I don't know about energy efficiency, but I'd imagine it's pretty good, but a Japanese rice cooker is cheap and reliable with perfectly cooked rice every time.
I have a Philips but I know there are lots of Japanese brand rice cookers that are more reliable. It can also be used for steaming.
My dad was going grey, so my brother bought him ‘just for men’ hair dye, which he opened at the Christmas dinner table with the entire family. He was about 9. We still laugh about it.
Good job on not serving her. Unfortunately in service culture where the customer is always right, there often is no blowback from customers being rude or unreasonable. There needs to be pushback, even small victories are still a win.
Some of those negative stereotypes were started as a method to dehumanise and control. As one of those stereotypes that notes racism each time I'm in the UK, it's definitely not a case of British people thinking they are not better than others.
Not on a per person basis. China also does the most to combat climate change, purely by virtue of its population. It also does the most research, has the most homed people, has the most fed people, delivers the most babies etc etc.
When dealing with different countries with wildly different populations, it's the amount per person and change per person that counts the most.
Unfortunately, by dividing by country, it becomes a game theory problem in that the actions you do don't have an effect. It's collective actions that work. As this becomes more imperative, the cost of those not acting will not be borne by countries that are and they will be punished in trade tariffs.
I would also expect an I crease in carbon tariffs worldwide. They are allowable under wto rules and with the USA implementing tariffs, other countries will seek ways to do the same while protecting themselves. The USA not following two rules would be a boon to China and Russia to ignore patent laws. It will be carrot and stick.
I'm not an admin but don't they keep changing them so that you can't prevent these updates with group policy alone.
Which is likely why they are not bothering to fix it.

If only journalism was this blunt at an earlier point than after he won, again.
I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.
I've never really used Linux as a daily driver. Back in the same Ubuntu period as you, intrialled it but got sick of software compatibility problems. So much is cloud web based these days, that it's less of an issue.
What surprised me as a distro hopped looking for my home laptop flavourz was how different it was to install different software, such as docker. Some distros it was a hassle to run well. Some it needed workarounds, whichh surprised me.
So, I'd look at what you plan to run, then decide between opensuse, pop, mint or fedora and how easy they support what you want to do. I dipped back into Ubuntu but they have started to make some m$ style choices where you have to take back control as they try to make your PC act like they want not how you want.
All can be made to support whatever you want but not all do our of the box.
