Plus the average US car consumes much more fuel than the average UK car. So your 2x expense would quickly become a 3-4x expense. A Ford F350 truck happens to be slightly less efficient than a Ford Focus.

But seriously, dirt cheap fuel has caused the demand for fuel efficient vehicles to be near zero in the US. No one would drive these stupid trucks otherwise.

Me when I post before looking up whether I'm right:

Anyway, naming trains after their operator rather than their manufacturer is stupid. Or rather, making me look so.

Why the hell would you use an Amtrak train?? That's a horrible name.

Now, trains made by Siemens/Bombardier are much more fitting. Like this one:

ICE = InterCity Express btw

The sample size is more than sufficient to make these statements. The only flaw is that all participants are from Norway so there may be selection bias.

2200 people would be enough for a phase 3 clinical trial with a lot of participants. You know, the type of study after which your medication/treatment will be approved if successful:

Phase III studies are randomized controlled multicenter trials on large patient groups (300–3,000 or more depending upon the disease/medical condition studied) and are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the drug is, in comparison with current 'gold standard' treatment.

I've heard some people have that issue, check out binhex's qbit container with built-in VPN handling.

Most people don't understand why this is a good thing.

On these platforms the consumer is the importer. Meaning there is absolutely zero consumer protection happening. If whatever you import is toxic/dangerous/not working as advertised you can do jack shit.

Forcing these companies to build warehouses in the EU makes them the importer and actually liable for all the toxic junk sold.

Sun child - unless it was during a solar eclipse, then moon child.

Easy: Was it between sunrise and dawn at the time you were born?

Those are daksents obviously, how else would you even pronounce them?

But I think pronouncing Swedish words in German with an IKEA ad accent works well enough.

But even in German it's just pronounced Blåhaj.

Sure, -aj would usually be written -ai despite being pronounced the same and å only exists in South German dialects (why the fuck not North German btw???) but still.

Wieso, schau doch mal was PEGIDA alles erreicht hat 🙂

Anti-personnel land mines are not a war crime despite doing exactly the same thing: Killing indiscriminately in a selected region. They're even worse than autonomous drone attacks in that they will continue to kill for decades to come.

The only thing banning them was a convention Russia never signed, forcing Ukraine to withdraw as well.
