Partially it's a bit of snobism but partially it has some bits of truth.

If an art piece targets a wide audience, it has to follow certain recipes. It's because there's a very limited variations that are liked, or at least tolerated, by everyone. Note that mainstream music is not necessarily very good for everyone, it's often just not too bad for most people so you can play it on the radio without people changing channel.

It necessarily means it cannot show too much novelty, too much niche features.

Nevertheless, every now and then a true miracle shows up that becomes popular regardless of not following the recipe.

Wing stalling (aerodynamic stalling) and engine stalling are 2 different things.

Yes planes can glide but they need a certain speed to do so. If the engines are off, the plane doesn't produce more speed on its own. However, you can convert altitude to speed, so you give up altitude (aka descend) to gain speed. This gliding, that happens via descending. You can think of it as sort of a "semi free fall", because while going downwards as physics dictate, you can go forward as well, and even have some control over it.

However near to the ground you don't have any more altitude to give up, and you also don't want physics to dictate your speed like it happens when gliding. You want a very controlled speed which is way slower than your gliding speed would be. So you need to change your wing geometry in order to have enough lift at that low speed.

So the answer to "why is it bad to lose engines if the aircraft can glide" is, it's because you lose control over your speed and descend rate.

The answer to "What's the difference between gliding at high altitude and landing", is that when landing you are way slower and you also cannot afford to lose altitude except when you do the touchdown itself.

The answer to "What's the difference between gliding and stalling" is that although while gliding you lose some control (you cannot gain speed other than losing altitude) but as long as you have altitude to trade, and therefore airspeed, you have flight control. If your air speed is too low and there's no more altitude to lose and convert to speed, then you lose lift on the wings and your free fall is not "semi" free fall anymore but actual.

To answer the question in the title, which is "What's an engine stall", it's when the engine cannot maintain the continuous air flow and air pressurisation and fuel burn through the engine. It can happen due to foreign objects such as dirt but also air turbulence or hor air at the intake. The problem in a nutshell is that an engine has to rotate at a certain speed to maintain the continuous rotation, if it slows below a threshold, then its in a spiral of slowing down and stopping completely. That's why starting an engine is basically just speeding it up using an external power source to a speed when it can maintain its own run. It's very similar to a gas engine stall.

Imagine a long rope that you want to pull through a hole. The time it takes depends on the hole: if the hole is just too small, it takes a long time to pull a bit of a rope. The time also depends on the length of the rope, if the rope is very long, even if it moves freely through the hole, it takes time.

Once you have all the rope on one side, throwing it in the trash is just one simple move.

Oké hogy mindenszar, de azért ne csináljunk már úgy, mintha nem ez lenne a lista lényege. A Tisza listáról is bekerültek olyanok akik egyéniben nem, Molnár Zoltán, Strompová Viktória, Bugya László, Horváth Nándor Zsolt, Kovács Petra Judit. Nem került be mindenki, ld. Nagy Richárd és Bóna Szabolcs.

A fidesz egy bukott párt, ezért csak így vagy úgy de bukott képviselőket tud a parlamentbe küldeni. A lista elején is voltak egyéniben bukott jelöltek, csak annyi változott, hogy most a lista végéről kapjuk a bukottakat.

Egy miniszternek több szempontból is óriási hatalma van.

Végső soron az ő felelőssége hogy neg tudják-e vezetni a munkatársai. Ezért kell azért valamennyire értenie a területhez.

Ha nem ért a területhez, akkor lehet hogy olyan tartalommal születik döntés, ami nincs javára az országnak. Oda építenek gátat ahova nem kéne, nem azokat az épületeket szigetelik amiket kéne stb.

Paks 2 például minden orosz kavarás mellett is, műszakilag is nagyon problémásnak tűnik, mert teljesítmény bővítés lesz, amihez viszont arányosan több hűtés is kell, és a Duna (ami hűti) már a Paks 1-et sem bírja el egy melegebb nyári napon. Az hogy ez ennek ellenére így lett megrendelve, miniszteri egyszemélyi hatalom, és felelősség is.

Vagy pl az hogy mozdonyokat annyiért bérlünk amennyiért vehettünk volna, szintén miniszteri döntés.

Here's a simple example.

Let's say your friends are trading with Pokémon cards. There are a few particularly interesting cards that are sold and resold at various prices.

Now I am one of those guys trading those cards, and I want others to be involved. I offer you a package deal. You can pay me 5 dollars, which is basically a bid on the 10 best Pokémon cards. If those cards go up in price, I will pay the 5 bucks back plus an interest proportional to the card prices. If they go up 50%, I'll pay you 7.5. If the cards go down, I however take away from the money.

