We have some similar memories :)

Crisp “smell” after first frost.

Onion and garlic when heated in oil making food.
That fucking makes me curious as I am a Norwegian and hunger and malnutrition is not visible. But 5 in 100000 in Norway with 5.6 million totalt population is 280 people. But it all depends how deaths are reported. In Norway the norm is old age homes, run by the local municipality and there has been discussion how the food served is not the best. And how the residents doesn’t eat enough. Also you need more flavour to make food palatable for the elderly as you loose your sense of taste as you get older.
How anyone can have infant malnutrition on Norway is beyond me. You have mandatory visita to health station at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (and 2 and 3 years) with consultation from physician and nurses. They weigh and measure and vaccinate. We got state sponsored prescription for hypoallergenic baby formula, so actual malnutrition should be caught. But I know that some immigrant communities and “alternative medicine” doesn’t trust the system so they might be the numbers.
There is no information on how the data is collected. Perhaps China labels the deaths as heart failure or some other cause of death.
And like the other comments states, these numbers needs to be weighted for population.
I’m guessing that this is not an effort to curb corruption, rather a message to pay it upwards or face consequences. He is probably just a victim of his own hubris.
They also enforces E(xplosives), done that for ages but the E is silent.
Lack of FOMO. No constant stream of stuff I am missing out on. Not seeing a childs weekend crushed because everyone said they’d just chill at home, but SoMe clearly shows all gathering leaving you out.
This sentence on their flagship “burger”
“The chilled tomato slice goes perfectly with piping hot meat sauce and freshly grilled patty.”
Makes me think of this



Are those challenge coins in the background or patches?


Most likely worthless. But some medals, especially with providence can have value.
Less so if it was a war souvenir.

The policy of not asking about personal medical information by regular email is sound.
I work as an engineer(not in the US) in a governmental capacity and we would never ask for sensitive material to be sent byail.
We do however have a secure service in our web page where you can upload such material, with the option to cc in people by mail to alert them that you have sent something. Otherwise it will take a day for our archive to send it the right way.
Edit: We have more secure options, but that requires an invite/link. We ofc can handle proper secret stuff as well, but that involves a seperate intranet and secure terminala and so on.
Along with Hagard, B.C, Beetle Bailie and all the other comics started in the 50s and 60s I have completely written them off as unfunny, bland and repetitive. This is far more on point than I would ever have expected.


Third recommendation of this game… I gave it a cursory try over 10 years ago…



The Knights of the Old Republic SW games. You can join the dark side.


Basically the premise for Offsprings “The kids’ aren’t alright” https://youtu.be/7iNbnineUCI?is=W0k-Q5A3aOE9YStq
They changed the IG noble since I last looked. Used to be “BS useless” stuff like the airodynamics in grains of rice. (Ofc now someone will link a PubMed article stating that this research holds the key to a universal cure for cancer)
The 100+ years old in Norway can usually back the claim up by pretty scrupulous documentation. Not surprising that there is some shady pension scam going in south Italy tbh.
What does “ace” mean in this context?
Norway: Real estate agents (and the people they hire to asess properties) Real estate developers Local municipality politicians (usually “corrupt” with said developers) Construction companies. Need fucking constant watching to make sure they deliver on specc according to contract.
Ok, looked into the data and saw that there were practically zero until 2011 and a steady rise to 5/100000 annually for Norway. That is equal to 280 people a year.
Looked at national newspapers and found that following numbers: Between 2017 and 2021 860 people had malnutrition and starvation as main cause of death. 3790 had starvation as one of several causes if death.
These are all gearateic patients in hospital or assistes living. If you stop eating or drinking you will worsen existing conditions and also be more susceptible to new afflictions. Because of increased awareness to this in Norway, doctors writing cause of death has started registering more cases.
As I said as long as the numbers is just presented and not quality assured and explained it’s like discussing apples and pears. There is a problem with geariatric patients not starvation in Norway.
