Not really/exactly. The 50cc/45 kmh or 4kw/45 kmh for electric ones defines a class of vehicles (mopeds L1, L1e-b if two wheels) that have a simpler registration and need a simpler driving license. Electric powered bikes exi

Yep, but that was (in your words) the first place, it happened before the actual minting, i.e. the melting and casting produced the blanks, while the minting transformed the blanks into coins, and very likely they were different workshops.

Well, there was also (at least here in Italy) what I call the great pavement revolution. In the old times these structures were installed everywhere, if you were lucky it was grass or dirt, but gravel, concrete or asphalt were all common (r

No crucible was involved in the minting of those ancient coins, they are of the kind that were hammered/stamped. </pedantry^2>

Well, according to common engineering formulas, three supports inline will never get a third of the load each. It is a continuous beam with a distributed load (only own weight). Look for "Continuous Beam – Two Equal Spans – Uniformly D

Of course experience and synchronization would matter. But if the hypothesis is that three people carried a 85 kg, 3.50 m long log, the experiment with two people carrying a 60 kg, 2.50 m is not representative of that. It is not like they c

So, there is somehow a different editorial approach between the "lite" version and the "full" one. It must be a setting of Clickbait=10 vs. a more "normal" Clickbait=5. Good to know. Re-reading the article, p

As I see it, 2 people carrying a 60 kg log seems saying very little about 3 people carrying a (longer) 85 kg one. You would need far better synchronization of movements and people of the same height or exactly regulated straps for the tumpl

Only for the record, there is a midway solution. Basically you go through a street making two walls on the two sides, using either piles or diaphragms, then you excavate the whole width and build a concrete slab resting on the walls and res

No, I don't think that this has anything to do with GDPR or data protection, this is merely an interpretation of the Tax code. It is well established that a commercial transaction made through a barter bears no difference against the s

The article is a bit vague. Anyway silicosis has been traditionally the illness of miners and (to a lesser extent) masons. The (I believe by now worldwide) ban on asbestos derives from that, a surprising number of types of minerals/roc

Once said that the "too high fines" sounds like an excuse, I am not sure to understand the logic of the fines (i.e. the attributing them at least partially to the company). When you rent a car, the driver/renter pays all fine

Yep, that is some 4 years + ago, cars have lately become relatively much more expensive (blame it on COVID, on inflation, on scarcity of components, whatever), I would say starting after 2020. A part of it may be due to the fact that those

Can you share where does a Dacia cost 7K? Here (Italy) the cheapest Dacia (the Sandero) is around 12,000 Euro. What was usually considered the cheapest car (the Fiat Panda) is around 16,000.
