Dude, they would have been literally running around naked before.

If anything, they became more conservative. ;-)

Never happened with geese to me, but our local swans in attack mode got me running backwards more than once.

Hissing spread-winged furies out to kill you, or at least knock and bite the living soul out of you…

Would have expected the article to refer to that, as the concept is quite similar.

Instead it mentioned Roman hypocausts as an example, which in reality are actually considered one of the first types of central heating, so somewhat the opposite of what they were trying to get at in the article…

Modern, probably even more sustainable equivalent, would be heated seats and heating blankets.

Communal heating is the defacto standard throughout most of Russia.
And, as a person also living in a city district with communal heating, I can assure you that the typical (or even mandatory) type of heating does indeed very often depend on which city it is in.

But perhaps you are confused about the terminology: heating beds or rooms directly with the combustibles is the opposite of central heating…

I am pretty sure they have central heating, though.

Me neither, before I saw the first feathered life-size replicas in dino parks.

And I have to say, they were somehow way more scary than their naked counterparts in my opinion.

So now I am Team Feather!

Not mentioning the country in the post was such a ridiculously obvious case of US-defaultism that at first I thought it to be engagement baiting, before I saw your other comment.
So actually quite funny :-)

Country?
I assumed federal state, as 2028 are elections here in Bavaria. ;-)

Exactly.
If they just stuck to their core premises and cut the fringe topics, they would be an instant vote!

Democratic system is still not perfect here, but yes, orders of magnitude better than the broken two-party US election system OP probably had in mind…

As always, under no circumstances CSU or AFD.
As social Democrats are nearly nonexistant in Bavaria and did a lot of shit in the higher tiers, probably “die Grünen”.
I am still not very fond of the left-wing “die Linke”

l just did a quadruple take before I finally got it…

Wait, how do you guys pronounce “uranium”?

l am German and have learned French as my second foreign language.
French’s two genders are slightly nightmarish and German’s three genders are no better.
Similar for the slavish languages with genders I had a peak into. I expected this to also be similar for Spanish, at least compared to English that I perceived to be quite easy to learn.
Interesting to hear otherwise.
So I now wish that Spanish had been an option at my schools. :-)

l am German and I had the same impression. English was silly easy to learn (I may still have a slightly harsh pronunciatian, though).
No gender-dependent conjugations and the grammatical exceptions are sparse (mainly a few special cases around the tenses).
But learning French, another dual-gendered latin language: total nightmare.
So my surprise that Spanish is supposed to be easier to learn than the already quite easy English language…

Stay tuned for more solid investment advice by your reliably honest business partner Ea Nasir!

Why would Spanish be easier than English?
I would judge it to be slightly harder because of gendered words.

Can I please just have a handful of RAM and enough ports to connect my stuff?

I am living in Germany, which has one of the stronger privacy protection laws.

But this was
a) more than 20 years ago
b) considered public data (distributed to every household in printed form any way), so the privacy laws of the time didn’t apply.

The only legal disputes I remember were over questions of copyright for the entries in the phonebooks.

Just checked: at least one of the services still exists and works exactly as I described it before:
