Apparently, wood ignites at around 260 °C, so I guess it could - technically - burn wood (and itself in the process, possibly).

Here’s why it’s okay to block ads in even simpler terms: It’s my fucking computer.

More or less. In my layman’s understanding: Black holes ‘evaporate’ slowly through Hawking radiation, losing mass as a function of their surface area (simplistically, particle/anti-particle pairs ‘pop out of nothing’ near the event horizon, one gets swallowed up the other escapes, this means a net loss of energy, which has to ‘paid’ by the black hole losing mass, think E=mc²).

Since a black hole behaves (geometrically) like any other sphere, the proportion of its area to its volume will grow as the black hole loses mass (i.e. it will have more and more relative area the smaller it gets), this process speeds up over time thus ending in what I guess you could call an explosion (more a whimper than a bang, to borrow a phrase).

Part 2 of your question: We don’t know.

If your position as a civil servant involves official communication with companies, you’re going to need the § sign a lot on a daily basis, and the Nordic countries have basically always had large public sectors.

Perhaps because it came from a Microsoft report. Maybe they only know of this being fixed in Windows? I would assume it’d affect all OSs but then again, I certainly do not know enough about these things to understand what’s going wrong here.

At least it avoided the Martian urban areas.

Bite coaster, pour tequila in sink, add lime to taste.

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Ammonia and bleach (sodium hypochlorite) make chloramines, not mustard gas. Still very not healthy, though.

The Brussels effect in action.

To be fair, if being able to tweak everything makes you happy (and I get that), Gnome is probably a horrible choice of DE in the first place.

You could try Eurostat.

It’s in Spanish while being labelled as English.

If anything, it might be a bit much.

The Danish Parliament would like a word…

Turn the page about 45 degrees clockwise, you’ll write more straight across the page and the pen will work better because you’re not pushing it. Experiment until you find the angle that works best for you.

Additional bonus: No more smudges on your hand/the page.

Whatever nebulous issues one or the other may or may not have had, my personal experience is that startpage (from my understanding, basically privacy’d google) provides higher quality search results than DDG (fmu, basically privacy’d bing).

I think that’s called grayjay.

Astronomers would notice immediately, as the stars would be in very wrong positions. The IAU is the primary reason why IT people have to hack around leap seconds.
