Not if you consider externalities. Privatizing profits and socializing losses and all that…
Nonsense. I've even had hens that paired together to open doors – one flying repeatedly on the handle, another one pushing the door. And those were reform hens that seemed particularly blunt relative to their peers.
I agree with the sentiment, but Normans speaking a Breton variant of French… Oh gosh… And why "they"? What's with the lumping of 300+ million French speakers with the personal opinion of one person? What's that talk…
Nice anecdotes, but the last one is a misinterpretation that got me into a rabbit hole. "poe-tat" is juste "patate" and is widely used not the least because it's just faster to say than "pomme de terre" (following…
And yet, you'd say "the House of the Virgin Mary" or "the House of Windsor" in English (which translate to "la Maison de la Vierge Marie", but the "Maison Windsor" in French). English grammar has incorporated a lot of…
The term "Old English" is completely misleading in this context given how distant modern English is from that language. Both were spoken in England, that's about it. Applying the same logic to "France", should we then…
Ridiculous. Dropping meat is upwards of 90 pc of the welfare impact.
Interesting mix of wood too. The 1619 viola has a very tight grain spruce top and the maple back has a beautiful curl. Same with the 2019 Beilharz cello and the 1785 Storioni violin – the curly maple really shows. The…
Not true though! In Italian, corporativismo has a distinct meaning that is unrelated to the concept of commercial corporations. It refers to a system of collaboration between social groups, represented through joint…
In Western Europe at least, cows are kept in pastures, which are permanently dedicated to that use and not used as fields to grow crops. All in all, cows are probably only low carbon in premodern rural contexts in West…
> Multi-metallic systems often involve variable exchange rates between different classes of money, and I've mused that this might be something worth reintroducing to modern financial systems. How and why? Even as…
Lol, crazy theories require real proof. Netherlands: 10% obesity rate, 12% smoking rate.
Good point. This needs an update though now we know more about zoonotic spillover. Pigs, monkeys, bats, etc. should be off the list asap.
The eye of the beholder... I've had hens understand how to jump on handles to open doors. Certainly, they lacked the subtlety to shut up once they started gobbling up food, but they knew how to open doors, creep in and…
I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the fact that Ethiopians seem to sharre a proper understanding of terroir for qat and honey and, boy, are there major differences from one region to the next. (Astonishingly I…
It's high, but not the highest.
Same in many countries in Europe. Also see France's South American forests in French Guyana. Much better managed than Brazil's. Incomparable, actually.
As others have noted, some printers (for instance Epson EcoTank) have printing costs that are pretty much on par with laser printers and almost no clogging issues. People usually don't take into account energy costs…
Not in my experience. Have had one for several years, switch it on when I need and turn off for weeks at a time. Runs perfectly and total cost of ownership is already lower than the mid-range pro HP printer I had…
We mostly chose to travel by car to cover more ground. Some places were very peaceful (Dire Dawa, Bale…), but it only took us one day out of Addis before deciding to play "spot an AK-47" (a franchise based on our "spot…
The armed guard was actually the mafia you paid to visit. Some tourists got shot a few weeks before I went because they tagged along and hadn't paid the steep protection racket fee. Went a few years before you for…
Masks and glasses!!?? Went there, and such gear feels like it would be not only completely useless but even plain dangerous as it would probably contribute to make your body overheat even faster.
How about Linux (Ubuntu, Mint)?
Risk sharing with investors predates the VOC by a few centuries if not millennia. iirc Hansa merchants invested in the modern sense and the Code of Hammurabi, written around 1700 BCE, provides a legal framework to…
We clearly haven't been to the same castles. Also, you could always curl up in a bed or sleep in a sitting position (which or may not have been common in Western Europe a few years ago). If you go visit museums that…
