  I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn’t reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don’t remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

  I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend’s home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered “near surface”

  I also thought this was a scam like “energized water” and similar, but then found that there are actually medical studies being done on it: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10816294/ But that review paper also says, that larger sample sizes are needed and the mechanisms aren’t explained, so it may turn out useless after all.

  Thanks to Crowdstrike I know that at least the checkouts in shops and some ATMs here use Windows 8 or newer, because of the new blue screen design (don’t remember if they had the QR code, which would mean at least Windows 10)

  If it is anything like other surgeries done at vets, the risky part with such an old animal is the sedation, not the surgery itself. And with animals you usually need to fully sedate them, as they don’t understand that they need to stay still.
