<p>8g is not an insignificant amount. That's 16 500mg pills. You really need to mess up to take 16 pills and not realise you're doing something wrong. If a patient is not lucid than we have bigger issues.<p>And from what I see in pharmacies, you would rarely see a "cough syrup" called just like that if it contains paracetamol. It would usually be marketed as a flu-relief all-around symptom relief.</p>

<p>This just made me think am I missing something? Brazil is a huge coffee producer and Lebanon as an Arab country must have been exposed to coffee ages ago.<p>Also, I don't see any questioning of Luxembourg stats. Almost six cups per capita cannot sound right, the country size must have skewed the results.<p>All in all, casts doubt on the rest of the article.</p>

<p>Allegedly (from just random messages across different message boards) Airbus is likely nearing their backlogs to a point in time when they plan an A320 successor. Of course, they can still build the current A320 family but their production capacity for it will be decreasing steadily in the future. So they might not need a hell of a lot more orders.<p>But they do want more companies in their team when the successor comes.</p>

<p>> There is no major development project anymore since A350 is in operation.<p>Well, not having a complete new aircraft doesn't mean there is no activities. A320neo is leaps and bounds ahead on the market. While Boeing seriously needs a new aircraft in that segment, Airbus can happily modernise the A320 some more. As for new developments, they likely need to integrate the A220 into their lineup, streamline the issues they had with it, and many think that the A320 successor will likely be based on the A220, making the A220 much more important to Airbus than it seems. There are rumours about a A220-500 which will have different engines than the smaller ones. In the meantime, it's known that Boeing doesn't plan to release anything anytime soon until a new generation of much more efficient engines comes in, even though it's an uncertainty when will it be.<p>Also, it seems that A350-1000 and A330neo sales are somewhat underwhelming, they cannot compete against the 777X or 787. By some reports, the RR engine in the A350-1000 needs too much maintenance in the hot climates of the Middle East, where a lot of wide bodies are sold.<p>All in all, they have their work cut on multiple fronts.</p>

<p>Airbus isn't in an advantage there. They also employ a bunch of suppliers, outside the original companies that formed Airbus. However, they might be in an advantage because that's the way they grown from the start. Different countries, different continents, different languages, final assembly plants, all sorts of aircraft...<p>I met a guy from EADS once, while it was still called EADS, and I was far too young to understand the complexity of what he was talking about. But from what I understood they really do put a lot into managing their supply chain management (very meta), a team he was in. It was a behemoth of an organisation back then and this is just one guy, but I had a feeling they were very open minded.</p>

<p>How is that exactly a risk for a commercial aircraft unless you fear someone armed with a Stinger missile is out to get you? If they had one, I sincerely doubt they would be using public ADS-B ported to a Twitter account to track you around.<p>You could sometimes track Global Hawk drones above the Black Sea publicly.</p>

<p>Traveling much of Europe (humble brag) the only places where I have seen some noticeable difference is Britain (of course) Italy and Malta. That being said, any remotely modern building or establishment expecting travelers on Malta or Italy has plugs with at least USB-A or the two prong "European" (with the round prongs, don't know the standard name).</p>

<p>Paying for features to be unlocked is not new, especially in IT, but with a car it just feels wrong somehow. The hardware is there, but not in a sense when you buy a PC without an OS, because that's a multi-purpose machine, you give it context. Heated seats are dedicated hardware, they're there for one purpose only, they're already in your car and you already paid for the expense of making them and continue paying for gas to haul those heavy hunkers around, increasing emissions. Maybe not much per car, but taking into account a bunch of cars, I just see this as reckless.<p>I can sure as hell guarantee they didn't charge them the same amount as regular seats with the hope of you buying their subscription. The software effort is likely next to none, if any.<p>What makes it even funnier is that the one-time payment for a steering wheel is 200 pounds, which is roughly what you would pay for it as additional equipment, if not less. Why funking around with the customer?</p>

<p>This is a frequent argument I see, but I don't see much substance in it. I've flown with both narrow and wide body, and the most critical dimension is leg room and shoulder width. And I did not find any particular wide body advantage with the sardine-packed 777 comparing to a regular A320, or especially A321, which I have flown in many times. Comparing to a 737, maybe some, but the 737 is an age old design, it is known for not being too spacious. It's not a A321 contender.</p>

<p>On the upside, Dacias are typically larger then other vehicles in the same price range. While you would you be able to buy a small city car from another manufacturer, you could actually buy a Dacia useful for the whole family. Yes, it will be underpowered and noisy, but it will be reliable, cheap to maintain and above all, safe. They get poor safety rating because of the way cars are tested today, but I argue that even a new "less safe" Dacia is safer then a 10 year old "safe" car.</p>
