Headed to Admin Leave (finally) and then to Retirement on 9/30

USACE here - boss confirmed I go on Admin Leave next Monday as I asked. I'm fully remote without a place to RTO and retirement eligible so even thought it was not my plan I'm taking the plunge and moving on to a new Chapter to include working full-time out of the Gov (of course, after a few weeks off - LOL) - it has taken a month for this to finally happen - I'm mentally exhausted - so those of you who are facing the same decision or just the decision to move on out of the Gov - just hang in there and remember we are all in this together and are thinking of you and wish you the best whatever you decide or have to do.

The video features a computer screen displaying a Windows operating system error message, specifically a 'Failing (IC Stage - 4) 30% (195986 of 645872). Total: 30%. ETA: 40:150.' The screen is labeled 'Anxiety Doechii' at the top. Below the error message, an animated character with a distressed expression is shown, surrounded by floating papers, adding a humorous touch to the situation. The desk in front of the screen is cluttered with various items, including a small figurine of a bicycle, a black wallet, and a blue laptop. A webcam is mounted above the screen, and a window with blinds is visible in the background. At the bottom of the screen, a yellow banner with black text reads 'Starting Monday off right...' The scene remains static throughout, emphasizing the ongoing error message and the humorous depiction of the character's reaction.

Vote Labour, get ReformUK

Such an ugly party of bigots, thieves and the cowards who enable this all by staying with Party that hates Progressives, socialists, anybody nice and normal and instead throws it's lot in with racists, sexual predators and people who would destroy a landmark for a bit of fame, a bit of attention....the Protest Voters who want nothing but harm to come to everyone....that's Labour's 'Broad Church' now

Somewhat surprising you didn't mention #Metformin as one of the antiaging compounds.

Not only is it one of the most widely used *generic* drugs in the world, but it addresses one of the fastest growing pro-aging vectors i.e. excess sugars (glucose).

Unlike Rapamycin it is also cheap as chips.

Water and Occupation in Gaza - SourcedPress


Gaza’s water “comes from wells with salt water unfit for consumption. They have water treatment plants, Israel should hit those plants. When the entire world says we have gone insane and this is a humanitarian disaster — we will say, it’s not an end, it’s a means.” That was the opinion of Giora Eiland, adviser to the defense minister and former head of the Israeli National Security Council, writing in Yedioth Ahronoth on October 9, 2023.⁠

[1]Already by November, the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights warned that “around 70% of the population in Gaza is drinking salinised and contaminated water.”⁠[2] By July 2024, Oxfam reported that “people in Gaza have had only 4.74 litres of water per person per day” since the start of Israel’s offensive,[3] well below the World Health Organization’s minimum needed for survival in a humanitarian emergency.⁠

[4]Israel's control over life’s most essential resource did not arise overnight. After occupying Gaza and the West Bank in 1967, it quickly established a system to extract water for its own use while restricting Palestinian access. For decades, this policy forced the indigenous population into dependence and precarity, while Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories — illegal under international law⁠[5] — enjoyed “privileged access to water.”⁠

"“For over two months, #Israel has enforced a total siege, blocking food, water, medicine and aid, while thousands of trucks filled with life-saving supplies ready for swift distribution, are waiting at the border, metres away, blocked from entering.”

He added that families are “wasting away from hunger”, while children are “malnourished” and “too weak to cry” as entire communities are surviving “without food or clean water”. #Oxfam’s field teams reported that in one displacement camp, only five of 500 families had any flour left to make bread."

L'immagine mostra un edificio moderno con una facciata in vetro e acciaio, caratterizzato da una forma curva e da una struttura a griglia. La facciata è composta da numerose finestre rettangolari, alcune delle quali sono colorate con sfumature di rosa e giallo. Un elemento distintivo è una colonna cilindrica di colore marrone scuro che si estende lungo l'edificio. Sulla destra, si possono vedere due bandiere, una blu e una verde, che potrebbero rappresentare l'Unione Europea e l'Italia. In primo piano, c'è un cancello di metallo grigio che delimita l'area del palazzo, con un gruppo di persone che si riunisce vicino a esso. Un lampione vintage è visibile sulla sinistra, e un'automobile bianca con la scritta "POLIZIA" è parcheggiata sulla strada. L'edificio è situato in una zona urbana, con alberi e vegetazione che aggiungono un tocco di verde all'ambiente.

L'immagine mostra una donna seduta a un tavolo, con un microfono davanti a lei. Indossa un abito beige e una collana di perle. Sullo sfondo, c'è un grande schermo blu con la bandiera italiana a sinistra e il sigillo della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri di Palazzo Chigi a destra. La donna sembra essere in una conferenza stampa ufficiale, probabilmente in Italia, data la presenza dei simboli nazionali.
