Looking at Starbuck’s website, a 12oz Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte contains 11 grams of sugar. Compared to the 25 grams in their regular 12oz Vanilla Protein Latte.
They were on 2.6 between 2003 and 2011, ending on version 2.6.39.4.
If you want to include all of version 2, you are going back to 1996.

The modern legal structure of “marriage” exists largly to protect the person who takes on what was traditionally the women’s role in a marriage. There is no longer a legal obligation to have sex, leave the workforce, or dispraportionatly give up your property rights.
However, if an individual chooses to procreate, marriage helps insure the other party remains on the hook for the child. If an individual chooses to leave the workforce, and the relationship subsequently fails, marriage provides that individual substantial financial protections in the form of an equal claim to marital assets (and, potentially, alimony).
Without marriage, someone who chooses to take on the role of a homemaker places themselves in a very vulnerable and dependent position.
While these protections are no longer specific to women, they still disproportionately protect women; because heterosexual couples still disproportionately adopt a relatively traditional relationship.
There is also absolutely no requirement for a religious ceremony or diamond ring.

We would need to give Iran a very attractive offer for that. They are aware of our internal politics, and want the Republicans to do poorly. They are also very distrustful of us, so any benifit to them would neec to be front loaded. But once they get the front loaded benefit, they have no reason to follow through.
Assuming you get through all of that, Iran can not just flip a switch and fix the global energy market if they wanted to. Infrastructure has been destroyed, supply chains have collapsed, and tankers are slow.
Pretty much all cloud compute is charged by usage (CPU time, storage, ingress, egress, class X api calls, etc), and is notoriously unpredictable. Businesses deal with it because, despite the unpredictability, it is cheaper than any other model could viably be offered at.
Consumer facing products will likely adopt different models; but “AI” is not a product, and most AI products will be bought by businesses.

Hindenburg, the 230 duly elected Nazis (with there 13 million voters), and the Nazi party apparatus that made Hitler leader.
If you pull off a political miracle, you might be able to keep a 37℅ plurality (with significant electoral momentum) out of power for a cycle; maybe 2. But a democracy cannot keep such a popular movement out of power indefinitely.
The time to keep the Nazis out of power was the 1932 election. Any move after that is just a Hail Mary gambit

Germany was (and is) a parliamentary system. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party, and the Nazis were elected to a plurality of the seats in the Reichstag.
The standard practice at the time was that the leader of the plurality party got to be Chancellor. To not have done so would have been weird and undemocratic.

I guess it has been long enough that it is time to replay the original formula.
In unrelated news, I choose to believe that this was the plan all the way back in season 1, when Iron “lost” his white lotus piece.
You are still leaving words out. Under a standard analysis of English, the full sentence would be:
More people have been to Berlin than I have been to Berlin.
In my judgement as a native English speaker (with an undergraduates degree in linguistics), both that and the original sentence are grammatical. However, it is not obvious to me what they mean.
Looking at it as a linguist, I could hypothesise that the meaning is:
A) The number of people who have been to Berlin is greater than the number of times I have been to Berlin.
Going back to the original sentence, I could also hypothesise (as others in this thread have) that the underlying sentence is
More people have been to Berlin than I have people.
Meaning that I posses a quantity of people, and that quantity is smaller than the quantity of people who have been to Berlin.
Neither of these meanings are intuitive to me (a native speaker), and I would struggle to produce a coherent analysis of either of them. To be clear, that last part is not disqualifing, there are plenty of things in language that have elluded coherent analysis. And many more that have done so from me.

Solar and wind are not intrinsically grid forming like traditional power plants. However, grid forming inverters are a solved problem at this point. If grid operators want a large solar or wind farm to be grid forming, it is a relatively low cost to make it so.
I just bought a set of new tires for $115 each (including installation). But that involved shopping around and not using the manufacturer recommended tires. The dealership wanted around $300 per tire.
