Here's another small tweak: Fold the line back on itself to form a grid!
That way, you can ditch the whole train thing and just walk to all of your destinations. Plus, you get an urban plan that has been proven workable since the days of ancient Mesopotamia.
Inflation and they're audiences it didn't beatZack Snyder's Man of Steel?
It did well domestic business, but stunk it up in China, and the rest of Asia doesn't look too good either. The only foreign market that's really putting in good numbers is Latin America. Since the domestic market is doing better than expected, it'll make money. But with the way Asia is playing out, it won't make the kind of money that Warner Brothers was hoping for.
Hollywood has been relying on Asia for profitability on multi-million dollar CGI epics for a couple of decades now. They may have to adjust their business model.
Good point. An army that sees all others as subhuman and sees only the next death is one that has to keep fighting. It has no choice. It's the only thing it knows. It can keep conquering more territory outwards, or it can slaughter its own government inwards. History shows those are your two options.
Whether or not Russia conquers Ukraine, it will attack other countries - vast numbers of bored, underpaid soldiers would seek entertainment elsewhere if they didn't.
This is what I'm going by:
The report said that in December 2018, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a special airworthiness information bulletin based on reports from operators of model 737 planes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.
The airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive – a legally enforceable regulation to correct unsafe conditions.
The same switch design is used in Boeing 787-8 aircraft, including Air India’s VT-ANB, which crashed. The report added: “As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory.”

Materials to build Henry Ford's first factory were delivered by horse-drawn carts.
1. Were the safety guards, which were optional, installed?
2. We know investigators are looking into the computer system, does this mean the computer can also set the switch settings?
If the answers are "no" and "no" respectively, it was likely an accidental bump.
If the answers are "yes" and "no", then one of the pilots lied.
If the answer to the second one is yes, then regardless of the answer to the first, I'd hope the investigation thoroughly checks whether the software can be triggered into doing so through faulty data or the existence of software defects.
Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.
sounds suspiciously like people in the government doing science work and that's verboten. turn those nerds into ICE deputies.
"Sir, we need to know how fast the earth spins so we can aim our missiles."
Very well then. Carry on, ensign.
Not sure off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with Planck units.
It wasn't that long ago that people were making posts on this site confidently claiming that "Maybe machines can beat humans at chess, but they will never be able to beat the best human players at go!"
More importantly, how will they be able to spot the trojans in the code that are part of the AI's plan to eliminate humans and take over the world?
Between established coders with careers and the folks already nearly through the pipe, we're staffed up. It's not that I agree that coding is dead... I just think we're saturated, and the demand will decrease.
HR: "We're doing a RIF, and unfortunately, we're going to have to let you go".

Low sperm only matters if you are trying to have a child. If you have no desire then who cares about sperm counts?
For the women that DO want to have children it's certainly an increasing problem.
Easy contraceptives availability is part of it but not the most important one. There are 3 main reasons:
1) Economics. Kids cannot be used as cheap labour from around age 8 as it was in the past. Instead they are costing a lot of money to around age 18-24. Parents have retirement - kids are not that important from the point of view of taking care for aging people.
2) Fun. There are a lot of sources of fun besides sex now. TV, games, sports, carrier building
3) And the most important one: women do not want kids as much any more. The studies have shown that the best correlation is between how much women want kids and how many kids they end up to have. Women have many alternative sources of activities when compared to 9 months of carrying a "parasite" around in their belly PLUS additional around 18-24 years of resource drainage. Kids are great fun to have but they are costly as hell. They cost resources which can be spend on alternatives which are fun as well and which are not such a long time commitment.
So, to sum up your argument, we've become weak, hedonistic, and uncaring about our own civilization.
