I doubt this would work. The sun runs on hydrogen fusion. Adding water is just adding fuel to fire.

I don't know about other jurisdictions, but German websites are legally required to have some info including postal address about who owns the site, called impressum.

I think US firms have a similar requirement for the licence agreement? Not sure about thid.

What about Contact_EAHelp@ea.com?

They are already using the Windows recovery disk. This is not about accessing the disk, but to access the OS with admin rights.

Cats are the dominant species. Well, actually ants, but cats are a close second.

While I do explicitely not disagree with you, TDS is more likely to become a totally not made up medical condition suitable for persecuting political opponents developing remedies for affected citizens than MDS.

And no, The Onion is not involved.

Thank you.

If deporting him turns out not to work, perhaps admitting to psychiatry because of Trump Derangement Syndrom would?

defending education or defunding it?

Yes. Just a couple of centuries earlier, so your point still stands.

What's the story of the Alpaca farms?

They ousted all Jewish and all politically non-compliant scientists. They were interested in science, that's true, and according to their world view, eliminating "inferior" scientist should have enhanced the quality of the science done by "superior pure blooded Aryan Übermenschen".

While still being pro-science, they did cripple their scientific community on ideologic grounds. The communist regimes did the same.

MAGA being outright anti-science, the effect will be far more devastating.

The Handmaid's Tale was a premptive documentary.

Otorhinolaryngology was born in the 1850s, though, not 1700s.

Taint is a bit inaccurate, I'd say. It's actually "Schamlippen". "Scham" meaning "shame" and was also used as an innocuous or rather less derogatory word to refer to this area of the female body that may not be spoken of. "Outer and inner shame lips" just stuck and is the colloquial expression for labia majora and minora.

There is the gutenprint project supplying drivers for a lot of older printer models.

Happy birthday!

No, you don't use dirty water, you use clean water.

Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn't be able to rinse it off, either.

They did not use coal back then – I'm not sure whether it was even known to the Mediterranean culture. Forests were plundered for shipbuilding. Crude oil was only available as naphtha in the Middle East, barely enough for the local fishermen to pitch there boats and for the Byzantines to use in their flamethrowers. Furthermore, crude oil was not used in steam engines — you cannot shovel a heep of oil under a kettle. Fuel existed, yes, but they had no access to it.

All it would have needed is fixing the steam exhaust and have it drive a shoveled wheel.

So a completely different machine? Shoveled wheels were invented centuries after Heron. Even if they played with such a setup – an open, non-pressurized turbine has no usable power. To use steam, you'll have to pressurize it, and the technology to tame high pressure was only developed to build cannons that do not burst.

In the history of the steam engine, the fuel supply was available before the engine. IIRC, Watt's incentive for the invention of the steam engine was the need to drain coal mines.

Herons steam "engine" had no power whatsoever and was not scalable. And even if it would have been scalable, they had had no fuel to drive it.
