Left: Dark chocolate with softer dark chocolate inside. Mmmm...Right: Crushed macadamia nuts mixed with white chocolate and poured into a cup made of dark chocolate. May be the best of the box.
NOD32 seems to be the best antivirus program I've used so far. Monitors almost everything except my email, but only because I'm not using an email program like Microsoft Outlook. It even automatically scans my downloads, and does it so fast it doesn't pop anything up.
It also receives update automatically and daily, something that makes me trust it more. Doesn't slow my computer down when it updates. It does slow it down when I scan files, but most files take mere seconds to be completely scanned. It's so fast, scans finish before it even finish estimating the scan time. The only exceptions are when I scan huge files in the gigabyte scale.
Cancer is the number ONE killer in Singapore. 27.7% of all deaths in Singapore in 2007. Hence, if you're a Singaporean you've got more than 25% probability of dying a painful death.
Suicide is the number ONE killer among Singapore youths. In 2007, 2.2% of all Singaporean deaths were by suicide. Chances are you're going to cause a janitor somewhere sleepless nights just because "you can't take it anymore". I mean, how is a decent civilized guy supposed to fall asleep after mopping your brains off the floor?
Singapore also has the highest execution rate in the world, probably due to the strict drug trafficking laws. But that's only 13.57 executions per million population.
Actually I was wondering how Singapore handles bodies that do not have family or friends to settle their funeral. Do they get cremated and dumped into some mass grave or something? Or do they just throw them into the Straits of Johor (FUCK YEA LOVE MALAYSIA!)?
Was searching for some answers when I found those stats. Anyway in 2007, heart diseases that involve not having enough blood going to the heart muscles was the second killer with a kill rate of 19.8%. Second runner-up was pneumonia at 13.9%.
Therefore over half of all Singaporeans are going to die of these 3 diseases, none of which will give a peaceful death. Well, a heart attack would be the best among the 3 since it's fast.
So, if you've always thought that you're going to grow old and die in your sleep with a smile on your face, think again. You should be happy just to die quickly. Cancer, for one, will not give you a quick death. Instead, it's going to be relatively slow and quite painful (which is why they give terminal cancer patients morphine, and lots of it because they won't live long enough to suffer the consequences of morphine addiction). In fact in some parts of the world, if the patients are planning to die at home under the care of family members, nurses would give them more than enough morphine. The unspoken advice is that they can overdose themselves if a quicker end is desired.
Therefore I recommend suicide when you think you're going to die anyway. There are many ways to die painlessly and neatly. Stop f*cking jumping off buildings - it's not nice to the public and you're not giving your family a good dead face to remember you by if you land head-first. Hanging is horrible too. Suffocation is always horrible and it's pretty obvious once you know how a body looks like after hanging without breaking the neck.
Talking about breaking necks, the Singaporean execution is actually quite humane. Most of the time the criminals just snap their spines and die in an instant, though some have thick necks and survive the initial fall. Well, too bad for them.
One of the most popular ways to die painlessly is by breathing stove gas or carbon monoxide produced by burning charcoal. This is almost perfect - easily accessible and cheap, except that if you want to stop before you fall unconscious, you're still going to suffer permanent brain damage. This is an important point for the ladies because studies have shown that women tend to commit suicide by slitting their wrists, which gives them time to rethink their decision.
Anyway I may have mentioned this before, but I'll say again that I believe in breathing helium. Helium tanks can be bought legally, I think. Just don't stick the hose right into your mouth because it's PRESSURISED gas. Use a plastic bag. It'll be exactly the same as breathing carbon monoxide but completely reversible if the gas supply stops for some reason. You'll just wake up with a squeaky voice.
Alright, back to my original question. Does anyone know how Singapore handles bodies that have no family and not a single friend?
One Antarctic ice shelf has quickly vanished, another is disappearing and glaciers are melting faster than anyone thought due to climate change, U.S. and British government researchers reported on Friday.
I think it is time people stop finding ways to stop global warming, and start planning on how to adapt to the changing Earth. Scrambling towards Bukit Timah is one solution, but I was thinking of something more... long-term. Like getting the f*ck out of flood-prone areas in countries that experience regular floods, and actually having an emergency pack at home. And obviously, everyone should start to learn to swim.
In France, the custom of kissing the cheeks as a form of greeting is called a "bise".
Immortality may be possible after all! Scientists have found a species of jellyfish that can revert back to its juvenile state after having sex and may be able to do so indefinitely. Problem now is that for some unstated reason these creatures aren't dying enough, so we're heading towards a jellyfish epidemic in the future.
With its ability to reverse its aging process, this makes the whole situation many times worse than the other jellyfish invasion that are already happening in polluted seas. Because certain other species of jellyfish seem to be able to survive in dirty waters where other sea creatures can't, fishermen in some parts of the South China Sea and etc are finding their nets filled with large numbers of jellyfish instead of fish.
Just mortal jellyfish can be such an annoyance, so you can imagine what undying jellyfish can do.
Of course, much research is being focused on its immortality. It's a swimming fountain of youth!
So did the Kwangmyongsong-2 enter orbit? Both Russia and, understandably, North Korea said yes. South Korea and the US said no. Reuters made no mention of it, probably because it can't be confirmed from these confusing reports.
On the other hand, the most worrying problem is the rocket itself. One South Korea newspaper reports that it was able to fly long enough to almost reach Guam, which is controlled by the US, making it usable as more than just a satellite-launching tool.
Seriously, Kim's crazy. But his mad boldness is what makes everyone in Asia watch him instead of Burma, the next shittiest country in Asia.
