In 1900 the average French person was eating 900g of bread per day.

I’m working on it to reach this level again.

Yes, I think you can live and work in Spain indefinitely if you are from the EU.

So someone could be living in Spain for decades with an EU passport. It would make sense for them to be able to buy a main residence.

Cellulose insulation is usually treated to be fire resistant, meaning it will not spread the flame.

Unfortunately I don’t think this is a mandatory treatment.

Me too I enjoy putting my meatloaf in Evil_Shruberry oven

Fun fact:

The Eiffel tower and the Statue of liberty have both been built by the same engineer: Gustave Eiffel.

Back serfdom and nobility.

Yes, this is my experience with EV too (France)

When doing a long trip I actually enjoy having to stop for recharging. It gives me a 15-20 min break to pee, her some coffee and stretch my legs without having the impression that I’m losing time.

To give more details about this knife,

He used it to torture an Algerian independentist in front of his wife and kids, in their house.

Then Jean Marie le Pen forgot his engraved knife in the house, came back to pick it up the day later but the Algerian son kept the knife hidden. This is how we know about this knife.

He truly was a huge POS and now his daughter is getting closer and closer to be elected.

Cast iron works great on induction top

There was a huge network of pneumatic tubes under Paris used by the postal services between 1866 and 1980.

With that you could send a letter to any address in the city that would arrive in less than 2 hours.

In France if you are not in an area accessible by a ski lift its free (covered by the public system)

Apparently when doing saturation diving like that you can’t even understand what the other person says, between the helium and the pressure the voice is too distorted to be intelligible.

You can communicate with a computer that transforms your voice to be intelligible but it is really not a pleasant conversation so you can stay there for weeks without having a conversation except for the bare minimum.

There is this article too

Emotional tears have an higher concentrations of proteins that make them stick longer on the face.

All the plants still work in summer during heatwaves. When they stop it’s because they are not essential at the time (electricity consumption is lower in summer than winter) and to protect the river ecosystem. Since the water is already very hot and stressing the ecosystem they don’t want to add more heat into the river.

In the mean time the carbon intensity of France was 31CO2/kWh in 2024, Germany was at 364gCO2/kWh. 12 times more.

But it is going down for both countries, so it’s a good point.

Can I use your corner to fart too?

The US based emissions fell by 5% since 1990 because a lot of the manufacturing industry has been delocalized to China.

If you look at the emissions adjusted for trade the US is emitting more CO2 now than in 1990

From what I’ve read we are energy efficient but this is not the main reason why we are good persistent hunters.

We have two main advantages, one we can stand above the tall grass to spot our prey from afar but mainly we sweat !

We are extremely good at regulating our internal temperature in hot climates compared to other animals, this way we can just follow them until they overheat at which point they physically have to stop.

This is also why persistent hunting is practiced by tribes in the hot savanna of Africa, I have not heard about any example of persistent hunting in cold climates.

Yes,

If it has an operating speed of 450km/h this would be impressive.

But just reaching this speed is far from a world record, the French TGV record from 1990 is 513km/h, it reached 574.8km/h in 2007 which is the current world record.

A fuck ton of bread.
