Well to put it into context, you were allowed to work underground at the same age you were allowed to have sex, which was two years before you were allowed to be married, at the good ol’ ripe age of 12.
This whole “you gotta be 16/18/21 to be considered an adult” thing is really recent in human history all things considering.
Yup. And there’s a pretty fantastic short movie about it on youtube called 096.
To be fair, they haven’t really gotten all that much invading done recently, they’ve mostly just been squatting on the parts they managed to captured back in 2022.
I am kinda morbidly curious what would happen if they did decide to start invading some other countries - splitting their forces feels like it would be a terrible idea if their aim is to ever actually manage to win the Ukrainian war, and not just stall it forever.
I’ve yet to find any testing that would indicate it doesn’t work, only few where the effect has been quite small.
But even the tiniest effects become massive when multiplied by the amount of vehicles on the road. Like how turning your headlights off and using LED DRLs reduces fuel consumption by roughly 1-3%, which is quite a lot less pollution once you multiply that by the 250 million cars zooming around the EU and so on.
Stop-and-start systems usually result in a reduction of emissions somewhere between 3-10% in city traffic. That’s huge.
But because most people find it a tiny bit irritating, you are required the massive effort of pressing a button to turn it off every time. Most quickly realize it’s not all that irritating, because having to press a button to turn it off is actually more irritating, and so it stays enabled for a few hundred million cars reducing emissions.
It’s not, when many have buttons and not a dial, and the Golf Mark 8 specifically had two capacitive (IIRC) surfaces under the touchscreen.
They needed research to realise the cost was greater than the savings.
Touchscreen interfaces are absolutely wonderful if you are a car manufacturer, as they massively accelerate the designing process; slap a rectangle in the centre console and start manufacturing the car, you have until first units are sold (or even way later, yay updates) to figure out how it looks and works. And you don’t need to make and assemble hundred little dials and buttons either, just a single screen.
Same goes for the speedo etc display, but there at least everything is purely visual and being customizable is actually a benefit for the user too.
Also an attack against a NATO founding member, by another NATO founding member, making it the most confusing triggering of article 5 requiring the US to come to the aid of Denmark against itself.
France? Probably not.
Israel though?
At least Zelenskyy has a law degree, even if he did end up pursuing a career in comedy and entertainment instead.
Trump has a bachelor’s degree in economics and a career of running businesses to bankruptcy.
They did have a shoddy ceasefire agreement from 2015 onwards where the “little green men” totally not anything to do with Russia fought in Donbas, until Russia invaded properly again in 2022. So technically 11 years 9 months, but seriously only for around four.
Way too many artists.
For many the choices are paying for their patreon or following them on twitter or instagram, both of which are ass.
Exactly. Back when it happened, their reports on it were directly “Russian drone explodes on Chornobyl nuclear plant protective shell – video” and “Russian drone strike caused tens of millions worth of damage to Chornobyl”.
But russia has since denied it was theirs, and nobody else has proven otherwise, which means anyone following journalistic guidelines can’t claim that anymore - the best they can choose from are basically “Drone attack that Ukraine blamed on Russia” and “Drone attack Russia denies was theirs”.
And 90 million took a look at Trump and Harris and went “both look fine, I don’t care enough to vote”.
And they don’t even need to waste it, there are plenty of ways to cool them that doesn’t result in the water being used up.
Best one is the Google datacenter in Hamina, Finland, they have the cooling loop connected to the city central heating system, so not only is no water used, the excess heat is useful as well. And the datacenter is powered by solar, so it’s renewable heat as well.
Not just the second sleep theory, though I’d argue it isn’t exactly just a “few peoples accounts”, but stuff like siesta and naps in general.
The point isn’t to say everyone slept the exact same biphasic sleep before but that after the industrial revolution the shift has been for everyone to transition to the “8-hours at night in one go at exactly the same time” method, which doesn’t suit everyone and isn’t exactly natural. Before artificial lights and clocks people slept with way more irregularity as there wasn’t any strict time schedule to follow, and people waking up during the night or not getting enough sleep at one go wasn’t really such an issue.
Not to mention that your sleep would have to follow the seasons and the sun way more.
Biphasic/Polyphasic sleep by itself isn’t anything bad, and it is a technique some use for getting the same amount in less total time. Humans didn’t really start consistently sleeping 8 solid hours in one go until the industrial revolution or so.
For me personally, while normally I’ll do 8-10 hours, if I’m extremely tired from like an all-nighter or something, I will get exactly 4½ hours of sleep at first, always, without a doubt. I’ll then wake up unable to sleep until after roughly 6-8 hours of being awake at which point I’ll crash and have to go back to sleep.
I can offer a curl terminal log output in death metal, from my favourites, if it helps.
Status symbol. Like how many of them keep buying iPhones just so they can show others they could afford an iPhone. Being expensive and not Chinese is pretty much the exact point.
Also the US already has a military base in Greenland and has for many decades. In fact, they used to have dozen or so during the Cold War. And because the area is apparently such vital importance to the defence of the US, they currently have… 150 soldiers stationed there.
In the one base they have kept.
Very, very important location. Vital for defence.
