Coca Cola > 'Ivan tea' ( ? )

------------------
https://www.rt.com/russia/559334-putin-coca-cola-chemicals/ 20220720
-- Coca-Cola is ‘all chemicals’
Siberian ‘Ivan Tea’ is better than the additive-laden soda

Despite reportedly consuming up to a dozen cans of Diet Coke a day,
former US President Donald Trump quipped on Twitter in 2012 that he had “never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke,
” before suggesting that “the more Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc you drink, the more weight you gain?”

‘Ivan Tea’ is made from the fermented leaves of the fireweed plant.
Enjoyed for both its refreshing taste and its medicinal properties, it is a natural anti-inflammatory beverage,
contains 16 amino acids, and is packed with vitamins B and C.
Outside Russia, fireweed is consumed in the Canadian Yukon,
where its flowers are made into jelly, and in the US Pacific Northwest, where honey produced from its pollen is highly regarded.

Earth in a Hurry > Earth Sets New Record for Shortest Day
In recent years, Earth has been speeding up
On June 29, 2022, Earth completed one spin in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours.

-- Toward a Negative Leap Second?
If Earth’s fast rotation continues, it could lead to the introduction of the first-ever negative leap second.
This would be required to keep civil time—which is based on the super-steady beat of atomic clocks—in step with solar time, which is based on the movement of the Sun across the sky.
A negative leap second would mean that our clocks skip one second, which could potentially create problems for IT systems.

-- What Happens Next?
Will the length of day continue to decrease, or have we already reached the minimum?
Nobody knows for sure, but we asked Dr Zotov for his best guess.
“I think there’s a 70 percent chance we’re at the minimum,” he said, “and we won’t need a negative leap second.”

On my mind is marriage. Can I trust this compatibility chart for zodiac signs -
[Link removed by moderator*] ? :)

I found it, but I don't know if it's true or not. My zodiac sign is Pisces and I have a Scorpio girlfriend, and when I check our signs' compatibility it is about 93% :bravo:

Are there people among us who understand a little about astrology? I would be grateful for advice.

Anyway, we will marry ;) I just tell you what is on my mind at the moment :mrgreen:

Lakes and rivers have dried up.
