Have you ever spoken to a person from Spain?

In current times, there will be more people offended that some prefer to use "main" rather than "master", than people that will be offended if "master" is used

Freudian slop?

Rotations have determinant 1, but not all matrices of determinant 1 in the connected component of the identity are rotations

But is that the same thing? 300cpm says something about the risk to someone near the worker, not about what the worker has been exposed to

To more precisely represent the words of the person you're replying to, you should have said "memories" not "opinions".

I found this parody of an AI generated video, full of all typical errors in AI-generated art, very funny. Or was this how AI-generated video's looked a year ago? Great music too

The most important is that they capture enough light, for which the lenses must have a large diameter. 50mm is typical. Magnification around 10x is good. This is referred to as 10x50. I have a Celestron Skymaster 15x70 myself, which is specifically for night sky observation. The 70mm is very good, but the weight and the magnification make it difficult to hold still without a tripod, though you can still use it without, e.g. lying on your back

According to the article, the other way around didn't happen: the legalization didn't decrease illegal gambling

That is not when an encryption algorithm is usually considered to be broken, it just means that a certain key length is not sufficient anymore. You can break 20 bit RSA with pen and paper, but as long as a linear change in the key length causes an exponential increase in the decryption time, the algorithm is not broken. At this moment, the record for the factorization of a specific RSA key is one of 829 bits, which suggests (by extrapolation) that within a few decades 1024 bits may not be safe if your adversary has the resources. No (reasonable) key length can be expected to be safe forever, even without any mathematical breakthroughs

You don't need to buy a place to live in the cities. In Amsterdam, 70 percent of the places are for rent and over 2/3 of those are in the social sector (almost 50% of the total), meaning that there is a cap on the rent.

It is ironic that you would speak of a country's values, especially in the context of the USA, where many people that consider each other Americans don't even accept each other's values
