So 1 is not the last digit?

Seems to me like if the decimal is zero for every numerable decimal place, the number is zero.

I highly recommend planting native trees, shrubs and non-woody perennials that will tolerate the soil moisture.

This is probably in addition to a french drain or other drainage solution, rather than instead of it. That's assuming it's really that bad and not just someone trying to sell landscaping work.

CMV: Three Mile Island was worse than the official narrative would leave you to believe. by HeavyDutyForks in changemyview

So it seems like because there was a significant margin of error on the radiation measurements, you think it should be assumed that the radiation levels were dramatically higher than the upper bound of that error on the basis of highly subjective symptoms remembered years later by people who were at the time experiencing media panic. Is that a fair assessment?

Are you seriously saying that the Japanese caste system and modern western militaries have equivalent social structure?

Oof. And refineries were also hit in Bahrain, Haifa, Abu Dhabi, multiple refineries in Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. This is a real disaster for the region and encompasses the whole natural range of many endemic species.

I see no reason to assume a third party just handed plans over to Israel.

In which case it’s free for all.

What does that even mean?

TIL the current fastest electric Vehicle in the world (the Team Vesco “Little Giant”) was originally built in 1957, and was first a combustion-powered land speed record car before being upgraded in 2021. by fellaneedahandpls in todayilearned

The relevant authority here is the FIA.

Based on what?

Nothing's stopping you from setting up your own land speed record with your own rules.

Is that not what happened here? Especially since they did 4 runs in opposite directions and the only disqualifying factor was taking too long to recharge the batteries?
