My native language is German, and you're wrong. Hepburn may not be an ideal match for German, but it's still a better one than Kunrei-shiki. I'm fairly sure there is no language in the world whose pronunciation of Latin lette

I'd argue against that. For about the previous two centuries, the typical soldier's experience was endless marching and then standing in formation with hundreds of others, shooting very imprecise guns at similar enemy formations a

The thing is: it's very easy to play up the likelihood and severity of problems that are entirely imaginary. This can be just a bad habit, but also a deliberate tactic. In either case, a lot of effort, time, money, etc. is wasted. Wait

This kind of thing always has the same weakness: it's extrapolating from a sample size of one. It of course tries to account for that by adding large error margins based on what we know, but for some of them it's pure guesswork th

No, it doesn't depend on any such interpretation. The key word is "average". A majority of stars are red dwarves, and those do in fact last for trillions of years without significant change.
