I think it's probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it's 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it's despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.
I would like to add that the way movies use raytracing (usually called path tracing in that context) is very different from how games use raytracing. While animated movies will simulate every ray of light to create the entire image, games use raytracing typically only for reflections and global illumination, while the rest of the image is still rendered using traditional techniques. (I'm no expert, though I have spent a bunch of time using Blender and playing around with Minecraft Raytracing mods)
Pure water, by itself, is non conductive IIRC. It only becomes conductive if there is stuff dissolved in it, like with tap water where there are small amounts of minerals in the water.
Exactly this. I use Signal for people close to me and SMS or Email for those who don't use signal, who I don't have coversations with often anyways. Dispite it's many, many flaws, I will use SMS before I use a Meta messenger.
This is my dream setup for messaging as well. My problem is that I would not trust 3rd parties to host this setup, but I also have not gotten around to setting it up myself lol.
I seldom install windows, so I also have to relearn some things during the debloat. At 10 minutes, you are basically speedrunning the windows installation process lol.
I've seen the EZS8L with a spout on top for us bottle filling homies. 😎️