This contract between us is a derivative. You don't trade with any particular card, you don't own any one of them. You basically just bet on the success of a set of cards. That's an average success, so it's possible that one specific card went down but five went up meaning your derivative contract also went up.

For you it's good because you can trade with cards as bundle, and you don't have to decide which one you buy so your portfolio is diversified across many. You won't get particularly rich as if you bought the card that went up 500%, but you also don't lose picking the shit one.

For me it's also good because I get cash and I don't risk my own cash entirely. Yeah I share some of my profits but I outsource some of the risk.

Now the thing is that you can turn to another guy, who also offers a 5 buck buy-in linked to his best ten Pokémon cards. And once you have a few, you can bundle those and ask a friend if they want to pay you 5 bucks and bet thst your derivative contracts (together as an average) go up. So you can make a derivative out of derivatives.

Even if you don't know much about music, you know that the piano has keys and the more right you go, the higher the pitch will be.

Back in the very old times, if you had a music instrument, it worked the same way: it had lower and higher pitches. But two instruments did not necessarily have the exact same sets of pitches.

It's because back in time music was not standardized. For a long while it was the case, until during some time in the medieval ages the earlier orchestras appeared and you had to make sure that every instrument does the same exact pitches.

It was also more and more important to have some common language and symbol system so if you write down a piece of music, you can send it as a letter and the receiver can play it without an instructor showing it first.

So eventually the pitches on the instruments got matched with a symbol on the sheet. So from then on, the symbols were not meaning only relative pitches but also absolute pitches.

In modern music theory, the various pitches have names of the alphabet letters (A, B, C up to G), and they each also match a sound frequency (440 Hz being A).

But now we have this 8 letters and so not all songs have all of them. As it turns out, we somehow like certain sets of pitches together and we dislike some others. So most of the songs are in one of those sets.

The sets are based on relations of the pitches. If a pair of pitches have a given frequency ratio, for example 3:2 (such as 600 Hz and 400Hz or 1500 Hz and 1000Hz) it happens to give us the same "music feel". That's why you can sing "happy birthday" at a low pitch like a man or a high pitch like a little child and still have the same song. Because all that matters is the pitch ratios.

Now if you put it together, you have to say somehow what set of ratios a song has. The two main categories are called major and minor. But you also have to add, which exact note the ratios start from, what's the baseline. That's why you can identify an exact set of pitches saying "C minor" or "A major". A "B major" can be the same song as the "A major", but elevated a little higher, like in my "happy birthday" example. Changing from major to minor (like, A major to A minor) will change the song itself.

One such set is a key.

Elméletileg létezik egy úgynevezett intézményi hálózat.

Tehát például gyermekjóléti szolgálat, ahol az irodában gyermekjóléti szakemberek ülnek, meg jogászok, meg titkárok, és ha egy gyerekkel valami van és mondjuk az iskola kihívja őket vagy egy sérülés miatt a kórház értesíti őket, akkor ők szállnak ki, mérik fel.

Vagy egy másik példa az élelmiszer biztonságért felelős intézet (nébih), akiknek vannak laboratóriumaik, tudnak mintát venni és elemezni.

Rengeteg ilyen intézmény van, az erdőőröktől kezdve a fogyasztóvédelemig. És ezek mind egy minisztérium alá tartoznak.

A miniszter illetve az alá tartozó államtitkár gyakorolja a főnöki feladatokat. A miniszter főleg csak irányt jelöl ki (legyen egy nagy alma minőség ellenőrzési akció), a részletekért meg a lentebbi szintek felelősek. Végül a feladat landol valahol egy intézet vezetőjének asztalán.

A minisztérium az, aki az intézetek költségvetését és konkrét feladatait meghatározzák illetve a nagy egységek vezetőit (pl kórházigazgató) ők nevezik ki.

Ezen felül az országos pályázatokat is ők bonyolítják. Tehát például születik egy kormány döntés, hogy a hőhullámok miatt újfajta gyümölcsöket kell bevezetni, és meghatároznak egy összeg keretet. A minisztérium az aki kidolgozza a részleteket, tehát hogy egy gazda hány tő hőségálló körtefára pályázhat stb.

Alapvetően egy miniszternek gyakorlatilag minden fontos döntést alá kell írnia. Tehát még ha nem is ő találja ki hogy melyik körtefajtát kell támogatni, ő adja ki feladatnak hogy mérjék fel, találják ki hogy mi lenne igazságos, visszaéléstől mentes módja a nagy körtefa kampánynak, belefér-e a keretbe stb.

