Throughout my already 20 year IT career, I can't even count how many times I've come across extremely paranoid explanations, often in the verge of insanity, of regular computer behavior like basic non obvious algos or glitches. From people otherwise normal. What is interesting, almost never I could change person's mind, once toxic explanation is in.

Recently, with all that internet marketing and real surveillance tech, this worsened a lot. Some humans are just wired differently.

I ran mailinabox several years ago and forgot.. Even if they ever decide to charge for it, I’d pay

The database will be always using utc, but according periods will be always local. Hence was my question, why emphasize this that is?

Basically you go to several dentists and chose the conservative one - it is not that hard. Yeah, most of them are in so so neighbouhoods and have outdated equipment, but you wanted to have less intervention in any case, right?
Greatest works of literature are great now because they survived long enough for some reason. The longer the better. So undiscovered - yes, great - no.

Why no one says it is transparency which is increasing, not things falling apart

How about giving back money to people who paid back their loans, possibly going through even greater difficulties to do that.

People are quick suggesting it is Orthodox, but in reality non-religious women in Israel have a fertility rate of 2.5, and overall contribution mounts over time as generations pass.
After years of self-observations I have a petty theory that, in addition to outside infections, we always have a zoo of cold viruses inside, and different factors trigger them from time to time. I am quite surprised this is never discussed and mentioned by scientific community. BTW for some other viruses this is well documented and acknowledged, but with cold/flu/covid we seem to suffer worldwide scientific amnesia.

So it is not inflation, it is a congestion, a squeeze. When things settle, we'll see lots of supply w/o demand (due to economic players overreacting and new players trying to take advantage) and price drop
Religious claims and cited sources of any group generally worth nothing, we only care about down the earthly deeds and imposed policies when/if in power.

Not every religion is a religion, that is.
