There's a few like this, when's the last time you met a nigel?

Most places is a stretch... They're invasive in around ⅓ of Earth's land area and where less than ¼ of people live

So you're caving to people who are trying to force their sociolinguistic ideas on the speakers of a different language?

It's not you that's being racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic/imperialist... If you were conversing in Spanish then sure, it'd be Estadounidense/Estados Unidos but in English it's American/America and to try and force either one to change would be cultural imperialism

Theoretically, I guess... But my argument came when introducing the laws of physics into the world of the infinite hotel, but there comes a point where the movement is small enough that the electron orbits are unaffected when the atom next to them "moves" therefore there's functionally no movement.

You're not a criminal who goes around breaking the laws of physics like the rest of those "mathematician" types are you?

No - there's fuses in the plugs themselves, the switch is largely for convenience and safety - if you want to unplug something broken and potentially live, it's much safer to switch it off at the wall than risk a shock given the current limit is on the breaker is so high

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can't compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

The website doesn't really care; they have hosting costs so if you're not paying with money or by accepting ads then to them you're worse than not visiting at all as you consume resources, so it's good if you leave?

Which you have to carry around separately, which comes at a convenience cost and so you're more likely to just go for wireless ones (I know I have after the headphone jack wore out in my phone)

And also not charge at the same time unless you get a well shielded dac dongle with a usb female which also allows charging and supports thunderbolt, which is another piece of future e-waste that you'll have to carry around in addition to your phone and 3.5mm only dongle, as the unconnected wire will get caught on your hand if you try to use your phone

Your idea of a fix makes as much sense as apple calling selling you 90% of a new device fixing your device - let's not allow degenerate business practices just because a brand like to think of themselves as green and ethical, it's anti-consumer and anti-environment, no ifs, no buts.

I mean Azerbaijan have invaded Armenia proper in the past in skirmishes, but Armenia also invaded Azerbaijan and gained territory from it... They've also both committed genocide against each other, with the region in the news recently for Armenians being expelled/killed/leaving following Azerbaijan recapturing it only being majority Armenian due to the Azeris being expelled/killed/leaving in the 90s...

In reality it's a situation very similar to Israel/Palestine where regardless of how it started/what the "original" status of the land was, both sides are so overwhelmingly awful in their actions that there's no good guy, but of the four places mentioned only Palestine (Hamas really) has such a disdain for all people, even their own, that they stand out as worse than the others to me

I mean my mountain bikes run at a reccomended 50-80PSI, my road bike 60-120

I can also get up to about 40mph downhill on both (which should be a good indicator of rolling resistance/air resistance as it takes out the pedaling part), so that leads me to believe (given the rolling resistance info) that the actual biggest factor which makes the road bike so much easier to ride is weight (and gear ratios, but that's not relevant to e-bikes)

Yeah no, it's a list which targets Russian shills and which Russian shills want to discredit by making it seem strange and questionable.

Yes pretty much really using the right definitions, however there's different types of colonialism - the type where you make your own cities and push out the natives (eg Australia, most of the Americas) is gone, as is the type where you find a (nearly?) uninhabited area/island and use it to expand your influence in the area (eg. Mauritius and Singapore with 0 and 150 population at colonisation respectively) leaving only the type where you take over and control the administration of the existing population, eg in India, most of Africa, the USSR in Central Asia (among other places) and in neocolonialism

It's also hard to group them all together as "evil colonialism" too though as the 1st and 3rd are of course pretty evil, there's not a whole lot wrong with the 2nd
