"On October 25th 2025, 55 intrepid runners took on an extraordinary challenge: to run the deepest marathon ever run. Covering 42.2km within the Garpenberg Zinc Mine in Sweden, they descended to a staggering depth of 1,120 metres below sea level. No one had attempted a marathon at this depth before. Participants endured temperatures of 24°C and 72% humidity, in total silence and ran in complete darkness with only their head torches for light."
"Donald Trump has at long last unveiled his healthcare plan, branding it the “Great Healthcare Plan.” The core of the proposal is to cut the private health-insurance companies out of healthcare altogether — something liberals have been demanding for decades.
The Republican president is proposing that Uncle Sam send each of us a check every year so we can buy our own healthcare directly from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and so on.
The first thing to say is that if this plan had any chance of becoming law, stocks of the health-insurance companies would be plummeting on Wall Street. After all, this bill would devastate, or even effectively destroy, their businesses.
Instead, health-insurance stocks actually rose after the announcement. Many were up by 1% or even more.
Investors are not shaken. They are not even stirred. Wall Street thinks this proposal has no chance of getting through Congress.
And, given the power, influence and campaign donations handed out by big insurance companies, Wall Street may well be right."
I was just in Akihabara yesterday looking for an Intellivision. Even if this isn't that good, having real controllers that could be made to work with Mame would be a big plus.
The 38% for Japan seems suspect to me. I found this online from a commercial site, but the number is closer to my experience:
"Bidet Toilets and Japanese Culture
High-end Japanese-style toilet and bidet combinations might retain a degree of exoticism in the US, but they’re extremely common in Japan. According to NPR, roughly 80% of Japanese households own a bidet, and you’ll find fancy Japanese toilets in most public areas as well. "
Who was suppressing vitamins, clean foods, sunshine and exercise?
I always went by "i before e except when it's not".

The search results are interesting, but I haven't heard of half the bands:
Bands with No Original Members
Bands with Only One Original Member Left (Often Considered "One-Member" Bands)
I like this take from Market Watch:

"You should order the Steak" "I'll get something else, I'm a vegan" "Man, you guys just won't shut up about it, will you?"
That was a fake headline

Is this AI? The mast has the top rope behind it, but the bottom rope in front. I suggest rule 7 be no AI.

I'm rethinking it... Take the French fry money, but do two push-ups for every French fry you eat.
I'd use the French fry money to buy more French fries
I hope they're not asking for handouts - that would be Socialism

He's doing it because it'll save money on bullets and bombs.
That is amazing - if buying U.S. wines were illegal, it would still be hard for it to drop that fast.
