US is part of the NANP which means they have their own system for beyond +1, which is shared with Canada and half the Caribbean, and so they were given the whole of +1 rather than +10, +11, +12 etc. all resolving to the same thing, or +10 being for about 10 different countries while +11 was for one
Then the Soviet Union wanted a single digit too, which is why Russia and Kazakhstan share +7
I find it's harder as a pedestrian than a driver... You're mostly aligning yourself as a driver and looking for pedestrians/cars coming but they can come from either side regardless of what side you're driving on... For pedestrians though the side you look at first is switched so there's a very real chance you just step out into traffic
In some cases yes, however in others where there's speedbumps in the road and not in the bike lane, with the bike lane protected to stop cars avoiding the bumps in them, the bikes (35kph) move faster than the cars (25kph)
It's not every bike lane but a significant number
It's milk chocolate (coated at least)... I've tried alternatives and frankly white, dark and flavoured vegan chocolates are good enough but there's nothing close to or as good as milk chocolate so at this point it's like saying "boycott steak because it's not vegan"... It's a fact, sure, but not a reason against it for people who aren't already vegan, and vegans are already boycotting it away, so it's a reason for nobody?
That said the fair cocoa point is very valid.
Exactly right with regards to China, less so Mexico...
If you're making fun of the US for being pro-free market but not here, surely it makes sense for them to tariff imports the same amount that their production is subsidised, or to subsidise the same amount as everyone else to at least approximate the free market
You said it in your first line... They're selling them at a loss to try and dominate the market.
Even if the government only think it's only anti-competitive when foreign companies do it, the truth is it's anti-competitive as fuck regardless... I'd much rather have both local and international producers producing things at a reasonable price and fair profit level than losing a bunch of money to dominate the market then taking huge profits later on but you do you I guess.
If it were me I'd also be wanting to know how many slave labourers are getting poisoned by toxic fumes to produce them, as while China is great in some respects, the work environment and culture is undeniably Victorian workhouse level.
Ah yes, so all the houses people rarely visit are located close together and the farms they have to visit multiple times a day are even further away?
Deranged thinking by someone who has never considered that their food is grown in a field rather than some factory
With a CPU or even a GPU, there is a bunch of inefficiencies for every task as they're designed to be able to do pretty much anything - your H265 media decoder isn't going to be doing much when you're keeping a running sum of the number of a certain type of bond in a list of chemicals
With ASICs and a lesser extent FPGAs, you can make it so every single transistor is being used at every moment which makes them wildly efficient for doing a single repetitive task, such as running statistical analysis on a huge dataset. This is because rather than being limited by the multiprocessing ability of the CPU or GPU, you can design the "program" to run with as much multiprocessing ability as is possible based on the program, meaning if you stream one input per clock cycle, after a delay you will get one input per clock cycle out, including your update function so long as it's simple enough (eg moving average, running sum or even just writing to memory)
This is one specific application of FPGAs (static streaming) but it's the one that's relevant here
Except Hasbro didn't get a game of the year, "someone who licenced an insignificant property of theirs" did, and so who cares (other than everyone who made/enjoyed the game, but nobody "important" like Hasbro's execs or stockholders)
Yes... It's anyone internet connected with steam, ie the people who this will affect
Early modern English has it so it tracks (four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie)
Yeah, the opening weekend I think is an indication of how good your marketing was, and sustained performance is an indication of how good the actual film is
