I make my burgers at home on a grill and they are far tastier than any fast food burger. Obviously cheaper as well. It's not like you need a lot of cooking skills to grill a burger and then top it exactly as you like it.

Posted in: Abe thinks it's imperative for Japan to have some kind of independent attacking power against China or North Korea. And that includes possibly a nuclear arsenal. But he also knows it would be suicidal for any politician to advocate for Japan to have nuclear weapons, so he wants to activate the debate. See in context
Why care at all what Abe thinks? He is no longer the PM.

Posted in: How will COVID end? Experts look to past epidemics for clues See in context
So according to you, fully vaccinated means, 2 shots only!
Correct?
Correct.
U.S. health officials say you are fully vaccinated two weeks after your second shot of a two-dose vaccine like Pfizer’s or Moderna’s or after a single-dose vaccine like Johnson & Johnson’s.

What is the difference between fully vaccinated and (both) vaccinated and boosted?
One group is vaccinated . A second group is vaccinated to the same degree but also have had a booster shot.
Not really that much of a puzzler.

In all my life, I've never once met anyone who participates in curling, met anyone who knows anyone else who participates in curling, or heard of any place where people participate in curling. Where do these people come from?
My high school had curling club. Coed teams. Lots of fun.
Many curling rinks in my home country, even in some very small towns. Lot's of beer consumed after the game keeps the fun going.

Incorrect statement. The majority of artists are not wealthy. They do not milk anyone. I have been an artist for 50 years.
Zichi-the poster in question did not say the majority of artists are or are not wealthy. All they said is artists will milk rich clients, (obviously) given the opportunity. Banksy comes to mind.
