No, the island is already within the territorial waters, it doesn't noticeably expand it.

Uh, doesn't it extend it the entire size of Orkney plus another 12 nm?

Oh, that's what happened to you! I wondered where that came from.

My dad, in later life, was a business/economics professor. I received a kitchen table education in economics from him. He & I would talk for hours and hours, sometimes to the annoyance of other family members.

There was no physics in that. It was 10 minutes of incoherent rambling.

How do people find this convincing? Is it a new fashion?

That's not an error, it's what 5 Guys advertise. It's the number of combinations for their toppings.

That sounds like an error to me. "Number of toppings" is not the same as "Number of possible combinations of toppings".

2^20

Does order of toppings matter?

yes, only a monster would put the pickles underneath the tomato

I've read worse. Better than Dan Brown!

that bar is subterranean, haha

And none of that is for feeding starving people who have no food.

It's all to grow profitable luxury food.

People starving come from parts for the world affected by global warming, which unsustainable farming is one of the reasons. Which, in turn, crates mass migration issues. Which, in turn, is a major reason behind massive shift of Overton window and the current world situation we're in.

Every country that has a problem with starvation has huge population growth.

They have at least 2.5% population growth yearly which translates to doubling population in 28 years, while some have as high as 4.5% which means they double every 15-16 years.

If a population has a food problem, why does it double every 15 years?

I don't know which one is worse: to grow soybeans to feed cattle or to use as biodiesel.

What is really upsetting, the speed with which jundles are replaced with oil palm.

Humans have mastered exploitation of everything: the nature, the livestock and other humans.

You appear to have benchmarked how quickly Python can access memory vs how quickly Python can open and close a socket. I'm not sure the DBs were required in any way.

You should really have posed that as a "I don't know anything about this so I'm confused" question.

> Gamma rays are just energetic photos

They are indeed. The average planet busting Gamma Ray Burst is just a Vogon trying to "get the whole family in".

I would think that lighting a Vogon family picture would be about as advisable as recording a Vogon speech. That is to say not at all.

Windows power users are the ones who have the greatest difficulty switching.

Basic users just want a web browser and need instructions for anything else anyway.

Hardcore geeks have tried everything going and have no problems with Cisco IOS.

It's the folk in the middle who struggle.

Just kidding about Cisco: it sucks.
