Japan states they have 100,000 citizens 100 years old I suspect that half are fake. In Canada officially we have 12,600
100 years old my stats show should be 13,000. Either way following year half should have passed. I trust my stats.

Canada population: 41 million
Japan population: 123 million

If Canada has 13,000 over 100, Japan would have - if their life expectancy was the same - 39,000.

Recently, I had two friends with cancer, one in Canada, and one in Japan. The Canadian died, and the American guy in Japan is in full recovery. His stories about the health care there are astounding in every respect.

correction 11600/400000x100 =0.29
96000/123000000x100=0.77
so 0.77/0.29=2,655 Japan has 2,7 times as many 100 year olds as Canada
Believe that and I have some green cheese from the moon for sale for you. Eating raw fish is that healthy? or many records got destroyed during the war, Think about it. I quess you could do a null hypothesis test.

Japan 0.78 parts per million chance of making 100 Canada 0.25 so Japan 3 .5 times more likely Do not think their DNA is that much better. Or their diet is that good. Lets get real. I know deception when I see it.

I now own a piece of history.

I now own a piece of history. This is trinitite. It's a piece of the sand-melted-to-glass from the first atomic bomb test. if you look closely, under the outer coating of sand grains that stuck to the molten glob, there is a greenish tint to the glass. That's because of the various minerals in the sand that got sucked up into the fireball. The heat melted the sand, and droplets of the molten glass rained down to the ground near the explosion. The trinitite is still mildly radioactive

My aspie mother was on a bus 200 miles from that test. Roads were poor, and nobody noticed a thing.

I love how casual the Mum is about seeing her daughter pushing out a massive snake with a mop while her Dad records it all.

My Trinitite arrived! As expected, after 80 years most of its radioativity has decayed. My geiger counter shows not quite twice my normal background radiation. But still cool!

Did anyone here have a 2-XL toy talking robot as a child? You put an 8-track tape in and it would ask you questions and you’d press buttons to answer them. Here’s a video of it with one of the tapes I had (there are several other videos of other tapes on this channel if you want a better idea of how it worked). The person in this video gets a lot of answers wrong – I did, too, at the time (I was 11 when I got this tape, although I might do better if I were to try it now - mainly because I know more of these things now, not that I remember from then). You’ll notice, as she mentions, that it makes some rather harsh comments when you get the answers wrong. (When I’d play the tapes – and I did repeatedly – I’d always press the answers I knew were correct. My sister often liked to purposely press the wrong answers to see what it said. But I guess it reminded me of the types of reaction and criticism I'd get when I was doing poorly at something in school.)

I find the terms for meal times interesting, they're the same as I grew up with.

Dinner is the midday meal.
The evening meal is called Tea.
Supper means a late night snack.
