  • The Manhattan project took 2.5 years. It involved mining 18.8 million pounds of uranium. 10 Cyclotron factories of 20 cyclotrons for 22,000 workers were built in 6 months to separate the uranium.

    It boils down to collecting all the building equipment from around the world and sending it to where you want to build the pyramid.

    50,000 people cutting stone while 50,000 heavy construction equipment operators move the stones would take 2 months.

    So it’s really down to resources. If it was a Manhattan Project level of resources thrown at building a Pyramid, I’d wild guess 3 months.











  • I understand the complaints because I hated it when Pixel dropped the jack. But it can be a smoother process than jacks.

    I get in my car and no longer fumble to pull my phone out and plug it in. Pairing is quicker than plugging in a cable.

    When doing yardwork I used to have to fish my cord through my shirt or it would get caught and yanked out by a tree branch. Even then it was cumbersome because of too much slack or too little slack causing disconnects or snags.

    It’s not perfect. A downside that still might exist (I bypassed the problem years ago so I don’t know if they ever fixed it.) was Google’s auto pairing that wasn’t able to be turned off. When I walked close to the house from outside, my phone would decide on its own to pair with speakers in the house. But that’s a Google problem, not Bluetooth. It didn’t exist with Nexus because you could manually control pairing.

    EWaste is a problem.

    Math is personalized in American schools. There’s on grade, advanced, gt, and accelerated. Each level above on grade is how many years ahead your class math is. Depending on how large your school is, gt and accelerated math students will take math with the grades above them.

    On grade would be quadratic in 9th.
