Never been to Italy, but I expected it would be even worse over there, Italians are often very invested in their opinion about food😄 some of my Italian friends can spend the whole meal debating about what they are eating

I'm a french vegetarian living in France after living 6 years in Scotland, France is years behind on the diet inclusion issue, I was shocked how difficult it was to find a place to eat out in Paris, way too many cafe/restaurant/etc.. gets defensive and refuse to serve you if you don't have the "historical diet" (whatever that means) of france, and a lot of them don't offer any "common alternative diet" options on the menu. And it's not better outside of Paris.

Then of course there are some great places that try to include everyone regardless of their diet, and they are increasing in numbers, but they are still the exception rather than the norm which is a shame.

If you ever goes in Paris and looking for a fully vegetarian classy restaurant, I recommand "Polichinelle", it's a bit on the expensive side (~50 euro/person), but it's high level cuisine, and for a special occasion it's really worth it.

I fully agree with this, it's all about how you choose to look at things, with the right outlook most tasks can be enjoyed

I wouldn't say "abnormal", I would say the "lucky few"

Have you not seen the AI generated QR code embedded in an image ? I don't think it can be done without AI, Don't know if you would consider it art, but I do : for example here is the first one I got when googling it https://www.qrafted.ai/img/gallery/girl-3.jpeg

Like all AI things unfortunately the web is flooded with them now..

Wouldn't it prove they weren't intelligent ?

I don't know whether you were satiric or not, but it feels like it, hard to tell on a text medium. No hard feelings either way 😄

If you were "mocking my post in a satiric way": I didn't mean to say that nothing should be done or that it was not a reason to worry. I actually believe we should protect our ecosystems, but I think we need accurate data and this kind of posts, even if they convey the "right" message according to me, are misleading and create false information about what is going on. I truly believe we should try to avoid doing this.

I was worried so I looked for the source of the information, it seems to be from 'Washington State University" from their website they say it concerns "Commercial honey bee colony", so it might not be all bees (I don't know enough to say what the difference is exactly), they say "60 to 70% losses" (not 80), and they also say "Over the past decade, annual losses have typically ranged between 40 and 50%.", so it is probably worrying but not as much as the CBS article was making it seem.

Personally I love the dozenal clock, which divides a full day in 12 equally sized chunks (of two current hours) then each of those are equally divided into 12 chunks (of 10 current minute) that gives you your two main "clock hands" the larger one circle around the clock once a day, the other one 12 times a day (every two hours), the number on the clock would go from zero to nine then dek and el (like the famous dozenal proposal), the number zero would be at the bottom that way the main hand of the clock would roughly follow the position of the sun around the clock when facing south. Then you can have a third hand on the clock which circles 144 times a day (every 10 min), and then a fourth hand would do a full rotation every 50 second. The time would be denoted using one digits for the position of each hand,

Here are a few conversion examples:

1:2:3 would mean 2 hour 22 minute and 30 seconds in the morning,

4:5:6 would mean 8 hour 55 min 00 sec in the morning

9:X:E (nine dek el) would mean 7 hour 49 minute 10 sec in the afternoon

Of course you wouldn't need the full precision, we usually round the the closest quarter 9:X:E (nine dek el) would probably be rounded up to 9:E (nine el) for 7:50pm

It doesn't look too useless if you think about it, it could be foil or some other joker upgrade, it could make another joker better sometimes, if it comes for free or cheap I'd take it

Je travaille en TT tout les jours depuis plusieurs années, il est impensable pour moi de retourner en présentiel, si le travail est faisable a distance je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'être sur place.
