Europe is full of sub-$9K models like Toyota Aygo, which has 4 stars on NCAP. So doesn't look like unacceptable safety standards are the reason.

Headphones in a car is generally a bad idea, as you wouldn't hear car horns, sirens, and other important audible signals that might prove critical.

If you click "New" at the parent site, you'll see that essentially it' micro-Patreon/Kickstarter full of beggars and spam that baits you to click "read more" to earn that 10c.

But isn't it simply a misconception? The 10yr statistics doesn't support your argument: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/unemployment-rate As an employer, I find it extremely hard to find qualified people

This is unreal... How is this any different than procedures in North Kore or Burma? I don't care if I'll lose 10 points for this comment. I just feel sad that such a great place as SV is located in a country on a level of Burma, i

How? Why? What? Are you serious? This doesn't sound reasonable in the least.

Define "stop". Like VHEMT? On a not more serious note, most people on this planet do not drive cars. 947M registered passenger cars for 7350M people in 2015 is 12.8%.

This. After a decade of marriage battles I think I'm finally getting a hang of it thanks to this. Saying yes instead of no. Quietly letting something happen instead of arguing for the opposite.

If you mean temperature, then wind turbines actually increase temperature (friction, inefficiencies...) of locale climate. Solar panels cool the Earth, not turbines. Wind is a byproduct of solar power. Why not derive energy from the primary

Yes, I meant the climate formations moving from the north pole, and Himalayas affecting the amount of precipitation reaching North Africa. Can't find that larticular animation at the moment though.

Sure, instead of destroying climate indirectly by heating atmosphere, let's destroy it directly by blocking wind paths. Last time it happened, it created the largest desert in the world - just look at the effect Himalayas had on Sahara

I wonder how you measure the quality difference for higher rates? 384K, 512K and beyond? I hear from audiophiles that there is a very distinct difference, but there is absolutely no basis for it in science.
