From what I read, in case of missing DoB, they might not use DoB as the qualifier. But then they have a policy to reverify at age 115 or something and every 7 years after that. But to say there are millions of people run into this nuance is

So if the data field for DoB is missing. It revert to use year 1875. "The figures suggested that over 10 millions people aged over 120 were collecting benefits." So what about like age 120? Anyone has experience with this issue

I honestly can't remember if I spent any less time on my flip phone over a decade ago. I sent a lot of texts with it, used computer for social networking sites, email, etc., used iPod for music, used a digital camera for photos. Now

I just get single sourced extra virgin olive oil from Costco. Price is up a lot since last year. Bryan also sells dark chocolate or something. You don't have to buy from him. I don't think I'd enjoy 100% dark chocolate. 8

I had a little wife, and I am in jail. She didn't know how to cook, nor did any chores. She went to the nail salon, and brought a new fellow. She took my house, I drank in sorrow.

That's true for many behavior patterns. For me, collecting physical books, ebooks, electronics, tools, etc., before I was so burnt out I also try to learn a lot of different languages. Goal-less life leads me astray. I'm still

Except if the benefiting party receiving spousal support and child support is after tax, so they don't report that as income. So, if they don't work, they qualify for unemployment benefits (at very least the Medicaid) - the gover

I got a few friends invited me on Goodreads to read books together, but it never really worked out besides knowing what books they are reading or interested. Everyone's reading habit and interest are different. On one hand it's go

Yeah, I saw that, too. If they refuse, they claimed that they are going to be "harvested" of cornea, plasma, kidney, etc. What I don't understand is that they said they were threatened to be taken to international water for o

I couldn't find the exact video I saw on YouTube. It's funny if you search "escape Cambodia," a lot of Gordon Ramsey's food videos pops up, but if you search "逃出柬埔寨" in Chinese, you find all these terrible

My stepdad held a lot of student loan debt until he passed away and it was all forgiven. He even thought of getting a PHD with another loan. I think that's pretty much the mentality/strategy of a lot of senior people.

What do you suggest? Go to war? More tariff? People only do things in their own interest as always. Besides PRC is not torturing Uyghurs for being Uyghurs, they are torturing them for not being compliant with PRC rule - in Xinjiang regi

Same here. A lot of concepts seemed didn't matter if cannot be reflected in real world. That has changed for me though. Abstract things and first principle, zero knowledge actually quite interesting to me now.

I believe so. I was the loneliest after I got married when my now "ex" was really demanding and paranoid. People are most lonely when get excluded from their peers from school or work or social any groups. Old people are lonely be
