No decaf for me. I grind my beans and fill the coffee maker with water for 8 cups. That makes 3 real cups (I don’t like small cups) of black coffee that I drink at a leisurely pace following my breakfast cereal.
Between 1976 and 2008 I spent a fair amount of time in Singapore on business. I mostly worked with the universities and polytechnics as well as the semiconductor industry there. It’s easily my favorite foreign country. Friendly and intelligent people, easy to get around, safe, good food, etc. Would I want to live there? No.
Now if you could just balance tank volume shrinkage with gas per gallon price increases, you’d pay the same for every fill up. Some people would never catch on.
I watched the English translation running the video at 1/2 speed. The woman did a good job questioning the jerk on the counsel. Ha - supposedly to better understand tourism volume. She correctly pointed out China.

I was sort of wondering why I didn’t remember the 1968 convention. Then it hit me. That summer I was working 7 days a week to pay for college. I didn’t even have time to go to the beach.
Here’s the patent title and summary with link. It looks like the force imbalance produces thrust without needed fuel in the form of mass that gets ejected. Energy still has to be inputted.
A system and method for generating a force from a voltage difference applied across at least one electrically conductive surface. The applied voltage difference creates an electric field resulting in an electrostatic pressure force acting on at least one surface of an object. Asymmetries in the resulting electrostatic pressure force vectors result in a net resulting electrostatic pressure force acting on the object. The magnitude of the net resulting electrostatic pressure force is a function of the geometry of the electrically conductive surfaces, the applied voltage, and the dielectric constant of any material present in the gap between electrodes. The invention may be produced on a nanoscale using nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes. The invention may be utilized to provide a motivating force to an object. A non-limiting use case example is the use of electrostatic pressure force apparatus as a thruster to propel a spacecraft through a vacuum.
