Many forms of powerplants use these types of cooling towers.
The real reason usually is, that they make really impressive plumes though. Just makes for a good visual even though it's not technically a relevant image.
I guess so, also it puts into perspective, how big a feef is. It would have to be 1/4 of the Earth's circumference.
Or maybe they are standing on a smaller sphere.
If they were even close, there would have been nothing left of Gaza after the first three days. Everyone that managed to survive somehow would be in concentration camps already.
So yeah, not even close. Still bad tho...
That's no argument against them being god. It is an argument against that gods omnipotence tho.
Or more precisely, argument against the very idea of omnipotence.
En, I don't know. So much innovation has happened because of parent workarounds.
Also they can kind of stop big companies just completely copying some innovation and driving the inventor out of businesses
It's pretty apparent in the 3d printing industry. Companies like Prusa, E3d, Ultimaker, MakerBot and Aleph-Objects brought consumer 3d printing from basically a hot glue gun to better than some $100k+ industry machines. All of them used to be completely open sourced. Ok, MakerBot and to some degree Ultimaker just went off the deep end, but Prusa is now also holding back their design files for a while after release, E3d has released their new hotend as basically closed Source. Why? Well they want to avoid going the path of Aleph-Objects who had to sell out to a holding company because Chinese manufacturers copied everything as fast as it could be developed and sold it for a fraction of the price.
I'd love if it didn't have to be this way, but it kind of does now.
Edit: if near monopolies like intel AMD and Nvidia would have to give up their parents the world would most definitely be a more innovative place :D
Nah, I'll make my own meaning, thanks. Yours isn't nearly interesting enough.
