It's a 'why not both' thing.

My experience is that digital signage displays are still HDMI-only.

It's basic QA.

Bag it, metal detector, check weigher, throw it in a box, send some samples off to QA to swab for bugs and check for seal leaks.

That was bread but I doubt cheese is massively different.

Does the US not practice basic food safety? (answer: no, it doesn't)

I did some contracting for an NZ food manufacturer and EVERYTHING went through a metal detector after the packaging was sealed. It was regularly tested with a 0.5mm metal ball cast into a brick of some kind of acrylic/epoxy.

The later line had an x-ray too.

Manuals can still be faster if you know you're about to put your foot down, and you're in the cheaper end of the market.

Edit: I should have specified while already driving e.g. overtaking or accelerating out of a roundabout.

Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. 'asshole'? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.

  • Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.

  • Still an insult.

The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you're so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can't call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.

Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you're comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.

Presumably you do need to tell them "no nuts because I'm allergic".

Funny, $200 is standard in NZ if you pre pay. Can usually post pay though as you say.

Or guess how much fuel you're going to need and pre-auth a little more than that.

I preferred when I was running custom ROMs and could just hold the power button for a second.

Paris's RER A is an extreme example, with 10-car double-deck trains moving 2,600 people, ~30 trains per hour. More than a million daily journeys.

The Victoria line is a more frequency-heavy system, with 8-car single deck trains at 1100 passengers at 36tph, or 40k PPHPD.

Fully underground systems usually have shorter trains due to the constraints and costs of building longer underground platforms.

Partly this is because there are 2-4 roads in parallel attempting to move the same number of people, or demand is unmet because people can't get to where they want to go when they want to go.

After initial tests created a series of large holes in the wall of the lab, the higher-power Scanning Tunneling Tennis Ball Microscope project was quickly shut down.
