If you're not a wage slave and have a bigger home, think of all the hobbies and interests you can pursue, new things to learn, time to meet people and space to host them, charity work... And you have the energy for things that a job would drain from you otherwise. I think life would be drastically different.

I doubt that many people have a car

99 percent of the country have access to a DAB+-compatible receiver

That's surprising. I didn't think many people still listen to radio.

For me Indonesia was the worst, I had constant stomach problems. Vietnam just some light issues, other countries were mostly fine actually.

It shouldn't be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.

I got food poisoning at least 4 times in the couple of months I was in Asia. I even found a place where they stored their "fresh" ingredients next to the toilet. I still have stomach issues >10 years later and I think my Asia trip may be related to that.

It depends on the location. I admit I've been to McDonald's in Asia, just because my stomach couldn't take the pain anymore. The price of a small menu was the same as a full meal elsewhere, but they treat you like you're in a fancy place.

As much as I want to avoid McDonald's, they are (were?) often the only fair-priced food place when you're in a large, touristic area.

Travel, nothing tech related

Fwiw, my blog's statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they're not, so I wonder how it's measured.

Not to mention storage space. Like most people their generation, my parents have a garage and an attic. All this extra space to hoard stuff

The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

This is not piracy. We've always been allowed to record e.g. radio and TV for personal use.
