Here’s my take…

Hotel air conditioners feel like perfect air conditioning. Likely due in part to hotel rooms being a small space, usually limited to one outside window, and they are usually good sized units so they will cool it very fast and effectively. Also the rooms are usually warm when you first enter, and so you turn on the A/C and immediately feel the room getting colder.

Similarly, McDonald’s pop is essentially perfect. McDonald’s arguably strives for consistency above all else, so you know that a Sprite from any location will be the perfect mix, the exact right about of carbonation, perfectly chilled with jus the right amount of ice. It will even have their specific large diameter straw to ensure the ideal flow rate when you drink.

Close, but you’re way off!

2% of 300M is 6M (6 million). So the percentage is closer to 0.2%.

Also the percentage is useless without a comparison to Israel. The 2,250 number represents about 0.02% of their population! So still a massive difference, based on those numbers.

No you didn’t. There are a total of zero $5/day spots in downtown Toronto.

I’m a native English speaker and had no issue… but I come across (or hear) contractions like “ain’t” often enough that it barely registers as being non-standard… just much less formal, really. Some punctuation might’ve helped you here.

Especially considering this is going on a research facility… and in fact some of their research can benefit the solar industry!!

Hmm good point, I had not considered that!

Must be thinking of the incident in Peterborough…

No that definitely looks more like a copper pipe than conduit which is typically PVC, steel, zinc… basically nothing that could be confused with copper.

Per the article, it’s because he has a shared driveway. If he has to park on the street, he may need a very long extension cord to use a regular charger…

Nothing, pretty sure it’s just referencing things like George Floyd, BLM, and police brutality in general, which were some of the top trending stories on Twitter in 2020.
