How much energy is trapped as fossil fuels?

"I've got myself in a bit of a fix, as I've come up with two very different numbers. So... the total energy that hits the atmosphere, land and oceans is apparently 3,850,000 exajoules per year; the amount captured by photosynthesis is roughly 3,000 exajoules; and the amount 'technically available' (i guess this is the same as output) is about 200 exajoules per year from biomass. I'm guessing this last number is the one we want. Given that plants have populated the planet for about 400 million years, this would mean there is a vast amount of energy under the ground, the equivalent of about 20,000 years of direct solar radiation (200 * 400,000,000 is a whole lot of exajoules) However, according to the first sources I found on t'internet, there is estimated to be only 400,000 exajoules of fossil fuels we can get at under the ground. Which is the equivalent of UNDER A MONTH'S worth of planetary solar radiation. I am sure I have screwed with the science and / or maths here, but could someone explain the discrepancy? Thanks"

I overdosed on medicine and didn't die?

Last year I overdosed on two different medicines(cough antiviotics and a not prescribed medicine) .... I was really depressed so I took 14 pills and swallowed it.(the suggested amount was 4) then two weeks later I was mad because I was still alive and I was sick at the time but my Antibiotic jar was almost done so I only took TWO more of the suggested amount... Err ok so my point is that, ever since this happened I seem to be forgetting things a lot, like I would think something like "Im gonna go to my room to get my phone charger.. *goes to room* .....wait a minute what was I gonna do?" <-------thoughts similar to this happen every single day!! Also sometimes I have trouble breathing.. Was this caused by the overdosage of medicine

Is it legal or can she get away with it?

In july last year me and my best friend booked tickets for one direction, which is in march this year. The problem is that we've had a massive fallout- and i was wondering where i stand. Her mom paid on her credit card and i gave her the correct amount of money a few days later but obviously they havent arrived in the post yet. We dont speak at all now and there's no way we're going to make up before the concert. I love one direction more than anything so i really dont want the money off her instead. As the tickets are going to her address im really worried that she will tell me i cant go and give me the money back, is she allowed to do that legally? Sorry its so long :/ and thank you in advance :) xx

Would you still help those people who always used you?

"There are these two people who always use me for help and when i need them they always disappear on me. This girl i know from high school, she ignores me for months but when she needs help with her university work or her depression she then messages me. But on the other occasions i tend not to be that important to her. Last week she sent me an essay to proof read (17pages long) and shes bugging me every time she sees me online.. she would normally log off on me but this time she needed help she actually asks me how am i etc etc.. but when i am down and need someone,, she either never replies to my message else makes an excuse to leave. Since she needs her work done,, she is actually trying to pressure me into getting it done although i have my own masters thesis in hand to complete. I don't know if i should do it or not. If i do, it'll just be for sake of helping someone but if i do help then i am kinda losing self-respect because m still helping her after being treated like this! This other guy, i know him from uni since he was doing post-grad project last year.. he calls me home if he needs help. I always helped and spent like 3hrs last week to explain him this program he needed for his project.. however, at the end of the help, he said to me that he won't meet again till he is done with his work.. Now he needs me, hes trying to call me home so i can help him.. I am confused whether helping those is actually helping humanity of losing my self-worth. Please help.."

Affordable care act, birth control, and grandfathered plans?

"I am on my personal dads medical care insurance until eventually I will be xxvi yoa. That i used to beget my own contraceptive for approximately $15 every 3 months which in turn had not been terrible in any respect. He then launched onto a few years ago, altering our own prescription insurance. This induced me personally to pay out jean pocket, generating the newest expense approximately $c. When i referred to as the corporation My partner and i buy our drugs as a result of last-place Nov to see what sort of passageway with the Very affordable Health care Deed might affect the cost of the particular treatment. The lady asked check out my bill on-line with Economy is shown considering that the capsules should be protected if the brand-new insurance 12 months starts. Properly We looked at and yes it was still being around the same price. Therefore i known as Caremark all over again and they also stated that no birth control they inserted has been exhibiting protection along our accounts. So I next referred to as the actual insurance firm and also, immediately after getting submitted multiple times and individuals professing they didn't learn whatever around the Very affordable Care Work, I was explained to that this retired person strategies have been grandfathered with, causing them to be exempt on the adjustments underneath the act. On the other hand from exactly what I've truly realized inside my exploration, plans suffer their grandfathered standing in the event the plan is renewed and following your candid sign up interval, or even the to begin 4 seasons for many people. Is completely wrong? When I explained to at least 18 that, the lady asserted this strategies should never be renewed. them to simply are restored if the individual decides to alter here is the plan. That is not at all a few things i realise so that it is, which is that all insurance coverage ar renewed every year. We were instructions in the postal mail at the start involving Economy is shown saying that we've to repay $fifty/thirty days for many citizenry on the plan, as compared to gainful nothing ahead of. Around my interpretation, it was mainly because the changes ended up visiting impact. Everthing appears fishy to me since they gave me this type of runaround and I'm unsure only should phone work how the last-place person stated offered her the information or perhaps if I am improperly interpretation the actual stipulations with the take action along with grandfathered programs?"
