Also I’m amazed by how people don’t seem to understand what half-life is. It’s not the time it takes for an atom to decay. It’s the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, meaning there will be some U-238 that decay into Ra-226 in just a couple of seconds.

So even if the Earth was created 4000 years ago with uranium but not lead (for some weird reason), some of that lead would have decayed into lead by now.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that’s the same as World Champion? But she’s currently ranked 6365th of active players.

I also feel the need to remind people that while most combatants are male, not even close to all males are combatants. If only women and children (probably almost all civilian) made up 60% of all deaths, then the remaining 40% includes all male civilian deaths, which very well could be higher than combatant deaths.

Yup, if someone works “harder” they’re either being exploited or they live in a less advanced society where technology doesn’t help the working class as much.

“Northern Europe” but Belgium/France/Germany. Welp, I guess the Nordics don’t exist.

To be fair though, there are also about to be some severe floods in Lapland quite soon, albeit for a completely different reason: exceptionally warm spring weather melts the snow faster than usual causing rivers to flood.

I think they had quite a valid question. First of all, it’s not obvious how this affects Ukraine, if in any way at all. Second, not everyone can know about Iran’s involvement in the war (people are born, grown up, and informed every day).

Don’t forget the Netherlands ban

Oh yes, it’s the legendary kurkkumopo! If you know, you know.

Probably since it’s their equivalent of the latin e? In my understanding the Russian cyrillic e is pronounced “ye”, so э is closer to the latin e.

Note: I don’t speak Russian so anyone with more knowledge feel free to correct me.

Also: This is for Russian cyrillic, I believe in Ukrainian cyrillic for instance, it’s the other way around, so e is e and э is ye.

What? 4k is literally a resolution, usually 3840x2160 or something around that. 1080p is another resolution, usually 1920x1080. These are never comparable.

The G in 5G stands for generation. This has nothing to do with quality or speed, but it sets an upper limit. You can have 5G that is absolute shit or 5G which is state of the art fastest speed available (until 6G comes out).

I feel like this gets overlooked too often. No single person can cause even thousands of deaths. It’s the man himself, his government, the police, the army, the military industry, etc. who are directly causing this. That’s probably millions of people. With another 100+ million who just watch and enable the country continue its genocide. All these are also to blame to some degree.

Of course there are Russians who try to stop it, protest, strike or simply leave the hell hole. But sadly this is an incredibly small minority.

It would have cost you nothing to not write this comment…

Just to clarify in case you missed it: this is daily, not weekly. So almost one tank an hour. Poof.

In what sense is Haavisto right-wing? Also, compared to most global leaders, Stubb is not very far right. Luckily all the far right lunatics fell out in the first round.

But yeah, I agree Haavisto would have been the better choice, although both of them are very competent for the role.

“The great London underground, established 1043 CE.”

Still doesn’t add up. 37% of the US population is 120 million. 1% of the global population is still 80 million.

Are you comparing US household income to global individual income? If that’s the case I can see your percentages working, but that comparison doesn’t make much sense so I’m still lost.

60% of the US population is like 200 million. 1% of the global population is 80 million. Your maths is way off.

I’d assume something closer to 6% of the US are in the top 1%.

Poor 12th billion mother-to-be. She’ll push and push but the baby just won’t come out 😔

That’s… precisely why the original quote said “democracy is the worst form of government”. It has fundamental flaws. But it’s still the better than everything else.
