Do all Europeans choose to purposefully misinterpret information that is actually very easy to understand based on context?

Yeah but if we all wrote "joules per second" instead of watts we'd encourage everyone to measure energy in joules instead of watt-hours. It's like speed, we don't need an entirely separate unit that just means m/s

Or just joules per second for power. Eliminate watts entirely. Dumbass unit

not as great as his dad vomiting on the prime minister of Japan though

Hills are depth. They add character to any place for free. Oh you don't like where you are right now? Just go up

Here's an interesting write-up about an attempt to develop a large-scale urban maglev system in the 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krauss-Maffei_Transurban

tl;dr: there were so many technical issues that when the West German company developing the tech lost funding and the Ontario government took over the project, they immediately abandoned the maglev concept and replaced it with linear-induction propulsion with steel wheels on rails (the mag, without the lev).

Even this tech, which does have a few advantages over conventional rail and is still used today in cities like Vancouver, is falling out of favour due to general logistical issues with using bespoke technology over conventional rail -- fewer people know how to build and maintain it, you're relying on usually just one company to supply your trains and infrastructure until the end of time, you can't reuse any existing infrastructure, etc. I'd imagine these issues still get in the way of maglev development today -- even more so because you can't even reuse existing rails

I do this but it's a pain in the ass. They keep making it harder to access certain features without opening Android Studio (i.e. the AVD manager, logcat, app signing functionality, etc)

Also sometimes gradlew decides to just not build your project and you have to open Android Studio to get it to work. Why? No idea

I don't even use low power hardware, Android Studio just manages to be an incredible resource hog even on normal hardware

We should decrease their property values though. That's half the problem

Not really the same thing at all if there's no handwriting support.
