Lol, a single indian reservation with a million inhabitants is: millions of voters. Even if it is only 0.5 million who have voting rights. Granted, there wont be many like that, and I don't know how big the particular one she mentioned is. The estimation is that up to 20 million voters got hurdles thrown there way to prevent them from voting. No idea if that is true, but my friend gave me a huge list of incidents and that surely is more than one million cases. Anyway, she posted it on facebook, and I have to search it... and I'm at the moment not in the mood... but if you are interested I do it next days. (It is a long post).
they have a completely rational distase for food that doesn't digest properly. And why would any food, any nation or any culture on this planet is cooking, not be "digested properly"?
Some strange setup with the acoustics was reflecting that conversation at the other table right to where I was sitting. Likely true, but also possible: you saw their mouthes move and your brain stiched it together.
How do you actually get to know a potential mate if you don't even talk to them? It is probably the other way around. They never learned how to talk to a stranger, especially opposite sex. And being able to chat is a revelation for them. I would not wonder if the couples you see would share stories on social media with each other while they are sitting there.
Civil engineers pointing to the concrete damage was not caused by the earthquake and implying a neutron pulse *could* have done that damage. That would imply that somewhere was a close to critical concentration of either plutonium or uranium (I guess they can get critical as a mix, too?). Can't imagine a "dirty bomb" with hundreds of tons of fuel... that would indeed be apocalyptic.
groceries for them or to buying their groceries in limited and/or expensive mini-markets. The mini markets are the same brand, and have hence the same price like the super/hypermarches outside of the town.
The cost of energy in europe, and that includes the countries with relatively high consumer costs, is so damn low: it has absolutely no effect on anything. Hint: you only see prices *I* as a household customer pay. And the industry pays not even 1/6th of that, and that is more or less the same all over Europe.
If you are a medium sized bakery, with about 10 staff baking in two shifts, or a restaurant serving 1000 guests a day, then you might be in the range where you are *somewhat* affected by power prices. E.g. considering if a third shift makes sense.
What will they do in a cloudy day with no wind? No idea. I guess they sit in the streets in front of the bars and caffees under the gas powered heaters and debate loudly about when the power is back and curse that they can not charge their mobile phones and that the internet is gone anyway. On the other hand the French are considered romantic, I guess they have some ideas what they can do at home with candle light... Red wine you drink at room temperature anyway, and the beer in the fridge stays cold long enough.
On the other hand: they simply could import power from Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Swizzerland...
means more fossil fuel energy. Citation: Energiewende and German emissions trends. Perhaps you like to find a link? Will be pretty hard as fossil fuel usage in Germany is on the decline since 30 years...
Yeah, but then we need a data breach and a flaw that connects the carriers of those genes with their address or phone number (a picture would be nice, too).
Such "hypermarkets" are actually very common in France. They have a "zone comercial" or "zone industrial" and there are often 5 or 6 supermarkets on one spot. But one of them might be a Decathlon (sports wear and gear, boats, trecking, hunting etc.) or a home depot or market with only plants. They are very attractive as minimum one of them also has a gas station that is much cheaper than in the city.
I forget your exact position on the Brexit vote The BREXIT will be a disaster (it actually is already) for the UK. That is my only opinion. I would have loved to work a year or two there... so lets see how they manage work permits etc. after the BREXIT. If I need special work permits it is not worth the hassle.
but tell me how much you object to the EU's approach of just having nations vote on the same initiative every couple of years until "the voters finally get it right". The EU does not have this approach. Then again, UK will probably vote about the BREXIT again.
I'm also sympathetic to illegal Mexicans, but they should certainly be excluded from voting in the US. Sure. And what about the many legal americans who are blocked from voting every year?
E.g. requiring a week before the midterms that in some states all native americans living in reservations need a street address and house number to be allowed to vote? In some reservations they ran around night and day to set up street signs and hand out house numbers to parcels of land that never had such things.
A girl I know wrote a 2 pages rant about what happened in the USA last months attempting to block millions of voters from being able to vote. Perhaps I can copy it here.
The perceived problem with Chinese and Thai is that the languages are tonal, which is an initial challenge as we are not used to pick up the tones. However professional language schools use learning tapes that emphasize the tones, that means a low tone is much lower than a Chinese would speak it, a high tone much higher and rising and falling tones are emphasized, too.
As soon as you over that hurdle, 90% of Chinese is just learning vocabulary. The grammar, no offense, of most asian languages is "baby speak", in other words: no male/female, no elaborated past or future tenses, no singular or plural etc.
German is somewhat easy for an English speaker, because the grammar is similar and many words overlap in meaning, often just slight spelling changes make an english word int a german one. Spanish is considered to be an easy language: Chinese is 10 times more easy! Try Japanese first, it has no tones, but otherwise same concepts! AFAIK the grammar of Chinese is less "complex" than the Japanese one, but Japanese is similar easy as it uses marker words to point out subject, object etc.
Obviously to read and write Chinese you have to put in more effort. Then again: if you start with Japanese and reach high school level (which takes about 3 - 4 years), you already know about 1200 "chinese characters", that is about one character per day. And before the nitpickers start: yes, a few of them have not the _exact_same_ meaning in Chinese, but usually they are close enough like: hot water in Chinese and soap in Japanese.
I am surprised we have not seen more tourism in Antarctica. There is an international treaty against it. And the amount of ships "allowed" to enter the waters per year is limited.
You seem to be just fine with them predicting less. That is just your perception.
But in case of e.g. Spain: yes. There is no reason why Andalusia should have more rain when the "weather" around it, aka over the Atlantic is warmer and hence more water evapours. The water aka clouds don't know: "oh!!!! we are more know!!!! we can go over the mountains and rain behind it!!! Lets go, lets go!"
The clouds will rain down before the mountains just like they always did...
If that will result in less water, I don't know. Most of regions like that rely on snow melting after the winter. So with your idea of more humidity, more clouds, perhaps some of the regions have more snow/ice. Which would mean more water in spring and summer... but: neither you nor me have the expertice and equipment to pick regions where this is the case. And on global scale: that is most likely irrelevant. Or do you want to have a new profession? "Refugee pilot from 'badly hit regions' for humans to migrate to 'positively affected regions'" ??? Do you really think you can monitor all the variables and happenings that such a "traffic pilot" would work? Or do you accept that harvest changes and other developments trail 20 or 30 yeas behind the hardships the refugees experience?

