Both, based on IFW Kiel’s numbers. Military aid was about even until the end of Biden’s term, Europe generally provided a bit more non-military. The US sent a huge amount right at the end of Biden’s term. Since then, the US has sent basically nothing and Europe has mostly covered the shortfall

That price includes a whole bunch of stuff besides the actual tank. To quote the Czech Ministry of Defence (machine-translated):
The purchase price of 44 tanks includes self-propelled and anti-mine protection systems, as well as integrated logistics support including spare parts, support management, documentation and training.
So basically it’s 44 tanks plus a massive service and supply contract to keep the tanks running properly
I see this as even more reason to use my idea
I like the idea of pieons, from peon (which I promise I don’t mean derogatorily seeing as I’m not on piefed myself)
I think that this is more or less the approach I would take, but you shouldn’t worry about the actual diameter of anything. It’s not important, after all - if everything was scaled up twice as big, the answer would be the same. Just call the diameter of the cup a nice round number and then see how the hazelnuts compare to it. In this case I think there’s about five hazelnut widths to the glass, so I’m gonna call the glass diameter 50, the nuts 10, and the glass height 80.
You’ll need to change your formulae, though. pi*d is the circumference of a circle, but we need the area here, so pi*r*r (and then multiply by height for volume). That gives me 157,050 whateverunits cubed for the volume of the cup. For a sphere it’s (4/3)*pi*r*r*r, so 524 for the hazelnuts. Now, I know that spheres don’t pack perfectly into a volume, but I don’t remember the factor even for optimal packing, so I’m just gonna take a wild guess and say that 70% of the internal volume of the cup is actually occupied by hazelnuts. That gives me… 209 hazelnuts in the cup. Which seems worse than your answer on a gut level, but I can count 86 visible ones so it’s maybe actually not bad
Hah, I was way off too
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about all the hydrogen car experiments! There was even an actual functioning hydrogen bus system for a little while in a city not too far from me
Thanks for the link, that was interesting
It’s so bizarre to me that Toyota in particular isn’t a bigger player in the EV market after they were the first to get a mass market hybrid going. They were halfway there before anyone else, why’d they stumble so badly?

If I wanted to isolate myself from society altogether I’d probably already be doing that a lot more than I currently am. I keep to myself more than most, perhaps, but I’m not interested in becoming a recluse
I’m not saying “fled” is neutral, I’m saying it implies things that do not appear to be true based on what information is available. “Fled” implies that Alexandrovich returned to Israel against the will/efforts of American law enforcement, not that he was literally just let go (as appears to have happened)
“Back in Israel” is Ynet’s wording and the article is clear that it is reporting that. The Guardian’s own wording is consistently “released and returned to Israel”, which seems better than “fled” since it does not imply a lack of culpability of those releasing him
Hell the Ynet headline in your post doesn’t say anything about what Alexandrovich was questioned over
I’ve personally never been to Texas and it’s a long time since I went to Bavaria, but doesn’t that description of Munich vs the surrounding countryside more or less work for Houston vs the surrounding countryside?
I don’t think it’s even necessarily a left vs right political thing either, both regions also just have quite distinct and independent cultural traditions from the rest of the country
Well yeah, every map projection has to mis-represent something. In this case they’re arguing that presenting area is more important than presenting angles. Outside of long-distance travel on ships and planes, which are not using general-purpose world maps, nobody is navigating with a world map, so I think that they’re probably right here. It seems more important to me to understand the relative size of Africa to other landmasses than it is to know that the Korean peninsula is actually a few degrees off of being straight north of Borneo
They did. They are specifically advocating for the Equal Earth projection.
I personally think that Eckert IV is a little more visually pleasing while otherwise achieving all the same benefits as Equal Earth, but both are good
He already has been, the amount of money Lockheed Martin has missed out on due to countries turning away from the F-35 is eye-watering
