Perhaps not coincidentally, in a way that us humans don't understand, as the US entered the maintenance phase of a declining civilization around the year 1971 or so, email was invented by Ray Tomlinson that same year. God bless Mr Tomlinson.

Now email has become a major source of Stacking, workplace and otherwise.

Many people are "onboarded" via emails to their personal inbox on their own time, etc., etc. A few years ago, the average office worker spent about 2.5 hours per day checking and responding to an average of 121 emails per day, much of it outside normal working hours. Nowadays, it is anecdotally reported that the same workers receive 200-300 emails per day.
Here are 10 startling statistics about email use:

[*]Statistics show that the average office worker receives 121 emails per day.
[*]The average number of emails sent and received each day keeps rising. Last year emails averaged around 281 billion per day. By 2023, we can expect an increase to 347 billion per day.
[*]By 2023, the number of email users worldwide will reach 4.4 billion. That’s up almost 16% from 3.8 billion users last year.
[*]Most people check their email at least once a day. 19% check emails as soon as they hit the inbox.
[*]49% of US employees check their work email every few hours while they’re off duty.
[*]9% of US workers constantly check work email outside of working hours.
[*]55.6% of email users read their emails on a mobile device.
[*]A Michigan State University study reveals that the overuse of email hinders leadership ability in managers.
[*]Employees spend more than 90 minutes per day recovering from email interruptions.
[*]About 14.5 billion spam emails are sent per day. Loss in productivity because of spam costs businesses around $20.5 billion a year.

Jean Calment smoking

AI Overview

Jeanne Calment, the longest-living person in recorded history, started smoking at age 21 and continued until she was 117 years old. She notably only quit the habit because her failing eyesight made it difficult to light the cigarettes herself.

Despite her smoking, she lived to a verified age of 122 years and 164 days.

Here are a few specific details about her smoking habit and lifestyle:

Frequency: She didn't chain-smoke; she typically averaged only about two cigarettes per day.

Lifestyle Add-ons: Alongside her cigarette habit, she indulged in nearly a kilogram (2.2 lbs) of chocolate per week and ended her daily meals with a glass of port wine.

Health View: While her case makes a fascinating Wikipedia anomaly, medical experts highlight that her longevity is an extreme outlier and smoking remains a leading cause of cancer and heart disease.
God bless her. My Grandfather smoked about a pack a day and lived to 88. I have never tried.

This country is a mess. Most of our women are a mess. This woman is a blithering idiot. I tried to get through it all but couldn't finish.
In practice, we can be just as quick to protect our own men and reassure ourselves that it is different because our men vote the right way.
