Looks like those are crisps and not chips.

Crisps could theoretically be made from fries, chips cannot.

In order to be a chip, it literally has be a “chip” of a potato.

Crisps can be made from anything.

No, dinosaurs can’t fly.

Flying 'saurs are “pterosaurs”

I doubt they do it just to scare employees. It’s way too expensive to use this tactic without having any real savings to show.

It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring? The explanation that it supposedly keeps employees in check seems like something HR would say to justify their own purpose.

Any (reasonable) CEO would absolutely take thee easy and actual savings of firing the HR instead of paying them to use this unproven pseudo-tactic.

Pop() one lever from each set.

ORLY?

Please take your evening off to explain to the common man how electrons are distributed without restoring to quantisation.

It is exactly that though.

Irrationel and rational numbers are both real.

Quantum physics is limited to the quantum, hence the name.

Come on then, enlighten the average Joe.

Let’s have a look.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

In mathematics, the irrational numbers (in- + rational) are all the real numbers that are not rational numbers. That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is an irrational number, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning that they share no “measure” in common, that is, there is no length (“the measure”), no matter how short, that could be used to express the lengths of both of the two given segments as integer multiples of itself.

Quantum systems have bound states that are quantized to discrete values of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other quantities, in contrast to classical systems where these quantities can be measured continuously.

The conclusion is wrong, i agree. That’s the joke of the meme.

(Keep down voting if it matters to you. I’m only trying to explain a joke. The top post is in agreement with my statement.)

The definition of irrational numbers is that they are the real numbers that are not rationel. So we need to look at the definition of real numbers. A real number is a number that can be used to measure a continuous one dimensional quantity.

Quantum physics says that reality is not continuous. Particles make “discrete” jumps instead of moving continuously. So irrational numbers can’t exist.

But that’s imaginary numbers, not irrational numbers.

The issue between quantum physics and irrational numbers is different than the use of imaginary numbers: Irrational numbers have infinite decimals, while quantum physics is quantized.

I already read the article. I chose to comment on the title, because it is misleading.

Title says Europe, not EU.

The take from the title that Germany and Italy tops the statistic for Europe is still (partly) true. UK is still slightly worse than Italy.

By capita it’s Luxembourg, Estonia and Iceland, but only due to low population. Their totals are pretty far down the lists.

These are in addition to the existing 10% car tariff.

Also keep in mind that there are large car registration taxes and VAT in Europe. While this applies to all cars imported or not, it does increase the difference in net price.

Just adding: Wikipedia has a nice article including a map showing the current status of when countries plan to phase out fossil fuel vehicles. It also has a section on which manufacturers have pledged to do so.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles

Long term politics seem to be a really good strategy for this. Notice how USA is marked as green, even if its only some states who have agreed to do so, and some countries are just grey. However, this is fine, because the manufacturers will still need to make the switch long beforehand in order to keep selling vehicles worldwide.

Just for the record: Some cars from BMW, Dacia, Renault and Tesla are also imported from China and will get a 21% tariff as well. Probably lots of other brands as well.

It will be interesting to see if they will attempt to pull production back home.

VW seems to have an advantage by already going into fully domestic production, but they still need to prove that they can match the pricing.

They’re different because corruption (and in turkey: religion) was already present to such a degree that an actual democracy never happened.

Stupid thing is that it’s locally so cold that I had to turn the heat back on last week after having it off for two months. Just a few weeks back I had to bring the fans down from the attic to stay cool. Shit is just weird. This summer is going to be fucked. There’s also not the usual pollen or insects.

Anyway, if you’re interested in visiting Denmark as a tourist, I can currently only recommend mid May or early September. The remaining 47 weeks of the year are “normal” 10°c and windy rain regardless of seasons.

The court hearing just ended. The attacker was a Polish guy who was blackout intoxicated by alcohol and drugs during the incident. He is known by local police from previous episodes in which he has been mentally “unhinged”. He does not recall the episode other than being positively thrilled to meet the prime minister. He was ashamed of his actions.

So, no political or personal motivation, just a local loony.

He will now be put in pre-trial detention for 12 days.

None of those countries are good representations of where democracy is heading…
