Also note that Telegram and WhatsApp are insecure and horrible. I would use Signal, OTR and maybe iMessage if you trust the Apple bean-counter-turned-CEO.
1. Make a histogram of their usage
2. Huffman encode them based on what sounds/inflections/etc. are easiest to make and most distinct
3. Add an ECC syllable to each word or phrase
4. Set straightforward, simple semantic rules so that it's mechanical, obvious and unambiguous
Relish in the glory of the next Esperanto.
Reality and fiction slightly intersect as a fuzzy Venn diagram, to a degree, but their more often echoes of imagination than of experience.

(4/3) * pi * (213/2 [m])^3 * 3 [g/cm^3]
Mean diameter: 213m
Kinetic energy is 0.5 * m * v^2, so figure 10 [km/s] which works out to 7.59e17 [J] or 181 MT of KE total. The airburst is around the square root of that, so 13.5 MT.
If it hit just right, it would be big enough to wipe out a large city metropolitan area. The odds of it hitting at all aren't that great.
Postscript: There ought to be a scifi weapon that flings pyramids.

The messy reality of balancing interests tends not to fit to any impossibly idealistic -ism, but somewhere in the middle between the unworkable utopian extreme goal-posts of libertarian-anarchism and communism. Call it democratic socialism or socialism, what works seems to be a hybrid of many ideals.

1. Latent VZV causes shingles in later life; a horrible, painful, debilitating condition.
2. It's a signal of intentionally creating other unnecessary, preventable epidemics of treatable, disfiguring and deadly diseases.
Ancedotally: I'm an SAR member with non-tanning skin but have European, African and Asian/native American genes.
The conclusions: races are illusions and racism is completely idiotic. There are bigger things to worry about or look down on than which flavor of human a person ticks checkboxes for identity politics games.
Questions: Let's be honest, what is "diversity?" And then, why do organizations claim to be diverse when they either hire people that all look like them or hire only people that think or believe as do they? Isn't that the opposite of "diversity," but exclusive monoculture or groupthink?
That's a chick-little, strawman and blame-the-victim argument. The issues are:
1. PGE likely started the fire. They should be held responsible for this specific incident, not passing the buck to ratepayers or anyone else.
2. PGE is corrupting and coopting liability when it needs to pay the penalties for its actions, not pass the buck. This is separate from 1. because it indicates a greater decay of liability and they're insulating themselves to gradually become an untouchable mafia.
3. In order to get 2., removing SIG, PAC and large private monies, and all those who benefit from them, from politics is imperative.
4. Paradise is a tiny town that doesn't do a very good job with code enforcement. My mom had to mobilize the neighbors to get an abandoned propery's owner to mow their 7 ft tall, dried weeds and remove fire other hazards like an abandoned house with a tree crashed through it, but then the institutionalized owner later allowed a random tree-trimmer to dump dozens of piles of pine sawdust and logs on that property. SMH.
5. "Regulations" aren't an uniform obelisk to scapegoat that you implied. One regulation maybe advantageous or harmful uniquely to each and every affected group, depending. So don't even start spreading the tired, libertarian, utopian refrains like "If only there were no regulations, markets solve everything," which is utter horseshit. Regulations can and do work but only if the governed demand it and refuse to allow the rich and their corporations to have their way.
It's the POLR for most former/current homeowners to move to where professional town managers exist rather than deal with small-town incompetence like the bumblers in Paradise or Butte's Sheriff Kory's flimsy excuse for not activating the EAS, which likely caused the needless deaths of hundreds of disabled and elderly people.

Is that the right one?
If this were in the US, shouldn't this be something the USPHS, USDA or FDA should regulate? Selling bulk poppy seeds containing enormous amounts of would-be heroin seems tantamount to drug trafficking.
Also, I had some nasty vestibular dysfunction from withdrawing from vortioxetine... eyes randomly moving around quickly in all directions on their own, limbs twitching randomly, and any horizontal eye movement causing instantaneous nausea/vertigo.
And, I once titrated off mirtazapine and had some serious nausea... recommend ginger and weed.
