The problem before was that it was impossible to not "contain" it if it goes right (at least with the previous sterilisation approaches), because a certain area got rid of mosquitoes too quickly, therefore not spreading that infertility wide enough, and then they just moved in again from other areas.

I think the clear answer is that there is no real reason other than habit and sunk cost fallacy.

There may have been some historical event that lead to this convention dominating over others (though I don't really know where to start lookin)

What I gather from this thread is that people probably like the decade the best that they grew up in 🙃

Not carbs, but sugar

I mean we've got the sandwich, the juice and the apple sauce (and I don't actually want to know how much sugar was added to the chips and pickle).
There's like no fibre or complex carbohydrate in that meal whatsoever 🥲

v.a. genau so könnte man ja z.B. auch beim TÜV argumentieren, was nur die Absurdität verstärken würde

Is that a DankPods / GarbageTime reference?

It certainly reads like it. As in they should be grateful that you spent so much money instead of complaining about xyz

I'm finishing the Stormlight Archive series right now and I think I need something with a bit less of the murder / war / violence aspect that many fantasy books have.

Does anyone know some (not necessarily fantasy) fiction books that are less 'depressing' and are easy to read?
