One common answer is the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center which is mainly one really tall room.

Oh yeah, gods forbid anyone plays a game that hasn't been sold legally for decades...

Ah alright, then they must have changed it since I last added a new app. The last few years I just published updates and they all went through almost immediately.

I doubt that. From what he said somewhere on Pixelfed, the beta is only on Android right now and you don't need approval to publish something on the Play Store. From personal experience, apps appear within a couple of minutes. On iOS, the usual approval time would be 3-4 days.

„Does chease_greater sometimes manage to not shit their pants?“. Doesn’t matter if you phrase it as „ever“ or „sometimes“. Either way you imply an expected norm.

The thing is that the way you phrase those questions sounds like you are seeking confirmation rather than clarification.

From a physics perspective, devices that create heat are by definition 100% efficient. Where else would the energy go than into heat?

I don’t want to be rude but the way you phrase your questions sounds a lot like you have a certain opinion about Russia and China that you want us to confirm.

I don’t think we have an expert on Russian and Chinese law here so all we can do is google stuff for you.

From the Wikipedia article it seems like at least Russia has a functional legal system (though one that works slightly differently from the ones we might be used to). The expectation that the government decides who is guilty regardless of the truth sounds like an exaggeration born out of an „us vs. them“ argument, similar to „democrats kill babies“. I‘m not an expert though, so don’t listen to me and instead look for independent sources.

Wikipedia has an article about this topic. In both China and Russia, the conviction rate is over 99% although this seems to be a quirk of the respective systems. In both countries, it seems to be common to dismiss a case (before or during a trial) when an acquittal is likely. For Russia this brings the overall conviction rate down to about 70-80% which is similar to the US. I‘m too lazy to find numbers for China but I’m sure if you follow the sources in the article you can get there.

For those who want the old tabs back: under settings -> appearance, you can set the ui density to compact (sorry, can't tell you the exact name, I have my system set to German)

That‘s the reason for elderly French pirate. The people involved didn’t just disappear because privateering ended.
