Not sure why you waited 8 days to respond to a comment, and your response is a bit of a non-sequitur. That said.. I was simply stating you can perform banking without a phone. You can check your email (or do your…
I was responding someone comparing nuclear to natural gas. Comparing to renewables is a different story - it can be done but it's much more complex (not dispatchable, seasonally variable) but certainly renewables likely…
Certainly you can use those, but they're not mandatory (here in Canada at least). Can easily get a card and use physical bank and ATM to do everything, and website logins use email as 2fa.
I'd note that south or southeast would work, even southwest might. But East would clearly lead to the Netherlands. (they may also eat better bread there too, I wouldn't know)
I would note that the population increase 2008-present in the EU (340M to 350M) is much lower than the US (305M to 345M), which could account for a rather significant difference too. I don't think either of these is a…

Yup, exactly - which is what makes the regulated descriptors (eg "juice") so important!

If it brings you moral discomfort, why do you shop at whole foods? Shopping at Walmart (or whole foods!) would also bring me moral discomfort, so I just ...don't do it.

Yes, doubling then subtracting 10% of the resultant works because that is the same as multiplying by 1.8 :) When going the other way and dividing, I similarly find it mentally easier to multiply by 10/18 (rather than…
No need to simplify this. (F - 32) / 1.8 = C C * 1.8 + 32 = F I personally find the math just as easy to do accurately. For example, 87F -32/1.8 = 55/1.8 =~30.5C. Compare that to your approximate method, which would…

Correct - where I am it is cheaper most of the year, a bit more expensive in the winter.
You have an inbuilt assumption about the purpose of a street name. Compare it with addresses in Japan [1], where some streets don't even have names. I don't know anything about Pakistan, but i wouldn't be surprised if…

Knowing the average of 108 W wouldn't help with knowing your peak demand, as fridges vary significantly from off to startup to running, so knowing the average isn't useful in that situation either.
Aside from desiring a longer battery life, you'll likely be shocked to hear that some of us (non-iphone users) still use the Aux jack and the SD card slot too!
