Amazon says about $10 (a bit more).
Did not investigate deeper, as in a shop it easily hits $20.

Well, to soften it a bit: the roads are designed for U-turns. There is a spot specifically crafted/build for it.

My driving license is manual only.
Always was.

Your link does not contradict that. But it is a bit to complicated to point out my point :P

Point is: I have a "Fuererschein Klasse III" (and "class I" and some odd others): and strictly speaking I am not allowed to drive an automatic car. However, when I finally convert it: I am allowed to drive an automatic. Despite the fact: I have no clue how to do it.

The kids I know here: explicitly take driving classes to be able to drive manual and automatic. So I assume: there is still a distinction, which is not clear from your link. They pay extra to be allowed to drive both. (And unlike me: they learn how to drive both)

The fact that you do not grasp that "insert random agency" is not the government should concern the people who have stakes in you.

Everyone whose water supply is contaminated by heavy metals leaching into the groundwater, or whose air is contaminated by dust from the landfill site, or whose life is impacted by vermin which find a food source there.

Consumers don't recycle: they place items in the recycling bins, with or without various preliminary steps to clean and separate said items. Some of the items may, due to lack of cleaning or separation, affect the viability of recycling others of the items. The goal of public policy should be to encourage a mindset and habits which facilitate the recycling of the items which can be viably recycled (where "viably" ideally takes into account all externalities), not to encourage thoughtless mixing of non-recyclable waste into recyclable waste.

Microsoft had a layoff in China in June. I imagine this "workaround' isn't a thing anymore.

If they were working on opensource code, they could end up working on it upstream and still contributing.

Okay, Stupid Evil Christian Terrorist.

Nope.

That depends on the time when you made it. Originally, it was completely separated.
Then somewhere in the 90s, they allowed people with a manual transmission license to ride both.

And right now: it is separated again. You need to take extra hours on an automatic car, to be allowed to get a dual license.

How do I know? The place I hang out has several young guys getting the driving license right now.

Might be a little bit different from country to country, not sure.

With my license: I am not allowed to drive an automatic car. However, I am forced to get the new ID card sized driving license. And with that one - as I made my license 1986 - I get automatic as a gift. Pretty idiotic.

Technically: I have no clue how to drive an automatic car. Except for watching other people drive it.

Depends on the country.
In Germany the price is artificially inflated by "copyright fees" to pay to some RIAA like organizations, as every USB stick is obviously full with pirated material (and pirating is a jailable offence).

I should smuggle USB sticks from Asia and sell them on eBay in Germany ... 500% to 1000% earnings.

Regarding cars (no idea about bikes) it is similar in Thailand, you have to pass a test on the court of the "license school" ... with your own car. I wonder how the car gets there (j/k).

They have no mandatory hours for city, overland or highway or night driving etc.

I remember a facebook post where an agitated American was asking the FB crowed (yes, retarded idea).

The question was like: you try to enter a main road from a side road. The lanes of the main road are separated by two solid lines of paint. You want to turn left into the main road. What are you doing?
a) turn left into the main road (crossing the solid lines of separation)
b) turn right, go to the next U-turn and turn around

So his question was: why his answer "A" was always rejected.
So the community mocked him: why not simply take some driving lesions, read some books about driving rules instead of trying to memorize the correct answers for a multiple choice test - without grasping what the questions are about?

Nvidia is loaning money to AI companies to purchase Nvida GPUs,
That is basically what happened during the "dot com bubble crash", for example SUN lending out money to make companies like Toys Are Us great (no idea what happened to them). When the bubble busted SUN lost an incredible amount of money. So they got bought by Oracle, mostly.

And what will they do if I say, "No"?
Stupid question.

You are not even asked ...

No idea who modded you.

But this: "or tienaman (sp?) square" - is a stupid question.

The information about this is simply not in the model.

Mao and Stalin and their cronies became the new rich and middle class, while everyone else suffered. Why? Greed.
Stalin, because he actually wanted to starve the relevant people death, because he was an intentional mass murderer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Mao, because he was an idiot. In grandauers attitude, he rewarded his "generals" province government positions. With - amoung other things - supervising farming. Same time as "punishment" the "Bourgeoisie" was forced to work on farms, to "learn how hard - real work - is".

So, the Governor has no clue how to manage a farm and no workers with any clue how to do farm work.

On top of that the "do not lose faith" attitude and reporting to Mao: all is fine.

Same stupidity happened in Cambodia as Pol Pot was following the same mistakes and was not aware of the catastrophe in China.
