Oxford dictionary says:

Originally derived from the Latin sal for salt, meaning something dipped into salt. Now normally a dish of uncooked vegetables; either a mixed salad or just one item (commonly lettuce or tomato).

It's still terrible because of its ram usage, electron uses minimum 300Mb per instance so that's 3GB for 10 apps while if you open them all in Chrome you save 100s of mb

It's a mix of willpower and habits, America has bad regulations on foods making that most foods have added sugars, portions in American culture are massive and everyone drives everywhere because cites were built for the cars.

In Europe we have strict regulations on food, with food scores on the packages telling you how bad it's for your health, our portions are smaller and we generally prefer fresh ingredients to heavily processed products and most European cities are made for walking and cycling.

40% Americans are obese vs ~22% in Europe

You get the same with Australia another car centric country

I've worked for a massive corporation in which they had 300mb+ excel files they bought high specs computers just to have them load fast enough and searching would take 3 to 5 minutes we suggested that they'd try moving it to Microsoft access and the query became instant, I can't imagine the hours wasted waiting for the queries to run
