Jeremy Soule made some soundtracks.

Guild wars 1 and 2, Skyrim ...

From my experience it's quite good in the Caribbean and it's getting better.

Probably diplomatic passport holder.

The yearly average for Spain in 2023 is 160g CO2/kWh (yellow).

25% of their electricity was produced with wind, 22% nuclear, 16% solar and 10% hydro. And also 22% of gas that brought their CO2 up.

Yes, the map sources try to include the CO2 emissions of all the chain.

When doing that you see that nuclear still has very low emissions. Nuclear is a lot of CO2 emissions for construction but after that there is not much. The fact that most of the French nuclear reactor are almost 40 years old means that the impact of construction is already diluted.

Uranium mining is polluting, yes, but you need so little that it does not really have a big impact on the CO2/kWh ratio. 1kg of natural uranium produce as much energy as 14,000kg of coal !

What is interesting on this map is that right now the green countries either have a lot of nuclear, a lot of hydroelectricity or both. Country with a lot of wind and solar struggle to meaningfully lower their CO2 emissions. I think it will come but right now the backup power used for when solar and wind production are low is often polluting and counterbalance the low emissions of renewable energy.

I recently found one of the liveCD I received with Ubuntu 8.04 on it. Canonical was sending them for free for people interested in Linux.

I was in high school and tried it on my first computer, it was my first connect with Linux and honestly I think that without Ubuntu I would not have discovered Linux until much later in life.

I imagine the meeting at SpaceX.

The HR manager : So, now that the production is ramping up for Starship in Texas, most of our investments are there and most of our workforce is there already.

Should we move our headquarters there too ? We are getting some good incentives from the Texas government but moving everyone will be tough ...

What are we talking about ?

HR manager : moving our headquarter to Texa...

Musk: Right ! because if the trans law of California !

HR: not really, it's more becau....

Musk: Let me post that on X leaves the room while typing on his phone

I think it's more "Most consumers hate the idea of a bad, unhelpful customer service".

I'm fine with AI if it was actually helping to solve my issue, but it is generally not the case.

It's not a new Fallout game, it's a mod from independent developers so you can except a higher standard.

It releases on my birthday !

I don't think I have a choice then, I'll have to get it on day one.

Composing is really easy once you understand one basic rule: if it smell you have to much humid nitrogen.

Add a good amount of carbon to it and the smell will be gone the next day. Carbon can be dry leaves, cardboard, wood ... Usually "brown" material.

The is the exact same thing in dry toilet or chicken coop, if it smell bad add some carbon to it to bring back the balance between nitrogen and cardboard.

For people interested an extensive report by French appliance store after sale service. It gives the reliability of each brand. There is a note for the reliability, ease and cost of repair.

It's only in French unfortunately : https://www.darty.com/achat/services/barometre-sav/barometre.html

The wind is not even the worst part of a hurricane, the rain and raised water level can be way more damaging than the wind alone.

I'm sure your country will be happy to welcome the people from these islands. Right ?

It's not like people living there really have a choice.

I'm in the same boat but with semi professional needs.

I have not found any alternative yet to Onshape that works on linux.

I'm trying FreeCAD and derivatives from time to time but it really feels like a serious step backwards.

I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.

So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it's a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.

One word: privatization

Yeah, when I wanted to buy an electric car I look at the used market for the Renault Zoe but I quickly gave up.

The idea of paying a monthly subscription on a used car quickly turned me off and buying the leased battery back from Renault was prohibitively expensive.

I stopped reading the article there.

Either the author is voluntarily misleading or he has no idea of what he is talking about.

Here is the map all the fast charging stations (>100kW) along the way between Paris and the Mont St Michel.

The Tesla model 3 in Europe uses the standard combo CCS plug so it can use all of these stations.

I did not count them but at a first glance the number of charger is higher than "none"

Edit: OK I read the article after all but I really don't see what problem battery swapping would solve.

I could see a use case for public transport that has to go a specific road and need to run non stop every days but even then I suspect that having overhead cable on a short section to charge the battery while running would be more appropriate than battery swapping.

The article is talking about the lack of charging station but battery swapping just make the problem way way worse. A battery charger is just a parking spot and a high voltage AC - DC transformer connected to the grid. It's relatively cheap and easy to install, does not take much space and work for all electric cars compared to a battery swapping station that can only work for one specific brand (specific model too ?) need robotics and plenty of storage. Its much harder and expensive to install and you need one charging station per brand. This means less stations overall.

Finally there is the speed of charging, this is true that battery swapping is probably faster than fast charging but honestly I don't find charging an electric car that inconvenient.

On long highway trips I need to stop around 20 minutes every 2 hours, a 20 minutes break every 2 hours is not that bad, just enough time for a toilet break, a quick coffee before going back on the road.
