This is correct. Everyone in the US calls a kcal a calorie. I learned to distinguish them with big "C" and little "c", but I've just looked it up and this is apparently not so common. I guess ppl who are aware of these things just go with the SI unit of kJ.

Sure thing! Thanks for saying.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Explanation of the chart:

On the last match day of Group-A (23 Jun), it's SUI v GER, SCO v HUN. Their performances up to this point and 9 tie-breaking criteria determine who advances and in which position. Rather than explaining all of that, this chart just gives you the possible outcomes for 1st and 2nd place. Rows are the SCO/HUN result, columns are the SUI/GER result. Find the 2 results you're interested in (1 row, 1 column) and see which colour corresponds to them. 3rd place also has the possibility to advance. If HUN wins, it's them, otherwise it's SCO except for the blue region where it would be SUI. Group [A] winner advances to play Group [C]-2nd. Group [A]-2nd plays Group [B]-2nd (likely Italy or Spain).

What are the police trying to prevent that's worse than someone getting killed?

That one episode of Rick and Morty ruined all heist movies for me forever.

And where do you even go? Civic centers, bowling alleys etc are dead. Moderate churches are disappearing. Car centric everything means if you have a disability or not much money you're screwed.

That's a good point. We can start with what we control by not buying crap from them directly.

This list aligns pretty well with mine.. It's easier and more satisfying than you expect to boycott companies like amazon.

Fahrenheit has too much precision. Humidity makes the difference between a degree F virtually meaningless. 0-100 is nice but then the minus degrees don't mean anything. In F you go from already fucking cold to even colder. You can think of C being 0-30 with minus being a threshold of more serious cold, poor road conds etc. Celsius is more elegant than it might first appear. Also using it is less confusing and cringey for non-USians.

 

Take the results of the last Group-H matches, see which colour the square is and then you'll know who finishes 1st and 2nd in the group.
