# The Man Who Bottled the Current — Alessandro Volta, 1745–1827 **A Child Who Didn't Speak Until Four** Alessandro Volta was born on February 18, 1745 in Como, a small city in northern Italy near the Swiss border. He came from a noble family — not enormously wealthy but educated and respected. His early childhood gave no indication of what was coming. He didn't speak until he was four years old. His family worried enough that they considered sending him to live with relatives. By seven he had caught up completely with other children his age. He showed early fascination with natural phenomena and electricity specifically. By eighteen he was corresponding with leading Eur...

People like to pretend rock paper scissors is random. It is not random. Not when someone loses seven times in a row. The first time it happened, nobody cared. We were twelve years old, standing behind the gymnasium while the buses lined up along the curb in crooked yellow rows. Someone had stolen a tennis ball from P.E. and half the boys were throwing it against the brick wall hard enough to leave green marks. “Rock paper scissors?” he asked. I shrugged. He grinned before we even started. That should have warned me. “Shoot.” Rock. Scissors. He laughed. “Damn. You **** already.” I laughed too because that is what boys do when they are trying to survive each other. Th...

Hey all, Odeh Ahwal here; a serial internet solopreneur with an 11x exit record. I'd like to share my experience with those who are looking to start something online but are not sure where to get started. Most newcomers to the digital world overthink and overcomplicate the money-earning process.. I understand, it's easy to get overwhelmed with the endless amount of "I've made it" posts on social media.. You're seeing people succeeding with TikTok shop pages, faceless YouTube channels, ecommerce stores, or even selling AI websites to local businesses.. Making money online is not a myth nor a questionable subject anymore! In fact, there are thousands of metho...

\[WTB\] Want to buy $945 store credit @ 70% (661,5 Dollar)

I’m the tech guy that most of my friends and family call and I’m getting lots of calls about what new laptop people should buy because Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support in October and Windows 11 requires unnecessary things like a TPM chip or Secure Boot. Windows 11 can technically run without these things, but Microsoft is creating one of the largest e-waste events in history because they want everyone to upgrade to Windows 11. It’s ******. So I just wanted to tell you that this might be a good time to just say buh bye to Microsoft. Most people do 90% of their tasks with a browser and unless you need very specific Windows applications, a good solution is Linux Mint. Don’t g...

No big finds for me today outside of the splash serum. Sorry, some stuff is unboxed. Heard good things about the revive spray and the dark spot remover so we’ll see. I loved the whipped recovery cream and mutual oil so I was stoked to see it again. I also got the Dermasil oatmeal face wash and a bar of Yardley soap- it’s not pictured. The b pure peptide lip mask is wonderful. Of course I’ve never had the OG HG mask, No jet set products. I did see hydroboost. No aha scrub just lotion. I miss skin nutrients glycolic acid 😕 Anyway it’s slim pickins in Richmond Hill Queens, any big dollar tree stores in the city I’m new here?

Possibly a long shot, but I have this Pentel EnerGel 20th Anniversary Edition pen with a champagne gold grip and a damask-like white pattern printed on the clear barrel. I’m 90-odd percent sure it was part of a set, as it’s from a family member who buys pens exclusively in sets off of Amazon or in-store in Walgreens & the like. I’ve tried to research it, but i haven’t been able to find a single visual match or listing, so i’m assuming they aren’t sold anymore. I’m autistic and I really like this pen in particular, and was wondering if anyone was familiar with it and able to confirm whether or not it was part of a set, if they are still available for purchase, and when...

I want to start by saying that I have autism and a professionally diagnosed learning disability. I’ve worked at Starbucks for about 8 months now, and I never received proper training when I started. I was almost always placed on warming or drive-thru, so I had to teach myself most of the job by watching other baristas and studying the training videos. I even made my own notebook with drink recipes and instructions because I genuinely had to learn everything on my own. There is one shift lead in particular who has consistently treated me (and everyone else) poorly. From the beginning, she would immediately place me on drive-thru or warming because she believed she could do bar “faster”...

