子どもがいることでいろいろ共通して見えることもあるから、そういうことを話し合える友達という点で言えば子供ができてから疎遠になった人と付き合いを取り戻したり、ママ友を構築したりというのはありなんだろうな。子供の成長に関する競争なんかもある反面、子連れじゃないとわからないことも共有できるという面もあると思う。
逆に、独身の友人と遊ぶのに子供は邪魔だし、友人も毎回子守させられるのは大変なので子どもが小さいころは託児所なりに預けるという選択になるだろうな。欧米だと子供を託児所に預けて夫婦の時間を取ったり、自分の時間を取ったりするのは普通のことみたいだけれど、日本だと理解されない考え方かもしれない。
これまで連絡してこなかったのに子供ができたら掌を変えて連絡してくるのをどう思うかは増田が考えることじゃなくて、相手が考えることだと思う。それをけしからんと思うなら、なんだかんだ理由をつけて断り、会うこともないと思う。増田が勝手に遠慮することでさらに疎遠にしているだけにしか見えない。
子どもがいない友人たちのほうがこれまでの延長線上で付き合えるから増田的には楽なんだろうけれど、増田がそうやって気楽さを謳歌する中で、友人たちは心から楽しめるかが疑問。きっとこっちのグループの人とはだんだん疎遠になると思う。世の中には欲しくてもできない人がごまんといる。まあ、そういう時に子どもの話されると削られるんだよ。
親になって変われるところは、子どもがいないとできない体験ができることかなと思う。子供の通う園や学校を軸に知人・友達ができたり、子供の習い事ついでに自分も習ってみたりというのは子どもがいないとできない経験だと思う。元増田はそういう扉が開いていることももっと見たほうがいいと思う。

Public education in Norway is free of charge, while kindergartens have parental fees1. According to a report by UNICEF, affordable, quality childcare is accessible in Norway 2. Parents in Norway spend an average of 3,106 kroner per month on pre-school/kindergarten – including free places, food fees, and other additional fees 3.
Any child in Denmark under the age of six is entitled to a place in the public childcare system, as long as both the parent and child have a CPR number and registered address 1. Although childcare is not free, it is subsidized by the state 23.
Child care in Sweden is considered a public responsibility, and is financed by the state, local municipalities, and parental fees 1. When children reach the ages of 3-6 years, childcare provision is free for up to 15 hours a week 2. Before this time, costs are based upon a parent’s income and can be up to 3% of their salary 2. Parents sending their children to part-time preschools and part-time group care pay no fees, while day care centers, family day care centers, and leisure centers for school-age children receive partial state subsidies 1.
It depends on the country in Europe. According to OECD.org, the net childcare costs vary across EU countries 1. For example, in Germany, parents pay between €12 to €400 ($14 to $467) per month for day care1. In the UK, single parents are spending 56.73% of the average earnings on full-time childcare (five days a week) at an average monthly cost of £1,249.932.
保育料月額50万、30万、20万、15万って珍しくないし、
北欧に限定してもあんま日本(保育料の平均は認可保育園で2万円程度、認可外保育園で3〜5万円)と変わらないと思うのですが？
Childcare fees in Norway vary by location, but the national average is SEK 3,106 per month.1 However, childcare fees are set at no more than 6% of a family's total capital and personal income, with the maximum amount set at the parent's maximum childcare fee.
ノルウェーの保育料金は、場所によって異なりますが、全国平均で月額3,106クローネ（約4万円）です1。ただし、保育料金は、家族の総資本と個人所得の6％を超えないように設定されており、最大額は親の最大保育料金に設定されています2。
According to a Danish web site1, the cost of nursery and kindergarten for children younger than 3 is DKK 3,673 without lunch and DKK 4,331 with lunch included. Nursery and kindergarten for children 3 years and older is DKK 2,020 without lunch, and DKK 2,762 including lunch, from the 1st of the month your child turns 3.
デンマークのWebサイト1 によると、3歳未満の子どもの保育園・幼稚園の費用は、ランチなしで3,673DKK(72,201円)、ランチ付きで4,331DKK(85,131円)です。3歳以上のお子さんの保育園・幼稚園は、お子さんが3歳になった月の1日から、ランチなしで2,020DKK(39,705円)、ランチ付きで2,762DKK(54,289円)です。
Preschool childcare is not free in Sweden, but fees are income-based, with a maximum fee across the country 1,572 kronor (€145) per child per month (fees for 2022)1.
