    Back in the day it was the UK who insisted that no third country would have access to the internal. What goes around, comes around, I guess.

    Except not. Because if Stalin had actually killed 40 millions, then, together with the losses in WW2, the USSR population would have been halved. This alone would make the country completely unsustainable. At least you aren't as ridiculous as some people who insist that Stalin has killed 100 millions of soviet citizens because adding the WW2 losses that would be about all of them.

    Petersburg, not Petersberg.
    Both burg and berg are germanic words, they might even sound alike when spoken with an English pronounciation, yet they mean two completely different things.

    A burg is a castle, a berg is a mountain.

    Exactly. And given that the "European Research Group" is staunchly anti-European, it is probably just as likely that the "Atheists Research Centre" is an organisation for religious nutjobs.

    Using just one Russian profanity at a time is doing it wrong, no matter whether for a password or for cursing. If I remember my Russian lessons correctly it should be at least three storeys high.

  12. Re:what a stupid design on A Software Malfunction Is Throwing Riders Off of Lime Scooters (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has actually learned to use two-wheeled vehicles properly knows that the rear brake locks the wheel which leads to skidding and is generally very weak and hence should only be used when riding downhill. Otherwise use either just the front brake or both brakes at the same time while moving your weight backwards and pushing against the handle bars.

    It would still be superior for that task. All that classic stuff has been converted to streaming video nowadays, eating far more bandwidth, yet with worse quality.

    Average wages are misleading. I live in Germany and earn a wage that is almost exactly average, yet in relative numbers I am in the top 20% of the earners.

    The funniest thing about it is that some of these airlines changed their minds about that and did ask for a modernised A330 after all. Cue the A330neo that now cannibalises a part of the A350 sales.

    The wings are too heavy, but not just because of the fuel tanks.
    They were sized for the stretched A380-900, an aircraft with an almost 100 tons higher maximum take off weight, so they are too sturdy for the A380-800.

  25. Well, sorry for that. Writing on a mobile phone while standing in a moving train is somewhat difficult.
