Precordial catch

You should definitely assemble a new scene with this one as a casualty on the ground! It looks very naturally damaged.

Which pro-nuclear posters are pro-fossil fuels and anti-turbine? I’ve never encountered anyone like that.

I don’t know how much weight I put on a British person’s opinion on issues relating to the Irish and Ireland.

Eh, I think you might think heat pumps are more complicated than they are. I think they’re about as complicated as a furnace. At the end of the day, in both your just pumping a gas from one place to another, changing the state of the gas, and then running that past air to heat or cool it.

This is true. It’s what I tell my mom because she never picks up her phone! 😄

A situation like that has only happened to me once… and they didn’t call, they emailed me.

Ah, see in my opinion going to voicemail is just the risk you take if you call someone.

Sometimes you don’t want that :)

Sure, my work uses discord, and I know friends that use it. But my family doesn’t. Plus, if you do sales, or job searching, or anything that involves talking to people for work who don’t directly work for your company then Discord is a little awkward. A phone or zoom call is better.

I actually agree with you on that one. I hate voicemail. If I don’t pick up, shoot me a text or send a voice recording through the messaging app.

I can see why you’d fear phone calls then. In my family I get a call from my dad about once a week to ask about my day. Usually the family texts more in the mornings, and more phone calls in the evening. Plus for a while I had to pick up the phone anytime someone called for work reasons. You just get used to it after a while.

Damn dude, it’s not that big a deal. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll find a way to let you know.

No it doesn’t. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll text you to pick up the phone. There’s a reason the terms “phone tag” and “screening calls” exist.

China has a bad ratio of young people to old people. They have a lot of people, but as the population ages there will be fewer working people supporting more retired people. It’s not just about money either. There are a finite number of nurses or caretakers in a country at any given time, so it will mean higher ratio of people needing care to those able to give it. It’s a complex issue that almost every country is going to be dealing with more in the future, but China will probably feel it more than average.
