Maybe op asked for physical area to fit into country, since we’re specifying ambiguous part

Nobody knows the limit
I’m not sure, but let’s say that’s true. They usually also don’t care to know the limits. Another interesting case is Patricia Stallings (emphasis mine):
an American woman who was wrongfully convicted of murder after the death of her son Ryan on September 7, 1989. Because testing seemed to indicate an elevated level of ethylene glycol in Ryan’s blood, authorities suspected antifreeze poisoning, and arrested Stallings the next day. She was convicted of murder in early 1991, and sentenced to life in prison.
Stallings gave birth to another child while incarcerated awaiting trial; this next child was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that can mimic antifreeze poisoning. Prosecutors initially did not believe that the sibling’s diagnosis had anything to do with Ryan’s case. Stallings’ lawyer was forbidden from producing available evidence as proof of the possibility. After a professor in biochemistry and molecular biology had some of Ryan’s blood samples tested, he was able to prove that the child had also died from MMA, and not from ethylene glycol poisoning.

Not exactly on topic, but depending on the phone hardware, GameNative may allow to run PC games. I think, it’s worth mentioning because hardware becomes more performant, and emulation support improves over time, and I didn’t expect to be able to play something from Steam on my phone, and yet recently I started doing just that (in my case it’s Slay the Princess, the game is great, but doesn’t fit the bill of what you’re looking for)

I read in another place that Japan was the fourth to launch a satellite in February of 1970, it looks like that other article means ‘launched using their own rocktet’, and Canada launched 8 years earlier than Japan using NASA rocket

What you’re saying is B stems from A, and A causes C therefore we can say B causes C. But it is correlation, not causation and a pretty surprising thing to say

As far as I remember, there is some browser with a feature of stripping tracking id from the URL, that is modification, but I find it good (if I can opt in, and if the feature is visible enough to know what to try if it doesn’t work)

If this apparent relationship between flares and decay rates proves true, it could lead to a method of predicting solar flares prior to their occurrence
So, can we predict the flares now? I’ve taken a look at Ephraim Fischbach’s articles and it seems that we’re very far from that, so the article you linked is interesting but overstates the facts by a lot. This is what I found the best explanation so far:
Some experiments seem to yield strong evidence of variability of beta-decay rates, but other experiments may show little or no such evidence. Some recent experiments help clarify the situation. In particular, a certain oscillation appears in neutrino measurements made at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory and in radon beta-decay measurements made at the Geological Survey of Israel, with identical frequency (9.43 years ⁻¹ ), amplitude and phase, strengthening the case for an influence of neutrinos on beta decays. A review of current experimental information leads us to suggest that 1) beta-decay rates do not change, but 2) the angular distribution of decay products may be anisotropic, and 3) the angular distribution of decay products may be influenced by the ambient neutrino flux. It appears that experiments at standards laboratories tend to be insensitive to direction, and this may be the reason that they tend not to exhibit evidence of variability.
And even this I would take with a grain of salt
