Readit NewsMothers-to-be in the US are much more likely to die in childbirth than in any other developed country. [1]
When it comes to healthcare outcomes, the US is comparable to Latvia and Chile, not developed nations.

It's a societal issue more than a healthcare issue.
So, not to be brutal, but playing music is not an especially valuable thing, and so people really don't need to pay much for it. Ditto for writing books, making ceramics, pretty much anything artistic.
I say this not to be a dick, but simply to point out the economics. When a million other people can do what you do, and live in the same city, then don't expect to make much of a living at it.
Sure there are exceptions (hi Taylor) but that has less to do with actual music and more to do with other factors.
Something many musicians don't understand is that music is not primarily artistic nor technical but cultural.
The question is, do you trust the PRC with your data?
Personally, I avoid most social media sites since I want to reduce the amount of information about me floating around in databases.
One is a Jonsbo N1. The other a Jonsbo N2.
Jonsbo N1 is a pretty good case if the only thing you care about is getting a a small footprint as you can stand the case vertically.
Jonsbo N2 is a better more convenient case in a "cube" shape that feels smaller despite being similar in volume.
One of my builds uses an AM4 motherboard with unregistered ECC. With AM4 motherboards you're limited to any "pro" AM4 cpu, four SATA3 ports, and 2.5 gbe.
The other uses a used SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F with registered ECC. With the Supermicro board you're stuck with an old integrated Xeon with insufficient cooling but get dual 10gbe ports and six SATA3 ports.
I have always been very very conservative with my expenses, I don't expect the situation where I make hundreds of thousands of dollars an year as a developer something that will go on forever. They are out there to get you, you are not a business guy with connections, probably you came from a working class family, if they can, they will take the rug out of your feet. So, don't get too excited thinking that making 300k an year (or even 400, 500, whatever) by itself means you're rich now. Income by itself is not wealth if you don't save it. You really don't need a Peloton bike and other conspicuous consumption signs.
Actual wealth comes from having ownership in wealth generating assets.
You can act rich for a season off of a big paycheck but you'll soon be back to poverty if your money isn't converted into value generating assets.
1. to deny it and be burned at the stake
2. admit it, implicate others and be put to death in a gentler way
I admire the ones who stood for reason and were brave enough to endure the consequences.
The issue of witchcraft is not unchecked beliefs, but the combustible mixture of politics and economics.
Early witches weren't old women performing secret rituals in dense forests. They were the bourgeoisie, who found themselves newly rich during a time of political and economic uncertainty.
The "Malleus Maleficarum" never caught on among the religious elite. Why would they care about the imagined threat of witches when Protestants were out in the open and gaining ground amongst all levels of society?
Where the book did catch on was amongst secular courts. The book provided a convenient justification for condemning political and economic opponents. There it was used to great effect.
CO2 is important to track as high concentrations can impact sleep quality and critical thinking ability.
VOCs is important to track as they are associated with asthma and allergic reactions.
CO2 can only be removed by opening a window.
Most VOCs come from household chemicals and are only removed by using lots and lots of charcoal filters as the HEPA filters in household air purifiers aren't able to capture it in significant amounts.
Technology is static, perhaps even going backwards since the First Age, so no startups, no banking. Do Elves have money?
So many questions
Without a source of magic they eventually lose their bodies and diminish into woodland spirits.
You can't have elves without magic and still have them be elves.
They literally disappear any place without some amount of magic.
