do you know where can I find a whole collection of those emoticons?

EDIT: ok, the image sometimes works and other time isn't, but it's the emoticon tartufo uses in the avatar....
EDIT 2: nevermind, a little search I found it. its "rabbit tzuki" if you want to know.
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

My laptop has 3 years. Is that its limit? Or, how long did your laptop last?
My old Dell Inspiron laptop, which I got in 2001, still works (so that's 10 years--however the hard drive had to be replaced once), but it has a hard time with internet nowadays (MS Office and such still work fine though), so I've been using a Sony Vaio since 2008 (3 years so far) and I hope it will last a long time (because I love a standard-sized screen and Windows XP). Also, the Dell Dimension desktop that my family bought in 2000 (11 years so far) still works fine too.
Anyway, it seems to me that if you take good care of your computer, it can last many years. But I only have experience with these three models--the life may be shorter or for different models. But a lifetime of only 3 years seems way too short.

Is it possible for radiation to transmit into books and etc?
Yes.
That's still the last of a problem for you when it comes to radiation.
If the books are not used, they are tightly sealed.
There's loads of stuff in your house that is far more radioactive
than a book that has not been dipped in ionizing water is.
But indeed, you are being too paranoid.
You're more likely to get cancer due to radon.

Perhaps, but if so it would probably be in such low quantities that it won't pose a risk to your health; if you want to be absolutely sure, get a Geiger-Müller counter and check if the books you receive are radio-active.

Thank you very much to both of you for your replies!~

Hm... I think the storeowner told me some of the books at the warehouse actually got wet by the flooding... =A=;;

To further unsettle you, it seems that Madame Curie's actual books are so radioactive that they can't (shouldn't, but that's splitting hairs) be directly interacted with, so you may want to be cautious. Buy a geiger counter too.

These should be bought anyway - you'll need them when the apocalypse comes. Also start stockpiling your bottlecaps.
My random question is: How many shirts should one own? I feel like I have hardly any, but people tell me that I have too many! I have maybe 6 that I wear on a regular basis.

The amount of shirts you own and wear is up to you. The number does not affect society in any way. There is no "should" in the matter.

Enough that you don't run out before you can do a full load of laundry & have clean ones again; not so many that they take up more shirt-storage space than you have. Other than that, totally up to you. 🤣

I think what he's saying is, "go crazy". Really, nobody will judge you unless you start running out of space for them.

Thanks a lot guys. I feel so much better now. 😛
Good thing I have a spare hazmat suit lying around my house then. 🤨
I have another question here, does anyone know the Japanese name for character Pandapple?

It's still Pandapple except Japanese-y: パンダップル, pandappuru.
