I switched to Linux full time (I’d gone back and forth for a while) about 10 years ago when my XP laptop died.
I had access to Windows 7 via work, but I didn’t like how much telemetry was being sent back to MS…

Now I’m just imagining Pliny the Elder with access to TikTok:
Pliny the Elder, The Natural History - BOOK XXVIII. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM LIVING CREATURES:
The human bite is also looked upon as one of the most dangerous of all. The proper remedy for it is human ear-wax: a thing that we must not be surprised at, seeing that, if applied immediately, it is a cure for the stings of scorpions even, and serpents.

For the cure of cataract, it is reckoned a good plan to apply a wolf’s excrements

I got the Oasis/roll with it bit (probably because I’m old), but I had to look up what oasis soup was.
OASIS (Oldways Africana Soup In Stories) is a celebratory anthology of culturally-informed soup recipes that seeks to foster and expand conversation about nutritional knowledge and Black women’s wellness.

Edit: Though the book may have been based on the original joke, come to think of it…
Not sure I’d categorise us as a civilised country at the moment, but in the UK it’s a full week before your employer can ask for a note: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave
Anyone remember this XBox ad?
Apparently it was banned, but I remember seeing it fairly regularly so it must’ve been around for a while before that happened…
On around the 12th October last year, there was an interview on the BBC World Service with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.
He confidently estimated it would take ‘about 4 weeks’ to completely destroy Hamas.
