Sounds logical to me to use Firefox in a very cold place, you know, cause people die if they freeze to death.

The electricity map is partially wrong: Japan has 100v, instead of 110v. The frequency's are correct: the North is 60Hz, the South is 50Hz.

I feel like the "Welcoming to Foreigners" map should have split up the U.S. There are parts that are much less/more welcoming than others.

What's going on with spirits being the most popular alcohol in Saudi Arabia?

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Araq and other similar drinks are most common in that area. Also, Iran occupied the 19 position in the use of alcohol. some 420 million L

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Legally, most of the residents can't imbibe. Those that can, are rich and there's no in-country production, so spirits are cheaper to get.
