Could you post the median values or even better visualise the distributions or give the data? Sauber had a few really bad pit stops at the beginning of the season which pulls their average down a lot, but doesn't affect the median that much.

Has nobody learned from KSP2? First you release the unfinished game, promise to fix everything, and only then you close the studio, not the other way around.

People give Anno 1800 too little credit, other than that I agree.

This is a manmade problem though. We exterminated all or most of the predators that would usually do the duty of population control in our stead, because said predators didn't differentiate between livestock and wild animals.

Not just him, it's also negatively affecting other people around him. The smoke doesn't just stop at an invisible barrier where the smoking area ends and the non-smoking area begins.

I'd rather wait because they actually take their time to talk to their patients than them kicking everyone (including me) out of the door as soon as the time is over.

If your university has a law faculty they might offer limited legal advice from current students for free or a reduced fee.

Even in that case the app doesn't need to phone home. It doesn't even need an internet connection on its own. You'd have to download the update yourself and then use the app to apply the patch, which is less user friendly to not-so-tech-savy users but possible. Just send an email with the necessary information to users who have subscribed to receive these kind of updates.

Sometimes there's a tie for a position which cannot be resolved by the current rules or won't be played out at all.

In athletics, for example in pole vault, you have several tries to reach a certain height, if two athletes are tied at the same height the amount if failed tries is compared, but this still leads to shared places quite often. In the sports where you're scoring points you might get a tie by having the same highest score, which is usually resolved by comparing the second or third best score, but even that might not always be sufficient. In some of the tournament sports there are no games for third place, so the losers of the semi finals share third.

A reviewer once remarked that I'm not worthy of being in my field of study. I'm so much happier since I left academy behind. I obviously love science, but fuck the current culture and people that enable and encourage such behaviour.

In the UK, free speech is not possible either. See D-notices, and later super-injunctions to stop media and individuals reporting on facts.

Please provide examples.

Free speech isn't a constitutional right in Australia

I am not very well versed in Australian law, but this indicates to me that free speech is indeed protected in Australia.

Lauren Southern was banned from the UK?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Southern

She's a far-right racist conspiracy theorist nutjob who was denied entry into the UK for spewing hatred. Her right to express herself ends where other people's rights for freedom, health and safety begin.
