Not as far as I'm aware.
There is the GFCI in the switch box, but yeah, both gfci+grounded would be preferable.
You'd think so, but the ground will either be at the bottom of the outlet, requiring a separate cable, or Type-B.
Yup. Japan also has grounded outlets, though, although they are comparatively rarer.
Japan also accepts bank transfer for online payments. So you don't even need to leave your house.
Preferences are fair enough! There's no accounting for taste.
I also think social norms are also important to consider. Pufferfish is a delicacy here, and I won't turn it down if it's offered at a social event. It's just not polite. Likewise, I won't refuse a cup of alcohol, since here it signals a lack of willingness to be open and friendly. We don't live in isolation.
Considering that we've yet to properly understand most of the processes in our body, I think it's very hubristic to just think that we've "designed crops that don't kill us." The operating principle is "as far as we know," which isn't much to go by.
What's worse, the people behind these "designer crops" are purely profit-driven. Their sole motivation is the accumulation of capital above all else. They are only concerned about human health when the effects are too obvious to ignore. This is a failing of modern society, but that's a whole other discussion.
For an example, does eating modern refined flour kill us? Not immediately... So I think I'll take 2.5m years over 10,000, just to be on the safe side.
Bear fat! I don't think I can get much of that here, would have to go very far north.
No thanks. It's not for me.
Planar Magnetic headphones. Can't go back.