How do you come to the idea that a totalitarian state has "lack of oversight"?

Then the hypermarchés are just instruments that suck the life out of the city center and relegate the inhabitants in the aforementioned situation
In theory yes. In practice Franc and Spain found a very good balance between both.

That needs a lot of power. 24/7 power and at a low cost.

Funnily the biggest power consumer in France is the nuclear industrial complex with its reprocessing plants

I too speak both French and bullshit.
That is probably the reason why your post is bullshit.
Perhaps you want to check how much hydropower and pumped storage France has, and how much wind: https://www.rte-france.com/en/...
But you might find better links to support your retardedness ...

Oh, perhaps because I use the "old interface".
Yeah, but according to the web site it is written in Java.

"science" all but can't exist due to the culture of complete dishonesty and corruption in academia and research.
Any citations or proof for that?
Most asian languages are super easy.

Christians had laws like that. Or from where do you think the Arabs copied them?

Earth does not only refer to the planet.
It also means: ground or soil.
So an earthquake on Mars makes the same sense as an earthquake on Earth.
Well, you could argue: as literally everything except his PC and perhaps yours uses a kernel written in C ....
Because it is easier to implement it that way instead of changing all the Java infrastructure around it?
This one e.g. is not micro kernel based: http://www4.cs.fau.de/Projects... but it is over a decade old.
You seem to be just fine with them predicting less.
That is just your perception.
