The word average is often used to mean mean, however it can be used less specifically - median is a type of average as well.

From Merriam-Webster definition of average:

1a) a single value (such as a mean, mode, or median) that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values

Also, things like testosterone levels in a population usually follow a normal distribution, where both mean and median are the same, so the distinction is often meaningless for practical purposes

There also appears to be a safari hat on the ground, implying they are eating a tourist? Just extra mood I guess :)

YouTube video ads can't be blocked with just DNS blocking unfortunately, they are served from the same hosts as YouTube videos.

Not sure about the 80s, but in 1992 there was a futon store seemingly on every corner in a NJ college town where I lived at the time, futons were a bit of a fad then.

What is your source for this ? Recent polls show reunification support is still <2%, with about 6% open to reunification eventually but not now.

In 2018, before the crackdown in HK, the reunification support was 3%, with 13% open to it eventually - the events in HK have definitely significantly eroded support for reunification in Taiwan.

I have family in Taiwan and literally don't know a single Taiwanese person that wants reunification with the PRC.

What's wrong with using a text editor to remove lines ? In vim for example :g/pattern/d or :g!/pattern/d with regular expressions is a powerful tool for removing lines in bulk if needed.
