She certainly didn't...

The NASA Vehicle Assembly Building is also a contender.

I'm not sure how many dividing walls there are inside Everett, but the VAB is basically one massive empty skyscraper.

Converting between Kelvin and Celsius is simple addition; converting between Rankine and Fahrenheit is simple addition. Converting between the two groups requires multiplication, and pre calculator, that's notably harder.

Also, all your kJ/kg/°C or BTU/lb/°F tables and factors are identical when you swap to referencing absolute zero. If you change to the other unit system, all that goes out the window.

I feel dumber having read that.

Banning a whole country because you disliked a company?

Dealing with stuff that's 'almost working' is often harder than starting from scratch; ask any tradesperson.

They also apparently cannot get their heads around the fact that people might give you a discount if you advertise their brand. Ad-supported pricing has been around for a long time; it's not some voodoo.

The other scores seem to be more about inherent cursedness, not simply 'there is a far better option'.

I am very surprised that Rankine gets such a high cursedness score. Isn't it just the same as Kelvin but based on Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

NZ does that. More accurately, they email you to tell you that there's a letter available online - I don't think they send physical mail by default.

Then they pay any refund straight into your nominated bank account.

Agreed, but "I wouldn't let him past" sounds a lot like deliberate blocking.

Taking the lane shouldn't be necessary if there are actual bike lanes and you don't need to turn. This sounds like deliberately blocking traffic.

Most turbocharged engines need at least mid-grade due to the higher overall compression. Plenty of Toyotas with a turbo.

Requirements often depend on the type of building occupancy and the chance of fire spread to neighboring buildings.

I do feel that eating a Capri Sun with a fork seems like a better idea than installing a bulging battery in a phone.
