You did the right thing. I’m not disputing that.

I’m saying it’s a very different thing from people who self-diagnose psychological issues or other diseases, without confirming with a doctor.

You didn’t go “I have a brain tumour, where’s the surgeon”, you persisted in getting a proper diagnosis from a doctor who finally did the right tests.

That’s not really self-diagnosis is it? Self-diagnosis would be you already claiming there was a tumour before doctors found something.

Knowing something off is not diagnosing yourself.

Nuclear can’t be built fast enough to fill the gap. It’s likely better long-term to invest in additional renewables + gas plants instead, until the gas can be phased out as well. It’s still fossil for a bit, but since nuclear nearly always is over time and well beyond budget, it’s likely to be a net greener option. Gas is pretty cheap and above all very flexible, making it more suitable for baseline power than nuclear.

You’re absolutely correct, and few people realise this. They think “baseline = stable power”, but that’s not what you need. You need a quick and cheap way to scale up production when renewables don’t produce enough. On a sunny, windy day, renewables already produce more than 100% of needs in some countries. At that point, the ‘baseline’ needs to shut down so that this cheap energy can be used instead. The baseline really is a stable base demand, but the supply has to be very flexible instead (due to the relative instability of solar and wind, the cheapest sources available).

Nuclear reactors can shut down quite quickly these days, but starting them back up is slow. But worse, nuclear is quite expensive, and maintaining a plant in standby mode not producing anything is just not economically feasible. Ergo, nuclear is terrible for a baseline power source (bar any future technological breakthroughs).

To add to this, the university decided to suspend him. The court did also order him to pay a fine to the victim.

I mean honestly, why would you at this point? Damage’s already been done, drawing attention to her again would only make things worse.

She’s not going to prison, she gets an ankle monitor and house arrest I believe.

Rheinmetall was founded in 1889. The NSDAP was founded after the 1st world war. There’s literally no way Nazis founded Rheinmetall because it predates Nazism by about thirty years.

But isn’t that part of making the reader explore and experience the world of magic, just like Harry is? There’s no narrator here who already knows everything, you’re experiencing the stories through the eyes of Harry, and only really know what he knows. In that context, it doesn’t really make sense to have these early clues. The reader can’t anticipate everything because Harry can’t either.

Magic in general is just a plot device that can do whatever the author needs it to do.

I’m pretty sure Olivander already mentions when Harry chooses his wand that it’s basically a twin of Voldemort’s, and in the subsequent books it’s explained that that + Lily’s magic is causing plenty of weird things to happen, including what happens in book 4. Sure, the exact reason why it happens is still “magic” but that goes for most magic systems if you delve deep enough.

Mostly the photography market as far as I know, those raw images take up a lot of space.

Pretty sure the reasoning behind that was given in book 1.

Tuta would also be required to implement a backdoor in their encryption if this law passes. In this post they’ve stated they will refuse to do so, because it’s not possible.

Unfortunately the bare minimum is in most cases already enough to uniquely fingerprint you.

Not really. The “fingerprint” is not one thing, it’s many, e.g. what fonts are installed, what extensions are used, screen size, results of drawing on a canvas, etc… Most of this stuff is also in some way related to the regular operation of a website, so many of these can’t be blocked.

You could maybe spoof all these things, but some websites may stop behaving correctly.
