Not that the skin tone matters much but you’ve obviously never been to northern Italy.

You keep repeating the claim that Romeo was not of similar age as Juliet yet there is no evidence for it.

I took the time to google the claim and it’s bullshit.

One of the source materials of Shakespeare mentions his soft skin and lack of facial hair which would mean he’s younger than 15.

I would stick with the original play: Shakespeare died not mention his age but he is acting less mature than Juliet.

Do you have any source whatsoever backing your claim Shakespeares Romeo was not of similar age as Juliet?

According to Wikipedia it’s weight:

US regulation FMVSS 208 requires that bags be engineered and calibrated to be able to "save" the life of an unbelted 50th-percentile size and weight "male" dummy.

Assuming the regulation in the EU is similar and given that US average weight/BMI is higher than European average US airbags need to be bigger.

My situation was similar a couple of weeks ago. I had to either buy a new car or dump a couple of thousands on my then car (which is still good for at least a decade).

I did test drive a Tesla though as to have a ‘baseline’ for the other contenders. I did buy a different electric car just as planned but I’m glad I did the baseline.

BTW - just a heads up: make sure you check the headroom on the back seats of any EV you fancy. I might have bought a Kia EV6 if I didn’t bump my head in the ceiling in the back - and I’m of average height.

You’ll have a touch screen either way and it’s possible that the functions of the buttons are available on some app too.

Just as basically all cars except current Teslas do.

I think the EU would be doing Tesla a favor if they force them to add physical controls to switch between D, R, N, P.

Edit: The current Tesla Model 3 should comply with the new rule (not 100% sure about hazard lights).

1. Just think about the logistics involved ensuring the correct airbag is slotted. You don’t want to be sued in the US because someone got hurt or killed because the airbag was not up to spec. The damage to the brand would be bad too. Any way, it’s not as simple as just plugging in one thing or the other.
2. You could absolutely have the same wiring on both versions and just slot in different front ends (button/buttonless). I recall a couple of cases for that as well - e.g. wiring for a (DAB) antenna that is not in every version of the car or hard drives where the capacity is defined by the firmware (though having identical hardware)

I’m afraid they won’t. When I was a Student I had a summer job at Mercedes assembling cars. At the time cars sent to the US needed bigger airbags - you’d think it’d be less error prone at negligible extra cost to just equip all cars with the bigger airbags but they didn’t.

If they can save a couple of cents by having less buttons they’ll have less buttons.

I like the idea of a register a lot.

Do you also talk about it though? I was in Denmark on business for a couple of weeks and I don’t recall there being a discussion about it.

In my country I’m only aware of statistics published by a newspaper (source may be statista, some agency or a job portal). I find the values weird however as I earn way above the stated value for my general description. I’m in a bit of a niche however so that might work to my benefit. The statistics still feel like ‘expectation management’ to me though.

Not denying that it’s legal and beneficial to discuss that. It’s unfortunately not common (yet?).

Pretty disarming for unsuspecting foreigners.

That would indeed be a WTF moment for me.

In what countries is it custom to openly discuss salary? In Germany and most if not all countries I’ve been to professionally it is not the norm. This is of course bad for transparency/employees and good for employers.

I was replying to a (now gone) post on how Kelvin is for science, Fahrenheit for humans ,and Celsius is useless. It should give a perspective how to get from Kelvin to Celsius, not give a wildly off-topic history lesson.

You put a normal Celsius thermometer next to it and apply maths.

Is there a difference between 19, 20, and 21 Celsius?

Yes, as anyone that’s ever worked in an office can tell you.

Edit: Apparently I was expecting too much cognitive ability / common knowledge so let me be clearer: Generally women prefer it warmer (>20), men like it cooler (<20). It’s a very common office discussion.

No, it just moves the zero point, no ratio change: 0°C = 273,15 K / just a simple addition/subtraction.

Colloquially you can also ignore the 0,15 and make it even simpler.

Did it never occur to you that Celsius is basically Kelvin with the zero point moved to human reference?

Human reference because >50% of our body is water. We are essentially water bags.
