  2. Wouldn't he wonder how they keep achieving mediocre results on health while spending the far most on education and medicine in the world?

  3. Please imagine societies where governments judge what way to die is fine or not. Could you say they really care about lives?

  4. I don't know if people remember, but they used to say getting the vaccine would prevent people from getting infected with not only the virus but influenza. Vaccinated people with masks keep infected with anything and dying. What's the meaning to spend a ton of money on vaccines?

  6. I shouldn't have sent my old MacBook Pro to Apple for recycling... This is something Apple should start selling ASAP.

  7. I finally received the label to send my shattered Pixel 3a for recycling. But I am supposed to use UPS, according to it. UPS is not that convenient outside of the US unless you live in a big city. I gave up.

  9. Google outsources the recycling program to another company and I had to fill out a form to get a label for my Pixel 3a on their website. The problem is that the form wasn't localized at all.

  12. Apple sent me a cardboard box when I recycled my Apple laptop. Today, I found Google wouldn't. Fortunately, the closest grocery store allows us to take boxes for free so I am going to take one there.

  13. I use Firefox on my iPhone XR and found an easy way to avoid seeing ads. That is turning on "Block Image" option. It's so effective.

  14. So the phone I broke is Pixel 3a I bought in the US for $120 in 2021, and it has had no problem so far. I should have put a screen protector on it though too late to say it... I was trying to keep it, at least, another year... I'm look around Android phones now but there are way too many brands and models... And not only that, I noticed used iPhone are cheaper than used Android or not. Not sure about this.

  16. They have never changed since or even before they awarded the brain cutting doctor. The solution to avoid this is always there. Take time.

  19. A nurse in UK got arrested for killing babies. The funny thing is the infant mortality rate in the US is much higher than UK with or without murder, but nobody cares because they have to be told what, when, and how to worry.

  20. "Mask wearing save lives" said by people always ending up killing more people without having any consequences.
