It makes sense in war, since people need normalcy. Partaking in Ramadan is a nice grounding thing to do when everything else is exploding, and other normal traditions aren't on the table. Religion is good for that.
Plus, Ramadan traditionally has exclusions if you're not able to safely partake, like if you're very old, very young, or ill. At worst, you simply have to pray for forgiveness for breaking your fast early (similar to if someone made you eat pork without your consent), and make up for it later.
If it wasn't for the whole forcing people thing, they probably would.
Their tech is much better, and you get as close to immortality as you can get, since your body is maintained by their tech, and your mind gets added to the hivemind.
Short of death, you'd never have a medical problem again.
Out of memory/overheating in 60k rows? I've had a few multi-million row databases that could fit into a few gigs of memory, and most modern machines have that much in RAM. A 60k query that overheats the machine might only happen if you're doing something weird with joins.
Plus a lot of reads is nothing really, for basically all databases, unless you're doing an unsmart thing with how you're reading it (like scanning the whole database over and over). If you're not processing the data, it'd be I/O bottlenecked.
In my experience, the only time that I've taxed a drive when doing a database query is either when dumping it, or with SQLite's vacuum, which copies the whole thing.
For a pretty simple search like OP seems to be doing, the indices should have taken care of basically all the heavy lifting.
Hard Drives might do it if the enclosure is poorly designed (no ventilation), but I can't imagine a situation where it would overheat like that that quickly, even in a sealed box. 30k is nothing in database terms, and if their query was that heavy, it would bottleneck on the CPU, and barely heat the drive at all.
Unless the database was designed by someone who only knows of data as that robot from Star Trek, most would be absolutely fine with 60k rows. I wouldn't be surprised if the machine they're using caches that much in RAM alone.
Unless they actually mean the hard drive, and not the computer. I've definitely had a cheap enclosure overheat and drop out on me before when trying to seek the drive a bunch, although it's more likely the enclosure's own electronics overheating. Unless their query was rubbish, a simple database scan/search like that should be fast, and not demanding in the slightest. Doubly so if it's dedicated, and not using some embedded thing like SQLite. A few dozen thousand queries should be basically nothing.
"Cherry picking" is also a form of selective arguing, where someone will laser focus on one tiny part of the data, even if the rest of it says things contrary to their point.
So, if I had data saying that 70% of people who trod on landmines died immediately, 25% experienced loss of at least one limb, 2.5% were unharmed, and 2.5% were unaccounted for, a Cherry-picker might argue that landmine hopscotch is completely safe, since only 25% of people lost a limb, and a portion of people were completely unharmed.
Edit: and also the little transparent bit where you see how much water is inside. Hard to make that out of plastic or wood. The electrical cable also contains plastic but that seems important.
A lot of the small windows have them be made of plastic, with or without a little plastic bead in them.
It's the bigger ones where basically the whole kettle is clear that have it be made of glass.
Edit edit: Now that I think about it, a 100% metal electric kettle sounds terrifying.
Either that, or it will stop working very quickly. The only way I could see a kettle like that working is if the kettle itself was completely inert, and it had an induction base that went along with it.
This doesn't really sound like a revolutionary use case
It's basically the same as a non-LLM voice assistant.
Maybe an LLM query ran faster than doing a search in a map tool, but by how much?
Can't be that much, since someone could pull up the satellite navigation on their phone, to much the same effect these days. At most it saves maybe a minute.
ATP basically packages the energy, like wires, or the battery.
But the power-house/generator that makes them would be the mitochondria under most circumstances, since one of the main mechanisms to do that lies within the mitochondria.

Does it count as user error if the user has to micromanage the compiler?
