- There's a standard metric for how easy it is to read a text! (were you aware?) Apparently it's so common as to be a feature in many word processing programs. This is one way to generate the "reading level" of a particular chunk. ("That's at a ninth-grade reading level.") There are several ways to do this, actually.

- DepressingFilter: Communication is key. Often, in Japan, retired couples find they really don't know each other, after decades of never spending much time in the same space. Of course, it can't be talked about now, either. Result? Apparently, painful and quiet suffering on the part of the wife, who suddenly has to live with an effective stranger in her house.

- Less depressing, but weird! Electronic hugs, sent over text messages and Bluetooth, straight to your shirt!

- Aaaand, just in case you're falling from an airplane or something: How To Survive A Long Fall. (and these Atlantans want to get together and jump over and off of stuff, with you!)
