No, in Japan, it really is everyone. All kinds of commercial entities also use LINE to communicate with customers even. Yes, if you want to talk to people in other parts of the world, you'll need a different app for that, because diff

It's the same here in Japan: everyone uses LINE messenger. SMS is pretty much never used because it's considered a privacy violation; only delivery companies and banks and the like use it (and spammers, like you said). Nobody ca

As I've said countless times before here, the 737MAX software had nothing wrong with it. It performed exactly the way the specifications required.

Huh? I'm sure Amazon has no trouble gathering data about exactly how many of its Prime members are watching various shows/movies on their service. They're not going to pour money into something if no one is watching it. It

TeamLab Borderless closed down and the building demolished last year. It's supposed to re-open somewhere else next year, I think. Maybe you're thinking of TeamLab Planets in Toyosu. It's a must-see too.

Marriage rates are already falling; when sex robots get good enough, they'll collapse entirely. I'm not even sure if this is a bad thing.

It absolutely does, in a metaphoric way: It's just like the Genesis torpedo. You simply fire this torpedo from your starship at a (hopefully lifeless) planet or moon, and the Genesis Effect will re-form all the matter on the world, cr

It's not just Linux, it's everyone really, and for many things (not just Amigas). There are many places where people have failed to learn from the past, and reinvented the wheel badly.

"OpenTofu" is cute, but tofu has nothing to do with terraforming. How about "Genesis" or "Reliant" or "Marcus" or "Kruge"?

Where does this come from? It looks like BS to me. The idea that China has the most advanced aircraft engine manufacturing is truly insane: that belongs to the US and UK. China can't even fully build their own commercial aircraft be

Mexico inherited that land from Spain. Why did Spain have a rightful claim to it? They didn't live there. The only people who had a legitimate claim to any of the land taken by the US in that war were the natives, but they weren&#x27
