The numbers are are also clearly fictive. Driving a car for 4 miles uses about half a liter of fuel. A liter of gasoline contains about 9kwh of energy meaning, that you would use about 4.5 kwh per half hour of streaming. So the servers would have to draw about 9 KW to serve a single person? That would be like 10 gaming PCs running at full power to serve one person. Are they animating the shows in real time? No compression algorithm is that inefficient and no hard drive uses that much energy.

edit: also they could never be profitable like that. Let's say you watch three hours per day. That would be 9kWx3hrsx30days=810kwh per month. Even if they only pay 5 cents a kWh that would still be over $40 per month just in electricity cost for one user.

Some additional context. The survey was done by "Insa" for Bild Zeitung. "Insa" has repeatedly been criticized for their survey methods and has connections to the afd. The Bild Zeitung ist also a low quality right wing news paper. I don't know why DW even reports on stuff Bild Zeitung writes. They are supposed to be reliable. Reading the posted article you would think DW would have done the survey but they only report on the article that was written by Bild Zeitung. And weirdly the article only appears in the russian edition of dw. Not in the German one. Lastly the question was asked very weirdly. They asked "should all Ukrainian refugees receive social assistance?" The answer to this would obviously be no for many people as many ukrainian refugees don't need social assistance if they have a job or are personally wealthy. I can't really find the original survey. Just the Bild article on it. But I wouldn't but too much weight on it.

In my opinion this is extremely unfair. To earn 2000€ after taxes and contributions to social security as a single person in germany you have to earn at least 3000€ a month and because social security is shared between employer and employee, you cost your employer closer to 3600€. So almost half of what you earn goes into taxes and contributions to social security. Over 500€ just for the pensions. And those 500€ don't even include how much taxes are subsidizing the pension. At the same time a pensioner can get as much as you do(maybe even working full time for it), in addition to getting their pension that you are subsidizing and not pay any taxes on it.

Naja, das Skurrile hier ist ja, dass Likör an sich schon meistens ohne Ei ist. Erst durch die Bezeichnung "ohne Ei" wird ja überhaupt erst die Verbindung zu Eierlikör hergestellt.

I only looked at power consumption, not emissions. If the electricity produced is emissions free than the emissions for both driving and streaming would be zero. So the original statement would be true, but meaningless. But lets compare the energy consumption with an EV. At 15kwh/100km(4.14mi/kWh) the EV would need 15kwh/100km*6,44km=0.966kwh for 4 miles. That still leaves us with a power draw of 1.932KW. That is closer to a realistic but I still don't think the power consumption of streaming is that high.

Ja, aber die Evolution selbst hat keinen Sinn. Sie ist nur ein Resultat der wirkenden Kräfte, welches verschiedenen Mustern folgt. Biologen können sie beschreiben, aber ihr einen Sinn zu geben ist nicht die Aufgabe der Wissenschaft.

Imagine stubbing your toe with nails like that. The entire toe nail will be ripped clean off.

In most cases in everyday life the year and month will be the the same as the current ones so the correct year and month wil already be open on most calenders. So looking for the day first does make sense as well.

Even in countries with universal health care surgeries aren't typically free. They are just paid by a public health insurance. That health insurance will pay at first but it will try to get it's money back from you if you injured somebody.

But using figuratively wouldn't really ever be correct either. "Literally" is usually used as a hyperbole, so if you would replace it with figuratively it wouldn't work as a hyperbole anymore. So it would change the meaning. Just because something is meant figuratively doesn't mean people would use the word figuratively to describe it.

Der Youtuber Tofvollgold hatte vor einiger Zeit ein Video gemacht in dem er den rechten Youtuber Clownswelt kritisierte. Daraufhin bekommt er jetzt ständig Hassnachrichten und sogar konkrete Gewaltandrohungen von den Fans von Clownswelt. Er berichtet darüber und wie es auch anderen Journalisten ergeht, die über rechte content creators berichten.

Could also be useful for doing research with ebooks. Maybe show a list of bookmarks or the table of contents on one screen and the text on the other screen. Or you could compare different texts easier, showing one on one screen and one on the other. Or use one screen for notes. But I guess people that need to actually do productive research will use a desktop anyways.

The screws will melt and probably start a fire with the wood they are screwed into. The pole might get hot too from the current that goes through the fasteners but most of the heat would be in the screws and the fasteners and dissipate before it reaches the pole. Hardly any current will flow through the pole itself.

Most eggs you buy in the store are unfertilized and therefore don't really contain chicken. They are still called chicken eggs. Therefore what lays the egg determines what it is called.

You don't need FTL travel or multi-generational ships really. If you get close enough to the speed of light, time dilation can make the travel time for the people on the ship be as short as you want. Only for the people that stay on earth would the spaceship appear to take generations. Getting enough energy to reach such high speeds would be the difficult part as well as accelerating quickly without crushing the travellers.

Closing the lid doesn't reduce the number of particles that get into the air.

There is a route from Europe to China that avoids Russia. But it has to take a ferry from Kasachstan to Azerbaijan. There is no Rail connection through Iran as far as I know. Then it goes through Georgia and turkey. I don't know the exact route from there. But I think there is usually another ferry necessary from eastern turkey/georgia to Europe even though there would be a land connection and Bridge from turkey to Greece. But I think the ferry is easier because they would have to change the train anyways between Georgia and turkey due to different rail Gauges.

Working Full time for the new minimum wage you earn about 2400 gross. After taxes and health insurance that is about 1883€. As a single you can very easily live quite comfortably from that unless you are living in a very expensive city.

But couldn't you just skip the room if that happens? Eventually somebody will be willing to change rooms.
