Logi

I only git as far as SNCF, the French railway company. Just a transposition and a single pen stroke away.

The entire point of the current and the classic pandas is a small car with four wheel drive that is popular with farmers and rural people and in snowy mountain regions in Italy (and less popular with me being stuck behind one on the motorway). And they’re indestructible. This seems to just be a random electric car that has borrowed some visual design elements from it 😐

An actual electric panda would be great. Small, cheap, fast enough, but can trudge across difficult terrain when needed. Forever. My mum would buy it.

Don’t forget the sticky bit and chown root for extra convenience!

Probably depends also on the range of your weapons. The faster ship might not be able to ram the more nimble ship but could get close enough to launch a missile.

I got big Shure headphones supporting aptX HD (and that Sony codec) both to my little NAD amp and my phone. The Sony earbuds only support the proprietary Sony lossless codec and only to the phone, but they’re for walking around, so that’s fine.

It’s not hard if you just make this a requirement when picking your kit.

Obviously no Apple stuff.

That article weirdly talks about “UK and Europe” as if the former weren’t included in the latter. It’s akin to “Milk and Liquids” or “Squares and Shapes”.

There are many forms of democracy. Representative democracy is one and you seem to like direct democracy. I know that I don’t have time for direct democracy… there is just too much going on. But there might be a middle ground.

It sounds like someone needs to bring a similar suit in the EU and point to the GDPR. Where is the agreement to specific processing, the chance to opt out of the data collection, etc.

Short form is used in English only and was reluctantly adopted outside of the US since the 'mericans weren’t going to budge. Any science done in other languages uses the more logical form. I’ve done it myself in 3 of them. And it’s weird how I fluently translate between American billion and international milliard or American trillion and international billion. But I’m sure there is going to be a rocket blown up over this at some point.

Why more logical? Billion, prefix bi for 2 is million squared. Trillion, prefix tri for 3 is million cubed. Septillion, prefix sep for 7 is? Honestly, though, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter that much. It’s just grating that were being yanked backwards. However slightly. And yes, that pun was intentional.

Sure, the US didn’t come up with the imperial measuring system but everyone else has moved on. Miles were used by the Romans but were they the same miles? Everyone had their own foot… the story about Napoleon being short was simply that he was measured in French feet and they were longer than English feet so he amounted to fewer of them. I guess it’s slightly better now that there is only one set* of archaic pre-enlightenment units in play :shrug:

*having said all that, some of the US measurements don’t quite coincide with the UK ones but I can’t remember any if those details. But it’ll probably kill a other rocket too.

PS I dare you to look up the Swedish mile.

Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.

Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.