スウェーデンでは就学前保育は無料ではなく、料金は所得に応じて設定されており、全国で子ども1人あたり月1,572クローナ（20,260円）が上限となっています（2022年の料金）1。
単純にお金があってもより良い環境で子どもを過ごさせたくないとかいう話なんですかね？

業務を指示する立場の人が業務を理解してないし業務自体に興味が無いから部下が上司が本来やるはずの仕事を一部肩代わりするケース。
こういうケースだと、管理職タスクをこなしてるのに当の上司本人は金だけ稼いで仕事しない印象になり、部下から疎まれる。
そしてコミュニケーションがぎこちなくなり、気まずさから勝手に部下が仕事をし始めて上司側は部下が勝手にやってることをレポートにまとめて上に報告。
問題になるのは無能上司のさらに上の上司から上司が仕事を依頼された時。部下にまともに話を聞いてもらえないから、
金払って言うこと絶対聞いてくれるコンサルに従順な部下の代わりをさせる。コンサルをうまく使えれば印象もよくなるし、ダメでもコンサルのせいにすればノーリスク。
信じられないかもしれないけどJTCにはこういうしょうーもないオッサンが溢れてるのよ。
バカかつコミュニケーション能力の無いオッサンを幹部に引き上げ続けてるJTCが悪いんだけど、
一旦そういう流れができると幹部層が無能でバカでコミュニケーション能力の無いオッサンだらけになるから、次に昇格する人も似たようなバカになる。
有能を昇格させると無能バカオジサン幹部全員がat riskになるから、いったんバカが上層部の多数派になるとコンサルに大金払って仕事してるふりするオジサンが大量発生する。

C言語のもとになる構造化言語は、1970年代から制御構造を導入したプログラミング言語を指しての「構造化言語」というワードが浮上し、当時のgoto文中心だったFORTRANやCOBOLやBASICを意識してそれと線引きするための用語として存在していました1。C言語は、1972年にAT&Tベル研究所のデニス・リッチー氏が主体となって開発した汎用プログラミング言語であり、C言語はBCPL言語を参考にして開発されました23。C言語は、その後、多くのプログラミング言語に影響を与えたことで知られています。
ごちゃごちゃ余計なことを言ってるが、要は答え：BCPL
後に深堀りすると本当はBであることがわかる。（英語で検索して日本語で要約して……）
しかもこのあとにB言語にはGOTOが存在しないとか嘘までつく始末……。ヤバすぎるだろ……

ちなみに perplexity はB言語にGOTOがあることもちゃんと答えられました。
どっちが本当のことを言ってるのかわからんので、仕様PDF(https://web.archive.org/web/20150317033259/https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/kbman.pdf)見たわ。ってか、そういうメンドイことをやってくれるのを期待して検索チャットAI使ってるんですけど？？？
この作業が必要になるなら口語で検索したりハルシネーションで余計な時間を食わなくて済むだけ、Google使ってるほうがマシですけど？
そしてBing厳密モードはわからないって答えた。わからないって答えるだけましたけども、そもperplexityはちゃんとB言語にGOTOが存在すること答えられてるので、やっぱりBingよりはperplexityのほうがまともであるという結論になる。
何よりもperplexityは余計なことを言わないで聞かれたことだけを答えるし、ハルシネーション少ないからな。

I spent 3 weeks in Thailand last November then went to Japan straight after and it was a massive relief. Thailand is nice but the country just feels like it's catered completely to tourists so I never felt that nice culture shock buzz, plus people just bark at you left right and centre trying to take your money 24/7. Japan is a bit harder to travel around if you don't speak Japanese and it feels a bit harder to make friends but it's just a lot calmer, respectful and there's interesting places and history to experience as opposed to just getting smashed at bars and lounging on a beach everyday
昨年11月にタイに3週間滞在し、その後すぐに日本に行きましたが、とても安心しました。タイはいい国ですが、完全に観光客向けの国という感じで、カルチャーショックを受けるようなことはありませんでしたし、24時間いつでもお金を取ろうとしてくる人がいます。日本は、日本語が話せないと旅行しにくいし、友達を作るのもちょっと大変だけど、毎日バーで飲んでビーチでのんびりするよりも、ずっと穏やかで礼儀正しく、面白い場所や歴史に触れることができる。
日本はこれからますます観光業に依存していくだろうけど、あまり観光客にすり寄りすぎるとむしろ日本の魅力が失われてしまうだろうな
日本の独自性を維持しつつも観光客フレンドリーな国にしていくことが求められている
The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
I pray for your faith and prayers that my utterances will be received and understood “by the Spirit of truth” and that my expressions will be given “by the Spirit of truth” so that we might all be “edified and rejoice together.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)
As I stand here today—a well man—words of gratitude and acknowledgment of divine intervention are so very inadequate in expressing the feelings in my soul.
