Boo! That’s just steel with a thin copper layer on top!!

It’s not even bad copper, it’s literally just a scam.

Behold! A child riding a quadcycle!

Look at the size of that needle and you’ll understand.

Oh, you’re right. I used the Wikipedia article as source and it said:

Distribution of this use among sectors was: thermoelectric power generation 66.2%, manufacturing 13.6%, residential 9.0%, agriculture 4.7%, commercial and institutional 2.7%, water treatment and distribution systems 2.3%, mining 1.1%, and oil and gas extraction 0.5%.

Yet the previous sentence said this was about Canada. Whoops.

Though in Europe and North America, where a big chunk of data centers are typically built, agriculture tends to have a lower share with industry (including but not limited to power generation) having a bigger one:

Typically? Maybe in some arid climates without humidity but try using evaporative cooling during a thunderstorm and you’ll find your data center shutting down from overheating.

70% A large part of water usage in industrial nations comes from electricity generation. That’s where data centers consume most of their water.

Edit: 70% is only true for Canada, globally agriculture consumes more. The US for example has ~40% each for agriculture and power generation.

Dieser Haushalt hat das alles auch und gibt aber gleichzeitig noch 18€/Monat für eine Sähkiste aus…

Sadly that’s not it, I was using offline maps.

I’m not entirely sure what’s the exact issue, but it only really occurs when trying to change LoD quickly. E.g. clicking on an inter-city bus route and zooming out to see it in its entirety or zooming back in. From 10 km to 500 m can take 3-4 seconds which is enough to feel sluggish if you’re doing it often.

Probably not the most popular use case but it can get frustrating after a while nonetheless

My problem with OsmAnd is that it’s so very slow. Like, you zoom in and it takes seconds to display the map.

To be honest, EU politicians aren’t idiots. Mostly.

It’s such an easy thing to implement and it would significantly increase pro-EU sentiment and democratic participation of young people.

And the only one’s who are being “harmed” are foreign companies (and Ubisoft). Gaming also does not have an all-powerful lobby.

It’s such an easy win for EU politicians, they’d have to be as out-of-touch as British MPs to not seize that opportunity.

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.

It costs an arm and a leg! Or two.

Yup.

And while the monarchist EU countries do stamp their monarchs on their coins, there’s more than enough decent and interestin people on other country’s variants.

Like Austria stamping Mozart and Bertha von Suttner (first female recipient of the Nobel Peace Price).

Or Croatia putting up Nikola Tesla, a Serb from Croatia, on some of their coins, likely to provoke Serbia. Or perhaps to symbolize unity between Croatians and Serbians but I frankly doubt that.

Or France recently creating coins with three important French women on the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins: Simone Veil, Josephine Baker, and Marie Curie.

Greece put up a couple people who were instrumental in Greek’s fight for independence and, more notably to Europe as a whole, the mythical Princess Europa riding on Zeus - the literal symbol of pan-Europeanism is on Greek’s 2€ coin.

And that’s just a sample, there’s even more. Largely (ignoring the monarchies) people who genuinely deserve to be looked up to - or at least respected - are on the coins that have a person on them.

Ja, das ist sicher sinnvoll.

Ich war und bin noch immer einfach zu faul das alles zu lernen, mehr als Domain mit Zertifikat -> IP + Port musste ich noch nie machen und dafür ist NginxProxyManager meiner Meinung nach ideal.

Kennst du Nginx-Proxy-Manager?

Kann zwar bei weitem nicht so viel wie nginx oder Caddy, ist aber unendlich einfacher zum aufsetzen.

Lucario. Even mentioned on their Wikipedia page:

Patricia Hernandez, in an examination of the furry fandom, stated Lucario was the most popular Pokémon for the subset dedicated to the franchise’s characters.[45] Meanwhile, the Pokémon has also been cited as one of the most frequently utilized in erotic works by the fandom and furry pornography,[46] with a June 2023 study of such content on Rule 34 websites, such as e621, Rule 34.xxx, and Sankaku Channel, noting a significantly higher volume of material compared to characters from most other franchises, and the highest of characters from the Pokémon franchise as a whole.

Speed cameras shouldn’t record all the time?

Just make them use radar (or lidar) and snap a picture if a car is going too fast. Zero privacy issues with that.

Look. I’m not media illiterate and know the difference between a game telling a story, simulating something, and promoting something.

Hearts of Iron IV is not a nazi game despite a lot of them playing it.

The Yakuza/Mafia series do not encourage people to join their respective, still existing, criminal organization.

Plague Inc does not advocate for the destruction of humanity.

Plantation Simulator however does not criticize anything about skavery. It’s nothing but a mockery. An equivalent would be if KZ Manager was about providing free housing and labor opportunities for various Holocaust victims.

If you make fun of historic crimes against humanities, your game is designed for those who support that crime.

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.

Ibn Sina -> Avicenna seems to sound similar though, but I can’t speak Latin or Arabic.

At least the cenna and Sina part, you can see they’re related. The people Latinizing the name did not just roll a die I presume and had respect for the people who came up with something. It’s why algorithm and algebra are both directly from Arabic, algorithm from the guy who wrote this book:

The Concise Book of Calculation by Restoration and Balancing (Arabic: الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة, al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah; or Latin: Liber Algebræ et Almucabola)

Al-Jabr

At least in my opinion the Latinization does not seek to hide the fact it’s Arabic. In fact, it just takes (directly) untranslatable Arabic terms and puts them into Latin.

It is not certain just what the terms al-jabr and muqabalah mean.

No idea how “Ibn -> Avi” makes sense though, I’d be surprised if it was done with any hostile intent though.

The US prefers to be called “America” yet I still don’t call them by that name either.

I don’t need to abide by what some fascist Turk says you should call their country or not.

Maybe once Turkey stops trying to wipe out the Kurds I’ll respect what far-right Turkish nationalists want that country to be called.
