Well only Rotterdam was bombed by the Germans. The next city to be bombed would be Utrecht, but then the Netherlands capitulated. All other destroyed cities (e.g. Arnhem, Nijmegen)…

Moore's law is not about doubling clock speed, it is about doubling the transistor density. This has continued after clock speed improvements have stopped. Even today it is followi…

I agree, it tasted kind of synthetic, almost like plastic. I don't have that experience with other meat free burgers.
