No, they plunder antiquitarian book shops around the globe. There exist very few copies of those books around and they sure aren't digitized anywhere.

It is surprisingly close. I download a lot of videos with yt-dlp and have seen ratios where up to 20% of total likes being from Return YouTube Dislike users.
Like here's a video with 188,573 likes in total of which 28,330 were submitted to the data base:

The users disliked 130 times which was extrapolated to 356. No idea how that formula works, I believe users with this plugin could be more likely to dislike videos than users without that plugin which may be factored in.
Radar traps. They only snap a picture if someone is going above the speed limit, in a wrong lane (e.g. bus lane) or over a red light.
Any arguments against them are usually analogous to sugar companies opposing a sugar tax because it would lead to poor grammy being unable to afford to sweeten her morning coffee anymore.
Should've read the article more closely I guess, it says exactly that very clearly lol
Eh, it's probably more effective to ban payment services from performing transactions. Doesn't stop crypto currencies but it would still be 99% effective.
Maybe Lucario's just metal af?
Wouldn't Lucario's spike be akin to chest hair? Because it's (or it should be) made of keratin?
Why would you be heating at night?
Like seriously, I don't know anyone who doesn't turn their heating significantly down before going to bed. You only need to heat the bedrooms which are also generally colder.
Same with air conditioning. It's primarily needed when it's actually hot, which - as it turns out - is when the sun is shining and energy prices are low.
Besides: It completely ignores decentralized energy storage. Households with batteries can just let them charge when energy prices are low and discharge when prices are high.
There's a reason smart meters are starting to be mandated. People will need to adjust their habits slightly¹ but that's just the price to pay for sustainable energy.
¹Like very slightly. As in checking the energy price forecast before doing laundry.
Edit: A couple basic introductions to the topic to read up on if you're interested:

Supply controlled energy grid.
Money is extremely good at influencing energy demand. If your power bill increases tenfold per kwh at night then you will do your laundry during the day when it's cheap. It only requires smart electric meters which are starting to be the norm.
Electric cars can further function as home batteries if they support bidirectional charging.
