According to Zillow, the median rent (for all property types) is $3,300 is San Francisco, but it is $3,400 in the neighboring San Mateo county, so yes, SF is indeed cheaper ;)

> Did you see AAA777 to Las Vegas.
That's just a typo in the article, the actual flight number is AA777

30 years ago that was an option in Almaty (was extremely convenient for me, as we lived literally 2 block from there). You could check in, drop baggage, go through security and then ride on a bus directly to the plane. Same in Moscow, not sure about other cities (did not fly to other locations back then).
However, this was only partial solution, as it worked for departures only, not arrivals.

I strongly believe that "having the two fields get initialized to Environment.TickCount" is the correct fix and using unsigned arithmetic is just a workaround. If you save the time of some event in some field, you either need to initialize that field with current time, or have special processing of "value not set" everywhere it is used, otherwise you're almost guaranteed to have some hard to debug problem somewhere in the long run.

The table includes post-USSR chips too:

> Only below 40mph
> Only on specifically mapped freeways
Those two seem to contradict each other - there are no freeways in CA or NV where you can (safely) drive below 40mph

This is very unlikely, because Asiana 214 crash happens in broad daylight at 11:28am, so it could not possibly trigger a rule forbidding visual approach at night.

Consumer Report is an American organization and they only report on cars sold here, so no Renault (not sold in USA) nor European Golf in the list.

My understanding is that at Columbus time they did not measured sun / moon positions, but instead based their predictions on the eclipse cycles - if you have long enough record of past eclipses, you can notice that they are not random but the same timing sequence repeats after some time:

> lack of scrollbars on macOS
Do you know that you can tell your Mac to "always show scroll bars" on System Settings -> Appearance page?
Anyway, while I tend to agree that Snow Leopard UI was the best and it went downhill since then, the latest macOS is still very usable and I do not suffer on Mac at all (unlike Windows 11, where I had to install a 3rd party app to at least partially revert what they did with UI)

Do you know that Gucci has on-line store, also available 24/7 from your living room?

Yeah, looking at English-Russian names for boys, there is no way for names like Brody and Orell being Russian!

It's not the background metric but the space geometry is assumed Euclidean - in non-Euclidean geometry the ratio of of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that is not a constant, it depends on such diameter (so you simply cannot define 'pi' in that case)

Want about humans? are humans contrafreeloading animals or not?

You meant Titan, didn't you? - Triton is Neptune's moon ;)
