The chinese arn't particularly concerned about human rights or international law, they're very much into gunboat diplomacy. Ask the tibetans. If some tinpot dictator in africa nationalised chinese assets he'd be dead within a month and his palace a smouldering ruin.
... but things get a bit more complex when they're wet or have leaves or snow on them. A heavier train can push through any crap on the railhead and get better grip whereas a lighter train can have more problems. This is most noticable in autumn when leaves on the line can be a serious problem.
"all the work China is doing in Africa is largely being done by Chinese construction crews"
There's a reason for that, but in todays politically correct west we're not allowed to say it. The chinese are less bothered by PC bullshit however which is why they'll probably triumph economically in the end.
So you'll be able to point me in the direction of another 2 ton electric 4 door that can do 0-60 in 3 seconds and still has a quoted range of 300 miles and is on sale today then won't you....
Look up how much energy it takes to manufacture a modern car. Most of it will have come from fossiil fuel power stations or diesel transporation, either shippingi, trains or trucks.
.... and its unrealistic CO2 emissions targets. Sure, it will end up with cars producing less CO2, but they'll as you say be less reliable and all the replacement parts required and/or early scrapping will easily offset any minor gains in the exhaust emissions.
... sometimes with good reason, but we need people like him to force innovation on these dinosaurs otherwise nothing will change even if at the end of the day the maverick loses and the dinosaurs survive but producing much better vehicles.
There is that, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of the smart engineers (both hardware and software) are slowly leaving apple to move on to more interesting things. There have been more fuckups than you'd expect from them in the last few years especially on the software side, and the level of innovation has been pretty much zero since jobs died.
... to know that he's not going to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. I supposed we should be impressed he can actually operate a grown up computer, thats an einstein level ability down in da hood.
Apple want to lock down everything. I suppose this is in lieu of having zero innovation since Jobs died and just miling the same shit. Eventually the market will move on and they're despirately trying to hold onto their users.
You really need to get over yourself, you sound like the typical whiny self pitying prick that every school has a few of, blaming everyone except themselves for their problems, jealous of anyone who seemed to be enjoying their life and still bitter years later nursing their grudges like an old whisky and still defined by them.
FWIW no, I didn't bully anyone, I just got on with things. Perhaps I just went to a school with normal people since I didn't meet many sociopaths there.
Speak for yourself mate. We didn't all have mental health problems when we were that age or were so weak and inadequate that peer pressure dictated how we behaved and what we did. I had quite a good time when I was a teen FWIW.
Safe distance is a nice academic idea which ignores the reality of driving on busy roads. Leave enough of a gap between yourself and the car in front and someone will cut in and fill it. And in fact while not as safe, close driving is far more efficient in terms of utilising road space in city enviroments.
FFS, 80% of the earths surface is covered in water which is constantly evaporating as part of the water cycle.
"hundreds of tons per day of water vapor from the atmosphere"
Wow, that much! Newsflash - More than 1 million tons PER SECOND evaporates into the atmosphere. Google it. Thousands of tons of water is probably already taken out of the atmosphere each day just due to air conditioner condensation you moron.
Their hardware simply isnt up to the job any more, Cook has not only dropped the ball, he's kicked it out of the stadium. So its no surprise studios are moving over to commodity PCs. I'm guessing they already have a lot of unix based tools and apps so moving to Windows would be a royal PITA (not to mention the security issues) making Linux the obvious alternative.
If blue light was really as bad as they make out then we'd all go blind from looking at a blue sky.
Interestingly however, the human retina can see UV light but it's blocked by the lens. However when people had replcement lenses put due to cataracts they could now see this UV (as the artificial lens didn't block it) and THIS caused some serious problems.
... is exactly why humans values these stones so highly. Sure, they're hard, but thats a pretty niche use. Apparently they look pretty. To me they just look like bits of glass which also doesn't tarnish. I honestly don't get why our species craves this stone so much.
Except you with a normal network you have the option to continue training it if you want to and even if you don't , downloading a new one is simple. When this needs to be updated it simply goes in the bin and a new one has to be fabricated. Not terribly efficient.
Except the credit card companies know you use the train , almost certainly know where you topped it up so could analyse your travel patterns. Also the train company knows where and when you travel too. If you think this card as as anonymous as cash then you're obviously just another idiot millenial.

Racism? Just stating facts my friend. Not all of us live in a liberal fantasy world.

Meanwhile other manufacturers solve that problem by providing 2 SIM slots.

"then you must be the exception or perhaps you have/had wealthy parents or something"
No and no, just normal.
"Isolated, exiled, social problems, problems at home plus the regular problems of the preteen and teen ages... yep... it was bad"
Sucked to be you eh? But not everyone had your shitty life.
"Preteen and teen years are just brutal."
Speak for yourself mate. We didn't all have mental health problems when we were that age or were so weak and inadequate that peer pressure dictated how we behaved and what we did. I had quite a good time when I was a teen FWIW.
"Keep your kid away from socializing online and they will become outcasts and misfits. You'd be proud as a parent and your kid would be fucked up."
Is that what Mark and Evan told you?

You're an idiot, go get yourself an education.

"For both the bowerbird and humans the goal is the same: reproduction, which I presume from your confusion is something you are unfamiliar with."
Is it? I'll have to tell my kid that. Might come as a surprise.
"The diamond, like the bower decorations, is a proxy for genetic fitness."
Except there's nothing to differentiate it from glass except by an expert.
"Pro-tip"
Thanks for that. Shall I note you as being tight as well as a rude?
