Rolls Royce is gone. Bought by BMW more than a decade ago. The gas turbine manufacturer still exists, though. Lamborghini is gone, it is owned by VW now. Rolex has a cheaper brand (Tudor). What was your point again? X
Many Poles believe that crazy conspiracy theory instead of accepting that their military pilots just can't fly that well. Was altogether a good thing for Poland, though. Something similar would so a lot of good over here, too - maybe I should donate Merkel and her entourage a ticket to Smolensk.
Szydlo is just a puppet of the aforementioned head of the Piss party and probably hates Russians herself, like every other self respecting Pole. And they don't exactly need to spy on their own people and seize control of the courts, they just do it because they can and because it is what nationalist governments tend to do.
You must confuse it with Cyrix. Their CPUs were utter crap, but K6-2 and expecially K6-3 were quite decent when it came to ingeger performance and bearable at the FPU side.
Poland pro-Russian? Don't be ridiculous. The head of their Piss party would exterminate all Russians if he could, and wants the Polish empire to stretch from the Baltic sea to the Black sea, just like in good old times.
There are several reactor designs that can run on natural uranium. CANDU, RBMK (like the one in Chernobyl - although they use enriched uranium nowadays for safety reasons), UNGG... The key is either graphite or heavy water moderation, because light water absorbs too many neutrons.
Matter of fact it was. Tsarist Russia was technologically almost a century behind the rest of the developed world. USSR closed that gap despite their horrendous losses in WW2. Only by 1970ies they have started to falling behind the times yet again but even then they had their share of innovations.
A spoiler does not create downforce, it spoils lift. Airplanes have wings which create lift. This lift is counterproductive when the airplane has landed and needs to brake. Thus spoilers are deployed, which create a controlled stall on the wing, depriving the wing of lift so the whole weight of the aircraft can rest on the landing gear.
On cars, at higher speeds the whole car body starts creating lift, which makes traction and braking problematic. And here come the spoilers - they disrupt the airflow and thus reduce lift.
Humans aren't predators. Predators have a very different dental formula - they have carnassials (which humans lack) and much larger fangs than humans. They also have much stronger jaws. Chimps are animals that are most closely related to humans and they eat mostly fruits, nuts and leaves. Meat is only a small part of their diet, even though their fangs are much larger than human fangs.
he US powered a city from a nuclear power plant in 1951.
Your words, not mine. You don't know the difference between a building (by no means the full campus, just the light bulbs in the reactor building were powered) and a city. You also don't know the difference between a bloody military breeding reactor where the usage of some of its waste heat was added as an afterthought and an actual purpose-built nuclear power plant connected to an actual power grid.
You mix up two unrelated reactors. EBR1 that went online in 1951 hasn't powered a city, just the facility and wasn't connected to the grid. One of the BORAX reactors at the same site was connected to the grid, but in 1955, not in 1951. So yes, that one was the first for the Soviets.
Crusades against the Balts, the Czech and the Russians were pretty much Christian (Catholic to be precise because both Czech and Russians were Christian by that point) rampages out of the blue.
There is just not much need for a strategic bomber anymore, thus the old machines are still being used. Same for Russia with their Tu-95 - a quite similar airplane.
If you have older hardware, you might have difficulties getting the drivers to work. Half of my Thinkpad X200's hardware wasn't working with Windows 10. Also Windows 10 is fugly compared to 7 and still feels like an early beta.

I like the design. Much better than this modern crap with huge text and images and parallax scrolling, but zero actual content.
Come on, OMG ponies was good.
Probably because you had his stories in the filter, as pretty much everyone else.
Same thing with the first American in space. Also just a sub-orbital flight.
Oh come on, are you just a kid or what? This is common knowledge.

SSRI can do that, though. The desire just goes away and it makes life much much easier.
Yeah, that's what the B ark inhabitants said that to themselves.
WTF are you talking about? I cycle through Frankfurt am Main every working day. The air is not as good as in the mountains, but decent enough.
Fade away? There is still a shitload of colourful CNC bike parts around and some companies (like Hope Tech) make most of their parts on CNC mills.

Actually, the fist actual nuclear power plant was built in the USSR.

Flat borders, ugly flat icons, tiles in the start menu.
