Wait, I messed up. It’s almost 40 years ago, not 50

It’s been in the work for quite a while. The mayor of Paris announced that the seine will be open for swimming in 5 years … In 1988.

So it took a bit longer than planned, almost 50 years instead of 5 but the fact that they are opening it now is the result of these 50 years of continuous improvement.

I moved to the Caribbean for a few years a while ago and I wanted to do something meaningful.

I saw that the trade between islands was quite low despite being very close, a lot of businesses are struggling because they lack the economy of scale that inter-island trade could bring.

Since it’s low volume it’s quite expensive and slow to move stuff between islands the traditional way (container)

So I thought that a small autonomous cargo boat going between islands would be a great idea !

I was quickly told that it was a terrible idea unless I wanted to be “recruited” by a cartel.

Probably, it should be quite efficient as well.

On the other hand reversible heatpumps work great with floor heating.

Having a cool floor during a heatwave is amazing, plus no noise,

The main problem here is not that toxic waste has been stored in mining tunnels.

The main problem is that there are tons of dangerous chemicals that need to be stored somewhere. It’s all residues from incinerating waste. Once we have all these waste what do we do with it ? Is there a better option than being buried deep in mining tunnels ?

We absolutely need to reduce the waste we produce.

Also, everyone should have a look at what happens to mine tailings. The prices of mining leaves begins hundreds of millions of tons of toxic material containing heavy metals like mercury, cyanide of arsenic.

The method of dealing with it is just to build a dam and store it on the surface. It contaminates the land, the water, sometimes the dam breaks and buries entire villages under toxic waste. No one really cares because most of the mining happens in third world countries, remote communities and because it is needed to feed the global consumerism way of life.

It depends on the kind of heatpumps, in a lot of cases the heatpump is installed to replace a boiler, reusing the radiators and hot water circulation already available.

Unfortunately in this case the heatpump cannot be used as AC.

It’s much darker than what I thought. For me a mickey is a booger.

It’s not that hard actually, if you don’t want them to catch the wind you let them rotate freely and they will automatically face the wind in a way where they have almost no drag.

It’s much easier to automate than a regular sail. It self aligns with the wrong and with one or two actuators your set the direction you want to go too.

Automating flexible sail would be way, way harder.

Even Putin still has his legion d’honneur.

It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.

I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.

Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

You should find a startup incubator of whatever is the equivalent around you.

You have a product idea, it’s great but is just the start. I’m sure 10 other people got up this morning with the same idea. What matters is what you do with this idea.

Now you need to learn how to refine this idea and turn it into a business and for that you need help. This is exactly what startup incubators are here for.

There were roads like that in France: 3 lanes, the outer lanes were used by traffic in both directions and the middle lane was used for overtaking. Yes, both directions would use the same lane for overtaking and yes, it is as dangerous and deadly as it sound.

The worst is that it will probably increase profit or a quarter or too while running the brand to the ground.

You are being downvoted but you are asking a very legitimate question.

If Russia nuked a NATO country, what would really happen ?

Would the US respond ? It’s extremely uncertain, especially with the recent election of space Karen and cheetos.

Would France or the UK respond ? It’s a big question and a big discussion is happening currently in Europe.

France nuclear doctrine states that their nuclear arsenal will be used of France’s “vital interests” are at stake. Is Europe part of France’s vital interest ?

If there is a peace agreement they will station troops in Ukraine to prevent another invasion.

He has some level of clearance due to the work SpaceX is done but even there, he does not have access to some of SpaceX program because he could not get the right level of clearance

I first read it as “Trump will retaliate to Poland’s proposed bitch tax” and I thought that yeah, it’s totally something that could have happened.

A lot of F16 parts were manufactured in Europe as well, it was part of the deal to buy the aircrafts.

I’ve worked for multiple aerospace companies in Belgium and Switzerland that were manufacturing f16 parts.
