Taking a shower every day is excessive.
Navy shower + one of those droplets fractioning shower head and you’re golden.
Bonus point: It feels like showering in a Star Trek spaceship.

As an atheist I agree, but I don’t think it as anything to do with religion.
It’s all about faith, in the sense of a strong belief in something. Be it a god, aliens, a spaghetti monster or just yourself.
Religion does provide that yes, their daily beliefs become auto suggestions that their subconscious brain accepts, making mental health and life easier.
But anyone can achieve the same outside of religions.
Thanks, here are some figures about our Jet d'Eau and a not so fun fact:
At 200km/h and 140m high, one day a dude tried to kiss it. He was denied any love, felt down near the base, tried to hug the Jet d'Eau (again yes...). Was sent into orbit and finished into the lake where police fished him up.
He did survive, but probably not his last brain cells.
That thing is powerful, when you stand below it you are soaked to the bones by fresh lake water in seconds. At this exact time (24 August 14h30 utc) you can see people pressing below it cause it is 32°C right now in Geneva)
We had to close our sky several times during those last 4 years (meaning no aircrafts allowed above the country). Several times for technical failures, the last one this summer wasn’t our fault but was cool.
I arrived at work for a night shift in the ACC (area control center), heavy rain above the city, I see a small lake forming up against the building underground.
When I reached the elevator, I took off my EarPods and heard a shower like sound coming from the elevator. Eh let’s take the stairs… Curious, I venture to the underground where I’m greeted by a bunch of laughing air traffic controllers and the ACC supervisor for the night. There is something like 40cm of water everywhere, blocking access to the -1 floor and our smoking corner. We joke about doing the "clear the sky" procedure because we can’t use the smoking corner.
A few minutes later we are all back in the ACC, I wasn’t seated yet when the crisis phone rang: We mobilize the board of crisis, reason is the flooding reached some electrical supply rooms, like UPS and batteries rooms.
30 minutes later the AC is down. AC for us humans in the building but mostly for the data center with all the ATC systems needed for our work. Some systems start to overheat and fail.
Less than one hour into my shift, the board of crisis that quickly assembled comes to us in the ops room and says: "We clear the sky, it’s too dangerous".
For us in air traffic control, clearing the sky is easy, you just tell aircrafts a heading to quickly get the fuck out of our airspace and then you stay in front of an empty radar screen. Capacity management people have a little bit more work to do, announcing Europe and Eurocontrol that our ‘capacity = 0 please don’t send traffic’. It’s the tech people that have a lot of work in those situations, personally I just sat on my ass making jokes and scrolling lemmy.
We ended up switching off all the unused screens, systems etc to avoid heat. Opened all the electronics hatches, all doors, everything we could do to have some fresh air inside as it was getting hot. Airport fire squad quickly came and pumped out the water from the basement. They did that all night until morning.
At the end of my shift at 6, temperature inside the ACC was 29 degrees C (instead of 23) and humidity % unknown but it felt "sticky". Sky was still closed. Apparently during the day it felt like a sauna.
The tech guys managed to restore some AC only for the data center and the ACC but not the rest of the buildings so it was mandatory work from home for non ops people. When I came back the evening for my second night shift, everything was back to normal for us and it was a sad normal night with no fun events.
It turned out that the flooding reached 40 cm on the -1 floor and 1m40 on the -2 floor. There is a small underground river below that with a pool that is used as natural cold water for AC. That cold pool was filled with hotter (and unclean) rain water, killing the cold production loop.
The day I find a cabinet like that at the local "marché aux puces" I will probably do a paper Zettel as well. It’s beautiful and fulfilling.
Ah oui t’es un jlailu toi aussi, j’avais pas remarqué.
Thanks for your answers, I’ll have a look at the videos. I do love my obsidian Zettel for one useless function: The graph view that looks like a brain with synapses etc 🤷🏻♂️
Wow!
I agree with all your bullet points except the last one.
How do you store and search a paper Zettlekasten? How do you update it?
