In France in conforama stores salesman use a ascii terminal GUI connected to AIX shells. Fast as hell to take your order. I’m always amazed at how marketing BS lead us to vastly sub optimal solution.

How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg of fat. 20kg in 10 years ! Eat an apple a day and you’ll be massively obese in few years.

Next : mandatory helmet for pedestrians. You never know, it could save your life. It’s not the end of the world to wear one.
