I live in Germany, and routinely drive faster than that. With good roads and reasonably trained drivers this isn't an issue

This story once again highlights that this is bad policy. At least this one didn't end like Germanwings or Malaysian.

Is there reciprocity for this treaty?

It is a requirement [1] to land with 45 minutes of fuel remaining, if the pilots go under that, it is considered an incident. As soon as estimated landing fuel goes under the limit, the flight needs to declare an emergency (as was done in this case).

This happened on the 11th. See United 93.

From the article:
> Some manufacturers claimed that the presence of the headphone jack made it difficult to keep their phones waterproof; but there’s a whole range of good-quality phones from around 2019-2020 that are waterproof to a reasonable degree, without sacrificing the jack.

I had an HTC Wizard (branded by T-Mobile) many year ago, which had a 2.5mm jack.

The article addresses both points:
> The first manufacturer to make a point of dropping the headphone jack (I believe) was not Apple – as is commonly believed – but Oppo, and back in 2014. Their reason for doing so was at least a credible technical one: they said it made their phones about half a millimetre thinner. Maybe that was a selling point, maybe it wasn’t. But Apple couldn’t fall back even on this claim, because people found ways to fit a 3.5mm jack socket into the iPhones that lacked one, and even posted videos on Youtube showing how they did it. It wasn’t easy, but it was clearly possible. If Apple genuinely thought that omitting the jack would leave more room for other features, they didn’t actually provide any.

I'd say the bigger question is whether or not the projection used at the time of design was one that would show the straight line. The Mercator projection was first invented in 1569 [1]

> Locked cabin doors are also good.
These have 150 confirmed kills [1], and another 239 suspected kills [2]. They also weigh a lot, so a lot of excessive fuel is burnt because of them every day. They also sometimes break, causing delayed and cancelled flights.

It's like paying 10k in tax over 100k, you just need to wait a year. At least, that's how I interpret the comment

I've noticed that some EV users talk about charging rates in "kWh/h". Which is interesting, to say the least.

The Sony Xperia line up has SD card slots, headphone back, and dual SIM capability. I don't think they have OLED, but the screens get good reviews. Looks like you can expect only 2 years of updates though.

This is possible in all JetBrains IDEs, just right-click the breakpoint and configure it that way.
