Will the ban only apply to passenger planes? What about cargo planes that your laptop is being shipped separately on? Sure, if there's a fire on those planes, not as many people are at risk, but there's still the pilots and whoever the plane may fall out of the sky onto.
I can't find the article now, but I read one recently about the popularity of EVs in Norway. They're fine in the city where they have installed a lot of charging stations, but the article talks about how the rural Norwegians are sticking with gas because of the reduced range of EVs in winter and the scare of being stranded on a country road in freezing temperatures.
My weekend trips are frequently to the mountains for a day of skiing in the winter. Where I am rental cars do not have winter tires on them and I do not go to the mountains in winter without them. I also have my ski box for carrying my gear which is not an option for rental vehicles (and I use for camping gear in the summer). EVs batteries drain faster in the winter because the battery is also used to heat it, reducing its range and causing worries about running out of charge in the winter when far from home. I would love to have a small EV for getting around town in, but I still need my gas vehicle and can't afford two.
Assuming you're legitimately asking, despite your user name...
It's because indoor running tracks are generally short (~200m) and you are running on the curve for about 50% of it. If you run alot and always run the same way, you will build up a muscle imbalance.
I wanted a sit/stand desk at work because my knees hurt when I sit all day. My desk is too high (can't be lowered) so my chair has to be at highest and then my legs don't reach the ground. Yeah, I have one of those foot rest things, but unconsciously always move my feet onto the desk legsand this causes strain on my knees.
The company sent out an expert in ergonomics to do an assessment and I got a Varidesk that I can raise and lower as I need. The recommondation was to neither sit nor stand all day, but to switch it up back and forth every 20-30 minutes. I've been using it for over 6 months now and I really like it and have noticed a difference in reduction of aches/pains.
And your statement could also be used to argue that everyone should have music, art and drama in their curriculum all the way through high school.
When I was in high school, calculus was a separate, optional course which I didn't take (but I did do art and music). I barely made it through the regular algebra/trig course. But I excelled at the stats courses I took in university and I learned logic in a philosophy course (which I think should be mandatory for everyone).
I am. If push comes to shove, most people will pick a candidate if it was mandatory to vote. It might make people give even a little thought to who they want making decisions that affect their lives. If they're really ambivalent, confused, frustrated, they have the option of spoiling their ballots. But, I suspect that will be a small minority. Instead, I think we'd actually see a better representation of what the people want.
For example is you say the NSA is collecting telephone metadata that sounds benign as they don't know what metadata is. If you simplify it and say the NSA is having AT&T share the info on their phone bills; date, number called, duration... then people would understand and probably rate the collection of much higher importance as they understand their privacy is being invaded.
I don't have any citations and don't have the time to search right now, but a lot of research is looking at why girls lose interest in STEM much earlier than at the university entrance stage. There's been research that shows girls are interested in STEM in their early teens but by their late teens many have lost it? Why? Have they been discouraged by teachers/counsellers, peers, media? It's not an easy question to answer, if at all.
The federal government in Canada is officially bilingual and provides services in both official languages. The only province that is bilingual is New Brunswick and it also provides services in both languages. Quebec is unilingual French, and is required to only provide services in that language. All other provinces are unilingual English.
Inheritance can be handled by ensuring the parties involved have set up their wills properly. It could easily be the case that married couples don't leave their individual assets to one another. Shared assets are a different issue and can easily be dealt with with existing civil laws (e.g. joint tenancy for property ownership).
In your example there's not enough info to determine if the person who died (wasn't me, I have a will that sets out explicitly what I want done with my estate) wanted either the sibling or the romantic partner to get all or part of the money. Maybe the person was on the verge of breaking up with the partner. Maybe the partner is independently wealthy and the sibling has more need of the money. Maybe the sibling has children. Maybe the person wanted to leave all the money to her favourite charity.
Regardless, I don't see how the government getting out of marriage affects the outcome in this case.
There was a news show on a number of years ago about identical twin sisters one of whom was happy being a woman (married with children) and the other felt like she was a (straight) man trapped inside a woman's body and was undergoing the process to have a sex change operation. Psychiatrists were especially interested in these twins because a lot of the theories of why someone is homosexual could be ruled out. They're genetics are (mostly) the same, they would have been exposed to the same hormones in utero, they were raised similarly (no sibling is raised exactly the same as another, even twins). In the end it was still a mystery as to why one twin was a hetereosexual woman and the other was not.
I agree. I'm Canadian where we do allow homosexual marriage (which I'm fine with), but ideally I would like the concept of civil marriage to be done away with. If you believe in a religion that has marriage, then that's fine and feel free to marry/divorce according to that religions customs/beliefs. But, that shouldn't have any effect on our civil lives regarding taxes, benefits etc.
Also, call back if you didn't get the job and ask why you didn't (in a polite way). I had a friend just go through a tough time finding another job (not tech related) and for the interviews where she didn't receive an offer she called and asked what she could improve on, whether that be job skills, experience or personal. She got a lot of good feedback.

You're missing the point. If you don't have a dedicated charging station then where do you charge your car overnight?

Totally agree!
Actually, that's pretty skinny for a woman 5'10" as well.

Where's your citation for the study that shows this correlation?
I would if I had the points.
There's nasty court cases like that every day in the courts with the current system. That's no reason to NOT change things.
you'll instead have a nasty court battle with the sibling arguing "they hated each other" and the partner arguing "we loved each other."

No, actually I don't.

Agreed. I can walk for 4-5 hours and my body isn't sore, but an hour of standing is brutal.
