Coffeehouses have been around since the 15th/16th century in the Ottoman Empire.

Sadly they have not issued them yet. The prosecutor recently requested them and the court has yet to decide.

urning off GPS and LTE ruins 90% of the features in the car.

The main purpose of a car is "driving", which you can do. Unless you cannot start a Tesla without LTE, which would be very stupid.

You can also always strip a car for parts. Teslas are not magically safe from that.

Many men can barely afford to live, let alone even think of the joys of previous generations such as home ownership, having a family, or travelling.

Ahh yes, because houses are cheaper for women, obviously. /s

This has nothing to do with the person being a man or woman.

Meanwhile the news is full of victory after victory for women, so of course they’re going to support the status quo more.

That "victory after victory" is in large part just women catching up to existing men's rights.

How is a diverse opinion a threat to democracy?

If the opinion is that there should not be a democracy, then that is a threat to democracy.

Excluding a portion of the population from the polls

They are not excluded. They are free to vote for a party that is in line with the constitution.

its almost exclusively a phenomena specific to the left...

I don't even know what to say. In which world are the far-right, fascists and nazis known to value opposing views? Are you serious?

I read in another article that it is just supposed to be a first test of the feature before the global rollout.

If you are in a EU country, then the local agriculture sector is also heavily subsidized by the EU. Agriculture subsidies is the single largest part of the entire EU's budget.

I'm not sure if it works with YouTube

I can confirm that uBlock Origin blocks Youtube Ads.

I have a genuine question that maybe somebody with more economic knowledge can educate me in:

How is continuing the sale in Russia helping Russia? As I understand Russia is gaining money on the sales taxes, etc. but the rest of the earnings will go to the US parent company, which cannot be taxed directly by Russia. If Pepsi backs out, wouldn't operations just be replaced by a rebranded russian company, where all of the earnings would be under russian "sphere of influence"?

I genuinely do not understand why Pepsi backing out is considered bad for Russia. I thought countries generally prefer national companies over foreign ones.

The original contract with the company RWE was made in the 1990s and included destroying whole towns for the coal mine, which was planned to be in use until 2038.

What we see now is a compromise between RWE, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the federal government to save the remaining towns and close the mine earlier (in 2030). The wind turbines are from 2001 and are nearing the end of their lifecycle.

So not only did the original article quote the wrong study, they also completely misread the content of the actual study.

@0x815@feddit.de you might want to edit the title of your post to prevent spreading misinformation.
