Even if Seoul is serious about this, considering the locations of the two countries, it seems incredibly difficult and inefficient to ship weapons from South Korea to Ukraine.
Is it really much more difficult or inefficient than the US and Canada shipping arms? Is that extra worth it?
Considering that Russia and North Korea are increasing ties, announced at Putin's recent visit, it's likely in SK interest to aid Ukraine so that Russia has to allocate mil hardware to their fight rather than selling it to NK. This just happened with India, who decided to go with US hardware because Russia has continuously delated delivery of systems they already bought.
As there is only one bottle of this wine in the world, I think what matters is the dose but not concentration of Pb.
In addition, the 0.14 mg/L figure reported in the paper is at a similar level to the current safety standard. The International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), an intergovernmental agency comprised of 45 international member states, has a current maximum acceptable limit of 0.15 mg/L for Pb in wine starting from the 2007 harvest year.
MSE is sometimes perceived as hostile to beginners because it often closes off newbie questions that lack context or are thought to be of low quality. MO is not suffering from this because almost all such questions are migrated to MSE. In this sense, yes, MO is less hostile than MSE because its hostility is outsourced to MSE.
The news headline is inaccurate. The message was not a hoax. It was a joke. No deception was involved. The recipients of the message are in fact the man’s friends who boarded the same plane with him.
Ground control wouldn't have cleared them to hold short, or to position and hold (US: "line up and wait"). That would have been the tower, not ground. Ground is only responsible for taxiways, not runways.
The Coastguard plane was cleared to hold short at C2, but entered the runway instead from C2 as if cleared to position and hold (Edit: Or maybe they thought they were cleared to take off, but that's far less likely).
Because I think you'd appreciate it, and no pedantry intended: "Line up and wait" is the international terminology, which the US was relatively late to adopt.
I may be wrong but this seems inaccurate. In WWII, the cryptanalysis of the Enigma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma) was related not to number theory, but to group theory. Number theory became relevant to cryptography only since the 1970’s/1980’s when Diffie and Hellman published their paper on public-key cryptography. Although number theory was related to cryptography in the past (e.g. in shift ciphers and block cyphers), it was the Diffie-Hellman paper that placed number theory in the central role.
Agree. My impression is that the anime movies are more about the philosophy of “self”, while SAC is more about sociology and politics. I like SAC slightly more than the movies, but it was the first Ghost in the Shell movie that transcended the manga to a masterpiece.
Interesting detail: in the film, his daughter used two long hair needles to fix the hat on her head. Is it just me who don’t know this use of hair needles?
Hairstyles and accompanying hat wear are definitely not a hobby of mine, and yes, I was aware. But I also have watched a lot of period films where they’ve shown such a thing.
