You should make a set for cars parked on bike lanes!

  1. France (born in it)
  2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
  3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn't even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
  4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
  5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double's. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
  6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It's a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
  7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn't my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could'nt swim… 😬

Looking back, I'm quite privileged 😅

Reminds me there was not a lot of talk about the environment in the democrats presidential campain. A shame since a radical transition to a green industry can hit two birds with one stone: create many jobs and improve people's living conditions.

Was gonna say it feels a bit weird to see a suspension fork on a bike with road handlebars. You'd surely make it a lot lighter/faster if you switch it for a rigid one. That is, if you go for a road-like build.

It's not online but at my usual bar I often get into arguments with a monarchist guy and a free-market/deregulation dude. They often tell me they'll someday manage to make me "take the red pill". It's kind of annoying for them to disregard my views like that. That's why I don't actively try to change theirs.

That's so cool! Now I'm ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

You've got a few episodes of Love Death and Robots that really have that twilight Zone feel (and some are set in space!). That's also the case for the pacman episode of Secret Level. This one gave me chills down my spine. 😅

 

There are a lot of papers advocating for a switch away from fossil fuels, and even H2 fuel cells, to ammonia based propulsion in transport. It can be used in combustion engines but there's a risk of NOx production. So the greenest option to me is ammonia to H2 conversion or direct ammonia fuel cells. It's got the same advantages of classic H2 fuel cells but without the constraints of cryogenic or pressurized containment of H2. And ammonia has a better energy density. But it's toxic for humans and, above all, marine life! Especially for fish species. So I'm feeling a bit uneasy about potential mass ammonia spills…
