Yep, it is possible, but it is not something you would normally do. Usually these pods are lifted by a crane and "inserted" in the building (talking of reinforced concrete buildings) after the structure has been built (before buil

No matter if stable enough or not, ReactOS is aimed to replicate a NT based system, as such it can be very different from DOS/Win9x. Quite a lot of (DOS based but not only) tools and programs (particularly any low-level one and - gener

That's OK, as 3D printed houses do not normally have pipes/conduits in the 3d printed concrete walls (just like you normally don't have them in traditionally built concrete walls).

Maybe because building is tough? There are a few start-ups about 3D printing houses, but - at least for those that I have seen that actually demonstrated something - they seem to be the "usual" startup led by some brilliant people

Side note/doubt. By asking to have your data through a GDPR request you are effectively giving to the receiver of the request: 1) your full name 2) your phone number 3) your e-mail i.e. basically a confirmation that both the phone numb

Allow me to comment how it is not technically accurate to "tag" the the Berlin S-Bahn or the Paris RER as "Europe". I would say that those (together with very few other largish cities) are the exception and not the rule

I cannot say in the US, but AFAIK in Europe you need to change headlights (or modify them) to have a license plate (for an imported car), i.e. while having the steering wheel on the "wrong" side is allowed, headlights need to be c

Still this is a different kind of contract. A bonus (or other forms of incentives) are additional to the base salary. Until you are fired (or if the company does not pay your wage anymore) your salary/wage is fixed, and you get it no

To be picky, the general rule is that q goes before u only if u is followed by another vowel (qui, quo, qua), c is used in the other cases, but - of course - there are a few exceptions, the most common being "cui".
