We have oil for that

I really don't get why the USA does this.

In developing countries it's understandable that the state can't pay for education, but in a first world country (at least in the cold war era meaning) it's insane that education is FOR PROFIT.

In Europe the countries don't pay for education out of pure idealism. Educating a large percentage of the population is needed for a functioning and stable democracy (that hopefully doesn't fall for populism, although we're currently fighting with that too, still far better than the USA's Trump cult) and especially needed for staying internationally competitive in the long term.

Just a few days ago I've paid my fee for this semester, studying at a well known university (not worldwide but at least in my country and neighbouring countries) with a good reputation: 24.70€ (27.3$). I could also pay the same at an internationally more known uni but they're pretty similar quality-wise, the other just is in a bigger city = has more students = publishes more.

For international students from non-eu-countries it's ~750€ per semester, still not that much.

Notably, this doesn't work with dogs, as they have no souls.

Which kind of motion detectors? The ones I know work on everything that's moving, including my cats (don't have dogs) or even just throwing something past it

The rules are the same. Add 3 to 5 and you'll always have 8. Geometric calculations can't change how they work either. Etc.

Universal. How else would you calculate or solve equations?

They are expected to have between 25 and 30 percent*

And usually prognosises tend to value them higher than they end up, so I guess we can expect them to get around 25%. Plenty of space for other parties to form a coalition.

For the USA, yes, but there are other countries too where democracy still kinda works

German quality

Did you know that there is not a single city, with a population over a million, where the sea level sits more than ten metres above the median ground level of the city.

Am I misunderstanding or are you saying that there's no big city >10m below sea level?

(Sea level more than ten metres above city level)

Is this life in a room with us right now?

When I was a little child I was sad German isn't the common language ("how great would it be if everyone in the world knew this beautiful language!"). While growing up I completely shifted towards being glad it isn't German, I wouldn't want that to happen to my language.

The sane middle ground. Word but it's yours.
