Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, is now the richest person in the world above Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
It did not happen by accident.
I strongly disagree, for me a transient lifestyle like that can be great for kids. Discovering different cultures, new way of living, new languages is extremely enriching.
I'm a bit biased since I lived in 9 differents places in 3 different countries before I was 12.
However I have never been homeschooled so I can't give an opinion on homeschooling. There is schools part of the French educational network everywhere around the world so I've been able to stay in the French education system even when living in Africa.
But I know that people sailing around the world are able to maintain their kid education. I don't know for other countries but in France there is the "CNED" that gives material to study remotely, the parents uses the material to teach the kids and there is regularly tests that the kid send back (online now but it was by mail before) to be evaluated by real teachers.
En théorie l'idée est bonne mais en pratique j'ai peur qu'on se retrouve dans des cas ou Jean Patron consomme 2500kWh par an pour 16000km avec sa Tesla et quasiment rien dans le reste de la maison vu qu'il vit dans une maison d'architecte quasi passive, un chauffe-eau thermodynamique couplé solaire, des panneaux PV, de l'électro-menager neuf basse consommation...
De son côté Martine-prolo utilise déjà 3000kWh rien que pour son chauffe-eau électrique, plus ses radiateurs électriques qui tournent a fond tout l'hiver pour arriver a maintenir 17° dans sa passoire thermique, son frigo Emmaüs qui consomme à fond ...
Instead they put antibiotics in the chicken feed
When she was a kid, every year for her birthday my mom would get fancy silverware from her parents, that's it.
One year it would be the tea spoon, another year the snail forks ...
Of course she was not allowed to use it before she would get married. The idea was that she would get a full set when she is 18.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream with chartreuse poured on top.
The wind is not even the worst part of a hurricane, the rain and raised water level can be way more damaging than the wind alone.
I'm sure your country will be happy to welcome the people from these islands. Right ?
It's not like people living there really have a choice.
I'm in the same boat but with semi professional needs.
I have not found any alternative yet to Onshape that works on linux.
I'm trying FreeCAD and derivatives from time to time but it really feels like a serious step backwards.
non mais on ne va quand même pas voter pour ces antisémites de chez Mélenchon.
Je crois qu'il faut voir toutes les attaques contre le NFP comme des projections.
Lors de la dernière législative j'ai voté par internet (français de l'étranger).
L'élection de notre député et un nouveau vote a été effectué car une partie des électeurs n'ont pas reçu les SMS avec les codes de vérification pour voter.
C'est ça le problème du vote par internet, ça fait reposer le bon déroulé des élections sur des acteurs privés.
Ça ouvre la porte a tellement de manipulations potentiels. Dans le cas des français a l'étranger aller voter leur signifier devoir prendre un billet d'avion a plusieurs centaines d'euros, une nuit d'hôtel et deux jours de voyage. Dans ce cas la balance penche en faveur du vote par internet malgré les défauts, en métropole c'est moins évident.
Its perfectly possible to use human waste as a fertilizer, on earth you just need to compost it for around two years to make sure that the pathogens are gone.
As someone said on the moon the process might just be to leave it outside for a bit and you get a perfectly sterile pile of fertilizer
I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.
So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it's a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.
Or do like what the people are the bike rental company I went to did.
They wore regular clothes and took an angle grinder with them (the key broke in the U-lock).
Kindly ask the nearest shop to plug the angle grinder to cut open the lock on the bike that was in the street, went on with it and left with the bike.
No one bother to ask any question.
One word: privatization
France too, I came back a few months ago and after a month.
I had my number for years but suddenly after a month I started receiving a lot of spam. I would love to know who gave away my number too.
At least now at the spam calls have to come from specific numbers so it's easy to block.
Oil is honestly an amazing product, chemistry wise there is so much we can do with it and energy wise it's a extremely concentrated and easily transported form of energy.
Energy wise one liter of oil is equivalent to 10 person working for a day !
I repeat, using one liter of oil is like having 10 "slaves" working for us for a day.
Its easy to see why oil became the base of our modern civilization, and easy to see why we don't manage to stop using it even though it's destroying us.
Yeah, when I wanted to buy an electric car I look at the used market for the Renault Zoe but I quickly gave up.
The idea of paying a monthly subscription on a used car quickly turned me off and buying the leased battery back from Renault was prohibitively expensive.
I managed to finished my project thanks to a 3D printed router copying guide
!A picture of a 3D printed router guide !A 3D Model of a router guide
My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.
I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one
Edit: more pictures of the result !a dinosaur shaped observation tower !another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it
A symptom of linux past traumas
So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject
I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.
Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.
It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.
The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.
So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.
... pour ces raisons, le Conseil d’État annule le décret de dissolution des Soulèvements de la Terre
Depuis 2021, la loi permet de dissoudre une association ou un groupement de fait qui provoque à des agissements violents à l’encontre des personnes ou des biens (1). Saisi par quatre organisations dissoutes, le Conseil d'État précise aujourd’hui le mode d’emploi de ces dispositions. Une dissolution ...
Ca m'a donné la banane pour la semaine !
Edit : aaaah ! J'ai été trop lent d'une minute.
Not The Onion: a french group has been arrested 5 years ago and are currently being judged. A picture of macron with a dick drawn on it is cited as evidence of plotting a terrorism attack

To be fair they were also using encrypted messaging to talk to each other like WhatsApp and Signal, they even show their mom how to use it which is extremely suspicious.

How to use positive psychology to improve your relationships with family, friends, partners and your children.
I'm wanted to share with you the blog that my wife is writing, she's writing about parenting and relationships and she's making some amazing articles !
Collective energy self-consumption, aka "selling electricity to your neighbor"
French grid operator Enedis has identified 187 collective self consumption operations in France, as of the end of March. The operations bring together 2,200 consumers and more than 300 producers, generating 11 MW total power capacity, mainly from solar.
I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.
It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.
It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.
This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
