I am reminded of this blog post.
The fact that less infrastructure is needed per person (or per building) in many places compared to North America is probably a contributing factor as well, especially if we're comparing NA to Japan.

Yeah, I really wish it wasn't like this, but replacing a phone's OS is a lot more like flashing a custom bios than installing an OS on a hard drive.
Just as we shape our experiences so to do our experiences shape us; the swarf is a part of you now.
It kinda brothers me when I see something attributed to an entire country when it really only has to do with a small group or area within that county.
Like a single town in India could do some thing, with 95% of the population having no idea about it, and the headline would say "look at this thing India did!". I use India as an example because I feel like this happens with non english speaking or non-western countries more. Like, if it were US researchers that made the silence gun the caption would say "researchers at Harvard" instead of "the US did this".
I think its appropriate to use that phrasing when its something that was done as part of a national government project or policy, if its something that exists across a wide swath of the population/area of the country, or if you are comparing a thing across two countries (e.g. the Taiwanese semiconductor industry vs the South Korean one).
I think most vehicles would have a pretty rough go of it if they fell off of a cliff though, especially if they turned upside down.
It should probably say, "off the Antarctic coast", or even "X kilometers off the Antarctic coast".
I agree about popups and executables (what an absolutely moronic decision to include that crap in browsers), but all the JavaScript BS and "please let us track you" cookie banners in modern websites is a thousand times worse than any use of or could ever be.

Having a legacy is overrated IMO. I would settle for just knowing I had a net positive effect on the world, but even that's a pipe dream.
She was jealous of them? I had assumed she had an allergy, or just couldn't tolerate being around animals for whatever reason.
That's not even choosing between her and the cats, that's just choosing not to date a person who just told you they're psycho.
