The tubes are called earth tubes or ground-earth heat exchangers. If you look for geothermal heating you'll end up getting the wrong information, mostly for ground source heat pumps. The earth tubes aren't strictly speaking geothermal though, they're massive thermal reservoirs that you're taping into. You extract heat and then putting it back later either from day-night cycles or seasonal cycles.
How is that different than what heat pumps are doing?

It seems like Scratch is made specifically for game development, since everything revolves around the concept of manipulating sprites. "Guess the number" is a game, but not the kind of game that this tool was made to create.
Using text in games is incredibly common

A share feature that uses discord spoiler syntax to include but hide your guesses would be appreciated. Discord uses ||spoiler here|| syntax. The dordle [1] game variants has this share option.

True to an extent--meaning mostly true in practice.
You can mutate the Git data if you chose to using commands like "filter-branch". "filter-branch" isn't used frequently, since it causes issues with every up/down-stream replica if the data has been pushed/pulled, but it is possible. But, even some commonly used commands like "amend", "rebase", and "squash" cause limited data mutations which are broadly considered appropriate and useful.
Those all generate new commits, they don't modify existing ones. Though the only way of easily detecting that is comparing it to a clone of the repo.
This example actually popped up in my Patent class. This is what I remembered.
You are allowed to create a copy (and thus also in printed form) of copyrighted material, _only_ for private and personal use. i.e you _must_ recreate it yourself.
As for selling a modified version, if it isn't modified enough than you still infringe copyright of the original author. With "enough" being something that needs to be defended in court if challenged.
What about if I bought a book from a bookstore then I wrote in the margins or highlighted some text and then sold it to used bookstore?
I’m absolutely of this mind, but unfortunately it also depends on developers’ willingness to make use of these hooks, and it’s becoming increasingly uncommon for third party apps to have any integration or automation affordances, especially any specific to any particular platform. It’s become the norm to ship the absolute bare minimum, which is the lowest common denominator “it runs”.
