"Huge row erupts" [...] "However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already" is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?
I am surprised it's called "America's celebrated work ethic" - from my (Dutch) perspective, it's notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!
The article did mention them as "registered", so I don't think this applies.
According to Wikipedia it's not, so you're safe
I'm loving the puns quoted in the article haha
"Setting up a base in Vietnam" for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me..
I'm wondering if it's tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don't remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.
I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.
Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.
That's just over 2 percent. "Widely accepted" in my book is a much larger percentage..
That makes sense, thanks
I wonder what would happen to the works were the museum to go bankrupt instead - then they would be sold for their "monetary value" as well, right? Then this seems more like protest for protest sake, as it's a last resort damage control measure that can hardly be avoided from the sound of it.
"up to 1% of 2100 planes could be affected" followed by "based on our calculations, as many as 21 planes could be affected" made me chuckle.
They did, but they didn't see as sharp of an energy price increase as far as I know. Our energy bill has increased so much that we had to not only deal with project (and thus payment) delays due to the shortages, but also with projects suddenly not bringing in money but costing us. This had a compounding effect on many small businesses.
It might be overstating some things, but I've heard quite a few hardware startups fail the past years due to parts shortage, rising parts costs, energy costs, etc.
On the large industry scale the machine is ticking away just fine, but I've experienced first hand how those factors have decimated any reserves small players have over the past few years. And large companies don't innovate nearly as much as small ones can - competitive advantages for the future are definitely lost here. While that may not be a problem today, that does mean Germany will be behind on innovation in 5 - 10 years.
Does anyone have any context about the "assassination wanted" banner in the listing image? I find it quite shocking, and the article didn't make any mention of it that I saw.
I'm not a very experienced rider yet, but here's some key points from my extensive classes (required in the EU, I can only recommend taking lessons!):
- always use both brakes. The front has the most power. Especially if you don't have abs, practice hard braking but do so carefully, as front lockups are super sketchy but further away than you might feel at first
- if you have abs, practice braking as hard as you dare to make it come on. Drive straight and find when it kicks in (feels jittery) so you know more or less when it happens
- as others said, gently using the brakes so the lights come on is always a good idea
- engine braking is good, but only for controlled deceleration
- in an emergency stop situation, NEVER engine brake. The movement of the engine will slow down emergency stops. Pull the clutch and brake as hard as is safe to do
- always keep an eye on your mirrors, and look if there's someone close behind before braking. Signal with a light tap of the brakes to get the light on if needed, or move aside before braking
- while you may accelerate faster than cars, due to the lower weight you may actually stop slower!
Always practice in an empty lot or street, while driving straight. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
Happy riding brother/sister(or others which may apply)!❤️
I would imagine OP meant in terms of CO2 emitted by those particular planes. I have no sources, but recall hearing that due to the relative inefficiency of the engines at taxi speeds, a large percentage of the fuel required for a flight is consumed driving to/from the runway. However, how much extra emissions were made highly depends on how they did stop the flights and/or announce their presence on the runway - if the planes never left the gates, the extra emissions would be close to 0 for instance.
No sure if this applies to the particular vehicle, but check the reverse light. My dad once replaced the bulb on his small car with one hat had a beeper builninto the bulb, because he bought it was funny if it sounded like a truck backing up - it's a very simple mod for any vehicle with a reverse light.
Without RIF, there's no fun in Reddit. I don't think I've ever used another app in my 11 (wow, sounds like more than I thought..) years on there. Wishing you all the best and thanks for the meme, laughs, insights and info.
