A similar confusion may be audible in any McDonalds.
Their kitchens have many alerts and alarms, and many of them
use the same tone. Get a beverage, stand with a view
behind the counter toward the kitchen, wait, and listen.

For 1x and 2x softwood at big box stores, assume that the 10% of pieces that are the most accessible have been picked over and rejected by previous customers. If you just need strength, take almost anything, but if you want nicer-looking boards, be as picky as those who shopped before you.
In other words, if a refueling station can do solar or wind capture and electrolysis on-site, the economics are better. This would be unlikely for stations in urban or high-density areas, but for rural and suburban locations it might be a win.
I would guess that roadway signage in the US runs about 80:20 textual:symbolic, but that the EU runs about 20:80, with much heavier use of symbols, and use of text only to modify or explain something not covered by the available symbolic palette. Could any EU->US or US->EU migratory drivers make their own estimates?
Now identify a country that could respond with a similar level of aid in less time. Not more aid in more time, but just “beat to the punch” with a useful initial response. Citations preferred.

Whether that is due to “very good reasons” or the possibility that prosecutors have many options of how many charges to bring and what degree of charge is debatable.
When the US federal government has wanted to enforce things like a nation-wide speed limit, or vehicle safety requirements, they have had to threaten to withhold highway funding to get states to go along by passing state-by-state laws. In theory, the same could be done with helmet laws, but enough political energy has not materialized for that to happen. This pattern will have implications for full-self-driving vehicles.
Briefly, previous SARS viruses reproduced in the lungs, impairing respiration, but Covid-19 reproduces in the cells lining blood vessels, impairing circulation.
A tool or family of tools that convert various other formats to the groff format might be a more accessible project.
Would love to see either this or Brunner’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shockwave_Rider as well-produced films.
The idea is to write a rough draft that covers what the project is, what it does, the API structure, and how to use the project, then write the code, “projecting the document”, and finally sort out the documentation - comments in the source, everything else in a manual page, article, or research paper.

> The ship was prepared to support 250 hospital beds, but over its 53-day deployment, which included travel to and from the island, it admitted an average of only six patients a day, or 290 in total. An additional 1,625 people were treated aboard the ship as outpatients, all at no cost.
The riskiest situation is exposure to plague and then quickly traveling to some other location where plague is rarely seen, and doctors at the destination do not know to look at the symptoms as possibly plague, and to tentatively treat for plague before testing confirms the diagnosis. Medical groups in New Mexico have several time done public awareness programs using the tag line: “Land of the flea, home of the plague.”
