If you think it’s jarring to mix names from different languages with English keywords… well, I have bad news for you.

The language is entirely in English. Only the comments and values are in Portuguese.

You think that about math not being localized too?

Well, maybe not making everything with any set amount of lighting is better…

Accidents with small aircraft and near misses happen all the time. And yeah, you can see how the media report those more after a large accident.

The Boeing stuff doesn’t happen, at no frequency. They are a one-off. You can maybe point at Fokker, but they are an example of the normal situation, where a plane improves more slowly than the average and becomes dangerous by inertia.

It’s easy to check in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge:

The planet Earth has a rather slight equatorial bulge; its equatorial diameter is about 43 km (27 mi) greater than its polar diameter, with a difference of about 1⁄298 of the equatorial diameter.

It’s not something so outwordly small that people couldn’t do better, but it’s better than bearing balls or a spherographic pen tip. It’s way, way smaller than any deformation you will find in a game ball.

Oh, let’s be fair here…

He had to hire a guy to count lots and lots of steps too.

Unless you go in an advanced metrology laboratory, or look at Jupiter with a telescope, it’s the most spherical object you will ever see.

Well, when that finally happens the car will be fine, far away from Earth.

That “most likely no one is bothered” part is correct, though.

I dunno. I imagine he would be just as much pro-rebellion.

If they are Perl regexes, like all regexes are supposed to be, you can have non-semantic whitespace and comments.

But if you are using some system that enforces something different, you are out of luck.

Most of the energy does not come from fusion.

The majority of the energy comes from nuclear fission

Yes, from an extremely inefficient fission reaction that can be improved by an order of magnitude by doing it slowly in a reactor.

You either spend a truckload of resources during decades to make a bomb that explodes releasing the same energy humanity spends in two months, or you spend a truckload of resources doing the end task at a slower pace for decades.

The later is guaranteed to require a smaller truckload.

“Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe”

Well, he warns about it.

Well, I’m sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create…

But I’m not stopping that guy. Go on. I’ll just watch from a safe distance.

Hum… Did they change the name of the North-America’s South-West like the Mexico president requested too?

They have clear rules for contested areas… that they follow in an as clear way as their user support rules.

Except if you are a farmer, or accused of some crime, or depended on honest work to survive…

Or, in other words, yes, exactly!
