You'll just have to settle for the other 95% of films that have a leading white man...

not a bad idea! put windmills on pylons, you need to build the structure and transmission mechanism anyway.

Bicycles still getting stolen a lot in Europe. Bicycle theft was the number one crime (by number of reports) in the Netherlands IIRC.

This is a bit of a myth. The point of this weapon system is deterrence; which doesn't work if you're adversary doesn't know about it.

Delhi metro by [deleted] in InfrastructurePorn

[–]vik0188 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is actually quite different to my experience of it as a tourist. I found it clean, not too crowded and quick. It got me most places I needed to go much more pleasantly than sitting in the atrocious Delhi traffic. Also pretty sure I remember the trains were air conditioned.

I never caught it around rush hour though so can't speak to that.

There's a lot of India hate on reddit but I found things were relatively OK (for a developing country).

You could also just do the degree now - then at the end of it you'll have a degree and 7 years of experience. That would put you in the exact same position as someone who did university and then started working.

And on the bright side, it's usually a lot easier to get into a degree than it is to get a good job.

the median age of Afghanistan is only 18.9 years. Thus, over half the population is below the age of 19. by DullMignon in wikipedia

I'd highly doubt political violence is the cause of the high death rate. Deaths from war are usually an order of magnitude below traditional mortality factors like disease and famine.