Six months ago at the April general conference, I was excused from speaking as I was convalescing from a serious operation. My life has been spared, and I now have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings, comfort, and ready aid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderful associates and friends to whom I owe so much and who surrounded my dear wife, Ruby, and my family with their time, attention, and prayers. For the inspired doctors and thoughtful nurses I express my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages of faith and hope received from many places in the world, many expressing, “You have been in our prayers” or “We have been asking our Heavenly Father to spare your life.” Your prayers and mine, thankfully, have been answered.
One unusual card caused me to ponder upon the majesty of it all. It is an original painting by Arta Romney Ballif of the heavens at night with its myriad golden stars. Her caption, taken from Psalms, reads:
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
“… His understanding is infinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)
As I lay in the hospital bed, I meditated on all that had happened to me and studied the contemplative painting by President Marion G. Romney’s sister and the lines from Psalms: “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I was then—and continue to be—awed by the goodness and majesty of the Creator, who knows not only the names of the stars but knows your name and my name—each of us as His sons and daughters.
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)
To be remembered is a wonderful thing.
The evening of my health crisis, I knew something very serious had happened to me. Events happened so swiftly—the pain striking with such intensity, my dear Ruby phoning the doctor and our family, and I on my knees leaning over the bathtub for support and some comfort and hoped relief from the pain. I was pleading to my Heavenly Father to spare my life a while longer to give me a little more time to do His work, if it was His will.
While still praying, I began to lose consciousness. The siren of the paramedic truck was the last that I remembered before unconsciousness overtook me, which would last for the next several days.
The terrible pain and commotion of people ceased. I was now in a calm, peaceful setting; all was serene and quiet. I was conscious of two persons in the distance on a hillside, one standing on a higher level than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The person on the higher level was pointing to something I could not see.
I heard no voices but was conscious of being in a holy presence and atmosphere. During the hours and days that followed, there was impressed again and again upon my mind the eternal mission and exalted position of the Son of Man. I witness to you that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, Savior to all, Redeemer of all mankind, Bestower of infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness, the Light and Life of the world. I knew this truth before—I had never doubted nor wondered. But now I knew, because of the impressions of the Spirit upon my heart and soul, these divine truths in a most unusual way.
I was shown a panoramic view of His earthly ministry: His baptism, His teaching, His healing the sick and lame, the mock trial, His crucifixion, His resurrection and ascension. There followed scenes of His earthly ministry to my mind in impressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. I was being taught, and the eyes of my understanding were opened by the Holy Spirit of God so as to behold many things.
The first scene was of the Savior and His Apostles in the upper chamber on the eve of His betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for His dearest friends as a remembrance of His coming sacrifice. It was so impressively portrayed to me—the overwhelming love of the Savior for each. I witnessed His thoughtful concern for significant details—the washing of the dusty feet of each Apostle, His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of the wine, then His dreadful disclosure that one would betray Him.
He explained Judas’s departure and told the others of the events soon to take place.
Then followed the Savior’s solemn discourse when He said to the Eleven: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)
Our Savior prayed to His Father and acknowledged the Father as the source of His authority and power—even to the extending of eternal life to all who are worthy.
He prayed, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Jesus then reverently added:
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:3–5.)
He pled not only for the disciples called out from the world who had been true to their testimony of Him, “but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.” (John 17:20.)
When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and the Eleven went out to the Mount of Olives. There, in the garden, in some manner beyond our comprehension, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world. His agony in the garden, Luke tells us, was so intense “his sweat was as … great drops of blood falling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agony and a burden the like of which no human person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish our Savior overcame all the power of Satan.
The glorified Lord revealed to Joseph Smith this admonition to all mankind:
“Therefore I command you to repent …
“For … I, God, … suffered … for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …
“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, …
“Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18, 20.)
