I know lots of euro bros are showing how long their country is, but I think the point is that Texas is a state, not country. When you compare those things it's quite impressive, however still not even the largest state in the world. Here are some others. A nice drive from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay will cost you 17 hours, or in Amazonas, Brazil, Manaus to Cruzeiro do Sul is 33 hours.

To the guy who annexed Arizona into California in order to beat Texas, shame.

I was curious why this is effective.

The influence of artificial light in urban spaces is a well-known phenomenon among birds, but is still not fully understood. Birds tend to migrate by night, and use the stars to navigate. By day, they use the position of the Sun to orient themselves. During nocturnal migration, they are often seen gathering around or crashing into lit-up windows and structures, or gathering around beams of projected life. The artificial glow of cities also appears to attract them for stopovers. One explanation is that they may generally fly towards light sources, but also, that the artificial light confuses, traps and disorients them.

I wonder if it's a deer in the headlights effect or more like moths?

This article is talking about Colombia, so I thought you were comparing Norway to Colombia. It would be interesting to see the Nordic model applied to the US. There are 370m Americans vs 5m Norwegians but our government budget per capita could theoretically be closer

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget_per_capita

Norway has a budget of $36k to spend per citizen and the US $20k. Say we raised our possible budget to $36k I wonder what impact that would make. $16k x 370m Americana would be ~$6b dollars. Looks like annual spend on US Medicare is $808b, so we couldn't even offer free healthcare. It seems like the US would need to be ground up rebuilt.

Not disagreeing with you, but Norway is the way it is because it sells oil and it has been enough revenue over the years to provide for it's citizens. Many countries can't follow this model.

If you look up Zied Aouina (issue creator), he's a principal SWE at MS. Seems within his power to read the codebase and figure out his question if he claims he can't find the documentation.

It's also harder to invest with the amount of funds that Berkshire Hathaway has. The slippage must be a difficult task to manage. Also, they have to make more than 20% because they have to payout the employees and guarantee growth for the investors.

Sorry your correct, I hadn't previously seen the rest of the article because the read more button was dizzyingly hidden between ads.

He is claiming self defense and fearing for his life. Will be a tough case.

Not what I was saying, but since this trial is going to last a month, there is more information than we know. I've done jury duty for a murder/homicide case and that only lasted about a week.

I'm an immigrant myself, you guys need to slow your role. Neither am I a conservative nor preach the 2a. You can be curious about the technicalities of a case without picking a side. I've marched plenty for liberal social causes, but I have never seen so many SJWs ready to attack than on lemmy.
