Geothermal heat provides less than 0.1% of the total heat of our planet. It is pretty much all just the sun. So as long as the output of the sun does not change much it won't be a problem (so will have to wait billions of years and eve

For YouTube that is how the law (DMCA) is written. If they took a more active role they would probably lose the safe harbor protections and get sued into oblivion.

Took me 17 days last time. A couple days for the claim to go trough the court and 14 days of time for them to pay. After that as they did not during the next bank day the court took control of their bank account and wired me the money. This

If you are the only debtor and they have the money (no need to sell anything) then it is actually really fast. The court just takes over the bank accounts and sends you the money. The real slowness of the process kicks in when there are mul

Seems like a really complex system to get your money. Here in Finland you would just start bankruptcy procedures by filing a claim in the court and with the court order saying they owe you it would go through in a day or two giving the othe

Cats (as in the pet kind) kill way more bird than windmills will ever manage to. In the US alone over 2 billion every year. As others have pointed out bats are actually much more in danger of windmills then birds. And they got lots of other

Not 100% sure about Estonia but at least here in Finland mortgages are usually some margin + Euribor. Maybe with optional cap on max interest rate (that usually pushes the margin up to compensate). If you manage to get a fixed rate it is us

> Lightning is physically thinner than USB-C. The thinnest smartphones on the market currently are all USB-C phones so that does not really seem to be an issue. These are a good 2mm thinner then the thinnest iPhone ever made.

Even devices that charge with a cable do not need USB-C if they are too small to physically fit a USB-C port. Though at that point they wont fit a Lightning port either but instead some weird exposed charging pins or wireless charging.

Not really as there basically is only one big defense treaty in the form of NATO. For it to be similar there would have to be 2 or 3 defense treaties of roughly the same size/strength which Russia does not come anywhere close to.

The invasion of Sweden would most likely be limited to taking over Gotland to control the Baltic sea north of it. (Think Crimea not the full scale invasion of Ukraine)
