In the core2duo era I overclocked a cpu to 2.4GHz, and It killed the wifi in the computer similarly, it took a while to figure out why it was happening, and connect the 2 seemingly unrelated thing.

Microwave ovens also work in the 2.4 GHz range, at one flat my torrents basically stopped when my neighbor used their oven.

Tanks and jets also pose some amount of obstacle, and they may have a better roi.

Until the Helsinki Talllin tunnel is built it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

It doesn’t matter much, changing bogies is a relatively quick and easy task, they could use that money better for other defense development.

The Russian military recognized as early as 1841 that operations to disrupt railway track did not depend on the gauge, and should instead focus on destroying bridges and tunnels

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_ft_and_1520_mm_gauge_railways

Actually Russian gauge is not 1524mm, but 1520mm! Finland has unique gauge not used anywhere else in the World, although that 4mm difference allows most bogies to be compatible with both of them, international trains can run through the border without bogie exchange.

So the point of the article is right, butnot perfect in details. I love trains.

I write in English because most of you can read only that. We can continue the conversation in Hungarian if you would like that better. I also know basic German, and I learned a bit of Latin, Italian and Russian in school, you can choose from that if you have some problem with my English spelling.

What if he just asked something so unhinged or stupid the pope couldn’t bare bear it anymore.

Well, if Mr. F. Sense would buy some shares we would consider his wishes

An american court ruled about the Hippos in Columbia, so it 's just theoretical:

“The ruling has no impact in Colombia because they only have an impact within their own territories. It will be the Colombian authorities who decide what to do with the hippos and not the American ones,” said Camilo Burbano Cifuentes, a criminal law professor at the Universidad Externado de Colombia.

Article from 2021:

There are 170 hippos in Columbia, they are all descendants of the 4 animals Escobar brought there in the 1970s. Their number will reach 1000 in 2035 if they can’t find a solution. They are trying to sterilize them, and transporting them to mexico and india, more info about current efforts on wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamuses_in_Colombia

Me too, but later I learned a bit of german and latin. The thing is you can fake english easily, like “why use lot word when few do trick” is a totally understandable sentence. Word order is not as stict as in german, no cases, no grammatical genders, verb tenses are mostly optional. Pronunciation is messed up though.

English is a global lingua franca, not just european. And it’s not just because of the american and british influence, but because it’s a relatively easy language.

Also the translator programs are better and better, this is actually a good and fitting usecase of current LLMs. I think we are not far away from the babel fish.

The first 3 characters of barcodes means the country of origin.It won’t tell the nationality of the owner of the factory, but you can see where it was packaged, if there are no other clues it can help. Here is the full list. Basically if the first number is 0, 1 or 2, there is a big chance it’s from the us.

Fico from Slovakia. Before that the Pis from Poland. Article 7 is invoked by the council, not the parliament. Nothing will happen again…

It’s short range car rental, and they have a lot of different models from different manufacturers, so you can’t even know which one you will ride next tine. Open the app, see where is the closest car and what it’s type. Book the car than you have 30 minutes to reach the car and start your trip. That’s not enough time to look up manuals.

Yeah, I don’t know what is the correct English term for that thingies. As it was a rental car maybe the seat was not at the perfect height, I usually just move the the seat back and forth, you don’t start to change it vertically just for a 15 minute ride.

I looked it up as as I typed it sounded too stupid to me. It was a 2024 Clio. It doesn’t have a knob, but it has a separate control rod below the steering wheel on the bottom right side, and that has volume buttons. According to the car sharing app I drove it for 15 minutes, and I remember I was looking for that and couldn’t find it. Is it possible it’s not a standard feature, and they didn’t have it in that car? Or it just placed so badly that you can’t see it from the drivers position?

At least you had a volume knob. Last week I drove a new Renault Clio via local carsharing, and it had a touchscreen, where you had to click a button on the screen to pop up a slider next to it, where you could change the volume. It had like 5 buttons on the steering wheel, some of them even looked like they could be used for controlling the volume, but no, they were for cruise control or whatever, the only way to change the volume was via the touchscreen with two taps.

On the source there is a table with the percentages, so the creator of the map had that data but they choose to display this nonsense instead:

I can reassure you that in Hungary not just the perception increased. Also it’s a bit strange here, it’s a captured state, so on paper no corruption happens, everything is legal, they can just create a new laws overnight, Orbán rules by decree since 2016.

Hungary First! Again! We won! Usually we win at this and the suicide statistics, nowadays our inflation is also world class again as after ww2.

In a lot of countries whatsapp is the defacto IM, but I live in a country where facebook messenger and viber became the standard for some reason. I guess they measured how much citizen they can reach on each platform and selected messenger based on that data.

This is not for MEPs to message each other, not the recommendation by the Comission, this site is for ordinary citizens to get information. I think the biggest problem is why only facebook messenger?I would expect other similar platforms there, like whatsapp, viber, telegram or imessage.
