In addition, systematic security scans are performed at the departing airport, and it's generally not a crime to export huge amounts of undeclared cash, only to import it.

Why? A Taiwanese restaurant is going to go through a lot of rice, so it seems unlikely they'll serve you anything that's been sitting around for ages, plus it's usually very obvious from the texture if it has been sitting

China is simultaneously also adding much more solar, wind and nuclear power than any other country, plus much of the new coal construction is also meant to replace old, horrifically inefficient/polluting ones.

What exactly is "juiced up" about "Boeing 737 crashes during take-off in Senegal"? I'd be hard put to craft a more neutral/factual/boring summary of what just happened. Update: Apparently "crash"

Unsurprisingly, it's an old airframe (built 1994), operated by a state-owned African carrier: rarely a recipe for good maintenance. It's quite unlikely that Boeing is in any way to blame for this. https://aviation-safe

Those "unreliable" jetliners still complete orders of magnitude more flights between crashes than "reliable" launch vehicles. Angara A5, Russia's latest and greatest, had 1 failure out of 4 launches so far.

Boeing has been building stuff for space since the early days of the Apollo program, including the Space Shuttle and big slabs of the ISS. If anything they should have had a head start on anything human rated.

That's an odd assertion. Sure, we have a somewhat higher tolerance for risk for unmanned spaceflights, but we don't have particularly high requirements for unmanned drones either. But the reliability requirements for something li

Here in Australia, the "Series 9 Pro 9467cc" apparently costs $449. That's a pretty steep ask when a perfectly passable Remington goes for $23.

Nigiri are also a pain in the ass to make. In Japanese homes sushi usually means DIY temaki, which outsources the making process to the eaters, accounts for preferences in ingredients, wasabi strength etc and also ensures the nori stays cr

Approximately nobody makes eg dim sum from scratch at home. Too many dishes, too many ingredients, very fiddly recipes, it's just not worth it when you can go out and get them from a restaurant that has specialized in dim sum for deca

I know, but it's still unhelpful performative posturing. There would be zero risk of confusion if it was called simply "Māori" or "the Māori language" instead, the way we do with every other language in the world.

Rest assured, woke politics in the form of support for/opposition to immigration of people with the wrong skin color is a major issue in all Scandinavian countries.

Aside: calling the Māori language "Te Reo Māori" in English is unhelpful performative posturing. Yes, that's what the language is called in Māori, but we don't call Chinese "Zhongwen" or 中文.

Australia removed apostrophes from all official place names back in 1966, leading to names like Surfers Paradise, Princes Highway and Wisemans Ferry. Given the date, I doubt computing was a major consideration though.
