I was being ironic. We have an egg marketing board, so prices don't fluctuate very much. To be honest, I don't really understand why us prices are consistently so much higher. Occam's razor would suggest that it is Monopoly control of the market.
We usually buy our eggs directly from local people who have free-range chickens. We end up paying CAD $5 a dozen, about $3.50 US. In the supermarket, eggs start at about CAD $4 a dozen.
You could always come up to Canada and get yourself some eggs for the equivalent of about $2.50 US. Of course, the prices up here are high because we have a marketing board that limits competition.
Hitting inferiors in the head (especially for doing something foolish) is certainly a common trope in Japanese comedy.
It's been a couple of decades since I lived in Japan, but I don't know if they have experienced the same campaign against childhood violence that we have in North America. A few years ago, corporal punishment was made explicitly illegal both at schools and in the home. I'm not sure how much it has changed.
They are outrageously expensive compared to my hydro Quebec rate of USD $0.05/kWh, or even my previous rate in Ontario of (varying by the the time of day) USD $0.06-0.12/kWh.
96% of Quebec electricity is generated by hydro power, which of course doesn't require any fuel. The other thing, though, is that power generation and transmission is done through a public corporation, not a private one. The profits go into general government revenue.
Not that I trust Rudy at all, but it's quite possible that September 11th was the day he was back in New York city for the commemoration. So he saw it on the day he was at his apartment.
I just lost my premium subscription after about 2 years of paying $3/month in Argentina. Here it's $24/month (family plan). YouTube is unbearable with all the ads. Sometimes a 10-minute video has 3 as breaks. I'm only using it for precise purposes now, not scrolling and exploring, and finding alternatives as much as possible.
I remember going to see a high-tech nursing home, where they had video conferencing with doctors and remote sensors for falls and things like that. That was in about 2000 or 2001. Yes, they are still talking about it.
And I just moved from a province in Canada where the provincial government has to law forcing municipalities to remove bike Lanes, and disallowing people from suing the government for any death or injury caused by a removed bike lane.
Given Trump's physical condition and eating habits, I would be extremely surprised if he even made it to the end of the current term.
