Sometimes I just kick that basket around when I can't be bothered to reach for the handle, lol

Acceleration may be slower on the top one, but it sure does have speed in straight sections

Norway is richer on average though. Let's see how sales go after the initial introduction

Not, but I'd do 75*10 + 75*4, then subtract the extra.

The LLM method of doing it with multiple numbers without proper interpolation though makes it extra weird

The initial explosion sending them off is worse than the collision (especially with soil)

The Nordic prices are ridiculous though. It's the equivalent of adding ~200 euro to the regular European price. I bet lots of people here are going to import from other EU countries

While sound is not nearly as dominant, it's absolutely not just a backup sense. It's the fastest perception we have (the best rhythm game players can play blind but not deaf), it covers all directions, and even in our sleep we still respond to loud sounds.

Sound perception is so fast that it's often what directs you to look in the right direction, even if what you're reacting to happened in your field of vision.

Funny enough, even our peripheral vision is faster than our central field of vision, to help us avoid predators coming from behind! Our forward directed vision is for tracking and understanding what's in front of us, sound and peripheral vision is in large part for environmental awareness. They're co-dependent!

Humans can even learn echolocation!

More specifically, polarization changes with the angle of reflection of the surface towards the detector / eye / camera, so every bump in the surface gets a color gradient different from the surroundings when seen by a polarization sensitive eye

Polarization filters on retinal photoreceptor won't make light wavelength (color) be perceived different, it just changes the conditions in which it's detected. If those polarized cells would cover unique colors compared to the rest, it would kinda resemble the highlight effect in Mirror's Edge, where something with a different angle than the surroundings stand out (sudden color gradient)

He probably told Netanyahu to please stop it, it's hurting my PR now, and was shocked when he said no

Not unlikely enough, even something as simple as more students studying harder between years would mean the next set of average students drop in score despite the same performance.

Grading on a curve is always unfair when the grade carries forward and isn't just for a one-off application. More unfair when classes are smaller and student cohorts differ.

Open book where the question merely implies needing to know X without spelling it out is where it really gets hard
