The tartiflette, a very popular traditional meal from Savoy in the Alps, was invented in the 70s !

You might be thinking about the movie Sunshine, there is a similar scene at the end of the movie.

What are you talking about, I was very interested in Greek mythology, it’s just that some parts got the attention of my teenager mind more than others.

The Birth of Venus (Bouguereau)

Are you using an American, Canadian, British or metric cup ?

Because they are all different measurements.

It was Guild Wars Eye of the North for me. I got it just before going in family holidays.

I spent two weeks looking at it.

Ikea has a lot of chip board furniture but they also have some decent solid wood furniture for a good price.

It’s usually pine but still for the price it’s a decent quality furniture that could last for a good time in good condition.

They were also using asbestos and knew it was causing respiratory issues.

They had cloths made of asbestos that they were cleaning by throwing them in a fire. However they knew that slaves in asbestos mine were getting sick because of it

Same, none of the Brazilian I’ve meet said they ever been murdered.

I’ve assembled a bed from Emma (German brand) that took me 3 days to assemble.

It was awful. It did not have instructions In it, just a QR code that redirect on a websitz with ALL the manuals. Then when you find your bed you have to naviagte between 10 different versions depending of the options you have, they all look similar but have different assembly.

Then when you finally assembled your first corner, you think it will be easy for the other 3 but no, they used a totally different assembly method for the next corner for no reason.

Instead of the 40 identical length dowel pins I had 50 pins in 3 different sizes, knowing that the longest don’t fit in all holes so if you only use the shorts one at the end you are stuck with the long one you can’t use.

…

This was pure garbage, IKEA on the other is so satisfying to assemble.

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.

Applied to a real situation I’ve been through :

• my pool 4.5m wide, 9m long and 1.5m deep, the current level of salt is 2.5g/l and a bag of salt weight 20kg. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3g/l ?
• OR: my pool 14’9" wide, 29’6" long and 5’ deep, the current level of salt is 2500ppm and a bag of salt weights 40lbs. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3000ppm ?

The answer to one is 1.5 bag, the answer to the other one is “fuck that, I’m getting 8 bags at the store and it should be good enough”

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.

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

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 really liked that movie

In the métro in Lyon the bar are similar too:

You can do that on the Prusa. The firmware let you cancel a part mid print but continue the rest.

In a few French cities they use the heat from data centers to heat up public pools
