China owns a lot of our debt, but probably what country doesn't own a lot of our debt?
Alright, sorry, I should've been clearer: I do intend to eat the pickles. I'm not doing a logic puzzle.
Carriers weren't used that extensively because there wasn't a big ol' German surface fleet sitting there that would be ideally pounded upon by aircraft. Submarines were used heavily in the Pacific, though; they practically destroyed Japanese shipping. Funny how you never really hear about that.Two questions:
-During WWII, why weren't carriers used extensively in the Atlantic theatre, and conversely, why weren't submarines used extensively in the Pacific theatre?

Yes, that's also true.Also carriers close to multiple overlapping land-based airfields are in a very weak position.
Mhm. There was a project to create aircraft carriers out of icebergs, but it never worked out.GinandTonic said:Small and jury-rigged carriers did cover the "mid adlantic gap" IIRC.

How hard is it to master English spelling compared to other written languages?
Yes, the French would not be happy with that, but thank God we don't have an English Academy--that would stifle English's strength, which is its versatility.
I would consider English spelling easier than character script like Chinese though.
If you have the following equations:
a=h/x
b=h/(d+x)
and you know the values of d, a, and b, but don't know the value of x, how would you solve for h?
h=ax
b=h/(d+x)
b(d+x) = h
ax = b(d+x)
ax = bd + bx
ax - bx = bd
x(a-b) = bd
x = (bd)/(a-b)
so than solve for h in a=h/x
i haven't taken math for a while, tell me if that helps.
