unlikely because most of the mess revolved around the failure to properly break down the ottoman empire back after WW1 which left any minority group in the region victims of future problems over the past century. if it didnt happen back then, its unlikely to happen now.

the idea is that cops are already more spread out, so if very basic levels of CPR or first aid is necessary, they could provide it as a first tier of a support.

budget cars in a nutshel are not practical for long range, which is why theres no demand for it in the US. range is one of the biggest reasons why car companies dont sell new EVs for under 30k for the most part. buyers are too picky about what they want in a budget car so the sales flounder and people wonder why no company even attempts to.

personally people buying budget evs need to either wait for better infrastructure, or be the practical person and rent a vehicle for long distance travel.

people are essentially asking for a car that basically cant exist to exist, hence the real situation is why wpuld someone buy a budget new car when you can buy a used premium car

i do agree, they should be let in just that dont expect those prices. in order to keep a price low they need the supply chain at a local factory in order to match said price, as well as adhere to the saftey standards for vehicles in said country (they arent the same globally). even in countries that has a BYD factory like Thailand do not get the low end prices that you basically only see in China. While id like the doors open, just keep in mind the vehicles sit closer to 17-22k pre local changes and built fully in said country.

she was born into it because iirc her parents are one, and its less of a story of her converting to one.

my opinion is that of course, theres basically no replacing Chester, but as a group they need to leverage what she can do and hopefully push out a banger. Need to not look at the past too long and look ahead

American car manufacturers refuse to fill the market need.

keep in mind, at the around 15-25k price, you run into the problem Vinfast has when they introduced themselves to the U.S market. What would an informed buyer rather do: buy a cheap new vehicle or a used premium vehicle. Chevy* backed out of making yearly bolts because demand wasnt high enough, despite the 7500 rebate would bring it down to 22k

theyre using pagers because they were told cellphones could compromise their security.

in the medical field you have sort of two opposing forces:

there’s a severe lack of personnel, because personnel is very hard to train, and its not practical for doctors to train a bunch of people simultaneously.

Governments want them to train more, but the consequence of training more is you get sloppier work, and all the doctors pay will decrease because theyd essentially be training their competition/replacements.

Given the fact that the medical field is one of the hardest fields to enter (and one of the costliest ones), existing doctors have much more to lose if there is a flood of new workers. Doctors on a reletive scale are overworked and underpaid, and adding more staff would address the overworked part, but doesn’t fixed the underpaid part. Given that South Korea has a socialized health care, it’s virtually a matter of the government willing to pay more for doctors or not

edit: I should preface, by underpaid, its not how much they get paid once they finish all their trianing (which is a lot, almost 4x the average). it’s just that while doctors are going through the intern status, they get paid peanuts(basically country average) while working (an illegal) amount of time, so the journey up to becoming a full fledged doctor is basically work slavery. It’s in a very similar boat to like trade school apprenticeship (where you start off with destitute pay) but gradually gets better and you get options for more hours. the only difference is doctors have that mandatory almost decade year of training while trade jobs start work almost instantly.

the idea of it improving battery is that generating frames is less performance intensive than running a certain framerate (e.g 60 fps capped game with frame gen at double the framerate consumes less power than running the same game at 120 fps). though its slightly less practical because frame generation only makes sense when the base framerate is high enough (ideally above 60) to avoid a lot of screen artifacting. So in practical use, this only makes sense to “save battery” in the context that you have a 120hz+ screen and choose to cap framerate to 60-75fps.

If one is serious about minmaxing battery to performance in a realistic value, people should have the screen cap at 40 hz, as it has half of the input latency between 30 and 60 fps, but only requires 10 more fps than 30 which is a very realistic performance target for maintaining a minimum on handheld.

my domain is my media server, so id rather not end my domain.

the advtage the steam system has is first the bought game/gifted game situation, as well as the more important factor, the recent opinion score, as at amy given momemt a game can get good because of a major change (e. g payday 2 reverting all the pay 2 win content the original publisher mandated) or gone to shit because of greed or a bad patch.

the problem users have is finding a curator that has a similar taste in games that they do. If I was a fan of JRPGs, im not going to care about the opinion on some person who doesnt really play jrpgs. at the same time, if you like some niche genre, to the general public, that niche is always less popular, so itll get worse ratings thanit should compared to people who enjoy said niche.

itll more likely go into the XeSS route with alternative code path

Aldi Nord controlled stores in the US are Trader Joes, Aldi Sud stores in the US are just Aldi

basically how i see it with delivery trucks, you need a few things.

heated/air vented seats for driver comfort along with AC.

easy access to the back of the truck

as well as room to stand in the truck, because the driver is going to have to constantly get in and out of the driver seat, so being able to get out easier/faster is good.

to me, Mortal Kombat goes under the “Soo bad its good” category.

while I personally don’t like when people use clout for things like this, some people don’t realize how big politically she can be. She outright had governments fighting for show exclusivity just so she would choose their country for people to travel to. Her influences has whole damn governments fighting each other.

also in the article:

According to reports from China’s Huashang Daily and National Business Daily newspapers at the weekend, one five-star hotel in Hangzhou had banned electric vehicles from the basement parking lot, citing recent cases in which they have started fires.

“Based on the characteristics of electric vehicle fires and our hotel’s firefighting capabilities, we think it safer not to allow them into the underground garage,” the papers quoted the hotel’s security manager as saying.

basically market has always shown convenience often trumps ownership, music streaming, video streaming, games now. ownership is the vocal minority

the problem is the covid supply chain ended a while ago and console sales havent drastically picked up since then. the PS5 has been orderable direct from sony for quite a long while now, and shortly after in stores. physical game sales (something console users champion, has gone way down (according to sony, only 30% of the sales are physical now)

its moreso that EV firefighting is a bit different than gas vehicles. if an EV fire pops up in an heavily enclosed area (e.g underground parking lot), its be significantly harder to put it out. basically EV parking will likely be banned in these areas until Liion batteries get replaced by salt ion, solid state or alternative battery that is not flammable.
