  • Spain’s rail network under scrutiny after second deadly crash in as many days

    Jump

  • The last wagon of the train is by far the safest. In both of these accidents, people in the last cars of all of these three trains have made it out unscathed.

    Just promise to be in the last wagon. You can go to the last wagon, or to one of the last ones, even if your ticket is for another one.

  • UK rock band ‘broke’ after touring arenas for two months

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm aware of this.

    Didn't Spotify just move to a system where they will pay anything at all only to 12% of their artists?

  • Isn't the point of a label to organize getting money to you from people listening to your music?

  • So, they somehow forgot that income tax exists?

    How can the existence of income tax come as a surprise?

  • What are those "withholding taxes"? Is it something most of which they will get back in a year or two?

    And of course: Why does Sony organize tours this way? Make them employees of a EU-based company and pay them through that. Should remove most of complications.

  • How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style?

    Jump

  • Does that still mean that the concept of "time" is not defined in a useful (human-understandable) manner in a black hole?

  • Transit Exit to an Highway

    Jump

  • What does "highway" mean in the context of this place? Are there other doors out of the building? What is the building?

    What is there on the highway? Is that where the buses stop and this is some kind of a shelter? Or is it assumed that people will fetch their friends from the building by stopping at the side of what is called highway here?

    Jump

  • Doesn't a black hole stretch time in a really weird manner? That would mean that no sensible answer can be given to the question. It could easily be that it takes either one billionth of a second or a trillion years, depending on where you are standing when observing the occurrence.

  • Is the US uranium market about to go nuclear in 2026?

    Jump

  • So, you'd promise that whoever brings you a sum of money, gets a lump of uranium? The more money brought, the bigger the lump? That would be kind of cool!

  • Is there really a technology difference between Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 ?

    Jump

  • the underlying OS has improved in a few areas

    Which ones are those?

  • If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win?

    Jump

  • I can't make head or tails of who would be fighting whom in that war.

    If a WW was to break tomorrow, it would probably be because of Trump making true his threats to attack NATO in order gain definite control over Greenland?

    Probably USA would be its own side without allies?Then there would probably be NATO as one side, most likely with Australia and Japan on the same team as NATO. And, I'd say, probably all of Southern and Central America.And the Russia and Iran with China? Pakistan would probably be on their side, so India would seek something else. More likely NATO than USA?

    But then again, WWIII would be such a big deal that it feels weird imagining it might end up a three-sided war. The loosest piece on this board is USA... If it allies with one of the sides, will that side be that of NATO or that of the Russia?

    Hm. Well, if it allies with China and the Russia, it gets super difficult for NATO to keep shit together. Then again, the Canadian border is not all that far away from DC, and Latvia is not far away from Moscow. We'd probably also have Ukraine on our side, and they can teach a lot about modern warfare!

    All in all: If USA manages to ally with someone, that side is likely to win. If it remains alone, it will probably lose. I would say that in a situation where USA doesn't ally with anyone, NATO would be the side losing the least.

    But, in the end nobody wins in a war.

  • For a Finn that's actually easy. You are used to an obscure writing system where the letters alone have no meaning, but you need to look at what letters are near what ones to know if you should pronounce an a or e or u or i.

    In Greek pronounciation you just look at each letter and pronounce it. Forget the big picture of the word, just concentrate on three consequtive letters at a time.

  • Many Years Ago, I Told A Nuclear Power Loving (Eventually Employee) Friend that I Heard that China had Solar Panels that Charged Even Off The Moon Light…

    Jump

  • So, less than a square metre of our planet's surface is radiating enough energy to power a 4W led bulb? Not bad, actually!

  • Sundials were absolutely surely invented several times around the world, also in Australia etc. After all, a sundial is nothing but a stick in the ground.

    If mechanical clocks were invented before colonizers arrived, then the colonizers' clocks eventually replaced them. But, I understand they were invited only after all of the southern hemisphere had been colonized by less civilized nations, so they follow the colonizers' standards everywhere.

  • Sorry, I did understand all of the words in your comment, but not what you actually meant with it. Could you paraphrase, please?
