The government could listen to people, this is what protests are, people who want to be heard.

But instead of listening to people the president decided to appoint a far right government despite the fact that the left for the majority during the last election.

Nope, definitely not.

I did not read the name of the community before posting.

I’m using Google camera app on my galaxy S10. It’s the app that is used in the google pixel but ported for different phones.

I’m not blaming lemmings, I was there too not to long ago.

You are getting downvoted because it sound to absurd for France. I would have have downvoted you few years ago but unfortunately this is really what is happening right now.

In this case the dangerous far-left extremist they arrested was just a guy who was planning a graffiti. The “far left literature” was a sociology manual because he is a student.

In the mean time the French police also arrested 45 XR militant, they all been release now because they have nothing against them except for one of the activist who will be judge for the dangerous act of … Refusing to give the pin to unlock his phone.

Houses in Europe are connected to the grid too.

These systems are approved in Europe by utilities because they have failsafes implemented to prevent back feeding electricity in the grid.

The fact that these systems are still illegal in the US is a political issue, not a technical one.

It releases on my birthday !

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

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.

I’m sorry but 1 star out of 5 on the European NCAP is terrible ! This car is a death trap !

I would never set a foot in a Chinese …

Oh wait ! I was looking at the Jeep wrangler, never mind.

The BYD has a 5 star rating as well as an the other chinese cars I checked.

Euro NCAP - Jeep Wrangler

You have a car that can be found at 10k£ new ?

They are expecting a very active hurricane season this year, they might manage to lose a ship or two

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.

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

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

No,

There is all the backup of all my family pictures in the drives.

If something happens to me I want to make due that they will have access to it.

There is a group of amateurs building a suborbital rocket called “Copenhagen Suborbital”.

At first I though the picture was a failed rocket launch !

They had this eventuality covered !

Who said they lost communication.

The Ukrainians installed a whole remote piloting system, it does not seem too difficult to control the radio remotely too.

According to wikipedia all modern aircraft should be equipped with an Inertial Navigation System. A system that gives the position of the aircraft by using a buch of accelerometers and gyroscopes.

The GPS is just there to adjust the position given by the INS.
