But then shouldn't there be a delay when using actual Chrome?

I thought pounds could be used for either mass or force, and in modern usage just saying "pounds" usually refers to mass. Wikipedia seems to agree:

Those are British though. Though I'm sure there are also American examples.

I would have said 平和 (heiwa). As another learner, I've never seen 安泰, and ピース I see mostly used as a reference to the "peace sign" (the hand gesture).

The way I described it, there would be an odd number of flights every day, so the average will also be odd.

Imagine there was only one flight. Day 1 it leaves Edinburgh and lands at Heathrow. Day 2 it leaves Heathrow and lands back in Edinburgh. Then repeat again. There is exactly one flight every day, so the average is odd.

A plane starts the day at the airport, does an even number of flights back and forth, and then one last flight and ends it at another airport. Repeat the next day but in reverse.

Only if they only spoke one language. Googling indicates there are somewhere around 1.45 to 2 billion total English speakers, so just knowing English might hit 25% already.

Edit: Also, the graph only lists languages with 50 million speakers, so the real proportions are smaller.

There are definitely VSCode extensions which ask you to pay for them, like GitLens.

Apple, for one, because not only do they default to this but there's no option to change it separately for the mouse wheel vs touch pad without third party software.

While we're being pedantic,

lit. "octopus balls"

It doesn't literally mean that, it's more like "grilled octopus".

There is an advantage to the "new" model - when you subscribe, you retroactively get access to all past content as well.

Obviously for a newspaper or similar time-sensitive content this is not a very useful feature, but for other media/services it can be worth the trade-off of losing access after your subscription ends.

It doesn't. The GPL is satisfied as long as they provide you with the source code for the version of RHEL that they distributed to you. But they're not obligated to continue distributing later versions to you.
