"We can try to make some simple Physics computation here. We can use Bernoulli's equation (which is basically just the principle of conservation of energy). In order for this amazing trick to work we need the urine to reach the point of zero (ideally a bit more than zero) velocity at a height higher than the head of a regular dude. Translated into the Bernoulli equation it reads:
0.5v2 > gh => it works => v > sqrt(2gh)
with v the initial velocity of the urine, g the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m.s-2), and h the height from the penis to the top of the head. Now I have measured this height for me and it’s around 1 meter. This means that I would need to pee at 4.4 meter per seconds to pull this off!
This brings us to the interesting question: How fast do we pee? Well, I did not research the depth of internet for this but I found this paper saying that the speed for boys is around 2.35 and 3.25 meter/s. So if it’s the case for me I would totally pee on myself, fail. But if you are a young boy or a dwarf you can make it! 2.35 meter per sec corresponds to 28 cm penis to head.
It might be that women have a higher urine velocity so they may have a chance (if they can aim towards the top which remains to be seen right…)."

If Jeff Bezos is worth $188 billion, is it somehow a good thing to take $187 billion away from him? That’s a wealth tax of over 99%. Almost $170 billion of his wealth is in Amazon stock. Who would take ownership of his company away from him, a government? That’s Socialism. Karl Marx would be proud.
Then add on the fact that NOBODY knows how much it would cost to "fix" the issues they list, assuming they can be fixed or, conversely, are issues.
Knowing how to do algebra doesn't make you intelligent.
Hunger is a business, because the price is defined by scarcity.
To keep the prices stable food gets thrown away.
Climate is defined by the average weather in a certain time, for example a decade.
Regarding Climate, the only constant is change.
We are at the end of an ice age btw, so it's only natural glaciers and permafrost thaw.
I wonder how OCD she was. Like was she recording every local, national, UHF, and cable channels available where she lived. Did she do it by herself or hire people to change the tapes in her banks of VCRs? Did she have a normal day job? Where was she warehousing those tapes? If this was a one woman operation, imaging having to program all those VCRs to stagger when they'd start recording. If I remember correctly, at the lowest quality recording, a VHS tape only lasts 6 hours.
The odds of winning the lottery are in multiples of millions.
For our case, let's say the odds are 1 in one million. So what is 1 in a million?
Take a golf ball and measure it's diameter which is 1.68 inches.
Now, place your golf ball in with one million golf balls and place them in a line.
Your job is to pick out your golf ball from the line.
You would have a line of golf balls 26.51 Miles long to select from!
Bad odds I'd say.
