Taiwan is de facto an independent state. They have their own customs (as in economy), their own military and their own independent government.

No one officially recognizes it as independent because - as it turns out - neither China has any interest in changing the status quo. It is however very much implicitly recognized as independent considering trade deals made with mainland China do not affect trade deals with Taiwan and vice versa.

For all intents and purposes, Taiwan is more of a country than England but you'll find hardly anyone argue that England does not have countryhood.

"aber es war eben noch die Übergangsstufe des Sozialismus."

Ja wer kennts nicht. Wie einst Marx schrieb:

"Bringe jeden um, der auch nur ansatzweise in der Lage ist deine Alleinherschaft in Frage zu stellen. Lieber zu viel als zu wenig Gemetzel. Hör erst auf, wenn die Wirtschaft durch hunderttausende Tode am abkacken ist und behaupte jetzt seien alle reaktionäre Elemente entfernt."

Funnily enough you do get a fine over here, if the police catch you and it would've been safe to stop.

It's a whopping 10€.

Boo! That's just steel with a thin copper layer on top!!

It's not even bad copper, it's literally just a scam.

Behold! A child riding a quadcycle!

Look at the size of that needle and you'll understand.

Oh, you're right. I used the Wikipedia article as source and it said:

Distribution of this use among sectors was: thermoelectric power generation 66.2%, manufacturing 13.6%, residential 9.0%, agriculture 4.7%, commercial and institutional 2.7%, water treatment and distribution systems 2.3%, mining 1.1%, and oil and gas extraction 0.5%.

Yet the previous sentence said this was about Canada. Whoops.

Though in Europe and North America, where a big chunk of data centers are typically built, agriculture tends to have a lower share with industry (including but not limited to power generation) having a bigger one:

Typically? Maybe in some arid climates without humidity but try using evaporative cooling during a thunderstorm and you'll find your data center shutting down from overheating.

~~70%~~ A large part of water usage in industrial nations comes from electricity generation. That's where data centers consume most of their water.

Edit: 70% is only true for Canada, globally agriculture consumes more. The US for example has ~40% each for agriculture and power generation.

Dieser Haushalt hat das alles auch und gibt aber gleichzeitig noch 18€/Monat für eine Sähkiste aus...

Sadly that's not it, I was using offline maps.

I'm not entirely sure what's the exact issue, but it only really occurs when trying to change LoD quickly. E.g. clicking on an inter-city bus route and zooming out to see it in its entirety or zooming back in. From 10 km to 500 m can take 3-4 seconds which is enough to feel sluggish if you're doing it often.

Probably not the most popular use case but it can get frustrating after a while nonetheless

He never said that. This quote is from William Pannapacker, a professor of American literature at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.