I use obsidian for that and I am not sure a paper version would be economically sane for me. I would need tons of probably expensive small papers and one of those beautiful drawers furniture they used in the 60s.
Congratulations this is impressive.
Santa Maria del Fiore. Yep, the cathedral from Assassin’s Creed 2 in Firenze.
The CERN LHC in Geneva.
A kind of Indian grill in Basel (Switzerland). It was rated 4.8 stars on google maps but I failed to notice that all the reviews were made by German/Swiss-German peoples (we come from the French and Italian parts of the country with a French and Italian food culture).
The hella expensive meat platter was undercooked and served with a ketchup and mayonnaise mix. Ketchup and mayo at an Indian place ! They also made us pay 2 francs for a glass of tap water when we had their most expensive dish and a bottle of wine. Fuck them, and fuck those tasteless German speaking reviewers.
All my worst food experiences happened in the German part of Switzerland so now I’m super cautious of what I eat when I travel there.
I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.
I said to myself that I'll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven't started to disassemble it.
Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.
Yeah I love it. It’s one of the only itx case with 8 hdds and a SAS backplate.
Honestly it was the hardest part to find, I waited for months before having an auction on one.
I was going to post the same link, I generally take inspiration from that forum and then adapt with what I can find on eBay etc for cheap. The prices they give are for US eBay and not always suitable to EU eBay.
I’ve just finished my new NAS using Unraid OS and some info from the forum.
- Jonsbo N3 case
- Gigabyte Z590i Vision D motherboard
- Intel i5 10400T
- 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 (basic corsair)
- LSI 9207-8i HBA in IT-Mode
- An old 128Gb M2 SSD
- 8x6Tb HGST SAS drives
- Corsair SF600 PSU
It took me more than 6 months to find all the parts at a correct price but I was not in a rush.
It’s 2.5Gbe and not 10Gb SFP but you get the idea. The cost was really low (lower than 1000) because I already had the HDDs from an older server. It should be around 1500€ max with the disks.
The real downside of doing that is the time it takes but it’s also a kind of pleasure to hunt for parts and one day assemble them all.
I changed my phone maybe 3 years ago so this is the oldest photo stored on it.
A picture that I send to my significant other when I’m going back home and missed the bus or tramway. It happens way to often to my taste.
Ah ah yes thanks I try to dream and be positive even if it’s sometimes dumb 😁
Another thing I forgot is that Airbus (and all EU aviation) are applying the HRO (high reliability organization) and just culture for a long time now.
I have read somewhere that Boeing started implementing just culture after the Max crashes, so very late. And apparently wrongly as some employees still fear repercussions if they make safety reports (and according to latest NTSB report 2 employees had been punish lately for that reason).
If true that is totally unbelievable.
Yeah I’m not sure about that. Work culture, and even C suite culture, is very different in Europe.
Airbus publicly said they want Boeing to continue being a good opponent. The comments on this video talks a lot about working for one or the other manufacturer and the differences in the way people are treated.
Airbus is still lead by an engineer and not an accountant. That could change for sure but EU country won’t let it slip to a shit company as easy as it happened in the US, just because of our culture.
Worst case scenario, French, German, Spanish and other Airbus locations will go on strikes and riots if conditions are getting worse.
Sadly getting something new and better will take decades and Airbus cannot handle the (airline) market alone. They also need to have a concurrent cause having an Airbus monopoly could make them sloppy on the long run. The C suite at Airbus are probably the first ones to want Boeing to survive as they know the trouble they’ll be in if they are alone.
Yes you can, but it won't be the same meaning.
"Putain d’extrême droite" would be "fucking far right" and not "fuck the far right".
That's not much but one is being annoyed at something, the other is actively insulting something.
They should insist that it gets written in the Constitution.
Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l'homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu'ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 [...]
En vertu de ces principes et de celui de la libre détermination des peuples, la République proclame Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous.
Yes it could be "Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre" as well.
So many ways of saying fuck according to different situations, it is better that she said "fuck" as a french version would have been too vulgar and would have provoked some political scandal.
Shit, I forgot about that expression
