You don’t pour water on a grease fire because grease floats and it will spill out of your pot and catch the rest of your kitchen on fire

I expect you know as you were mainly talking about batteries (on this post about batteries) - but grease fires are not quite dangerous just because grease floats and adding water causes it to spill fire - when you introduce the water it does sink, but then it superheats to vapour, rapidly expanding and almost erupts the oil, chucking a poor man's napalm round everything in the vicinity

It doesn't have to even be on fire, if the oil is >100 degrees and there's enough of it to superheat adding water will do the same thing (minus the flames) - a melted face is better than a melted face and a house fire, but neither are recommended

etoro is a broker that allows you to "copy trade" popular investors and portfolios, which mimc trades according to how much capital you have invested, though Nancy ain't gonna be on there

There's also ETFs such as ARK which are easy to get into, are managed by the likes of Cathie Wood and if they're doing a good job, only go up

Biggest regret in the last 15 years is not getting into it earlier tbh, if you have even a passing interest in trading, open a mock account (or a real one with some money you don't mind "losing") and just have a go - it's very simple nowadays. Gone are the days where you need to pay $10 to a broker to even make a trade

I pay for 5g in London with EE with an LTE phone

I've turned it off - it's too unreliable even 3 years later... Feels like 1 bar of 5g spends an age trying to get a connection, then slowly reverts to 3 bars of 4g, which is ultimately just worse than just using 4g

Could just be my oldish phone, or the concrete jungle, but feels like shite to me
