Roundabouts are a one way road, you don´t need to signal when driving on it. But you do need to indicate when you are leaving the roundabout.

I'll never understand why China spent so much time and money finding the perfect remote karst for radio astronomy and then built a radio-loud amusement park around it.

Because it is a prestige project for Chinese government. Any science coming out of that is secondary to that.

The claim is that Kissinger sabotaged peace talks thus extended the war in order for his guy to win the elections.

Kissinger is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands people. They had families. They were real people who died. Death doesn´t absolve someone from committing crimes against humanity. To claim that people should only talk about the good things person did is a serious case of decorum poisoning. Nobody celebrates serial killers.

The "tiny hands" joke isn´t funny because Donald Trump has tiny hands, no one cares about that or if it is true.

The part that makes the joke funny, is its origins. In the 80s journalist was writing a story about Donald and mentioned his small hands in it. But Donald Trump is so insecure that even 10 years later he kept sending cut off pictures of himself from magazines to the author, with his hands circled with a marker, to prove that his hands werent small. The fact that the marker was gold coloured was a cherry on top.

The sheer stupidity of this entire thing is what makes the (though overplayed) joke funny.

For the last 20 years battery cost per kW/h has fallen around 10% average every year. ICE engines have thousands of moving parts driving up the complexity and price, while electric engines have what, 3 moving parts? It is inevitable that the electric cars will take over, ICE engines just can´t compete on price.

Its not the first female majority parliament in the world, its the first female majority parliament in europe.

Right now, there are five countries where there is a female majority: Rwanda(61%), Cuba(53%), Nicaragua(51%), Mexico(50%) and United Arabian Emirates(50%).

You might think that just because you're a beta male that chastises everyone on every internet forum about 'muh sexism' to win points with the girls, even though they'll never fuck you cause you're beta, you're immune but this is proof that it is not the case.

wtf is this drivel? Please keep your incel worldviews away from hackernews.

"After large-scale political changes I want there be no changes that might affect me personally."

.eu domain has certain registration requirements: - A Union citizen, independently of their place of residence. - A natural person who is not a Union citizen and who is a resident of a Member State. - An undertaking that is established in the Union. - An organization that is established in the Union, without prejudice to the application of national law.

Its completely normal for entities to stop servicing other entities after they aren´t in accordance of laws or rules.

According to Soviet penal code, paragraph 58-1, betrayal of motherland, aka treason. Punishable by death or 25+5 in prison camp. True and proper communist wouldn't have let himself be captured.

Besides United States, Papua New Guinea and Suriname also do not require employers to provide paid time off for new parents. So US isn´t the only country in the world that doesn´t have paid parental leave. Its one of the three countries in the world.

It already is. People are: A) Wearing masks in public and more avoidant of contact with others. B) Getting Flu vaccine much more popular. It has sold out in the country. and C) Lot of people in the risk groups(where largest share of flu mortality comes from), are already dead from COVID.

I don´t know why people overvalue Musk an Tesla that much for reducing emissions. When I ran the numbers last year, a single city in China(Guangzhou) was enough to reduce emissions more than entire Tesla sales, just by replacing all of their busses with electrical ones.

What head start in driverless tech? Right now, Tesla isn't even among top companies developing self-driving car technology.

Also, it's would pretty naive to think that governments would allow a single company to have such sort of monopoly like you describe.
