The hub part seems to be what's easily missed here. People aren't flying in from Frankfurt. They're flying in from all over the continent, and at the nearest major hub they're all packaged into one connecting flight to

I just took a search through my email to see what I've been paying in the past: 2013 joined at 7eur/month. Can't find the email from when it went from 7 to 9. May 2016 increased from 9 to 10. August 2019 from 10 to 12. Mar

I think it's still very much relevant within the context of the stock dive though - no-one invests in what you've done, they invest in what they think you're going to do next. So they've disappointed their investors, and

Your example would seem to answer itself. No-one understands the 100m record to be 17 years.

I'm not sure I agree on the piracy front. Everyone I know who's young enough to have been college aged since about 1998, knows exactly how and where to turn. This is an age bracket running into early-40s now. I think what's

Many moons ago I did the "drunken stumble around europe" thing with a friend. We tried to stick to trains wherever practical, but crossing the alps by rail was something like 20x the cost of the same trip by budget air. We keep g

I think you're focussing on the wrong metric. This would be like saying that phones aren't made with slave labour because the companies are in california. There's a disconnect between where the models come from, and where th

yeah, calendar manipulation is trickier than it looks. If you use day-of-week, you have an odd number of days. If you use day of month, many months have an odd number. If you use day of year (%j), most years have an odd number. There&#x2

I'd be surprised if religious exemptions fly as far as people would think. How many vaccines have they had up until that point? Hell, how many did they have in the first two weeks of service. Lying about what makes this one differen

Looking through my history I've tried & failed irishtimes.com and wsj.com. It might be a short list, but it's every site I've tried, so you can imagine 2 for 2 is starting to leave an impression.

This is more what I was going for - not retcon exactly, but that our definition of what a superpower is, changes more often than our list of who the members are. I'd always heard it described as essentially force projection - the abili

I don't think we really have a good definition of a superpower that fits the modern world. But I think it's a fair claim that China currently lacks (or appears to lack) the force projection required to fit the traditional descrip

I honestly think cars are our "sacred cows". That's why we're not talking about people inconveniencing people, we're talking about bicycles inconveniencing cars. We're not talking about people's rights,

Indeed, there's a survivorship bias with cyclists. If you've ever been hit by a cyclist going too fast, you'll have a very opinionated story to tell. If you've ever been hit going by a car too fast, you're just a

It's a weird conversation that's always biassed by default. How about if we suggested that if cars can't share the roads with other users, we ban cars from the roads? Of course I'm not seriously advocating that, but the

This doesn't necessarily mean it's a tie-in. Just that who-ever current owns the adaptation rights wants bang for their buck. Typically that does mean a tie-in, but I think the Dune universe doesn't really need it to sell it

That’s my understanding too. Something about Napoleon wanting to be egalitarian. Has the interesting side-effect that France is both the western-most and eastern-most country in the EU.

"have" and "own" aren't always the same thing, especially in intent-based legal systems. I can own a blue flashing light. I can operate it in my house. I can't operate it attached to my vehicle on a public ro

the Endeavour was sold to private ownership 2 years before she was scuttled. So I do think a red ensign would be appropriate.

My very lose understanding is that finding a wreck doesn't confer ownership. It confers salvage rights, and if the owner doesn't compensate for salvage (or the assumed costs of salvage), you get to keep what you salvage in paymen

It's interesting that they then go on to scare-stories where the physician had assumed that weight was a largely contributing factor. Does anyone believe that not weighing them will change this? If you're large enough that the do
