Probably all eastern block states. I know its true for example for East Germany.

Vinegar is perfectly fine for that. With a bigger amount of minerals you just need more vinegar and time.

You are technically right that the water heater softens the water a bit by precipitating the minerals around the heating element and thereby removing them from the water. But that is energy inefficient and expensive, since you normally don't use a water heater to soften your water but rather to get warm water. So putting another system in front of the heater that softens it first is better than replacing the heat element every so often.

Correct, they bought the rights to the movie to not have to continually pay royalties for it.

Yep, definitely not usable for a decentralized power grid. All those wasted PV cells on all those homes which now generate most of their used electricity themselves. Too bad that doesn't work.

All atoms higher than hydrogen come from stars. So in the end, everything is derived from fusion. Therefore, geothermal and fission can only exist because of nuclear fusion.

It is very much the motto this idiot lives by. He just wasn't the first to coin that phrase.

And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don't you do that?

Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.

Yeah, that was a strange moment. Those in the company being for Altman, I can understand. They expected big returns of investment from keeping him around. But the outsiders on the internet cheering him on? Felt like Elon Musk in the beginning again. And yes I also fell for his engineer persona in the beginning. But I learned from that.

Nope from me, I only get a blank page.

Yeah, that is the complete opposite of what the other comment said.

What they said:

  • There are non-religious people who celebrate holidays with religious background
  • there are other religious holidays who are only celebrated by the really religious

You provided a good example of the first case, that even non practicing Jews celebrate some holidays, same as many book Christians are celebrating Christmas.

I mean... that description is not far from the truth! Many small baby magnets created by two big magnets smashing together.
