To add to what FenderMoon said, think of being assigned to write out a sentence on a blackboard 50 times. A CPU, you, can only write one letter at a time, because you only have one writing hand. You can think of a GPU as having basically, 50 hands, so it’s able to write out all 50 lines at once, as long as they’re all doing simple tasks. So the CPU instead tells the GPU what letter to write next, rather than spending its time writing out letters.

Integrated graphics is not the CPU doing the graphics workload, it’s the name for a CPU designed with a GPU component and shared memory between the CPU and GPU. It’s a sort of SOC.

Germany doesn’t even have any functional jets really so it’s a bit of a moot point

Salami strategy

Virtually no spirits are bottled at what they’re distilled to. Vodka is typically distilled to above 90% ABV and then diluted with water at bottling.

I think this guy is confusing a column/continuous still with a pot still. That’s all I can think of. There’s no point to recycling through a column still, while with a pot still you have to distill it multiple times purely to achieve the proper concentration.

Number of distillations is a stylistic choice on the part of the manufacturer; many of the top rated spirits are made on continuous stills rather than pot stills and thus are “only distilled once”.

DEFCON informs what posture the US Military (and thus, any other institution globally that cares what the US Military is doing) is taking. It has very tangible effects on US Military personnel and how quickly they are expected to respond, and the storage state of various assets. For example, at DEFCON 3, you would expect the USAF to essentially have weapons staged at all times to be fitted to aircraft; maintenance crews ready around the clock, and so on.

Could have used something like “In a first, a Navajo Woman was selected to be Speaker of the Navajo Nation Council”

If you can get yourself to the library once, you can get yourself a library card, and then you can use that to get ebooks from them without going there.

The hydrogen being ejected is coolant and propellant at the same time.

Well, this is methane that will be either burned by us, or released into the atmosphere. It’s a byproduct of fermentation in MSW landfills. Burning it is far better for GHG emissions.

I mean, it’s not a new thing. Maybe making it into jet fuel is. But in the US there are hundreds of landfills that capture the gas. DOE calls them “LFG” projects.

It’s been a policy initiative since at least the 90s, and it’s not just about reducing emissions. It’s a lost opportunity to collect what is essentially renewable energy.

Err? What? Lol. The SAT test is not endorsed by or required by any government agency. There is no law that says it must be administered on the same day everywhere in the nation. There is no law that says it must be administered at all. There is also not even a law that says the score must be used as part of university admissions.

It is, however, typically offered on Saturdays.

The marginal cost of running it to the house over poles vs running it over poles to a tower to cover the house favors running it over poles to the house by a wide margin. Tower rents on rural land are around $1500 a month. Unless you’re covering 40+ customers with that, you’re not even covering the rent you’re paying.

2.2 - will never happen. The same things restricting rural broadband speeds also prevent 5G coverage from replacing wired connections - namely, the revenue per mile of cable is garbage. For many places you’ll have to backhaul quite a lot of remote towers to actually cover a rural area properly, and in terms of cost it is either higher or indistinguishable from the cost of local broadband. Rural broadband is garbage because the ROI is garbage - the big players are largely coasting on investments made by the smaller players that went bankrupt because it was financially impossible. It only exists because the big guys bought it on the cheap.

This is a map about where governments are required tho, so it is different. I found it informative, since in some places I did not realize it was mandatory.

Chicago has a huge latino community, as well as Polish and German communities…

For one thing, the USA does not have an official language. Some communities have schools that don’t teach in english. Others have schools where you can opt-in to a full language immersion curriculum - for example, some places in Oregon where you could opt to have your children learn k-12 in Vietnamese.
