As with pretty much any staple food. It's used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.

If a staple food isn't part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.

Also I enjoy rice. It's neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it's good.

Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That's my guess.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

These would be solicited technically.

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it's much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it's rounded down to 0.

Any Paradox game. Oxygen Not Included. Factorio. Civilization. Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress. The list goes on.

For me I think it's about having non-stop and parallel mini problems/puzzles/goals. By the time one task is finished. There's two more to take its place.

That doesn't make sense depending on the context. New I2C standard switched to controller/target for example. This conveys that one device is controlling the other devices.

A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it's already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.

Japan is just 100V, not 110/115/120, there are some appliances that will use 200V. Similar to how the US has 240V. The weird bit with Japan uses both 50 and 60hz.

It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It's still rough around the edges, but it's definitely there.
