I think the US is a country of taking shower, and I am in a country of soaking into a bathtub. So shower in the US should be better because it is the main there.
I lived in various places when I was in the US
It's almost March and getting warmer. But recently I bought this.

It's so useful and stay warm more than 6 hours with 2.6 litters of water. I bought a zinc one since I can heat it up with gas burner directly.
I don't like Mexican foods that much, but found one I really like when I was working at a school restaurant. It is called, "Pico de Gallo".

It's simple salad, but addicting.
Because the medical cost is too expensive. No matter how much their society trash healthcare insurance companies, nothing will change until they get aware who is the one charging the insane amount of cost.

Feeling bad for Ukrainian people...
By Shin LinkHere, electricity stays expensive because they haven't restarted nuclear plants, and oil and gas are imported.
Maybe, it's time for wood stoves. The problem is we can't put it in any place.
You know what I love about natural resource-rich countries is they can stay in a house that is warm 24 hours. I never felt cold in my room when I was in the US because they had central heating. I think they use natural gas for heating.
By Shin LinkBefore going to the US, I visited there because I had not been to there even once after leaving. I was told the number of kids decreased to a half.
I checked it a few days ago on the map, and the building was gone... It was old so understandable...
I did not have any surgeries nor drugs. I just took time, which wasn't even my decision. I was lucky because most doctors are willing to give unnecessary medical procedures, which is often supported by the patient side, unfortunately.
By Shin LinkI was a kid so didn't see any differences but most people usually don't have lives with people with disability.
My disability was temporary and got back to a local public school and started to walk with my own legs.
I will write about this much more descriptively later, but I could not walk when I was 6 to 10 years old. I could have but with pain. I lived in a big massive flat building with school in a countryside with about 60 other kids with various disability.
By Shin LinkWhy do we need to get shocked by the existence of viruses, then? Like people, every chicken has a right to stay alive whether being infected or not.
They don't even ask us to eat them, anyway.
Nobody kills virus-infected people. Nobody gets shocked there are non Native Americans in the US. Nobody gets shocked the homicide rate in the US, Nobody gets shocked the obesity rate in the US.
By Shin LinkIf they bring the same standard to Turkey, they would easily find the virus there. So what's the meaning to import eggs from there?
Do you really think science believers can stop viruses from spreading? We saw the result many times.
I don't know about the US, but here the killing ones are not the virus but chicken farmers because of a law.

iPhone 16e costs $599!!
Will it get cheaper 7 months later? If so, I will buy one, then...
It comes in black or white. I really like pink iPhone 16, though.
Snowing too much...
By Shin LinkI'm sure student athletes are going to get happy if they see more fans than usual in their stadiums. Honestly, I don't like watching sports, but basketball usually takes 70 minutes or so unlike football.
By Shin LinkThere are many parts I love about the US, and it is one of them. It's so beautiful and I almost dropped tears or did. I had had zero clue about how big college sports was in the US before transferring to 4 years university.
By Shin LinkI love playing Basketball, and February is a month when the regular season of college basketball ends. Graduating student athletes play their last home game around this time. It's called senior day or something. Their parents will be there.
By Shin LinkThere should be more earbuds with physical buttons.
Who likes touch buttons on small plastic pieces?
Can't open Jiritoo in Firefox, but I can in Chrome. What's this problem?
I'm so tired.
This website got problem on CloudFlare...
Unreachable through the domain.
Bill Clinton knows if tariffs are effective or not.
By Shin LinkSad because my favorite library is closed…
I miss Seattle. There are beautiful tiny libraries everywhere. Each one isn’t big and that is good. Lawmakers here love to build one big every thing… They can’t understand quantity overcomes quality.
When racism was seen based on science, non-racists were called idiots. Time changes.
With common sense, it's time to think if your society always produces deaths at higher rates for any causes.
There was an era, police officers were well respected. At that time, victims of police brutality were the ones called idiots.
What are we seeing now in medicine?
Believing in science, paying more, and taking more drugs never improve our health. Even the dumbest person like me knows it. We need to make medicine scientific.

Can't solve a tiny problem and feeling stuck...
By Shin LinkNo idea why airline companies haven't realized this yet.
