And for Europeans or those in other countries: every dollar spent on these companies is supporting their support of Trump; that's against Greenland, NATO etc. For example, Microsoft donated $1M (IIRC) to Trump for Davos. At work we hav

"Giga" was considered to sound silly until it became common and we no longer care. "Yotta" sounds silly (to me) now.

Even the small bicycle and pedestrian crossing next to my office in Copenhagen has vehicle (bicycle) sensors.

It's not necessary to stop if there's no car to the right (as this is left side driving), if there is but it is turning left, or if an oncoming car is turning left or going straight.

I think it was the weight of the shopping. My food would have increased what needed to be carried, but I was too young to be much use carrying it. The point is taxis supplement and can replace public transport for low-income or unable-to-d

When I was a child visiting my grandma in a large city in England, we would often take the bus to the supermarket, but use a taxi to come back with the shopping. In the 1990s some local taxi company even had a special phone by the supermar

You can see the news the EU reports here, in case you are interested: https://european-union.europa.eu/news-and-events/news-and-st... Of course that's probably not including things that aren't progressing for

It should be funded as part of spreading the British viewpoint, promoting British values, culture and so on — i.e. maintaining "soft power". I would have expected Britain to realize this and continue funding it.

For most uses of web maps (navigation on foot, by bicycle or by car) the angles seem to be close enough with Web Mercator, and the map is zoomed in to a small area so there's no concern about the area. No-one is zooming out the "F

I don't think Cuba belongs on that list. They have limited service because they can't afford anything better, and the USA prevents installing additional undersea cables, but only a small number of sites are blocked by Cuba itself,

You made a wild and massively exaggerated claim based on a rumour. No, painting isn't "one of the most hazardous hobbies". That's something like caving, or rock climbing, or skiing, or diving, or horse riding, or BASE ju

I think the claim is FUD — or at least far, far beyond what a child would come across, e.g. professional resins, airbrushing/spraying solvent-based paints indoors etc. These are paints specifically marketed towards children, produced b

The following paragraph is also significant — if you're going to spend 5, 10+ hours painting the thing, which might be free evening time for several weeks, the £35 cost isn't a problem. I spend more money per hour if I go to a bar

Do you have a reference for this? It's a very serious accusation. The paints are water based acrylic paints, sold as age 12+ in Europe

They got me to some extent. I bought one of the largest models just the day before the first lockdown. I never completed it, but since then I have played the smaller (Monopoly board size) game, Warcry. The friends I discovered were playing

There are also a lot of Indian students (there are 1.4bn Indians). There are lots of IT jobs, therefore presumably lots of IT students, and unlike in China Internet access (e.g. to GitHub) is not restricted.

In some European countries, it's common for rough recipes to use decilitres, e.g. 2dL of flour. 1 US cup is 2.37dL. Otherwise, a metric tablespoon is 15mL and a teaspoon is 5mL.

If the somehow-trendy wood-burning stove a friend has recently had installed in the UK is anything to go by — and it was expensive — then "pretty clean" is relative. The air stinks outside his house, and the air stinks inside his

No, they are not common. The numbers you've been given are completely wrong. The GGP has quoted the derailments figure from the USA page, but the total accidents (including trespassers and level crossing accidents) for the EU. The EU p
