To be fair, the argument about not speaking Russian all day is not quite strong because not everyone in the USSR was able to speak Russian. Many Soviet citizens could only speak about as much Russian, as GDR kids had to learn back then at school.
Nope. Cutting corners it was. The reactor was designed by cutting corners - enlarging a military reactor the scientists developed 20 years earlier and without a containment (too expensive and nuclear power were considered safe anyway). It was built by cutting corners - utilizing unqualified and uncaring workers, who were faking weld seams. It was operated by cutting corners - qualified people weren't employed - using former conventional power plant operators instead. The experiment ran by cutting corners - instead of waiting for a day due to reactor poisoning, the night shift manager decided to continue nevertheless.
Oh, and due to a quite similar accident on the Leningrad power plant, which happened in 1975, the reactors of RBMK type were to be modified, but not immediately, only when reactors went offline for maintenance - cutting corners again. Guess on which day the Chernobyl reactor #4 was to be shut down for maintenance?
The experiment itself was just the last straw. The actual reason for all this was a very very long string of cutting corners.
"The British wanted to restore the Qajar Dynasty to power, because they had served British interests well prior to Reza Shah's reign. But the heir to the throne, Hamid Hassan Mirza, was a British citizen who spoke no Persian. Instead (with the help of Foroughi), Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi took the oath to become the Shah of Iran.[21] Reza Shah was arrested before he was able to leave Tehran, and placed into British custody. He was sent to exile as a British prisoner in South Africa, where he died in 1944."
See? Like I said, you are a bloody liar as you have always been.
Here in Germany there was a minor scandal because Vattenfall - a private company - kept quiet about a hydrogen explosion and the ensuing cooling water loss in one of their nuclear power plants (INES 1, but still), and continuing to operate the power plant after quickly patching some pipes. This is against every law for operation of nuclear power plants. It were government officials, who found out about the problem and the company tried to talk themselves out of it.
Precedent cases can be used as a source of argumentation by the lawyer, but ultimately it is up to the judge to decide how to interpret the law. This is why similar cases can have completely different rulings, but usually haven''t, since the law framework, on which judges base their decisions, is generally the same.
A much bigger problem? Have you actually read the linked page? The Greek grey market is at 24% of their GDP. That means a whole quarter of all business transactions in Greece is untaxed. I bet most of their "unemployed" are actually moonlighting and collecting unemployment benefits at the same time. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever and I don't see why my taxes should pay for that crap. I mean, yes, there are always some freeloaders, I can live with that. But normally they are a tiny minority, not a whole bloody country full of them.
Only constitutional courts can do that (because their rulings can become laws). Generally, German judges are only subordinate to the law, this is why precedents aren't binding.
Maybe if you would just started thinking before you write something, just for once.
Yes, corals die easily, and some survive and adapt. But only if the change is small enough to allow the survival of some. If the change is strong enough or happens too quickly, there won't be any survivals.
And as for trees, sure the trees were planted. But they were planted where the trees used to grow and were cut in first place.
It is the same in every post you write. You accuse others of being stupid but you yourself are unable to look beyond superficial, unable to see interrelationships, too dense to understand positive feedback loops and unintended consequences.
Of course it was a rocket. The main engine was inside it. Buran was just a payload on Energia, but the Shuttle was most certainly a rocket strapped to a fuel tank and two additional boosters.

Comments aren't there for following the code - even a code monkey like me can do that. They are to explain the reasoning behind the code.

10% is actually a lot. About the same as UK, but London is the world's largest financial center.

Greeks aren't Slavs, they are Turkish.
This is part of the problem. Corruption won't ever stop until people stop giving bribes in first place.
This was a crisis you have created in first place. And unlike Greece, we actually pay our debts back.
The cheapest Leaf here in Germany costs EUR 29690. And homes are very expensive as well - the majority of Germans rents flats.
not if it is personal use

Oh, but I do. Learn the actual history, not the conservapedia variation.

You are, as always, a bloody liar.
UK has installed that particular shah in first place. In 1941 to be precise.

Only that Greece doesn't have much to export - mostly olives/olive oil and some seasonal fruit.
To be fair, all these were very long ago.
Except that puritan daughters are far more likely to get pregnant as teens. Just saying.

Not for lack of trying.