This is a case that I have been following up where Mr. Singh Mahal pleaded guilty in a Calgary house-rental fraud case after renting the same property to 9 families in January 2023. He pulled the fraud ba advertising the property in kijiji and facebook marketplace, by physically showing the property, signing an agreement and collecting deposit and/or first month rent. After more than a year of court appearances, he admitted to 15 counts of fraud and forgery under sections 380, 366 and 368 of the Criminal Code. He was ordered to repay thousands of dollars to the victims and complete months of community service. Although he claimed to have no income and was given a year and a half to make res...

[https://www.classaction.org/news/audible-lawsuit-claims-membership-credits-expire-in-violation-of-washington-state-law](https://www.classaction.org/news/audible-lawsuit-claims-membership-credits-expire-in-violation-of-washington-state-law) I just ran across this while looking up the expiration of audible. It was filed last year, but has anyone been following this lawsuit or know what the disposition was? The practice is clearly against Washington State Law, but there is a sizable percentage of Americans that don‘t think corporations should be required to follow the law, so I’m sure Amazon enjoys significant support as well. I was going to buy a block of 9 credits but decided to b...

Hey guys! Sabine here! Hehehe! Sorry I never told you guys, but I actually put Objection Confidence on a week-long hiatus because me and my family had a vacation to Branson, Missouri, and we're currently heading home, I'll comment on this post to let you know the hiatus is over, and I can get back to storyboarding OC's intro if I'm not too lazy I gotta tell you, it was a BLAST, we went to things like Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Hamner's Unbelievable, Anthems Of Rock (TWICE), Silver Dollar City's Showboat, And.. You won't believe what I found at the Wild World Zoo And Aquarium.... A CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES! I spotted a group of African Penguin...

absentia is a code-hygiene tool with a Textual TUI for triage and a batch CLI for CI. The pitch is *find the holes your code already drew* — it mines conventions your codebase already follows (with frequent-itemset mining over tree-sitter ASTs) and flags the entities that break ranks. # What the TUI looks like Five views, single-keystroke switching: 1 Gaps — what to fix (sorted by confidence) 2 Rules — every convention absentia mined from your code 3 Groups — every formed group + its members 4 Stats — one-screen scan summary 5 Suppressions — active suppressions (local + project-wide) Power-user shortcuts: e...

I'm talking so rich that you can spend millions of dollars every single day on yourself, your family, your friends, strangers, charity, and it wouldn't put a dent in your bank account. I'm talking so rich that for the next 500 years your descendants can have 10+ kids to pay for and live the lavish lifestyle of royalty without earning a single cent of their own or worrying about money at all. I'm talking so rich you make Elon Musk look like he's destitute. If I was that rich, I'd go on r/webkinzbuyselltrade and buy every single retired item and one day only login prizes no matter the price. (Not actually looking to buy those, this is hypothetical) But beside...

President Trump has instituted the most dramatic retrenchment of the country’s refugee program in decades, largely walling off the United States to anyone fleeing war and persecution. But Mr. Trump has made one notable carve out: Since last year, Afrikaners, the white minority from South Africa, have had the rare ability to seek refugee status. Now the administration is considering substantially expanding access for the white South Africans by declaring that an “unforeseen emergency” in that country warrants more than doubling the number who could enter as refugees, according to multiple people familiar with the matter and documents obtained by The New York Times. The move could bri...

Hey Android family, I am building and shipping my first app and I need your help. The idea: most home screens waste space on app icons. IconStash lets you stack multiple apps into one widget cell — tap once to open the widget, tap the app you want. Less screen clutter, same speed. What I'd love feedback on: • Does the widget actually feel faster than digging through your app drawer? • Any crashes / weird resize behavior? • Is the 4-app and 9-app layout intuitive or confusing? Requirements: Android 10+, \~10 MB. Join the beta: [https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.iconstash.widget](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.iconstash.widget) Listing:...

I bought minecraft from the Microsoft store using a Microsoft account...not even 3 weeks pass and my microsoft account gets hacked out of nowhere. I raised a ticket, I talked to them, they investigate and they realise my account has been hacked. And they know I have all the evidence with me but they still can't do anything about it? I have the purchase receipt, the orginal email id and the email i received when I bought the game. As an Indian I get paid 12 dollars a day and a 50 dollar game is huge for me. But I did buy it because I wanted something to be happy about. I wanted something and I had one thing going....and this is where it took me. I am done right now. Yes it is just a game...
