It's counter-intuitive, yes, but if it works how I imagine it to they really are heating the coolant. Ordinarily the coolant would pick up heat from the batteries and move it to a radiator, but in cold weather the coolant is heated to warm the batteries. If you prefer to think of it as the heat exchange medium then you're free to do so or come up with your own more descriptive alternative but for the vast majority of the time it's just there to cool the batteries.
I freely admit that I'm pulling this out of thin air but a quick look on google tells me that the performance in a Tesla is reduced in very cold temperatures. Strapping a heater to the cooling system and adding a valve to divert the coolant away from the radiator (assuming there is one) seems quite an ingenious solution.
Just an educated guess here... sometimes you need to cool the batteries, and sometimes you need to warm them. I gather that batteries tend not to work as well in the cold from the fact that the ones meant to start ICEs are often compared in terms of cold cranking amps. If you already have a way to move heat away from the batteries you'd be mad not to use the same thing in reverse to heat them if you had the need to.
To take the opposing attitude, if God meant for us to stay on Earth, why did He make all the other planets? Is he running experiments around other stars as well? Did Jazeb have his gas sacs rent for all the martian's sins?
There's already a rule about the size of the head but as usual it vaguely defined. As I remember it, "the head may not form a substantial part of the pint". This isn't helped by the fact that some drinks, e.g. lagers and ciders generally don't have much of a head at all, while others such as Guinness are expected to have a comparatively deep one.
The only way you're likely to get a landlord to top off your drink is if a) they're obviously taking the piss and b) you're not the only one at the bar. Having your punters see you fleece a customer is bad for business.
The article is light on details, which is giving me some trouble forming an opinion. If the photographer published these pictures then I agree wholeheartedly that doing so is an invasion of the subjects privacy. On the other hand, if I were to take some intimate pictures of my partner solely for my own enjoyment* that's a different matter entirely.
*How much enjoyment is to be had depends on how clean or messy the break-up was, I suppose.
Perhaps the paper should archive old articles and hide them from Google. They actually obey robots.txt, don't they? The way I see it, the ones who hold personal information should be the ones held to account rather than the ones that facilitate access to publicly published information (regardless of age).
I wouldn't say ITER = bad, so much as ITER = big. For the amount of money that's been spent on that project, where's the harm in spreading a few million around the smaller projects too? You never know if any of them will bear fruit, and it'd be nice to be able to build a fusion reactor without needing superconducting magnets the size of a house.

perhaps you can show us where the "eject" button is?
Top-right hand corner of the keyboard.
What do you mean, "they sell coffee"?
They do, for a given value of "coffee".
Not as punchy as "ohnoitsroland" though.

I wouldn't bother. If a pun needs to be explained it probably wasn't funny enough to make it worth the effort anyway.
Compromise, n.: see cop-out.
Also inheritance tax, a.k.a. "when it stops moving, tax it".

Why are foods being diverted to fuels or construction material - first corn, now bamboo....
In the first case it's because of the corn lobby. Bamboo, on the other hand, is actually good.

Resolution vs. size. Like hacker vs. cracker that ship has sailed.
Since the p-B reaction yields mostly photons...
Doesn't it yield alpha particles and not much else?
"Let them die."

No one actually had to be in space to take those pictures.
Apart from when Hubble was launched or when it needed repairs.
I've seen a lot of people attempt to use the pound sign only for it to show as &something. I was just curious how I could use it and they could not.
On a related note, why does £ seem to work for me but not others?
In the U.S., my impression is that few judges are driven by money. I hope I'm right.
I wonder, are there many poor judges?
RE #4. Be advised, they always have relatives.
Wouldn't it also be spot on for the zeroth?
He promptly gave me my laptop back, and he "thanked" me by also giving me someone else's xbox and playstation, big screen tv and car stereosystem.
