When I was young I saw the night sky with the milky way clearly visible. I never got the chance to see it again.

I travelled to the top of a remote mountain free of any light pollution or air pollution. It was a dark night with new moon. The sky was completely clear. I still had good eyesight at that time.

The starry night sky was magnificent and mesmerizing.

Bloat taking up disk space doesn't really matter. Bloat taking up RAM/CPU can affect performance on the other hand.

Learn to cook. It makes you happier and probably healthier.

Fried rice is easy to make and delicious.

When a cop ask you questions, only answer what you are required to answer.

If you are still using Chrome/Edge, try Firefox.

Do not skip going to the dentist.

This is a good case study of how self interest blinds simple logic.

I find many Japanese game titles (in English) cringy. Especially the excessive use of certain words like "re", "code" and "zero". This seems to have gotten worse in recent years.

I guess it is supposed to be cool or edgy for some people.

Isn't that the whole purpose of having elections? To make leaders do the right thing.

Objection! There is some contradiction in your statement. How do you tell they are already failing to do their job, if you say that their productivity is hard to gauge? If they deliver the expected results, why does it matter that they spend time planning their vacation?

If the employee is already found to be useless, the company can fire them without data from the tracking.

The name "plus" immediately made me think of subscriptions.

I would rather they name it NASA Explore, NASA More, NASA Now...

Context matters.

The "boba" in this post refers to the bubble tea drink, which originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s, and became popular worldwide eventually.

In bubble tea, the tapicoca balls were called 波霸 in Chinese, which is a slang term for "large breasts."

Please let me know how that is misinformation. Or how the Vietnamese word got used in a Taiwanese drink.

You can do some fact checking and educate yourself:
