A 12 year old drew a recognizable picture of another 12 year old? Doubt it.

In case you missed the markings on it, it’s also free and runs on electricity, which in France is low carbon.

His parts are covered. Even so, what is the issue with nudity? This is a global event, in many parts of the world people are not as prude as occidentals. Some go naked to public baths, or beaches.

I live in Greater London and I’m right past a busy street going straight in London. I see a good number of electric vehicles but it’s nowhere near 70%. Do you remember where you read that? I’m curious to check the rate of progress. (I would love for my street to be quieter)

Après il n’y a pas que les péages et le carburant. Techniquement si tu veux comparer le train et la voiture il faut prendre en compte le prix de la voiture (avec l’emprunt) sur sa durée de vie, plus l’assurance, le contrôle technique et la maintenance à prévoir. C’est dur à chiffrer mais ce sont beaucoup de coûts qu’on a tendance à oublier quand on prend sa voiture pour faire un trajet.

Solar is getting so cheap Poland will end up buying its electricity from its neighbours. Coal plants are destined to shut down. I’m pro union but they’d better advocate for reconversion rather than digging a hole for themselves.

I joined a union, but aside for legal help, they’re probably not ever gonna be of other help in my case. I work for a big international company (~5000 worldwide) and there’s only about 10 of us in the uk. Collective bargaining is going to get us nothing but fired. That’s assuming I can convince my 9 colleagues to do so, which is less than likely. In general I think it’s tough to get anything out of a union in international companies.
