They don’t use that much water through cooling. Or rather, evaporative cooling is rarely used because it’s unreliable outside of dry, desert climates.

Rather, most of the water footprint comes from electricity generation (e.g. coal, gas, nuclear) which evaporate freshwater to spin turbines.

Normal radiators are the goto option to cool down heated water which can then be re-used.

I believe (not a lawyer or expert in that field) that this does not cover covert and targeted filming.

I’d argue it’s there to allow TV to make background shots and perform interviews without trouble.

Yeah, isn’t that the point of the lawsuit? That this exact clause is challenged in court?

Yeah, it has the same vibe as:

“Bernie Sanders proposes bill to give US-Americans 50% stake in military contractors.”

Did they actually do anything beyond using goldberg fork? Haven’t heard that “DenuvOwO” ever did anything special, I mean, they even have a Discord server

Changing the TOS is explicitly allowed. You can refuse to accept the changes but then the company has the right to end their relationship with you (i.e. terminate your account).

There are also strict limits. Something like: “Your account may be terminated for any unspecified reason” is illegal, I’m pretty sure.

And the recent DSA of the EU has further limited social media company’s rights to terminate accounts. I believe they must provide a way to fight terminations and listen to your arguments. Other countries may have similar laws but I cannot speak for them.

Banning clickthrough contracts would genuinely break large parts of the internet though. No more online purchases for one, including anything from Steam to Amazon.

It’s much more complicated than that. Social media platforms have a TOS that binds them just as much as the user. It’s literally just a contract.

The social media company also has much more limited rights to terminate such a contract than the user. At least that’s the case in countries with any consumer protection.

That’s how YouTubers at least in Germany have successfully forced YouTube to reinstate their channel. YouTube failed to prove a violation of their TOS, therefore the contract termination was null and void, therefore the contract is still valid.

There is no contract when you have entered a restaurant. After you ordered your food, there is a contract and you cannot be kicked out for arbitrary reasons anymore. If you are kicked out for no reason, you can sue for damages (but you cannot force the restaurant to enter any new contracts with you, e.g. another meal).

To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.

Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

Ah, that makes a bit more sense.

Maximum body temperature should be pretty obvious - at least with one or two degrees (Celsius) of wiggle room.

Though, with minimum body temperature, do you mean minimum while conscious or minimum survivable? Because there have been cases where people were successfully resuscitated after being submerged in freezing water for a very long time:

An 8-year-old boy fell through pond ice and was submerged for ≥147 minutes. Nadir peripheral body temperature was 7 °C (45 °F). After rewarming with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, prolonged hospitalization, and neurorehabilitation, the child recovered.

At 6-month follow-up, he was giving short commands, standing without support, riding a tricycle, eating soft foods, and relearning simple tasks.

Humans are mostly water though.

And your scale makes even less sense because you are ignoring time and air moisture (for the maximum temperature). You would probably die very quickly in a 120°C hot sauna if it had 100% moisture.

Same with the cold: I’d not survive much longer than a minute in -50°C without clothes but with adequate protection several hours seems possible.

Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.

If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

Oh no, the workers have weapons! Anyways…

Marx died shortly after front-loaded muskets were replaced by the earliest rifles. You know, guns so terrible, a worker and trained soldier were somewhat matched.

From what I’ve heard, small arms were plenty available to civilians during the siege of Sarajevo. Yet they were absolutely worthless because it turns out modern soldiers are several orders of magnitude better equipped and deadly.

Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

For the record, Google returns it as the top result.

Reason #186729 why it’s insane to have no right to privacy in public.

Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.

Bing/DDG have a lot of weird censorship.

“Shapedo” and “Sharkpedo” both work btw.

What do you mean?

Cars just do that sometimes.

Could it make testing less conclusive? Part of testing is to see whether people actually enjoy the game. And I’d conjecture immersion-breaking placeholder assets could lead to worse testing reviews.

The opposite, you have a right to privacy even after being sentenced. Such a registry sounds like it would drastically increase recidivism rates by making you unemployable and unable to form a social life.
