In this world I suppose we'd start referring to people by last names more often

I feel like they've had this for a while but maybe the specific situation is different. I might also be getting confused with Tapas.

Years ago I was reading "Extreme Dog Owner" while it was being released and was blocked out of latest episodes. So when the artist stopped the series it took a while before I realized the last few episodes would never get unlocked for me. Sounds like the same situation? Minus the huge piracy warnings.

Luckily I had a friend who bought it already then just read on their device.

Smart alarms on a smart watch. Set a time window where it'll wake you up at an optimal time in your sleep cycle. Been using the one built into Sleep as Android for years, which another person also mentioned, but a lot of smart watches have smart alarms built in

I second this, been using it for years.

The smart alarm feature that senses when you're already moving around a bit is great too, especially when used with a smart watch/fitness band of some kind

If they're all ganging up at once, coming from all directions, I feel like it wouldn't take that many to nip you in the nasties and go for the jugular.

Assuming there's some kinda animal instinct where they know to go for vulnerabilities (some animals know to aim for hamstrings and necks right?) I'm not sure I could handle 10 unarmed and in regular clothes

I recommend the style of crutches that don't go to your armpit, forearm crutches. I was on crutches for months a few years back and that was much more comfortable for me at least.

Fair, the wording of "people powered" probably isn't really accurate, more like "people really seem to like her and there's positive, growing support among the public". As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money's orders.

Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn't squander all that good will later on.

Yeah, that's about when. Heck, I know a lot of people who are still really into Obama. Not sure about the general sentiment in the US but just about every person I know not living in the US still think of him as the best US president, except for the rare Trumper. I think he generally did a good job of charming the international scene despite everything

I wanted to bring up something like The Broken Earth series, but I suppose some people would find that woke too

As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they've been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there's definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.

I always thought couscous was it's own grain and was confused by your statement so I had to look it up.

TIL couscous is made from wheat flout, semolina specifically, and is technically a pasta.

That said, the title of the map does say it's comparing staple foods, not grains. Makes perfect sense to do IMO.
