If you like it sweet, I just tried yesterday a typical dessert from Saxony (Leipzig): das Quarkkeulchen.

It’s basically a pancake but with potatoes as a base, it’s surprisingly tasty! https://sachsen.tours/rezepte/saechsische-quarkkeulchen/

I will dualboot to keep a windows 10 for software that only runs on it, but I really hope I will be able to be gaming on linux only.

Imagine people in 2150 praising the visionary and benevolent president Trump who courageously lead our world to the only possible path in order to save the environment: “He fooled them all with his “drill baby drill” and they fell for it, they elected him. Of course some were suspicious that something was off, but he had a grand plan for nature to finally be restored…”

I would love to read this fiction, because reality is quite sad at the moment.

Champagne !

People are like: let’s move a bit closer to the end of the world, seems like a fun event.

Yup! In Frankreich wir haben nukes und für defensive Zwecke das sieht gut aus. Aber wenn Lepen oder ihr Hundchen wird Präsident sein, dann tickt das Doomsdayclock noch einmal für alle…

I know there is a programming language called windev, all in French, just in case you want to suffer. I would except a good exception handling mechanism in a French base language.

An example from their website: ` TotalCA est un monétaire = CalculCAMoisEnCours()

SI TotalCA >= 1 250 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= “Objectif dépassé !” LIB_Objectif.Couleur= VertFoncé

SINON SI TotalCA <= 200 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= “Objectif non atteint” LIB_Objectif.Couleur= RougeClair FIN

FIN `

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

You may want to read the text before commenting nonsense, the French are not pleased either.

| Sales are crashing in France, Germany, and the UK […] In France, sales of new Teslas fell by 63 percent

I don’t see what justify your attack, it seems unnecessary to attack people based on their nationality. Yes, we do have a far-right issue in France, but it’s pretty much the same as everywhere else in Europe and there is still a resisting left here, not all hope is lost. Also, regarding your comment below, the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003, when the US and allies invaded and destroyed Irak, but for once France stood against the US imperialism.___

It seems the temperature has been slightly hotter about 6500 years ago for a period of around 2 centuries with temperature estimated between +0.8 and +1.8 °C compared to 19th century, but this is subject to debate, (see for example https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0530-7).

Before that, we have to go back to a period where most Homo Sapiens were living in Africa about 125,000 years ago, where warming was likely +0.5 to +1.5°C compared to the same 19th century baseline.

Regardless if there was periods much hotter in the long past, the big difference with today’s situation is the rate at which this warming is taking place. For example, for the “6500 years ago” period, it took about 3000 years of warming to go from +0 to it’s maximum (which is between +0.8 and +1.8 °C). Today we are at about +1.1°C and it took us only 100 years, through fossil fuels burning and farming to reach that and most of which happened in the past 50 years.

Also, about oxygen 16 and oxygen 18:

The water remaining in the ocean develops increasingly higher concentration of heavy oxygen compared to the universal standard, and the ice develops a higher concentration of light oxygen. Thus, high concentrations of heavy oxygen in the ocean tell scientists that light oxygen was trapped in the ice sheets. The exact oxygen ratios can show how much ice covered the Earth. Sources:
