I got to drive one of these in Japan earlier this year in a controlled environment (no international license)... it had some really nice tech that I wish my car would have in the US, fantastic fuel efficiency, decently comfortable, and under 10kUSD.

But I absolutely would NOT want to drive it in the US. Based on my experience when I was being driven around, the highways in Japan move at like 50MPH. I wouldn't want to be in a collision with another vehicle of the same class at those speeds in a vehicle like that, forget about something built to US spec which is probably at least 50% greater in mass, and moving at my US typical highway speeds of 75MPH+.

'Per unit volume' is used all the time in cases where the exact unit doesn't matter, other than it being volumetric. 15,000 raindrops per cubic meter, 120 raindrops per cup, etc. Outside of my field, I think the most I've ever seen that term used is to define density: "Mass per unit volume".

As far as the first point goes: Try envisioning a horizontal rectangle with a constant amount of dots in it, where the dots move downward from the top at a constant rate at a random point along the x-axis, with a bar sweeping across the rectangle. Over repeated trials, the bar will touch the same amount of dots regardless of how fast it sweeps across the rectangle, but the odds of a dot spawning right on the bar (rain landing on your head) is decreased at higher speeds.

How well this holds up in non-theoretical cases is a different story, like rain coming in at an angle while hunched? Which side of you getting wet is a consideration too.

Based on other articles about the same museum... it's a unisex bathroom, and the bathroom itself is part of the Gucci exhibition.

Can't speak for now, but last year I got about 3%APY on USDC on one exchange... that was just icing on the cake that was 4% unlimited cashback on their debit card though.

The state of things sure was different just a few years prior-- I remember in 1998, one of my friends emailed Epic MegaGames about something similar to that for the original Unreal because he had the money but nobody would sell such violent, mindwarping stuff to young'uns...

And he got back a message threatening legal action about the distribution of unauthorized copies.

They do. Peak hours is about 55c/kWh, up from 33c or so, which is why I've started going to the library in the afternoons.

Sounds like a case for https://rentahitman.com/ !

(Note: It's a legit site... sorta. Just looks bad to have in your history.)

Prices shift pretty rapidly depending on the market-- there was a case a few years ago where somebody offered a hitman ~250k to kill a business rival...

Who outsourced it to another hitman.

Who outsourced it to another hitman.

Who outsourced it to another hitman.

Who outsourced it to another hitman, for around 15k. They contacted the target and came to some kind of a deal where the target would supply photos faking their death and lie low for a bit. The target eventually contacted the police, and all 5+1 people involved got arrested.

There are already Starlink installations in operation at sea (officially in testing), though a full size monster cruise ship is a slightly different beast than a small catamaran.

I'd add a fourth one: Supplying negotiating ammo to the buyer.

I work in the field in California, and have seen the most BS stuff in inspection reports... my favorite one was that the oven was broken and would only go up to 288 degrees. The buyers demanded 5k off to replace the oven, using the inspection report as evidence that the unit had fundamental flaws that the seller was hiding.

288C is 550F.

It really depends on how they're rated, but... not really. It hearkens back to median vs mode.

For example, 40 meetings are 5/5, 10 meetings are 0/5, for an average meeting score of 4/5. As such, 1/5 of the meetings are below 4/5.

I've had actual real estate financing contracts act like this before. In that case, we, an entity in the middle, took a fraction of a percentage cut to act similarly to escrow, but if something happened to the transaction later on down the line, we could be held legally liable because we're the immediate transactor of record.

It depends on the company, but much like a traditional bank, they're continuing to do things with the assets while they're deposited. While I agree that 7% interest on stablecoins feels uncomfortably high (one site I was looking at was offering 11%APR on USDC for deposits that are locked in for minimum of seven days), they also do loans at competitive interest rates, but require a lot of collateral, that I suspect is part of the greater plan... I know multiple people who've taken out loans at 0-5%APR to go (physical casino) gambling. And, as expected, it blew up in their face and they don't the money to pay it back, so the remaining half to two thirds of their bitcoin is probably going to be forfeit to the company for !!PROFIT!!.

Sort of. They have a function to share non-concurrent access to an account's contents. Which, in my experience, people tend to want to access the account at the same time, or play multiplayer without multiple copies, which rather diminishes its utility.

Excessive violence, depictions of satanic and occult themes, and generally being too scary for its target audience (preteen/early teen). ...Frankly, I don't even remember any notable violence happening on-page.
