To paraphrase famous saying from the stock markets: climate scientists predicted 50 of the last 2 severe winters. At some point you get the "boy that cried wolf" problem.

I read it somewhere today: over last 20 years Americans trained the Afghan army to fight in the same style as them, which means heavily rely on air support. Now they have withdrawn all air support an expect Afghans to hold their ground.

To be fair, Texas is roughly in the same latitude as Sahara - a winter like the last one is basically once-in-a-lifetime occurence. Kind of makes sense not to prepare for it.

This is the ultimate proof that America is in decline: at its best they would have anticipated it and evacuated the embassy at least a week ago. If they can't even protect the diplomats how are they supposed to protect common citizens?

VAT is not a revenue tax. VAT is the tax paid by consumers not by the company. Company only acts as tax collector. The weird thing is this: they collect VAT on everyting they sell, but then, for everything they buy (raw materials, office su

Of course they don’t because those would have a very short shelf life. Fortunately those things are pretty easy to make at home

Whoever wrote that article is clearly an idiot: even Sahara or Death Valley don't experience temperatures of 50C, except in some rare cicrumstances.

I understood it as "5.7 million per life saved" so you need to mulltiply that number by few thousands.

Finally! Now we can have an air conditioner that does not require a pipe to blow the hot air outside. Like truly mobile unit.

The key thing here is: Bayern has the best striker in the world, Lewandowski. So they will keep passing the ball around, until the opportunity arises to pass to him, and he knows what to do with such gift. Spain in the Euro tried to play th

But how do the first researcher choose the approach "with the highest probability of working"? Since the research hasn't been conducted yet they can only use their own previous experience, also known as bias. Judging by the r

In order to assimilate migrants you have to have strong identity that they find appealing. The problem Europe has is that it no longer has any identity. It tries to build itself on the values like tolerance, but what does tolerance even mea

I think smart move for them here would be to buy them now, before they finish building fabs in Arizona - TSMC value will skyrocket after those factories are operational and getting the yields similar to Taiwanese ones.

Socialism is a perfect system. I mean: socialism is probably the system that God uses to rule his Angels in Heaven. It has only one tiny flaw: in order to work it requires the society to be perfect as well, and most importantly completely s

You must ask yourself a question here: did they accomplish all of that because of the socialism, or despite it?

In general investment in the "old" EU countries is less profitable due to higher taxes, salaries, and other costs. That's why most of the European companies choose to build their new factories in Central Europe: Poland, Czech

Keeping the artifact is one thing, your construction project being delayed for months because now team of archeologists takes over and starts looking for more artifacts is another.

Probably the latter: Taste bad, and possibly become more poisonous for catepilars. It is quite possible to use that electric signal to trigger some chemical reaction that would accomplish this.

I have plenty of IQ points to spare. Also, I did get vaccinated, just didn't care about the few points of effectiveness I lose from a fast vaccination. EDIT: also, what you claim is illogical: you say that even mild cases of COVID caus

That only matters to people who get vaccinated because they are afraid of COVID. I got my second dose ASAP, because I needed a certificate for travel, so I could go for well deserved vacation. I don't give a fuck about effectivness.

Romania also don't work like that, in principle. They are simply much poorer country than Norway. 30k EUR salary in Romania is upper middle class income, so it is heavily taxed. People making average wage pay much lower taxes. Also, if

For one, it has nothing to do with programming. Also, nothing to do with time management, people skills, or anything else that programmers do on their job.

But disregarding witness testimonies puts us on even more dangerous path: in order to know "objective facts" you need to put surveilance cameras and microphones everywhere so there is a video footage of every crime.

It's not about "how bad it is", it's about how much money Google makes from it. The fine needs to be in the same order of magnitude in order to discourage Google from doing this.

I disagree with GP's conspiracy theory, but still I can see how it could be theoretically possible. Those "hundreds or thousands of municipal and state levels, political leaders" they are not necessarily a part of real elite.
