Skinny isn't everything

A long time ago I heard that short, plump women have a longevity advantage.

Being Underweight Might Be Deadlier Than Being Overweight

Researchers found that overweight individuals, as well as some obese individuals, were no more likely to die than individuals in the upper end of the "normal" BMI range.

mindly.social/@DamonCrowley/11… DamonCrowley@mindly.social - Bear breaks into ice cream store, eats until he passes out. In Tahoe, an ice cream shop had just rolled out its new monthly flavor: honey. Locals loved it, but the surprise fans turned out to be much bigger.

On only the second day of serving it, employees unlocked the shop to find tubs of honey ice cream completely devoured and a massive black bear sprawled out on the floor, fast asleep from his feast.
Wildlife officials were called in. Carefully, they managed to wake the bear and guide him out before relocating him to a safer area away from town.

Researchers explained that bears have an extraordinary sense of smell scientists estimate up to seven times better than a bloodhound allowing them to detect food from miles away. It was no wonder the honey ice cream had lured him straight through the shop’s door.

The local wildlife center ended up covering the cost of the ice cream, and when the owner was asked about it, he just laughed: “As long as someone’s paying, I hope he comes back, that’s the fastest we’ve ever sold out.”

6.67 million workers to leave #Taiwan workforce in two waves | Taiwan News | Sep. 15, 2025 13:15 taiwannews.com.tw/news/6200364

As baby boomers born in the late 1950s and early 1960s reach 65, Taiwan is experiencing the largest wave of retirements in its history, per Liberty Times. Sixteen years later, a second wave will hit as those born in the late 1970s and early 1980s retire.
Ministry of Labor data shows that in the past five graduating classes, around 196,000 college graduates were not enrolled, employed, or in military service. Many are believed to be staying home or rejecting overwork and doing the bare minimum.
In August, Taiwan's population dropped for the 20th consecutive month to 23,328,343. This was a decline of 78,265 from the same time last year, and a decrease of 9,593 from July.
