Unfortunately, that's a bit of spin in the article. I have clipped the relevant part of the route network ( http://imgur.com/a/OR4Ee ) and the U55 (brown) connects Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) to Brandenburg Gate whe

I am guessing, but I'd suspect one of the better known imageboards like 2Chan, 4Chan or Ylilauta.

I don't really think it's funding. There has - over the last 50 years - been considerable funding from all industrialized countries. The physics of containing a large volume of plasma and injecting cryogenic fuel and turning the r

True, but for one, the antibiotic will be produced and used in really large doses once it enters the market, meaning there are trillions of bacterial cells encountering it, which raises the likelihood of development of resistance. And secon

I doubt that 30 year window. If if were nearly impossible to build a resistance, the bacterium producing the antibiotic would poison itself. And I am not sure how you'd convince people in underdeveloped countries to use the new and exp

I am not sure you have a lot of empathy if you automatically assume people want to be asked that question. I hate it if colleagues without kids ask me about my weekend because I believe that the joy of fatherhood breeds extremely boring sto

Traditionally there was zero stigma attached to having a beer in the "Kneipe" in Germany, especially for the working class typically living in small flats.

In a lot of countries - Germany, Britain, France to be sure - the pub is such a third place, especially for men. Their special culture seems to be in decline as well, but not as dramatically as churches.

But the author doesn't even advocate RegEx for testing if a string is a palindrome. He doesn't explain for which part he'd use it, but from the sound of it, removing whitespace and punctuation.

I'd disagree. When I am slumming it at home, I wear the most comfortable pair of trousers I have. If I'd receive a call to have a beer with pals, I'd still change. I think the same applies in the given example: the in-group k
