Just google why the Space Shuttle/SLS SRB were the size they are. Hint: It has to do with Roman war chariots.

The article compares a market of a printed product (which is declining, and that's true for virtually ALL printed material) to a market of a purely digital distribution method (which is massively increasing, and that's true for vi

That should have read maitresses (autocorrect can be a bitch), and the average life expectancy for a 19th century king was more like 70. > Palaces 150 years ago sucked in comparison to modern apartments with isolation so good you barely

First, we as a society gave kids electronic games. Then we limited the area they were allowed to roam in from a few blocks to "where I can see you" Then, we locked them up for two years (depending on locale) thanks to CoVID What g

Facebook / Meta is the one big bad wolf that has been painted up by the media. Most common people don't even know what TikTok is. Also, good luck getting TikTok to even reply to some weird European Data Protection official - from

I think you are interpreting a lot into very few words. What I said is that a) We will have to pay more for neon gas regardless of who wins the conflict. b) Regardless of our Western propaganda, Russia is far from being defeated and has a g

Good luck finding contractors who will agree to these terms. Waiting for built times is dead time which is filled with other activity, like documentation, or reading through the next requirement. What you will achieve with this policy is mi

I guess you don't want that, because it may give people too much of an easy way out, giving up too soon when survival was still preferable for mission success.

Russian Forces have been hours from collapse ... for the last six months. Any day now. Eventually Ukraine will run out of Western goodwill and local manpower. If you are victorious until the last man and the last bullet, you still lose. &gt

Either Russia takes over, and then there's going to be a price hike for having been anti-Russian. Or Ukraine somehow survives, and then they have to rebuild ... leading to a price hike. They may be grateful, but they will also make us

I know I am in the minority here, but I actually like brutalist architecture between 1965 and 1985. Not the cookie-cutter ghettos, I mean artful architecture, like Habitat 67 or the Robarts Library, or the Wellcome headquarters.

Tesla Gigafactory was built in record time and got productive even quicker. In Germany, new development that does not take 15-20 years of planning and legislative red tape definitely is a success.

Effectively doubling his exclusive use of land ... it's something worth investing some money to.

Given that this comes down to badly-worded laws that allow for a lot of interpretation, essentially would double the land-owner's exclusively-usable land if corner-cutting was forbidden, and there is apparently no precedence set, this

Who can honestly say they did not ever flaunt worktime laws (where they exist)? IT people do 60-80 hours, in the liberal-democratic country where there is a strict limit of 48 hours/week (and the average being around 39h). People wear

Pure old copper-line phones did not need a working power outlet in your home - electricity was introduced to the system at facilities of the phone company (often miles away), and often used a dedicated electric grid. With VoIP, you tend to

I would suggest to talk to your company's legal representative. You may be surprised. The legalese for what you describe would be "mit Ablauf des Zeitabschnittes". Which is NOT in the legal text here.
