I'm sure there are. I don't think I've seen any that are radiant only, but I have seen some that use a dish reflector to direct the radiant heat.

A space heater in space could only transfer its heat through radiation instead of conduction and convection, so only a small portion of its heat would escape. It would get hotter and hotter until it melts and stops working.

Essentially, that's how the ISS regulates temperatures. It has big external panels that radiate excess heat into space because there's very little matter up there to conduct heat away.

It's a pretty simple A>B consequence. If the house is being bought to make a profit on rent, then raising the cost of the house means increasing the cost of the rent. The buyer will have calculated how much rent to charge to make a profit in a given timeframe. None of these businesses is going to buy a house for more money and purposely choose to reduce their profit.

All this does is raise the cost of the homes, and therefore the rent charged by the owners to make it profitable.

That's the key here. People who were willing to pre-pay for the game ahead of time are clearly not the target of the DRM, and yet they're the ones choosing to cancel their purchase. It's not pirates complaining because they want to play the game for free, it's people who were looking forward to buying the game.

According to this, it would make sense to see one on a sidewalk, but not on a road.

I used to have that exact model of chair. Looted it from my previous job when they replaced the chairs in the conference room. Comfortable, but sweaty to sit in for longer periods.

Are you suggesting they're not good with cheese?

Quite violently, yes.

It's essentially what happens at Thanksgiving every year when people try to deep fry a frozen turkey and burn their houses down.

Sadly, it's just makeup. He's orange because he wants to be orange.
