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.

Hand glove? Gibts denn auch non-hand gloves? Shoe gloves? Head gloves? Ich glaub die nennt man aber Socke bzw. Mütze…

I never claimed it was specific to Latin? You can see it with the example of Copernicus that it was Latinized, Polonized (?) and Modern-Standard-Germanized.

Franz Liszt is called Liszt Ferenc in Hungarian. That’s because Ferenc is the Hungarian variant of Franz and Hungarian names are spelled backwards for some reason.

I could provide so many more options where people were given several names because they did not live in a monolingual region.

In Czech, women’s last names take on the -ová suffix. Even if they aren’t Czech, didn’t speak Czech or never set a foot into Czechia. For example: Hillary Clintonová

I frankly don’t care enough about what languages do to names. If the intent is to wipe out other cultures then it’s obviously bad. Like colonizing Brits did with native landmarks (e.g. Uluru -> Ayer’s Rock). If the intent is to adjust the name to a cultures grammar, pronunciation or similar, I couldn’t care less.

We did not do it with “Türkiye”. Also note that ü is a different letter from u, not just a u with decoration.

The Turkish government requested international organizations to refer to Turkey that way:

In May 2022, the Turkish government requested the United Nations and other international organizations to use Türkiye officially in English.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey

Everyone else continues to call it Turkey, especially newspapers. It’s why the Wikipedia article continues to be called “Turkey”. Neither me nor you are a country or international organization.

Same with Ivory Coast and its official name “Côte d’Ivoire”.

Nah, I’m arguing only to keep old and established names only. It makes in my opinion little sense to start referring to the one’s I mentioned as Kong Qiu, de Nostredame, or Koppernigk.

Feel free to use whatever name you like. Whether you choose to use the romanized or established latinized name is none of anyone’s business.
