Apparently when doing saturation diving like that you can’t even understand what the other person says, between the helium and the pressure the voice is too distorted to be intelligible.
You can communicate with a computer that transforms your voice to be intelligible but it is really not a pleasant conversation so you can stay there for weeks without having a conversation except for the bare minimum.
All the plants still work in summer during heatwaves. When they stop it’s because they are not essential at the time (electricity consumption is lower in summer than winter) and to protect the river ecosystem. Since the water is already very hot and stressing the ecosystem they don’t want to add more heat into the river.
In the mean time the carbon intensity of France was 31CO2/kWh in 2024, Germany was at 364gCO2/kWh. 12 times more.
But it is going down for both countries, so it’s a good point.
Yes,
If it has an operating speed of 450km/h this would be impressive.
But just reaching this speed is far from a world record, the French TGV record from 1990 is 513km/h, it reached 574.8km/h in 2007 which is the current world record.
Not just Canada, the UK has trained around 35k Ukrainians soldiers, Germany and Poland around 10k, France around 5k and the others Europeans countries are contributing as well.
No.
They speak about it in the article I linked (in French unfortunately). The waste that we talk about burying is what’s left AFTER extracting all the components that could be reused.
There is around a century’s with of uranium with current mines.
But right now uranium is very cheap so most of it is “wasted”. There is plenty of way of recycling used nuclear fuel or improving the productivity of uranium enrichment.
If uranium supply starts to actually be a problem there is a way to “create” more nuclear fuel: breeder reactor.
With breeder reactor France could fuel their reactor for millennia only with the depleted uranium they have in stock (when enriching uranium you end up with a tiny account of enriched uranium on one side and depleted uranium on the other, France is keeping the depleted uranium in stock specifically for this scenario)
And why did it make the news when Germany is exporting electricity to France ? Because in 2023, 2021, 2020, 2019 … Germany has been importing electricity from France.
I did my part! Bought a wool sweater from Ukraine as a present for my wife.
So, is this how my Kerbals feels when I forget them in orbit ?
I think NASA should award them the “Jebediah Kerman” distinction.
One step at the time.
Making euthanasia legal for people with terminal illness is already hard enough and I’m glad it is now possible in a lot of countries.
Same experience on my Fairphone 5, first crashed the OS when I tried accessing the gallery.
Now it is working but the pictures have like dead pixels on them.
The fairphone 5 is on android 14 and android 15 has only started to be deployed 2 months ago.
Just in time for the opening of the billionaire hunting season.
SpaceX exists only because of NASA.
The Merlin engine is based on an engine developed by NASA, they even started by buying the exact same turbopumps directly from NASA’s subcontractor
The initial funding from Musk ($100 million) allowed SpaceX to develop the Falcon 1, in 2008 they only reached orbit on its 4th attempt. At this point they had no money left, a small rocket with a terrible track record and no customers for it.
3 months later NASA awarded a $1.6 billion contract to SpaceX for the ISS resupply ! This is what allowed then to continue and develop the Falcon 9.
From another article
The GDM724x is removed for supporting the GCT GDM724x LTE chip based USB modem devices. This driver was merged back in 2013 but is being removed now as the driver isn’t being maintained and yields a maintenance workload, the manufacturer GCT doesn’t respond to any emails/support, there doesn’t appear to be any of the said chips easily available for purchase, there is not any hardware documentation available, and no apparent usage of this driver remaining in the Linux community. Removing the driver clears out 3.6k lines of code and lowers the maintenance burden for other kernel developers.
There was also a vulnerability discovered in July linked to this driver.
So yeah I understand that they chose to remove some drivers from the kernel.
It’s not that surprising once you know that their goal is to be completely independent for their US for their military equipment.
It includes the nuclear bomb, missiles, fighter jet, aircraft carrier, submarines, even space capabilities (even if this last part has been lacking a bit lately).
They don’t have the US military budget but they want the same level of technology without any ties to the US.
It means that they are exporting a lot to compensate for the high investments they are pouring into military technology.
Here is the share of global arms export per country.
Germany, Italy and the UK are also big exporters but still behind France.
France’s military industry is having wet dreams thinking about it.
If the US pulls out of NATO France becomes the biggest arms exporter of NATO and I would expect other countries will become less enthusiastic at the idea of buying US weapons systems.
The bug was occurring when playing the same save for 19884 hours !
There was a huge network of pneumatic tubes under Paris used by the postal services between 1866 and 1980.
With that you could send a letter to any address in the city that would arrive in less than 2 hours.
