About reparability, kobo has a partnership with ifixit for parts and repair guide.

You can have a look at Docs

It's developed by the French and German government with the goal of replacing google docs for governments workers.

There is legislation about that. Not in the US of course, but in France and I think other European countries there is laws requiring to turn off ads, light in empty parkings lots, street lights ... In the middle of the night.

History books in a few decades are going to be crazy!

Even better: a "Dutch roundabout" with protected cycle lanes.

For any north American panicking at the idea of a roundabout, come in France. In a week you'll have seen more roundabouts than in your entire life in the US.

They even put traffic cones around the ladder truck!

Of course I would have let them do whatever they want around the museum.

I don't want to imagine the level of procrastination I would have if I were immortal.

This is what peak corkscrew looks like in my opinion:

I bought the green because I have too much to do right now and limited bandwidth.

So having something that I can just plug in rather than having to research what kind minipc to buy, such one would work best for home assistant, install it, debug it ...

Yes, it still exist.

It's helpful to break down tasks.

I have a rule for my kids is that I never say no to fruits and I try to always have fruits in the fruit basket (as long as they eat the whole thing and leave a half eaten fruit somewhere in the house).

My two year old is really enjoying that and can eat two whole apples and some grapes in a row. Sure he will not eat anything at dinner after that but I can't be mad at him for eating fruits.

I was doing that but now I have 2 young kids and a house that needs renovation.

It's just impossible to do everything, there is tons of stuff I see everyday that needs to be done but I have to accept that it's not possible to do everything.

Which SpaceX contact was a disaster ?

There is a lot to criticize about SpaceX but overall for NASA they've been pretty good partners, especially composted to ask the contracts NASA has with traditional aerospace companies.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I see several contracts

• The commercial crew development: NASA awarded two contract to SpaceX and Boeing for sending astronauts to the ISS (with Boeing receiving almost twice the amount for the same missions).
• Result: the capsule Crew Dragon has been sending astronauts regularly and safely to the ISS. The only astronauts that used the Starliner capsule from Boeing had to use another capsule (sent by SpaceX) to return because it was too risky to use the Boeing one.
• All the satellites and probed launched for NASA. NASA chose SpaceX for multiple missions, I don't think any of the missions failed because of SpaceX. It include Europa Clipper, a probe that was originally supposed to be sent on the SLS (the SLS program is a disaster).
• The human landing system: even though there is delays SpaceX is progressing well in the development of the system. Blue origin got a contract as well but so far they only launch their rocket once and didn't managed to recover the first stage. I don't know about their moon lander, I don't think there is many info available about it. As a comparison SpaceX launched the Starship rocket, recovered the first stage AND reused it several times already. Although comparison between the two companies is hard since they have very different approaches.

Adult tricycles are great for people with balance issues.

"Less disability friendly than a car"

I completely disagree but it's debatable.

What kind of handicap can allow you to drive but not bike ? Bike are extremely adaptable to any kind of handicap, to the point that they can basically be turned into an electric wheelchair.

can't carry cargo

I disagree again, it does carry way less cargo but can still carry cargo.

can't transport passengers

Why do we need to carry passagers ? Because a lot of people (child, elderly people, people without license) cannot drive and because car are expensive. If everyone can use a bike and the bike are so cheap that you can have a few aroumd for guests it greatly reduces the need for carrying assengers.

And you can still carry passagers on a bike, the best example is longtails bike that can carry an adult or several kids as passagers.

kid with balance issue

Longtail and tricycles.

Cars are amazing pieces of technology, they do have unique capabilities like doing unscheduled, flexible long distance drive, or carry a lot of cargo at once.

But for a lot of the daily living a bike (and proper bike infrastructure) would be way better suited to the situation.

Nettle and potato soup is delicious.

It's almost like it was pure green washing and they never had any intention of reducing greenhouse gases

I doubt think it's a DNA problem, the amount of roots depends on the amount of leaves.

So keeping the grass short keeps the roots sorry as well

Yes, the brand has been bought by SAIC Motor, a Chinese manufacturer.

They have been doing some nice stuff recently, I own a MG4 (EV), I know a few people who own one as well and I'm quite happy with the car
