Eh, voting is free, library cards are not (over here).

The police don’t hunt you down unless the victim filed a criminal complaint with them first. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antragsdelikt

Except for politicians, for some reason they’re exempt though there seem to be plans to change this because it’s incredibly unpopular.

it’s a civil violation

Over here it’s very much a criminal offense, so this only applies to some countries.

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

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.

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.

Nope. Assume the chair fits at most C clothes, with C being a constant.

The efficiency is at worst O© = O(C * 1) = C * O(1) = O(1).

Sure, the more clothes are on top, the longer it takes. But Big O notation is only useful if the N gets very big. And considering that the naximum amount of clothes is likely very small, it can be treated as O(1).

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.”

Why would an optional field have a default value? Shouldn’t it just be unset?

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

Thank god the East Germans did not have systemic sexual abuse of children. Phew.

That’s why you join private trackers.

My seedbox is easily downloading at 2 Gbit/s. I assume that’s an HDD hardware limit, it’s a shared 40 Gbit connection actually.

Damn, it’s almost like torrenting works exactly the same way.

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).

Adoption in English speaking countries only. Why is adoption equally terrible internationally if the name is to blame?

Seriously, the ONLY reason I actually know gimp has other meanings is because of discussions of the program.

Anything below 10°F is actively dangerous. Anything above 110°F is actively dangerous.

NYC barely ever reaches 0°F according to this site:

https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/new-york/lowest-temperatures-by-year

Seriously, NYC is closer to having regular 100°F weather than 0°F and it is in the Northern US!

In other terms: -18°C is extremely fucking cold, 38°C is just regular hot.
