I don't think you fully grasp how Wikipedia works and how much work is put into it to keep it up to date and accurate. Maybe you should try changing the meaning on that page and see what happens (although I don't actually condone that kind of behavior).

I could vouch for that specific article, because it words it better than I could. But, it seems you'd rather have a ridiculous argument than have your question answered...

Wikipedia is probably the most trustworthy source around. It can be wrong so you should still verify it if you want to be sure. But, I don't think there's another site with a large amount of knowledge that is so consistently accurate.

What you should have learned from school is that you don't cite it in your papers, because it's not the original source for anything. But, you definitely should be using it for your research and using its citations to go deeper.

I could understand that. But, with a bit more context from the article (that I should have included), it's talking about the criminals that are targeting specific individual children to assault them.

When a parent is anxious about the child enough to install a bloody tracking app. The parents is giving the data about the child to the criminals.

That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps... How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?

"matter as much" has essentially the same meaning as "matter just as much". It means the amount of 'mattering' is the same. If you "don't matter as much" then it's the opposite.

I heard about this before and from memory, that's how this started. People were researching why adult teeth weren't growing and were looking for what could make them grow.

I think the 80% number is outdated (although most of the energy is still wasted)

F1 engines achieve a peak thermal efficiency above 50 percent, significantly higher than a modern passenger car's 35 percent thermal efficiency - https://www.motor1.com/news/655596/video-how-f1-engines-make-1000hp/

So more like 65% goes out the tailpipe...

Yeah, but who decides what's an official act? I think that ruling was only ever meant to benefit republicans

Not to mention that the founding fathers would hate what has become of American politics...

Sometimes it's not so easy to fire up a GUI, like when you ssh into another machine.

Reminds me of these guys trying to grow brain cells to play doom

Why would you have 30 days in those months? I'm a fan of having exactly 4 weeks each month (28 days), across 13 months. Then every month is the same. If the 1st is on a Monday, then the 1st of every month will always be a Monday. You just need to add a leap week in every now and again.
