Or as Israeli journalist and parent Haviv Rettig Gur put it, ““It is me knowing that in my street, every neighbor I have, the ones I like, the ones I'm arguing with about parking spaces, is going to run into fire for my kids. And therefore, I know that I will run into fire for their kids. It is that firm knowledge which is true across Israeli society.”

Some analysts believe Israel scores so high for a number of factors, including having one of the premier health plans in the world, and a strong sense of community across the small nation.

Each respondent provides a numerical response on this scale, referred to as the Cantril ladder. Typically, around 1,000 responses are gathered annually for each country.

This year, Israelis completed the survey in January, post October 7, three months into the Gaza war and after a brutal year of division over the judicial reform proposals. Guess where Israel landed: Fifth! Behind four Nordic countries! The US dropped several slots to 23rd.

But even better news on the Israel front came in this year’s World Happiness report. The report bases its subjective analysis on what they call “Life evaluations”. The Gallup World Poll, which remains the principal source of data in this report, asks respondents to evaluate their current life as a whole using the image of a ladder, with the best possible life for them as a 10 and worst possible as a 0.

Yeah, still not buying most of the "grassroots" protesting.

Anybody know why I am not currently able to upload a photo to CoSo Android? It shows uploading but then doesn't actually show the picture. It's just a normal jpg. Restarted the app but haven't tried from the Web yet.

I had never stepped into a Brooks Brothers in my life as I had never needed such high end clothes nor wanted to drop hundreds for stuff I'd only end up wearing a few times...until this past weekend. My wife's cousin and her boyfriend both work at flagship stores in NYC and were visiting us in CA. They generously offered to use their 70%!!! employee discount for us to buy a few things. This polo is made of Supima cotton and it is sublime. Durable, ultra soft, minimal shrinkage. I'm sold!

I actually still own this machine but now there are web-based emulators that can run anything. The funniest historical bit about this machine is that the 3rd party software developers couldn't use trademarked or copyrighted names so we got titles like Mr Pac, Polaris (Missile Command), Space Raiders, and my favorite, Donkey King!

Look what I found from 1980.

@Alfred what does the acronym HAP stand for?
