Not understanding that upvotes are popularity driven might be the first error.
Make your posts, ask your questions, and move on. If people are interested it’ll get traction. If they’re not, expect apathy or downvotes. Just the way it works.

Talking heads and a failing education system.
My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there’s no way in hell I’m going back to an office.
I have no doubt that they would, but that’s not one of the variables I’m trying to control. As far as I can tell, time and volume are the only two things that I can play with. They have a 30-minute timer, and cannot take the load-bearing walls down. That means there’s a volume constraint, no matter how many people they have available they can only fit so many in one space. That limits the amount of time they have to actually search, assuming they empty the dwelling. If they don’t empty the dwelling, it sharply limits the number of people they can have searching at any one time. Heavy equipment like an x-ray machine also limits that volume.
With respect to the Britannica, if you’re familiar with them you know they are massive and this one just happened to be my primary research source in high school. I cannot understate the number of flags and paper clips simply destroying those bindings right now. If someone does notice it, I’m relying on running out the clock with them checking every one they see first.
Straighten the paper clip and slip it inside the binding of an old copy of Britannica I have. I got it second hand from a public library, so it has quite a few of the old style anti-theft tags hidden throughout; it also contains quite a few paper clips of many colors I once used as bookmarks.
I use the remaining time to clean the house, making sure to go into the bathroom more than once, moving the toilet tank lid and opening and shutting all of the cabinets every time. If I’m very lucky I’ll be just shutting the medicine cabinet audibly when the investigators walk in. (For those not familiar, many houses built in the mid 20th century in the US had slots in the back of the medicine cabinet where you were supposed to dispose of used razor blades.)
Not really, but since I’m not going to find any solutions here and people have it worse, I’ll leave it at that.
The least amount? 20k US would halve my credit card debt and give me a leg up on getting the rest paid off. 40k would give me a jump start on finally rebuilding. Given I’m in my 50s though and with the state of the world, I’m likely to be making credit card payments until the day I die.
Could be worse. They could have picked Orlando.
How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn’t happen fast enough to cause that damage?
Let me use your vernacular.
Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)

If you have a coherent rebuttal, I’m happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.
The “degree” is based on the amount of damage done to flesh, bone, and skin. Each type of burn has different criteria, so yes, a third degree chemical burn will be different from a third degree flame burn, which will in turn be different than a third degree steam burn.
The United States is a first world country, and the parent comment applies here as well.
It is absolutely the way it works on Reddit. Go into any subreddit and say something factual but unpopular and watch what happens to the vote count.
