Something like that happened to “a friend”. During a several day hike, a #2 in the wood was wiped a bit too hastily and some of it was missed.

Now the remnant bits dried and glued the hair from both cheeks together, during the hike after that my “friend” could feel the hairs being pulled from one side to another at each step he was taking.

Not a great experience.

Yes, I think you can live and work in Spain indefinitely if you are from the EU.

So someone could be living in Spain for decades with an EU passport. It would make sense for them to be able to buy a main residence.

Yes, this is my experience with EV too (France)

When doing a long trip I actually enjoy having to stop for recharging. It gives me a 15-20 min break to pee, her some coffee and stretch my legs without having the impression that I’m losing time.

There was a huge network of pneumatic tubes under Paris used by the postal services between 1866 and 1980.

With that you could send a letter to any address in the city that would arrive in less than 2 hours.

In France if you are not in an area accessible by a ski lift its free (covered by the public system)

Apparently when doing saturation diving like that you can’t even understand what the other person says, between the helium and the pressure the voice is too distorted to be intelligible.

You can communicate with a computer that transforms your voice to be intelligible but it is really not a pleasant conversation so you can stay there for weeks without having a conversation except for the bare minimum.

All the plants still work in summer during heatwaves. When they stop it’s because they are not essential at the time (electricity consumption is lower in summer than winter) and to protect the river ecosystem. Since the water is already very hot and stressing the ecosystem they don’t want to add more heat into the river.

In the mean time the carbon intensity of France was 31CO2/kWh in 2024, Germany was at 364gCO2/kWh. 12 times more.

But it is going down for both countries, so it’s a good point.

Can I use your corner to fart too?

Yes,

If it has an operating speed of 450km/h this would be impressive.

But just reaching this speed is far from a world record, the French TGV record from 1990 is 513km/h, it reached 574.8km/h in 2007 which is the current world record.

Not just Canada, the UK has trained around 35k Ukrainians soldiers, Germany and Poland around 10k, France around 5k and the others Europeans countries are contributing as well.

No.

They speak about it in the article I linked (in French unfortunately). The waste that we talk about burying is what’s left AFTER extracting all the components that could be reused.

There is around a century’s with of uranium with current mines.

But right now uranium is very cheap so most of it is “wasted”. There is plenty of way of recycling used nuclear fuel or improving the productivity of uranium enrichment.

If uranium supply starts to actually be a problem there is a way to “create” more nuclear fuel: breeder reactor.

With breeder reactor France could fuel their reactor for millennia only with the depleted uranium they have in stock (when enriching uranium you end up with a tiny account of enriched uranium on one side and depleted uranium on the other, France is keeping the depleted uranium in stock specifically for this scenario)

And why did it make the news when Germany is exporting electricity to France ? Because in 2023, 2021, 2020, 2019 … Germany has been importing electricity from France.

I did my part! Bought a wool sweater from Ukraine as a present for my wife.

So, is this how my Kerbals feels when I forget them in orbit ?

I think NASA should award them the “Jebediah Kerman” distinction.

One step at the time.

Making euthanasia legal for people with terminal illness is already hard enough and I’m glad it is now possible in a lot of countries.

Same experience on my Fairphone 5, first crashed the OS when I tried accessing the gallery.

Now it is working but the pictures have like dead pixels on them.

The fairphone 5 is on android 14 and android 15 has only started to be deployed 2 months ago.

It’s because decorating an evergreen tree is a Yule tradition that has nothing to do with Jesus.

Just in time for the opening of the billionaire hunting season.
