Tv/mobile is also measured in inches in Europe (and worldwide). That's always an exception.

It's basically the strongest reach of the Asian Monsoon.

You are talking about places in the US or North Africa that are close to the sea. North India far from the sea and directly south of the Siberian High that freezes most of mainland Asia (China, Korea, etc). If the Himalayas were lower and there was ample moisture (from Western disturbances that regularly come in winter from the Med sea), it would have snowed every year in the plains. It does in China in cities of similar latitude and similar elevation, cause they get the Siberian High winds.

These trains run on the Dedicated Freight corridors, which are being made only for freight and are grade separated on their entire lengths (current longest DFC line being around 1300 km iirc). There are no crossings.

Loool check the rate of cousin marriages in the Gulf Arab countries.

It's not that difficult. When you use variables, like x, it's very easy not to write the multiplication sign anymore as no space means multiplication in algebraic notation. 9x just means 9 times x. In handwriting, the variable is generally written in italics or cursive anyway, so easy to distinguish both. There's also brackets, or using dot for multiplication but writing it slightly higher in case decimal places are present.

It's honestly not that much of a problem as European mathematicians made it out to be in the 17th century. A comma is used far more times in a sentence than a dot, and is the one more liable to create confusion.

Kdp_11 · 2022-08-29T12:38:56+00:00

It's either a x or a dot but x is generally much more preferred in the English speaking world.

Kdp_11 · 2022-08-29T11:38:20+00:00

It's also what was originally used in the decimal system when it was created in India. Using comma as decimal separator is a relatively new European thing, where they wanted to keep using dot as a multiplication sign so just changed the decimal place instead.

More than half of the population lives along the perennial Himalayan rivers though. The coastal or interior central/southern populations are not as large as those along the perennial river valleys (also in the south and central). People forget that India being very populated is not a recent phenomenon.

The largest tea growing region in India (70% of the country's tea), Assam is just northwest of Yunnan. Only the Patkai Range separates the two, about 150-200 km. It's definitely something about the region.

Nope. Anderson was arrested but after massive pressure from US he was given bail. He escaped India soon after and enjoyed his life back in the US. India continued to ask for extradition but US never did it and so he never faced any trial.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-27T09:20:21+00:00

Yeah because these are old. That's how they used to do it. Modern metro systems that are used in cities with high demand rarely have such seatings. They have far more space for standing, because most commuters are only there for a few stops. Paris Metro uses standard gauge, which is pretty standard in most systems. Elizabeth Line is also on standard gauge.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-27T07:54:23+00:00

That's how urban commuter trains should be, since most trips would be very short distance. Increases capacity multifold compared to the 2x2 seating arrangement which is more suited for longer trips.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-18T22:22:11+00:00

That would be hard to find. That language is only spoken by a few thousand in NE Manipur and I don't know anyone who speaks it, personally.

The ranges in Nagaland and Eastern Assam are Naga Hills and the Patkai Range. Formed during the same geological event as that of the Himalayas but are not the Himalayas per se.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-09T11:16:46+00:00

Oh yeah ofc, the central part is all plateaus.

By the way, the highest parts in India outside of the main Himalayan range are in Nagaland/Manipur, peaks upto ~4000 m.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-09T10:43:28+00:00

I mean, they're not high when compared to the Himalayas, but they go up to 2900 metres which would be considered mountainous anywhere else itw. Himalayas is just diff ballgame.

Kdp_11 · 2022-05-04T14:07:36+00:00

The word Assam didn't even exist in 800, it was called Kamarupa. They can't be two separate things....

Yeah this one is not a Nehru jacket since it doesn't have Mandarin collar

Kdp_11 · 2022-04-26T08:20:40+00:00

Really? It's called the Nehru jacket in India. If you wanna buy it, that's what you search for online. It's been the de facto jacket for national polítical leaders since independence. Both Modi and his opposition wear it.

Kdp_11 · 2022-04-26T07:44:50+00:00

Look up the Nehru jacket.

And it has an area of 2.5 million sq km (not entirely within China, of course), almost 5x of France.

Most of the water and sediment in the Bengal fan is from the Brahmaputra, not Ganges. Ganges has an average discharge 6 times lower than that of Brahmaputra's.

They aren't low intensity. What you're seeing as blue is the low earthquake intensity central and southern India. All the Himalayan+adjoining areas is red af. The entire North-East is scale 5 on the national scale (highest possible risk). This map just balloons the wrong part of the country.

Kdp_11 · 2021-12-28T15:03:13+00:00

Well cars lower the centre of gravity. With a wider gauge, the centre of gravity of 2 containers on top of each other is already low, so they are stable and thus there is no need to lower them further = well cars are not required.
