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.
Or do like what the people are the bike rental company I went to did.
They wore regular clothes and took an angle grinder with them (the key broke in the U-lock).
Kindly ask the nearest shop to plug the angle grinder to cut open the lock on the bike that was in the street, went on with it and left with the bike.
No one bother to ask any question.
One word: privatization
France too, I came back a few months ago and after a month.
I had my number for years but suddenly after a month I started receiving a lot of spam. I would love to know who gave away my number too.
At least now at the spam calls have to come from specific numbers so it's easy to block.
Oil is honestly an amazing product, chemistry wise there is so much we can do with it and energy wise it's a extremely concentrated and easily transported form of energy.
Energy wise one liter of oil is equivalent to 10 person working for a day !
I repeat, using one liter of oil is like having 10 "slaves" working for us for a day.
Its easy to see why oil became the base of our modern civilization, and easy to see why we don't manage to stop using it even though it's destroying us.
Yeah, when I wanted to buy an electric car I look at the used market for the Renault Zoe but I quickly gave up.
The idea of paying a monthly subscription on a used car quickly turned me off and buying the leased battery back from Renault was prohibitively expensive.
I stopped reading the article there.
Either the author is voluntarily misleading or he has no idea of what he is talking about.
Here is the map all the fast charging stations (>100kW) along the way between Paris and the Mont St Michel.
The Tesla model 3 in Europe uses the standard combo CCS plug so it can use all of these stations.
I did not count them but at a first glance the number of charger is higher than "none"
Edit: OK I read the article after all but I really don't see what problem battery swapping would solve.
I could see a use case for public transport that has to go a specific road and need to run non stop every days but even then I suspect that having overhead cable on a short section to charge the battery while running would be more appropriate than battery swapping.
The article is talking about the lack of charging station but battery swapping just make the problem way way worse. A battery charger is just a parking spot and a high voltage AC - DC transformer connected to the grid. It's relatively cheap and easy to install, does not take much space and work for all electric cars compared to a battery swapping station that can only work for one specific brand (specific model too ?) need robotics and plenty of storage. Its much harder and expensive to install and you need one charging station per brand. This means less stations overall.
Finally there is the speed of charging, this is true that battery swapping is probably faster than fast charging but honestly I don't find charging an electric car that inconvenient.
On long highway trips I need to stop around 20 minutes every 2 hours, a 20 minutes break every 2 hours is not that bad, just enough time for a toilet break, a quick coffee before going back on the road.
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.
Energy is only a fraction of the issue and easily solvable, I'm not a 100% certain but I think that some mines are even powered with renewables energy.
The main issue is tailings, millions of cubic meters of toxic, sometime radioactive, full of heavy metals mud. The tailings are piled up behind dams that regularly breaks and contaminate entire regions.
Even of the dams don't break it is still hundred of square kilometers of land that is contaminated for millennia.
There is absolutely no green way to extract all the material needed to build a datacenter.
There is plenty of green ways to raise cattle, however with these ways you can't feed everyone beef at almost every meals.
It's a "Monster Inc" reboot ?
I'm doing that and generally the next step after that is : "OK, can you do it again and this time DO NOT CLOSE THE ERROR POPUP so we can get information on what is happening"
Plus your probably save on gas too.
You have a car that can be found at 10k£ new ?
I can guarantee if the story is true or not but my father talked regularly about a neighbor that he knew when he was a kid.
The neighbor was a ballet dancer above 2m tall and was driving an old school mini.
To be able to fit in it he removed the front seat and was driving sitting in the back seat.
I think he's talking about a shop like that, where you bring your own container to fill them.
More precisely, when you sell the tenant has the right to buy it first.
If the landlord is thinking of accepting an external offer under the initial price then he has to ask again to the tenant if he would buy it at this lower price.
At least 4-7 times a week. I have not read anything about an upper limit so go for it.
Ejaculation lower the risk of prostate cancer, so masturbation should probably be medically advised to all men.
4-7 times a week is a good number according this study

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
Edit: more pictures of the result !a dinosaur shaped observation tower !another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it
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.
