The ice caves, ironically, generates with no regular ice

The ice caves, ironically, generates with no regular ice

Snowy biomes such as frozen ocean, frozen river, ice spikes and snowy plains generate regular ice. However, the new ice caves (in latest java snapshot) do not, they generate only with packed ice. This is not only inconsistent with the other snowy biomes, but inconsistent with the very name of the biome.

What car plate is this?

Yesterday I saw a car with plate S4253TE. It is unusual as usually a car will have 3 alphabets, numbers and then 1 letter. However this car has only 1 letter at the start and 2 at the end of the plate. What's up with this?

Why marriage in Singapore is a bad idea (especially for men)

Personally, I would advise against getting married in Singapore unless there's a very strong reason to do so, due to the following reasons.

Firstly, the government is already involved in many aspects of our lives, from education and finance to healthcare. I feel that bringing legal involvement into a personal relationship can sometimes be more than necessary.

Next, divorce can become legally complicated and expensive, especially when property, finances and other assets are involved. The Women's Charter is also the legal framework for matters such as divorce, matrimonial assets and maintenance, which are things I think people should understand before getting married.

Additionally, not everyone is heterosexual, and people have different orientations and relationship structures. Marriage isn't necessarily something everyone needs or want.

That said, if someone feels that having their relationship legally recognised is important to them, there's nothing wrong with getting married. I'd just encourage people to do it intentionally and only after seriously considering what marriage means for them.

I'm interested in hearing different perspectives, especially from people who are married or have chosen not to marry.

Influenza cases hit new high - Mask up on public transport!

According to the latest Weekly Infectious Diseases Bulletin released by the Communicable Diseases Agency (E-week 35), the positivity rate of influenza among ILI samples is 38%. That means almost 2 in 5 tests are positive.

To protect yourself and the people around you from catching infectious diseases, it is recommended that you wear a mask on the MRT, buses and crowded areas, wash your hands frequently and stay home if you are unwell, except for seeing a doctor. Thank you.

Only boys are caned in schools – but what does that teach our daughters?

There is a particular policy in Singapore that I personally feel is gender discriminatory, namely caning in judicial and school contexts. Apart from that, I don't think caning solves the root cause of wrongdoing, inflicts physical and possibly psychological harm which is highly criticised by a reputable human rights organisation, Amnesty International. I have created a petition to call for its abolition:

What's with the lake in the middle of Seremban?

I was in Seremban visiting family and I saw a lake in the town centre. I think I heard it was an unfinished construction project. Do anyone know what happened or if there are any plans to develop the area?

PewDiePie’s Minecraft Part 1 just hit 60M views

PewDiePie's first Minecraft video just hit 60 million views, nearly seven years after it was uploaded.

It's crazy to think that this was one of the videos that helped revive Minecraft's popularity around 2019. It went on to become one of the most-viewed Minecraft videos on YouTube, and it's still getting views all these years later.

If you haven't watched it yet, go check it out. And if you watched it back when it came out, maybe it's time for a revisit. It's pretty wild looking back at the video that helped kick off such a huge Minecraft resurgence.

Found a 2006 YouTube video with 0 views

I found a video uploaded in 2006 by @aloneness813 that still has 0 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments nearly 20 years later. It's the channel's only upload, and the channel has no subscribers.

This is literally the rarest YouTube video, having been there for almost 20 years with absolutely no views.

Do you all think PSLE is too early in the year now?

As an older sibling I noticed my brother being very stressed in PSLE revision as the PSLE is held earlier in the year than it has ever been. A few years ago the written papers were held in the first half of October, now they are held in September. Being less than 2 weeks into Term 4, this can cause significant stress. Do you all think it should be held later like in October so it can reduce the revision crunch?

Buying a car in Kuala Lumpur may not be worth it

I was comparing a few routes on Google Maps, including Kajang → Bangi and KL Sentral → KLIA, and looked at the estimated travel times by car versus MRT/train.

What surprised me was that, depending on traffic, driving can take up to twice as long as taking public transport. With the amount of congestion around KL and the Klang Valley, I started wondering whether owning a car is really worth the tens of thousands of ringgit if you live in an area with good public transport connections. For people living and working around KL/Selangor, would relying more on public transport actually make more sense?

First generation Circle Line trains need an upgrade

A few days ago, I rode a Circle line 1st generation train (Alstom Metropolis C830) and noticed numerous issues:

  1. The train cabin is dimly lit as some lights are less bright/fully non-functional.

  2. Cabin is rather warm as the air conditioner might not be as good.

  3. The paint on the wall is peeling off, exposing bare metal.

  4. The floor is heavily worn at some areas.

  5. The livery outside the train was originally bright red, it has faded.

I would suggest an upgrade for Circle line 1st generation trains to fix the issues above, and install an LED display or screen replacing the route map sticker above the doors just as all other MRT trains in Singapore have already done that. Additionally, the seats can be streamlined to better manage peak hour crowd.

I found a 2006 YouTube video with only 2 views

I was browsing old YouTube videos and found "funny" by crazyg464, uploaded in 2006.

It has just 2 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments. It's also the channel's only video, making it an incredibly obscure piece of early YouTube history.

It's crazy to think that after almost 20 years, this video has only been watched twice.
