The Czech republic has non optical microscopes only because FEI (part of Thermo Fisher Scientific) has its manufacturing plant there.

Since there are basically two manufacturers of election microscopes on earth (the other one being Zeiss) and one of these bad boys will settle you for millions of dollars, this explains how it's the country's main exports.

Before being aquire by Thermo Fisher Scientific (in 2014 or 2015, not sure) FEI's annual gross income was around $1B, so around the figure cited here.

God of war Ragnarok is a AAA game, and I absolutely loved it.

There, not everyone complains about all modern AAA games. Just in case you actually thought EVERYONE dislikes them, you might be in an echo chamber.

Well, to get humans to space today you have either the crew dragon on a SpaceX falcon 9, or a Soyouz.

And relations with Russia are a bit tense nowadays, so if you are not Russian, there are currently no other options than SpaceX.

Kinda looks like a monopoly, with another actor starting to compete (and SpaceX is historically very competitive on prices, so without huge government subsidies, I doubt Boeing would consider maintaining their crewed vehicle)

Je me suis acheté "The Last Spell" car il était en promo.

J'ai découvert ce jeu quand j'ai vu un nouvel album de "The Algorithm" (un artiste français) qui le semblait très musique d'ambiance à la première écoute, du coup j'ai regardé de plus près, et j'ai mis le jeu sur ma wishlist.

Ben le jeu est vraiment cool, très prenant, et la musique défonce, parce que The Algorithm.

Gave a presentation last year, using a joy con as a remote for switching slides.

Nice thing is you can have mouse with the joystick as well

I'll soon be in the market for an EV, and I wish what you're saying we're true.

Other brands are more expensive, and their base price can barely compete with a tesla, but their options pricing is ridiculous.

There's LOTS of teslas where I live because it's the best bang for your buck right now as far as EV comes.

I dislike Musk as much as anyone else around here, but the companies he fronts have met lots of success, I guess because there are lots of very competent people actually running them (i.e. Gwynne Shotwell for SpaceX)

I'll explain as if your first language is not English.

Dry means something that has no moisture in it, like sand can be dry or wet.

Obviously something dry contains no moisture or liquids.

A Martini is a cocktail, mixed from mostly gin and vermouth. In this context, dry means "little vermouth", so the taste of the gin is most prevalent.

So the joke is between the two different meanings of the word, as obviously a dry cocktail makes no sense if you take the first meaning of the word.

Ladies, my buddies died face down in the sand so that you and I can enjoy this spice

What did you dislike about those movies?

The factory must grow

That's not Idaho, that's Gurney Halleck !
