I can't recommend Tactical Breach Wizards enough, even if just as a filler since you can complete the main story line rather quickly, but it's still really fun.

Correct, so you'd trip a breaker. You wouldn't however electrocute yourself.

Ahhh I just looked it up, it's an app that allows you to use the physical ID card for online verification. I knew that one, thought we have a fully digital ID now. That'd be a real innovation.

German here: There's an ID app??? Seriously, I never heard of that.

I switched from team sports to individual or 1 vs 1 where risk of injury is significantly lower.

Badminton, Paddle ball, ultimate frisbee, yoga, cycling.

As someone who lived in China for 7 years, the alternative is that the next best person who enters the bathroom takes all available paper home.

In my entire time there, I can count the number of times where paper was available on a single hand, with spare fingers.

Naturally, everybody carries a box of tissues at all times.

A gram is not the base unit, it started with one meter (hence, metric).

Kilo means thousand in Latin, so 1000 meters became one kilometer (aka, one thousand meters), and when they need smaller units, they took to Latin again, simply because the language was en vogue for science:

Deca (ten): Decimeter (dm, nowadays hardly used, but it exists) = 0.1m

Centum (hundred): Centimeter (cm) = 0.01m

Mille (thousand): milimiter (mm) 0.001m

Weights were then adopted from the dimensions based on practicality, i.e. one liter was a common enough volume that people could use it in a household, and it's defined by 1dm height x 1dm length x 1dm width. Or 10cm10cm10cm (same thing, but the base notation was units of one).

In the first place they must not be compromised with dead man switches from the US.

NewPipe as well, without any update either.

What's that supposed to be? Never seen those before, and I'm in my 40s.

It's a nice concept for interpersonal relationships regardless of the setting, but it's got limited applicability in a results driven setting.
