This law prohibits you from doing that without reporting it. You'd have report that anyway, when filing your taxes, so apart from some extra admin work, that's not much of an extra hurdle, assuming it honest money. If you receive

Anekdotal, but I know someone who has an orchard just beneath a win turbine. Trees grow just fine, and in general ground windspeed does not seem affected. The most significant downside seems to be that staff dislikes the constant whoosh-who

The answer to a factual question is not copyrightable, so while you may have moral problems with that, there is no legal argument. The same applies to all realistic use-cases for copilot by the way. Whatever is produces is not copyrightable

All public-facing sites I've ever worked on, used that header for its intended purpose. Europe has a lot of different languages in a relatively small area, so if you want to do ecommerce there, you'll really need it.

If your oven can give you a fatal dose of anything in seconds, I recommend replacing it ASAP. Sticking your hand in a food-grade oven will not give you burns. When you touch the insides, you will receive second degree burns, but those burns
