Jos on aika illanvirkku aamuntorkku, tältä junalta voi olla ihan fiksua jatkaa n. 1h myöhemmin vielä Luxexpressillä Riika–Kaunas, jossa sitten 1:40 yöllä. Joo, tosi myöhä aika mennä nukkumaan, mutta joillekin ihan ok. Juna lähtee sitten Kaunasista kohti Varsovaa klo 13 jälkeen, eli jos tšekaut ei ole kovin aikaisin, voi sitten aamulla nukkua pitkään.
I'd love to see us go the way of Neanderthals!
But I don't think that will happen. I think we'll go extinct instead.
We survived by reverting to areas that were not covered in ice. The areas under direct influence of the ice age did not remain inhabited. We didn't really adapt. We just had another place to go. In this case, we don't.
Depends on what you define as "lasts forever". We are direct descendants of some kind of a rodent. Yeah, our species has changed "kind of much" since those days, but I wouldn't worry about that kind of "expiration". We are some rodents' grand-grand-grand-...-grandchildren, and I think the rodent would be very much okay with us not looking very squirrellike, if they somehow was to find out they are our ancestor. They'd love us all the same :)
But of course, in our case, it won't be that evolution changes us into something else. It's rather, we will just vault 92'ify ourselves.
What is it that their understanding is lacking?
I know. That's what I thought I was going to be shown :D
of the time yes, but the pin in type E will not cause some chargers to
I haven't seen a plug here in Finland, where all sockets are of type F, that would not have a hole for the ground pin of type E in case that I want to travel to France or Belgium and use the device there. Where have you found a device whose plug doesn't fit in type E socket?!
Well, the amount of differences isn't really that huge. Unlike told in the video, if you pull the continental European plug out enough to be able to touch the pins, it's no longer connected. That safety feature exists in plugs of type J, F, E, K, and, I think, L. Plus, I'd guess N.
Also the slack in ground should exist in all sockets with grounding, as well. (I have never checked if they really do, though...)
So, the only real safety differences are:
-
While it is indeed a bit difficult for a child to insert a pencil or similar into the plugs of type C-contemporary, because there are usually kind of covers that require some strength to push through, the feature where the ground pin pushes the other holes open is a much better solution
-
The fuse can save you in case that there's a short-circuit that causes the appliance itself to catch fire without tripping the central fuse. The British standards enables each appliance to have a fuse only as big as the maximum that appliance might ever need in normal operation, so that if it ever tries using more current than designed, the fuse will blow and a danger gets averted.
This means: one of the listed safety features is partially implemented, another one can save you from a fire in a fringe case, and the rest of the features exist at least in types E, F and K.
Type K, BTW would allow for the same kind of shutters for the live holes as in the type G plug in the video. I wonder if that's implemented? I hope it is!
I had a chance to get to watch it in 3d when it had just come out.
What they failed to tell was that it was with 3d sound but 2d visuals 🥳
Well, 3d all the same. What's the difference anyway?

Itse olen kerran mennyt VR:n piikkiin taksilla välin Lempäälä–Toivakka, n. 205 km, kun juna Helsinki–Jyväskylä oli myöhässä lumen tukittua vaihteita milloin missäkin.
We'll see. Bedouins might be able to survive, indeed.
Though, I'd wish for my children and grandchildren to be among the ones who will keep thriving. It's not the easiest thing to organize.
