Have you mentioned this to your doctor? There are different types of blood pressure medications. Some will lower your heart rate. Back when I took beta blockers they reduced my heart rate from 65-70 to 45-55.

And how is that going to work for all the non-English speaking countries? If that were the case then I could see more stringent regulations on which languages you can use for media creation depending on where the company is from.

You're right that apps can be better, but phone apps seem to always miss functionality compared to desktop web versions of the same thing. Even phone web version of Google doesn't have functional parity with desktop web Google. Th

I think MMOs are dying because the casual players play mobile games instead, so MMOs end up catering more and more to the hardcore crowd. This further turns casual players away.

MMOs have always been like that though. The forced group content is a later addition that not every game follows (eg OSRS). But that doesn't really mean anything. You're still sharing a virtual world. You see people pass you by, m

At some point somebody's going to argue alert fatigue in court and probably win, if they haven't already. CYA works until people stop believing that you were doing your due diligence. After that it becomes a contributing factor.

What always seemed questionable to me about Blue Zones is how they account for unnatural causes of death. A decade ago centenarians would've had to live through two world wars and the devastation and famine they caused. How do you comp

The New Deal also set up time bombs in the economy. Government spending as a percentage of GDP is ever-increasing. Early 1900s this was at about 3-5%, nowadays it's 40-60%. On top of that it gave us the pension and healthcare time bomb

They will just go somewhere else where this isn't a limitation. Somewhere that actually has a functioning power grid. If the power grid regularly can't handle the customers it has them it isn't a functioning power grid.

Yes, and? It still adds an enormous amount of cost. Despite that buildings (and even bridges) still collapse. What is often not asked is how many people lack housing because those building codes made it unaffordable for them.