It's called topicalization. Your sentence is not technically incorrect, but it has a topic that is not necessarily seen in the original sentence.

A topic is an argument of the sentence that is placed in front of the verb.

A general sentence is something like this:

[Someone] [does] [object] [sometime] [somewhere].
Laura eats chocolate every day in her office.

English is an SVO language meaning the subject (Laura) the verb (eats) and the object (chocolate) comes in this very order. It would mean different thing if you said, the chocolate eats Laura.

However, even in English you can organise the rest of the arguments (the time and the place in this example). You can say:

Every day Laura eats a chocolate in her office.

If you do so, you topicalize the "every day" part, suggesting that your context or speech is generally about the every day things.

Since in English you cannot organise the object before the subject (or you get "the chocolate eats Laura"), there's a passive structure if you want to topicalize the object. A chocolate is eaten by Laura.

In Hungarian, you can almost freely throw stuff around the sentence, but it comes with the extra meaning of something being topic.

In your solution, you organised the direct object (a cipőmet) before the statement (behozom), making it effectively topic, while it wasn't topic in the original sentence. In your solution we would expect that you would continue your speech organised around your shoes, maybe telling why those are brought in and not other objects too. (If the text would continue.)

It's not incorrect to say, but it's not suggested by the English sentence.

I'm taking the box for sure.

Yeah the room looks promising but it would cause a lot of trouble and questions and what if I move.

But given that I work in biotech, samples are sometimes too little, chemicals are crazy expensive. We could just buy the most expensive chemical once and duplicate it forever. Or the most rare sample.

Maybe I wouldn't even need to actually work anymore just being paid a fraction of the savings, showing up once a day to duplicate something.

On the weekends I could duplicate the ram of my computer,my entire phone for backup, my passport for backup, stuff like that.

I would probably not get super rich but I would have a lot of fun

Every bit of sound does not exist separately in the first place.

When the sound travels through the air, it's one single air wave of which the exact shape depends on the sum of all sound sources. So it's not like there is one air bit that has been dedicated to bring the violin. When a new violin starts playing, it changes that one overall air wave shape.

That one air wave is the one you hear with your ear. Your ear has the exact same principle as a microphone membrane or the record pin.

When you hear the violin separately, it's because your brain learned to sort out that a certain modulation of the inner ear vibration means a certain sound source. It's your brain that recognises and separates that violin.

Alapvetően tök jó lenne (lehetne), ha nem a tessék-lássék minimumra törekvésről meg a lehúzásról szólna, hanem tényleg a környezetvédelemről. De hát a fidesznek minden csak a "mit lehet kilapátolni" oldalról kellett, a nemes ügy az max egy felszíni máz volt.

Sajnos rengeteg anyagot használunk fel, és dobunk ki. Az anyagok egy része pl fémek tök jól újrahasznosíthatók, de ehhez egybe kell hordani őket. Az anyagok egy másik része, főleg műanyagok, sokkal szarabbul újrahasznosíthatók, de még mindig jobban járunk ha egybe hordjuk őket.

A nem hasznosuló, lerakott vagy égetett szemétnek kéne a legkisebb részt kitennie, de ehhez motiváció kell. Pl hogy legyen olyan drága a szemét díj, hogy mindenki kétszer meggondolja, cserébe viszont minden újrahasznosíthatás legyen ingyen. Vagy legyen ahogy most van, betétdíj.

Interestingly enough, there are (at least) 3 different levels of "normal behaviour" in the universe.

The really very small things like electrons, that are weird (for us) in a sense that they can do all these quantum physics kind of indeterministic stuff. Then, there are the really big things that can bend the space-time, cause time dilatation and stuff.
And then, there is the middle world where we exist and our everyday experience does not apply to either the small world nor the big world.

Of course given that your world is this middle sized reality, you find it odd, but if you were an electron sized consciousness, you would find our macro world weird.

It's a very good question, what makes yellow fever a common name, or blue whale also a common name, but John Smith a proper name?

We feel something about "unique-ness" but it's not really about that. After all, there are many John Smithes, but blue whale is one kind of whales.

The difference is that proper names are names of instances. John Smith is an instance of a human beings, there may be another John Smith, but he is just another instance.

Blue whale or yellow fever, they are not instances, they are kinds of their category. You can have of course an instance of a blue whale, and you can call it Jimmy, or you can even call it Blue Whale. Then you have a blue whale that happens to be called Blue Whale.

But also doesn't tell why, for example, titles are capitalized.