During those days of unconsciousness I was given, by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, a more perfect knowledge of His mission. I was also given a more complete understanding of what it means to exercise, in His name, the authority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven for the salvation of all who are faithful. My soul was taught over and over again the events of the betrayal, the mock trial, the scourging of the flesh of even one of the Godhead. I witnessed His struggling up the hill in His weakened condition carrying the cross and His being stretched upon it as it lay on the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet into His hands and wrists and feet to secure His body as it hung on the cross for public display.
Crucifixion—the horrible and painful death which He suffered—was chosen from the beginning. By that excruciating death, He descended below all things, as is recorded, that through His resurrection He would ascend above all things. (See D&C 88:6.)
Jesus Christ died in the literal sense in which we will all die. His body lay in the tomb. The immortal spirit of Jesus, chosen as the Savior of mankind, went to those myriads of spirits who had departed mortal life with varying degrees of righteousness to God’s laws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage of death, and of possible salvation, … [which was] part of [our] Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to the human family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977, p. 671.)
I cannot begin to convey to you the deep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon my soul. I sense their eternal meaning and realize that “nothing in the entire plan of salvation compares in any way in importance with that most transcendent of all events, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. It is the most important single thing that has ever occurred in the entire history of created things; it is the rock foundation upon which the gospel and all other things rest,” as has been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)
Father Lehi taught his son Jacob and us today:
“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
“Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
“Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.” (2 Ne. 2:6–9.)
Our most valuable worship experience in the sacrament meeting is the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, for it provides the opportunity to focus our minds and hearts upon the Savior and His sacrifice.
The Apostle Paul warned the early Saints against eating this bread and drinking this cup of the Lord unworthily. (See 1 Cor. 11:27–30.)
Our Savior Himself instructed the Nephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily [brings] damnation to his soul.” (3 Ne. 18:29.)
Worthy partakers of the sacrament are in harmony with the Lord and put themselves under covenant with Him to always remember His sacrifice for the sins of the world, to take upon them the name of Christ and to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. The Savior covenants that we who do so shall have His spirit to be with us and that, if faithful to the end, we may inherit eternal life.
Our Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that “there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacrament as a continuous reminder of the Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He gave instructions that “it is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C 20:75.)
Immortality comes to us all as a free gift by the grace of God alone, without works of righteousness. Eternal life, however, is the reward for obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.
I testify to all of you that our Heavenly Father does answer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge which has come to me has made a great impact upon my life. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a priceless possession and opens the door to our ongoing knowledge of God and eternal joy. Of this I bear witness, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.
ロシア軍のバフムートでの攻撃力「尽きつつある」 ウクライナ軍

ただ日本語では表記が揺れるが、ここでは、アルチョモフスクとする。
まずPMCワーグナーの発表するところではすでにアルチョモフスクの７０パーセントは掌握。すでに中心部はロシアが掃討に入っている。日本でも中央で旗を振っている映像が流れた。
ウクライナの人数は１万人。
ウクライナはバンザイアタックか民間人を攻撃するかしかできない。
そもそもアルチョモフスクにこだわっているのはアメリカ。命令しているのもアメリカ。
したがってあとは全滅か降伏か。
（ＣＮＮ） ウクライナ東部の要衝バフムートにいるウクライナ軍の少佐は２２日までに、バフムートの戦況は依然として極めて難しいものの、ロシア軍は「攻撃力」を失いつつあるとの見方を示した。
この文章はおかしい。ロシアにおされているのにロシアの攻撃力がなくなるのか。説明が全くない。
マキシム・ゾリン少佐はＳＮＳ「テレグラム」の自身のチャンネルに「ウクライナ軍の主な任務は物資の供給や負傷者の退避を可能にするルートを維持することだ」と書き込んだ。
これは補給も撤退もできない。そういう連中がロシアに勝てることはない。
そもそもマキシムゾリンはネオナチ、バンデライナであり、一回負けて捕まって捕虜交換でウクライナに戻っているマキシムゾリン元司令官ではないか。それだと全く信用できない。
ＬＧＢＴ活動家を敵視してWOKEに染まらず、国民を分断しなかったこと
優れた継戦能力 多連装ロケット砲と供給能力、資源 そして技術
高精度ストライクにより大砲で「狙撃」レベルで相手を破壊できるためムダ打ちがないこと。
略奪どころか占領するとすぐ食料や医薬品を供給。カディロフのチェチェンも配っている。このため市民から支持されていること。
今のところこの辺がG7では無理。
