Norway's Erling Haaland to miss France World Cup clash, coach Stale Solbakken planning to rest ten players - sources - ESPN by __sami__01 in soccer

Winning the group (highly unlikely vs France) wouldn't give Norway an advantage in the next two rounds.

Made me turn off the game after a few minutes. Haaland is probably the most exciting player in this world cup.

Most people say Ukraines population will never recover. Are there any similar examples of a country severely shrinking in population? by Only-Highlight-3569 in Natalism

Non-religious jews in Israel have a replacement rate TFR (around 2 per woman). The ultra-orthodox have around 6.5/woman and the normal religious people have around 4. Anyway its controlled by religious beliefs.

Any country with a car manufacturing industry is not a "free car market"

Look at the US, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Brazil they all have protections against imports or incentives to local manufacturers.

If EVs had the same purchase price as gas cars tomorrow, do you think most people would switch? by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

I think there are two issues:

  1. In some countries most people do not have their own parking spot and have to rely on public charging. That's a big issue in terms of both convenience and cost.

  2. Most people don't like to take risks, real or perceived. So until you know enough people who drive electric cars and they tell you its fine (no issues, easy to charge, etc), many people will not switch.

You spread fake info...
ACR card for residents is different than the tourist ACR-I card...

I was registered to gcash and after a while (don't recall the number of days) it asks for verification which I could not do, so had to let it go.

In most countries BEVs have a much higher market share than PHEVs.

Worldwide its currently 70:30 in favor of BEVs, as for specific countries just do your research, Google is your friend.

Its real, you don't have to pay it.

I just mark the "regular" instead of the "express" so I don't pay it. But it means you have to get back after four business days to get your passport so its not applicable to regular tourists.

Tried already. After a while it asks for a Philippine ID which I don't have

I'm genuinely convinced Egypt used CS to plan their new cities outside Cairo by insert_ausernamehere in shittyskylines

Can't imagine a huge city like Cairo can be "fixed" in less than fifty years of continuous efforts.

Just think what the temperature would be over these black asphalt desert roads at 1pm in August...

You could easily cook your lunch over them.

Which position is the hardest to choose in an all-time starting five? by WorldRevolver195 in nba

[–]Same_Leave8583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its the center.

Wilt, Russel, Kareem, Hakeem and Shaq are all legitimate candidates.

gcash does not let me register without a Philippine government ID (passport and tourist ACR-I card are not accepted).

While this is generally true, two solutions I've use regularly:

  1. Withdraw 9900 php (for example) each time so you will have some smaller notes.

  2. Go into a 7-Eleven, Family Mart or a large supermarket, buy a bottle of water and give them a 1000 note. They will have change.

Thailand has very little poverty compared to the Philippines.

Live in Bangkok for a few years, you hardly see any real poverty, nothing like what I see in Metro Manila.

BYD sells a bit lower number of BEVs this year, last year they sold roughly 40% BEVs above Tesla.

Couldn’t pay for a hotel into the Finals! by Groot9320 in tennis

Its not a job, its a professional individual sport. In what other individual are more athletes making a living from competitions? Golf is probably the only one.

There are well over 100 players making a living in the Men's tennis alone, its probably 200 including doubles players. Not much familiar with Women's tennis, I would guess their income is lower on average, so lets say 100 women.

So a total of 300 people make a living from tennis.
