I don't know about "the west", but I can give my own (Swedish) perspective on authenticity and age: The church in my village is quite new, about 150 years old. But it's built on the site of a much older church. The new c

Not directly, I think. The recent debate over declining bee population has has been over pesticides from the neonicotineide family. But I think the current concensus is that the decline in bees populations is due to a combination of - Polle

Sure, but it's not all about the calories. Alcohol and sugar makes the body store excess water. You swell up. Makes it hard to show of muscle.

I have a similar project, 90% finished, with a wifi enabled Rpi4 that uses asterix as a soft phone and can be used as a classic rotary. Some notes: - As the creator of this music phone I had hoped to keep the original mic and speaker. T

No, it's a simple inital assumption about good faith actors. In my opinion, this is a strategy that often pays off.

Good. I have a big investment in a star and sometimes I worry about inflation.

John Green has put this to words in a very John Green-like way: But I can recall my every mortification as if it occurred moments ago. I know this because each evening when I finish reading for the night, I’ll turn off my bedside lamp, rol

The least fun csv-like format i have seen was mandated by a Big Spanish Bank. It was original a fixed fieldwith flatfile. Numerals were 0-leftpadded and fixed decimal (decimal point not written). Except that someone decided they needed to o

When I was looking for a phone (and ended up buying the 3310) I was eyeing the KaiOS Nokias as well. From what i could gather then the KaiOS software was kinda hit or miss. Some reviewer where complaining about crashes and such. There seeme

I was gonna make this comment. I currently use a 2019 Nokia 3310 (3G). Seems to be on par with the Light Minimal "smartphone", except for the hotspot. A hotspot on the 3310 would be nice, it's not like the opera mini browser

Eh, I can think of one evil company that used to have "don't be evil" or something like that as their motto in the distant past. I hear they make a pretty popular browser now.

Norway has very diffrent terrain from neighbouring Sweden, she is practically all coastline. Not much easily logged forrest, no big lowland plains for large scale farming
