Tesla understood that Batteries are expensive so let’s make a fancy car so customer are OK to pay for the batteries main brand either didn’t have an EV or tried to make a cheap electric car, cutting down the autonomy (e.g. the Renault Zoe). Add the whole We’re a progressive company, so we give Tesla rather than diesel mercedes to our executive and Tesla was the main player on the niche market for a decade.

However, as electric car stop being a Niche, every brand has now several electrical models, from a affordable urban one_ to a comfortable and fancy one, If you can afford a Mercedes, Tesla is still an option (but then there is Musk personality not helping) but if you ain’t rich, you can go to Volkswagen or Renault depending on how broke you are

It’s not because your neighbour smokes and drink that you should do so

17 year old ? Still live with her parents ? It’s not a 2 persons relationship, but a 4 persons relationship, which make stuff way more complicated especially when it’s with parents and she isn’t independent yet.

There should never be any funding from any government for any religious schools whatsoever, anywhere in the world

This is a historical defeat from the french left, most likely since the 1905 secularists laws. Private (often religious) school, have the the possibility to be agreed by the state, in that case the teacher are paid by the ministry of education but have follow the official curriculum and accept to be audited by the ministry of education. The “private part” is only about the building, and the extra activity, which may (or not) include religious course. Technically there is some non religious private school but most of them would be Catholic (mostly jesuits) and a few of them would be Muslim or Jewish, but many parents put their kids there either to bypass the “school district map” (when the neighbourhood isn’t nice enough to get a good school) or when they’re kid grades are borderline to be accepted in high-school, in that case paying will help (With some of these schools being the place where kids learn to grow weed, get laid, party and barely graduate, but they didn’t go to vocational school

Last attempt to stop this funding of private school by taxpayer money was in the 80’s or 90’s and put all the right wing in the street. I doubt a left wing government will burn their crediblity on that issue. (And politically wise, I am rather putting all right wing on the street on a tax reform or on housing prices rather than on school)

While I hate that we have to increase the defence spending, at least it’s creating job in Europe, and supporting the European technology sector rather than the money spent abroad. Moreover, I would love to see the European defence industry having enough revenues to afford telling Sunnii-petro-monarchy to fuck off rather than having to sell money to people who bomb civilian and sentence gays to death.

According to wikipedia, there is rougly 2.5 Billions of Christians with half of them being catholic, moreover the Catholic church is a relatively centralised religion giving a lot of power to the Pope compared to other religious leaders. So I can’t think about many religious leader having that much global authority.

I Wouldn’t be surprised that the death of Ayattolah Khamanei will also quite a big news. However, while pretending to be “a religious leader” he is also the de facto political leader of Iran

People travel to China because there is nice stuff to see and great food to try. While US doesn’t have the great food they have the nice stuff to see and are still way better than China.

Realistically speaking, she’s most likely somehow sponsored by big pharma (Well considering that it’s imaging, it’s more the interesection between big tech and big pharma, not sure where to put health division of GE or Siemens) , and cancer treatment/dianostic bring them a lot of money so they like cancer research.

Can we do like Trump does with F35 and brick them if they use them against EU interest. I feel like Erdogan isn’t much better than Putin. Pretty sure he faps on invading Greece and keeping Cyprus

Just a couple of years back, you would get replacable batteries, at least from “phone shops” with dedicated tools.

Designing a water tight enclosure which can be opened to replace a battery isn’t exactly rocket science. It doesn’t need to be as easy as a fairphone.

Sure some brands will do malicious conpliance and guess what, people will bux from other brands.

Considering the low wage in French Academia, and the lack of permanent position (Which used to be a benefit offsetting lower wages) I am not sur it’ll attract that much person.

But still a great initiative.

It’s great. However, from the french ministère des armées Link I count 3 types of satellites for a grand total around 8 including two dedicated to satcom. (assuming this is up to date, and that all informations are public) It’s not a bad number of a “medium-sized nation” but unless other European nation have the same capacities it’s definitely not enough to provide 24/7 intelligence to Ukraine

Lemmings are real ? I thought it was video-game characters

With my limited experience, (Free flight and powered ultra-light), in most cases it’s a genuine mistake, either because you’re not familiar with where you are, badly estimated the drift due to the wind, mixed two landmarks, and ended-up in a restricted airspace (Even a simple free flight GPS would solve these issues) or, for commercial flight under ATC supervision you mixed up frequencies and didn’t replied to the radio for a while.

An important thing is check whether the plane is OK not replying to ATC may-also mean that you have a fire on board and loss electrical system, or are already burning on the ground (I believe fighter jet were scrambled for the Air-Berlin suicide/mass murder but by the time they were on site, the plane was already on the ground) and most likely capture an image from the cockpit which may be used for further legal developments.

Then in principle, to get your pilots licence, even for an ultra-light you’re expected to know that if a fighter jet rock their wings near you it means follow me_

This is IMO the most awful stuff in these economy,

You have a couple of actors/singers who earn insane amount of money.

Then you have a large chunk who by mixing teaching, local theatre/bars, and some extra, get from a living wage, to a well-paid job.

And finally you have a majority who struggle.

All of that mostly based on being at the right place at the right time, and having the right friends

Which language do you speak? While many employer, especially in qualified field not working with public may accommodate English speakers, it’s not as universal as you may think.

In qualified job, expect a loss of salary, well a part of it is covered by healthcare, daycare, school and more but at least at my work rk US laboar is more expensive when budgeting projects

You’re an immigrant, expect to deal with all the associated bullshit

It’s not like we don’t have our share of far right politicians who hate everyone including themselve

No idea on how bad it is,

From my understanding regarding French cops, A big issue is that the ranking at the end of training defines who choose their position first. Guess what happens : The cop who thrived in training will either go to a nice medium town in southern France to get a steady a job without too much stress, or take an interesting job in prestigious unit like crime-brigade (which would kickstart the rest of their carrer), while the one who barely passed end-up in a bad neighbourhood, resulting in high crime/bad neighbourhood end up with the worst cop of the country while the place who don’t need much cops get the best ones.

This actually a pretty interesting take.

I see how it can work with experienced players ready for some experimental game, but indeed it’s not something I’ll do on another context for the following reason.

I don’t know whey some people seems to strongly decorrelate the system from the rest of the game. The mechanic is a component of the game theme and mood and a good pairing Setting/System is important. To be cliché you’re not going to use D&D to play Chtulhu unless you want to do a dungeon crawling agaisnt Mi-go

Many players don’t have a feeling about which game mechanic they can come with

This kind of discussion works if you have a lot of time. If you’re young and plan to play until dawn no matter what, sure it’s fine. for a busy and married adult needing to have dinner with their SO and who plans to take the last train home to come back, you don’t want to loose time with these less important questions

C’est bien que ce milieu puisse encore résister à la pression du management et que si il y a une anomalie, on fait une pause, on vérifie et puis voilà.

Dans bien d’autres industries, un·e manager mettrait un coup de pression directe ou non à l’expert·e qui pourrait autoriser de continuer malgré l’anomalie.
