Qingqing: Huahua, may I borrow your computer for a bit?
Huahua: What’s wrong? What happened to yours?
Qingqing: I don’t know what’s going on. It keeps crashing suddenly. My laptop and phone are the same. It’s so annoying.
Huahua: Ah, it must be because of “Mercury retrograde.” It just started this year, and you’re already feeling the effects.
Qingqing: Mercury retrograde? You actually believe that?
Huahua: So many Taiwanese people believe in astrology. What’s the big deal?
Qingqing: I think all my devices are just getting old. It’s time to replace them. It has nothing to do with Mercury retrograde.
Huahua: Oh, and they say Mercury retrograde affects relationships, too. If you don’t believe it, I won’t say anything. I’m going to the restroom. Go ahead and use my computer.

But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
