Japan might be the expert: Totally decimated in WWII, including two nuclear bombings. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions. Fukushima diaster. Tokyo Sarin gas attack. Economic crash, ageing population, mass suicides.

I don’t see how America is special relative to “the world”. Many countries have gone through much more than that.

It is more like saying that if you survived a stroke, you will live forever.

Thanks. It is really good to know that I can be more relaxed with saturated fat in my diet. I’m already doing low carb.

Are you saying that the country has survived through things, so you don’t worry any more? Not sure if I understand your logic.

Have you read this? https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2024/september/research-reveals-hidden-dangers-of-high-saturated-fat-diet

Haven’t listened to music for a long time unless it’s part of the media I am consuming (tv, movies, games etc).

Been mostly listening to podcasts instead of.

Inconceivable!

Do you actually play all of them? I have been told Origins was the best so I bought it and then stopped playing it after 10 hours. I didn’t like the characters and the combat felt very repetitive.

I know it is only the first development beta, but Apple should not have allowed this to happen at all.

While I want to move away from boring flat designs, usability should not be sacrificed with Liquid gl-ass.

How could it be a lie when horoscope is never the truth anyway?

I didn’t remember it fondly, it was just a task my boss asked me to do while my actual job was IT support.
