It is certain that under close scrutiny one can find bugs as well in Airbus airplanes. Bugs are inherent to software production, all processes are just there to minimizes the risks posed by critical bugs. However, as airbus released the fir

Pretty normal to have passport check on exiting a country. You might have overstayed your visa and you are going to be fined or banned, or you might be a criminal and they will arrest you. Problem is that nationals are usually not extradit

No surprise, bosch is the leading tier 1 automotive supplier who got hit hard by the vw gate and the slump in diesel engines. Electric and autonomous car (which then will lead to easier car sharing) are going to put a huge dent in their bus

I think it is highly unlikely due to the chinese culture and how they view africans. There is a very good documentary called empire of dust that gives a good hindsight of the culture clash: https://youtu.be/1a-QpyF7rNc The

I like the british one because they are mostly 3x3 lanes, with catseye all the way and very good rain drain capabilities. They are way better than the awful concrete motorway that you can still find in germany

Germany is also among the most congested country in europe. It is a pain to drive there, as the germans are constantly rebuilding their roads, generating endless trafic jams. A8 karlsruhe- munich has never had a day without road works in 30

It's going to be difficult to prove that VW cheating led to asthma deaths and pollution. It's easy to say that VW is the root of all evil, but the most popular vehicles sold in the US are pickup trucks, which have a diesel engine

I find it funny when you know it is Napoleon who forced every dutch to chose a surname in order to build up a registry (to tax them of course) . It is the source of the many funny names that the dutch have, as they thought they will have a

Very few people I know are eating home. Home prices have increased and city centers became unaffordable for many people. So people are buying homes outside the city center, which adds commuting time. I have 30min drive to reach my home, 16k

I find it funny that the US requires to have engraved "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" on their mirror, and yet allow to sell cars with dubious autonomous driving claims which are misleading.

The problem with that sort of artisan is that you never know if it is really artisan stuff, or factory prepared mixtures. Many shops look like artisan shos, but are just selling overpriced factory food. I really became wary of them. In Fran

For me a recipe is just a description of the steps to recreate the main gist of a dish. In a dish, you have the main steps giving the most flavour, and stuff added or swappef to enhance it. Once you understand which are the main steps givin

For sure it is cheaper. On the scale of a house, it is not so much, i spent maybe 300€ of wires alone for my house (mix of 1.5 and 2.5mm2). But you need also to add the manpower cost. With 240V 16A (standard for a 5 plug circuit) breaker yo

there is a higher risk associated with 240V, but now all new home circuit require RCD (30mA in France is the norm now together with the big 500mA RCD from the utility). I've done the circuit in my home, sometimes with live current, but

My god, the US judiciary system is so broken in many ways that it is beyond repair. It is crazy how a company making false claims can ruin you so easily, and you cannot fight back or be compensated.

In France they show the country of origin (region when it is from France) and the variety. Sometimes they state if it is organic. Generally, the French fruits are more expensive but tastier. But when it is the high season of the fruit, like

France has 30 millions less people and is 50% bigger than germany (550000km2 vs 350000km2), so no, it is not comparable. Germany is way denser than France, with a lot big cities.
