  • Always use the right tool to remove a tick.

    If you use tweezers or rubbing alcohol you will make the tick spit the blood back in your sister with all the pathogens with it, this is what causes diseases.

    With the right tool the tick is very easily removed with a very low risk of infection.

  • OSM is great for everything non-commercial. Hiking path, finding a playground, public toilets or even the closest with few benches to eat a sandwich.

    But for everything commercial and car navigation google maps is unfortunately much better.

  • This is what France is doing.

    The subsidy for EV is 27% of the price of the car with a maximum of 4000€. (+3000€ for people with low revenues).

    The cost of the car must be under 47000€, the car must weight less than 2400kg and it must have a low environmental impact during its production.

    The goal of this last rule is clearly to indirectly exclude cars produced in China. I think tariffs against a specific country is not possible in the European Union so French lawmakers had to come up with a creative solution to exclude Chinese cars.

  • Most of French power plants are using evaporative cooling. Only 4 out of the 18 are rejecting water into the river.

    Swiss green party might not like nuclear power but Switzerland is producing less than 30% of their electricity, the other 70% is imported from neighbors, mostly France.

    Soooo they should probably be nice with their neighbors.

    Never mind, see comment below

  • In France the cost for a doctor's visit is 26€. 18.55€ is reimbursed by the public health care insurance and the rest is generally reimbursed by private insurance.

    There is a big debate right now because the doctor's unions want the cost of the visit to go up to 30€ !

  • Yes, it's also called Natural Organic Reduction or terramation. This would be my dream.

    When I die compost my body and use the compost on a tree in the garden or spread it in a natural reserve. This way if my relative want to visit my grave they go in nature rather than going in a gray cemetery full of concrete.

  • The goal for alternative transit is not to remove traffic jam, it's to transport people.

    9mph is slower than a bike, it fits with my experience. When living in a city (in Europe, it might be different in the US) my feeling was always that bike was the fastest, public transport a bit slower but more comfortable (mainly protected from the elements and car drivers) and lastly car was the slowest and more stressful.

  • there are places where fluoride occurs naturally in drinking water at higher concentrations than it is added artificially and there don't seem to be significant health problems.

    I'm simply replying that there is places where fluoride occurs naturally in drinking water at higher concentration that it is added artificially and there is significant health problems in these places.

    Does it means that fluoride in low concentration like in the US water system is dangerous ? No, it just means that very high concentration can be dangerous.
