In a few French cities they use the heat from data centers to heat up public pools
There is often cases where the first class offer exactly the same service as the second class, people are just paying extra to not be with poor people.
France has been carefully walking on eggs for decades with New Caledonia.
They have been a bit less careful lately and cracked a few eggs.
I don't know much about the situation either.
Is it really a drop in the bucket b when we take the value per vehicle ?
If we compare Ford to BYD for example.
In 2023 Ford sold around 2 millions cars and BYD around 3 millions.
For Ford only 72 608 cars out of these 2 millions were EV (3.6%) For BYD it's was almost 1.6 million EV (53.3%)
In 2023 Ford got $9.2 billions from the US government to produce EV, so around $126 000 per EV sold in 2023.
$126 000*1 600 000 = $2 trillions ! So unless BYD received more than $2 trillions dollars from the Chinese government in 2023 it means that each EV sold by Ford is more subsidized than an EV sold by BYD.
This is not an analysis, I took huge shortcuts in this comment and might have done mistakes in the calculations.
The argument of China subsidizing EV is always coming back but I would be curious to know the comparison with the US.
The US are subsidizing EV too I would not be surprised if the amount of subsidy per EV produced is much higher for US manufacturers than China.
I had a roommate who was eating bird eyes pepper as a snack with her 2 years old daughter.
Seeing the 2 years old going for it I thought it should not be too bad so I tried a tiny bite of one. I was definitely wrong.
Its the other way around, to some people cilantro have a similar taste than the smell of stinkbug.
For these people cilantro taste awful.
The Chinese cars are probably much safer on the road then the huge pedestrian killing machines built by US manufacturers.
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.
On the other hand the engineers building the CERN had to include a system that compensate for the land tides due to the moon and sun gravity.
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.
Plus the $7500 tax credit for buying an electric car, this is another form of subsidies for car maker.
I was thinking exactly that yesterday, I looked for a way to have few web apps without using ferdium.
You are right, I have not read my sources properly so o got mixed up between the electricity production and energy production.
Especially with this picture
Antoine de St Exupéry is a French aviator and writer who opened airmail route between Europe, Africa and South America.
One day he flew back from Africa to France with a Berber, someone who lived in the Sahara desert. As they flew through the Alps he saw all the waterfalls, lakes, streams, rivers ...
At this point he told the St Exupéry that the god of French people must love them more that their own god.
In France I'm buying from ArianePlast. It's good PLA for a decent price.
I have not tried it but they also have "Eco" PLA at 13€/kg
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

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.
I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject
I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.
Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.
It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.
The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.
So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.

Using positive psychology to improve relationships with family, friends, partners and children.
I'm wanted to share with you the blog that my wife is writing, she's writing about parenting and relationships and she's making some amazing articles !
French grid operator Enedis has identified 187 collective self consumption operations in France, as of the end of March. The operations bring together 2,200 consumers and more than 300 producers, generating 11 MW total power capacity, mainly from solar.
I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.
It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.
It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.
This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
