?

It is abundantly clear that building and operating nuclear power plants is by far more difficult than building and operating any other power source.

Building and operating nuclear power plants need an army of highly specialized scientists, engineers and technicians. No other source of power comes close to that.

And then there is the safety aspect of it. It doesn't matter how safe the designs or operations are, there is still an intrinsic risk associated with these projects. There is a lot of things that can wrong, and when they do go wrong there will be extreme consequences.

This is on top of all that political and community backlash for such projects.

Now compare that with solar and BESS. These are orders of magnitude easier to build and operate with no need for that high technical or scientific specialization that nuclear requires.

Cost is also incomparable. It differs wildly by country and region, but it is consistent across almost all places that solar alone is 4-6 times cheaper than nuclear. Solar + BESS is also consistently cheaper than nuclear but not by a significant margin.

Let us take one case study. The Barakah Nuclear Plant in the UAE. Estimates put their LCOE somewhere around $70-100/MWh. Their LCOE is lower than many other places due to the plant being relatively new (2010s).

But their Al-Dhafra Solar PV has a LCOE at just $13/MWh! No good sources for their BESS projects but the figures will not be crazy high. Same goes across the countries in the region which have tens of different projects that have more or less similar LCOE.

China also doesn't make sense. Because they have an even cheaper LCOE for solar and BESS but they are also aggressively building nuclear power plants nationwide.

It could be said that solar is not good for all places. But building them in the right place and then transmit the power through long distance high voltage transmission lines will still be cheaper than nuclear.

It could be said that nuclear is a base electricity source that runs 24/7 and provides inertia. But these can be figured out with the right designs and protocols using solar and BESS.

Therefore, what is the world even doing here with nuclear? Shouldn't it be outdated at this point and replaced with solar and BESS?

A weird phenomena of the S types vs N types in the MBTI community

According to several studies, S types compose around 75% of the general population. While N types are around 25%.

Yet, the amount of engagement in the MBTI community, either on Reddit or other websites, is overwhelmingly dominated by N types, and by an extremely significant margin as we will see below.

For example, ISFJs are around 13% of the general populous, while INFJs are like 1.5%. But INFJ's engagement is around 8-10 times more than ISFJs. Which basically means that an INFJ is 80-100 times more likely to engage in the MBTI community than ISFJ.

This pattern is consistent with almost all other S types.

It gets even weirder, INTPs compose around 3.3% of the total population, but their representation in the MBTI community is like 22%. ESFJ compose around 12% of the population but only 0.8% in the MBTI community. If you do the simple math of dividing community share over population share, an INTP makes 104 times more contribution than an ESFJ. 104 times more!!!!!

Same goes with INTJs, INFJs and INFPs.

You can't say the reason is that those are introverts, because S types also have introverts who are tens of times larger in number.

What is your opinion on this phenomenon? Why do you think N types are much more drawn to MBTI than S types?

Mistyping cannot be the reason, because the numbers are overwhelming.

Do I miss anything here?

An update after implementing the community's recommendations

​

The below link is for the previous post.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastWarMobileGame/s/78I7XiCh0N

The recommendations are basically three:

1- Switch to Warleader.

2- All heros must have mythical radar.

3- Change the lineup as per the attached image.

As you can see from the report, my squad is now substantially stronger and I can see that in all these truck reports.

Timed attacks are a form of art! But the developers must find a way to counter them

​

Towards the end of Season 6, a rival alliance initiated this strategy against cities we had. We were completely defenseless despite having several whales on our side.

We had 40/40 squads defending the city against at least 300 incoming squads that all came within 3 seconds. Absolutely no time to react.

We were too strong of an alliance we could easily capture their cities without using this strategy. But despite that, once they use it you will lose no matter what you do.

Enemy whales can send all their 4 squads, while your whales can only send on.

I suggest the developers add some sort of a feature where you can send multiple squads to defend cities just like Winter Storm.

This is embarrassing at this point

This was in Winter Storm. I attacked around 8 times and failed in every single one of them.

​

On paper, this shouldn't have happened, so I'm not sure what is wrong with my setup.

الدليل الشامل لطريقة معرفة نمط البشر حولك عن طريق أكثر شيء يزعجهم

إذا كانت جودة النص منخفضة عند التكبير قم بتحميل الصورة على جهازك وستظهر بجودة أفضل بكثير.

