Snake people are unpredictable, and it’s difficult to second-guess what they are thinking. Don’t expect to see them flitting around from one project to the next; when a snake decides to do something you can be sure that he has thought through every detail of his plan. Snake people are the quintessential epicureans who revel in the finer things in life, like fine wines, good food and sparkling conversation. Due to their inherent introspectiveness, snake people can be misconstrued as shy or aloof.
屬蛇的人難以捉摸，外人很難猜測他們內心的想法。他們做事不會虎頭蛇尾、半途而廢；一旦決定做一件事，一定會先擬定計畫，仔細想過每個細節。肖蛇者是典型的享樂主義者，喜歡沉迷於生活中美好的事物，如：美酒、美食及活潑有趣的談話。因為天性好自省，所以肖蛇者有時會因為害羞或漠然而遭到誤會。
FOR 2009:
Money: A great fortune could be coming your way, but only if you are prepared to work hard for it. If you are lazy, then opportunity will pass you by.
Love: Tread carefully in love this year. Snake people in relationships could be in for a rough time, while single snakes are unlikely to find love.
Health: The biggest danger is letting negative feelings from your love life affect your physical well-being. (John Phillips, staff writer)
二ＯＯ九年的運勢：
財運：可能會得到一筆為數不小的財富，但你得努力工作才能得到。如果太懶散，機會就會和你擦肩而過。
愛情運：要用心維繫感情。有伴侶的人可能會陷入感情低潮，單身者也不太容易找到對象。
健康運：最大的健康危機是讓戀情不順的負面情緒連帶影響健康。(翻譯：袁星塵)

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
