Not sure the point of your comment. The article uses that word, or ither forms of it a bunch, they are not shying away from it.
An immigrant is someone who moves TO a country. An emmigrant is someone who moves FROM a country. These are both permanent moves (or intended to be).
An expat is someone who LIVES in another country. Formally it means temporarily but I've seen it colloquially used for both temp and permanent.
So "US expats in New Zealand" is precise and inclusive whereas "immigrant" means people from any country who moved permanently. Imprecise and non inclusive.
When you push something you push the atoms in the thing. This in turn pushes the adjacent atoms, when push the adjacent atoms all the way down the line. Very much like pushing water in the bathtub, it ripples down the line.
The speed at which atoms propogate this ripple is the speed of sound.
In air this is roughly 700mph, but as the substance gets harder* it gets faster. For example, aluminum and steel it is about 11,000mph.
That's why there's a movie trope about putting your ear to the railroad line to hear the train.
If you are talking about something magically hard then I suppose the speed of sound in that material could approach the speed of light, but still not surpass it. Nothing with mass may travel the speed of light, not even an electron, let alone nuclei.
I didn't know they had inport taxes on desktops. Thanks for the heads up.
In my experience, typically import taxes are there to try and encourage buying local. Does New Zealand manufacturer their own electronics, or is this import tax just a way to levy money? Or is it to reduce environmental impact?
I remember connecting to private World of Warcraft servers back in the day and even hosted one for just me and my partner.
Anyone know if it would be technically possible do this for RuneScape?
When I went to malls as a teenager I would often get stopped and searched as if I was shoplifting. Was over 6' at 16 and often wore hoodies. When I started getting into cross-dressing I was too ashamed to go through checkout with it. So I dressed in nicer clothes then hoodie and jeans, and shoplifted women's clothing from every clothing store that ever stopped and searched me incorrectly previously. Part shame part revenge part kink.
Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn't need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.
I'm of the unpopular opinion that India/Pakistan should be its own continent and New Zealand should be different continent then Australia. Both because they are different techtonic plates.
Engineer here: mostly use i, but have seen j used plenty. First time I saw j used was by a maths professor.