صنعت صورة فيها خلاصة الخلاصة لعلم الأنماط. مفيدة للمخضرمين وكذلك للمبتدئين. إذا فهمته فستفهم علم الأنماط كله.

النقاط المذكورة مبنية حسب تجاربي الشخصية مع مختلف الأنماط في مختلف السياقات سواء عمل أو دراسة أو عائلة أو أصدقاء، ومبنية كذلك على تفسيري لكلام كارل يانغ فيها.

أول ما يجب عليك قراءته هو العامود في الأعلى على اليسار لكي تتعلم طريقة التنميط.

الطريقة التقليدية لتنميط البشر هي في تحديد الوظيفة الإدراكية الأولى عندهم عن طريق تصرفاتهم المعتادة، ولكن هذه الطريقة معقدة وطويلة وليست دقيقة في أكثر الأحيان لأن البشر عندهم قدرة على التكيف مع محيطهم والظهور بأكثر من مظهر حسب الظروف.

وبالتالي، بدلاً من ذلك نستطيع تحديد النمط عن طريق معرفة أكثر شيء يكرهونه لأن الانفعالات صعب إخفاءها مهما كانت الظروف..

ليس ضروري أن تنطبق جميع النقاط على الشخص، طبيعي أن يكون هناك تداخل أو مشاركة لبعض النقاط هنا وهناك مع شخصيات أخرى.

هذا الجدول يمكن كذلك استخدامه لتنميط نفسك، وتذكر أن الاختبارات الجاهزة غير دقيقة نهائياً وبعضها لا يتبع مودل MBTI أصلاً

راسلني على الخاص إذا أردت الملف الأصلي للتعديل عليه.

شاركونا آراءكم أو انتقاداتكم أو ملاحظاتكم. وهل تعتقدون أن بعض النقاط ينبغي تغيير مكانها أو لا تنطبق على الشخص؟

تفضلوا هذي أداة تطلع النمط بدون اختبار

الرابط تحت هو برنامج يشوف كل مشاركاتك في ريديت وبناء عليها يحدد نمطك.

اذا حسابك خاص، لازم تخليه عام ولو لمدة دقيقة واحدة فقط عشان يقدر البرنامج يشوف تعليقاتك ثم يحدد نمطك.

بالنسبة لي، الأداة حددت نمطي بدقة وأعطتني أمثله من كلامي تؤكد النمط:

في البداية أعلم أني في أرضكم وبين جمهوركم وبالتالي لا استبعد الردود المسيئة.

ماهي القواسم المشتركة بين كل الأديان؟ لديهم رب، لديهم أنبباء، لديهم وحي منزل لا تجوز معارضته، ولديهم أتباع يدعون الناس لدينهم ويدافعون عنه بشغف وشراسة وبعضهم يهاجم الأديان الأخرى.

هذه كلها موجودة في الدين الإلحادي وسأشرح أدناه كيف:

ربهم هواهم، أو ما يسمى بالطريقة العلمية Scientific Method.

يعبدونها ويقدسونها ويعظمونها كما يعظم المتدينين ربهم.

لديهم أنبياء ورسل ومبشرين يعملون خدمة لربهم ويظهرون ما بين كل فترة وفترة. هم طبعاً لا يقولون عن أنفسهم أنهم أنبباء، ولكنهم يتصرفون بالضبط كالأنبياء. ريتشارد دوكنز هو نبيهم الحالي. يجوب العالم شرقاً وغرباً ويدعوا الناس باجتهاد كبير لترك دينهم والدخول في دينه.

الاكتشافات العلمية هي وحيهم. بحيث كل فترة وفترة ينزل عليهم وحي جديد يغير عقيدتهم كما في مسائل الناسخ والمنسوخ عند اتباع الأديان الأخرى. ولا يجوز التشكيك بهذا الوحي وإلا فستطرد من الوسط الأكاديمي أو العلمي.

لديهم اتباع ترونهم بأنفسكم هنا. لا شأن لهم سوى مهاجمة الأديان الأخرى والطعن فيها. هم لا يتلقون أموال على إضاعة وقتهم في مهاجمة الأديان، وإنما يفعلونها تطوعاً ورغبة من عند أنفسهم. تماماً مثل اتباع الأديان الأخرى.

وبالتالي، الإلحاد ليس إلا دين جديد عمره لا يتجاوز ٢٠٠ سنة. ومثله مثل بقية الأديان المنحرفة سيأتي عليه زمان تدور فيه عجلة التاريخ في غير مصلحتهم.
