True but remember the American obsession with acceleration is very different from actual speed. Driving involves moving the car round corners and bends. Many less accelerative cars will beat their betters point to point on handling. Then th

Two points. You can’t say somone is being over cautious without k owing their location. It’s easier to supplement vitamin D than cure skin cancer. If the local population looks different to you there is reason to pause. Secondly Asian peopl

I have a personal corpus of letters between my grandparents in WW2. My grandfather fighting in Europe and my grandmother in England. The ability of Claude and ChatGPT to transcribe them is extremely impressive. Though I haven’t worked on th

That’s newer than Star Wars and isn’t a huge piece of IP. To the estate a few book sales makes a difference.

As someone who has been involved in dating sites you have no idea how standard this is. Until Match bought the industry it was pretty much impossible to launch a dating site with profiles. The industry standard was to post fakes. Real users

This is also the result of the failure of the third most expensive technical project of the war. The Norden sight. At the outset of the war it was believed that precision bombing from the air was possible. A vast sum was spent making a sigh

This is correct. I have NOS Rotrings made in Germany. They sell for a pretty penny online. People who love the pens know the modern production isn’t the same.

Good luck printing anything at 870dpi. This whole article is a bit confused. Image quality isn’t about the ability to discern detail. Many people cannot see the detail in their 4k TVs or a photo, it’s about not seeing visible pixelation. Th

This was all widely reported. The problem here is that people don’t read and they routinely dismiss stories based on source, not content. The 9/11 attacks were incredibly bizarre from day one. Everyone with any knowledge of the world i

The entire premise is wrong. Humanity isn’t defined by expertise. Most average people will reach the “I don’t know” or making-it-up stage on most subjects pretty fast. Perfect responses are more Likely indicative of a machine than a person.

The lack of journalism in this conflict is a direct result of Israel forbidding press access and their targeting of Palestinian and other journalists. This deliberate effort enables them to then criticize the reporting which is done and cas

IQ doesn’t measure intelligence. If anything it measures how well a person integrates the educational methodology they have been exposed to. At best - and it’s a stretch - IQ correlates with intelligence sometimes. It’s far from a reliable

The F-35 cannot be made without the UK. There are key components which are only produced in the UK and for which there is no secondary supplier. Even countries happy to spend huge proportions of GDP on weapons, like Israel, cannot build a m

FYI every credible expert agrees that Iran aren’t making bombs yet. They are enriching to 60%. Far from what’s needed for a weapon. They have been capable of making bombs for decades and have chosen not to. They even adhered to the JCPOA wh

This is an inane comparison. Starship is “the program to build a permanent base in the moon”. It’s not even the only vehicle involved in the moon program. It’s a rocket designed to take astronauts from moon orbit to the moon’s surface. The

You have missed the point. “Race” is only reliably visible based on skin color for a single generation. You can be a green eyed redhead with a black West African grandparent. Americans obsession with “race” and racial superiority means that

90% of the BBC wasn’t crud. Even if you didn’t like it. Until the early 90s it was making programming commercial companies couldn’t justify or take a risk on. This programs were fantastic and impacted the entire world. This was a corporatio

Hotel suites offer everything you mention. At hotels you also don’t have to worry about spy cameras, upset neighbors and questionable legality. I did use AirBnB years ago with my family and it was great. However the quality tends to reflect

This is a take so misguided it seems like parody. Reading isn’t just about successfully understanding words. It’s the ability to decipher context, particularly in long texts in which metaphor and subtext are important. You need look no furt

Where do you get that from? Huge numbers didn’t vote. Of those who did Trump squeaked by with a small lead but significantly less than 50% of the populace voted for him. He has no mandate.

Audiophiles are a self selected group. Membership has nothing to do with hearing ability. Most are of an age where they have less than “normal” hearing for a healthy child. Audiophiles classically deliberately confuse measurable differences

This isn’t true in professional circles at all. Audio interfaces are external. There is no need to collapse the language it confers no benefit. Audio interfaces are external because it makes it so much easier to shield them properly. Thus i

You are so close (you being America). Yes. Just pay for a high quality education to tertiary level and beyond for everyone. It would be much cheaper and crime would plummet.
