Depending on how badly you stub your toe, everyone in the house or (where applicable) neighboring apartments may be woke.
You pretty much have to use the middle button, because they've made the scrollbars so small they're difficult to hit.
The ones I hate are the smug Google IT! answers. I did Google it, but all of the results pointed to people smugly replying that I should google it!.
Last time I checked supertankers are not very useful on roads.
You seem confused. The GP was talking about a claim that the range reduces to 200 miles when there is a trailer and cargo. Which is bogus.
Your like is just a confirmation by Grok that 833 of these plugged in at once will use all the power of a typical nuclear reactor which I suspect he agrees with.
If for some reason the computer can't do this, the foreman or a helper can get in the truck and drive it to the correct location manually. Or (more likely imho) some kid in Korea will drive it remotely. In any case, the long-distance trucker is out of a job.
No, I'm not. I'm actually (slightly) strengthening the claim.
Originally I considered that he was the (nominal) head of state was significant. I removed that requirement, which makes the claim stronger. I will say that removing the head of state, whether or not valid, is a more extreme action, but even removing a resident by force is not legally justifiable.
More drag means their orbits will decay faster if they become inert junk.
But that's totally irrelevant. That he was a resident of Venezuela is sufficient to say that foreign governments have no right to arrest hime for acts committed within Venezuela. That he's the (perhaps) nominal head of state is just a cherry on top of the illegality.
There is no accepted legal principle that would allow the US to prosecute the head of a foreign country for acts in that country. That Venezuela might have grounds for the prosecution is irrelevant.
What is is, is a claim that "might makes right". It has no other real basis.
You give Trump too much credit. He is for sale to anyone with money. That a company isn't a US company would mean nothing to him, except as a talking point.
It goes beyond the clock though. It's all analog displays (or digital simulations of analog displays, for that matter). They don't just give you a reading, they convey some since of the rate and help put the measurement into proportion with the scale of the display (which, when well designed is highly useful information).
Consider a dipstick (the one under the hood, not the one seated next to you). You're low on oil, but are you OMG pull into that convieniance store and get some oil now, just top it off when you get home, or you're getting an oil change in 2 weeks, it'll be fine. A quick glance will tell you, IF you can read an analog scale.
Alas, how are they to know when the minute has passed?
If only that round thing on the wall could talk...
Calculation are done with a different system, a slower system, than is normal time recognition on an analog clock.
FWIW, I have no trouble reading an analog clock, but I strongly dislike using polar coordinates, even while I recognize that in some situations they are valuable. They aren't the same skill.
