   One of the biggest reasons I’m still using MySQL is because of Sequel Pro. Whoever running PostgreSQL would do themselves a service to build a GUI of similar quality and UX polish. https://www.sequelpro.com/

    Similarly, in Japan, if any of your neighbours complain to the council and they begin an investigation, it's likely that you'll get pushed off the platform.

    For non English keyboards, they let you toggle between different ‘alphabet’ sets. For Japanese keyboards, you can toggle them between hiragana and katakana, or full and half width characters. There used to be an option for Chinese keyboard

    the wandering worm primarily takes up residence in rats’ lungs, where female worms lay their eggs. Young worms leave the nest early to find their own windy homes, though. Larvae get coughed up into rats’ throats then swallowed. The hosting

    A lot of family run retail shops all over the world/Asia seem to have this misconception that family labour is free, thus their employees/children/siblings are effectively working for below minimum wage.

    Has anyone noticed how FamilyMart seems to be in a war of attrition with 7-11. There's always one nearby another. Lawson seems pretty fine being on their own.
