damn, I forgot the other ones.
There is a mutation which increases the likelihood of surviving Bubonic Plague. Not a big deal nowadays but up until 330 years ago it made a really big difference.
When Covid first started and the Chinese were not being so defensive about it, their data indicated that people with certain blood groups were far more likely to die than people with other blood types. As it happens, my blood group was "low risk" and - even though I was frequently exposed to people who had it - it took almost three years before I caught it myself, and then it was over in around a week. Of course the virus itself had mutated far away from the original version - it turns out that killing (or incapacitating) the host is not a good strategy for a virus and newer variations were less dangerous.

Don't play with things you don't understand.
Take sickle cell anaemia for example. It is an extremely unpleasant - and life shortening - condition, but the underlying gene mutation protects against Malaria. If someone inherits the gene from one parent, they have the Malaria protection. If they inherit from both parents, bad news. All this has been known for some time now, and nowadays the gene is probably more trouble than it's worth, except in areas where Malaria is endemic.

What about the Evil Bit? How do they handle that? (nowadays usage of a Google domain should act as a substitute).

Plausible Deniability.

I'm from the UK and have visited Mississippi, and I find those statistics rather implausible - even if they are immediately Post-Brexit and at a time when Boris Johnson was blighting the political scene.

Trump's election interference was a complete success, his opponent seems to have secured around 2/3 of the seats (the final result is not in yet). I'm assuming Trump was really rooting for Péter Magyar against Viktor Orbán (should that now be Loser Orbán?), and his proclaimed support was a false flag operation.

Liquor sales in adjacent border areas of Alabama, SE Louisiana and Tennessee have gone through the roof. Not sure about Arkansas or the other Louisiana areas, there aren't many bridges over the river and they can serve as choke points for border checks.
Let's hear it for interstate commerce!

Sounds like the kiss of death to me, when are the first results announced?

I'm not on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn . . . what else is there? I doubt very much that I'm on that either.
This has me worried now, "age-related cognitive decline" has presumably regressed so far that I'm in danger of becoming a pre-teen. Given that AntiSocial Media is a fairly new phenomenon, "age-related cognitive decline" must be something completely new. Pardon my scepticism.

What's your position on Brave? Chromium-based but - allegedly - with the spy stuff removed.

They are proving that Outlook will fail anywhere, this is valuable knowledge. Oh, and New Outlook will fail everywhere - they are testing them so that we don't have to.

That was the only Samsung app I routinely used, not least because I did not want to give Google my meta-data, but then I decided they had it anyway and it was getting to be time to get a new phone - and I wanted the freedom to move away from Samsung if I found anything better. I did not find anything better, and my replacement is good for OS updates for several years.
Rather amusingly, a few years ago they announced that their browser was one of the most popular ones worldwide based on the number of times it had been downloaded. That for a browser on a dominant player in the Android market's devices, a browser which could not be deleted and which received frequent updates. Don't trust any statistics you did not fake yourself!

Used the Samsung App up until around two years ago, then switched to the Google one (my old Samsung was going out of OS support and I was not sure its replacement was going to be the same make). Switching was trivially easy, and my messaging history was then available under both apps.
I don't use messaging much anyway and as far as I could discern, Google Messages was marginally better than the Samsung version.
My newer phone is another Samsung (a year old now) but does not appear to have that messaging app of theirs.

Damn! My mod points expired through disuse some time over the last 5-6 hours.

My Kilimanjaro suggestion was aimed at people who had always planned to turn back long before getting anywhere near the top, and I felt the need to point out that 3000m is not a big deal for most people.
I'm not a mountain climber, although I'll walk or ski at those altitudes without a second thought, although ski touring (walking uphill through deep snow with "skins" on my skis) is not something I'm planning to do again at my age.
