Sorry I'm struggling, but when you say they, you mean the junior? Anyhow as you say, performance was not there and the other team quitted as well. There's that.

160 millions people with many men having nothing to do... I've been in Russia several times. Putin gave something like 200000 ruble for each baby born, the natality exploded. They are not really bothered by human losses, they are more

Well we need more boys for the army as we need to defend against Russia. We also need boys to construct heavy infrastructure / equipment. The fact that only boys are obliged to fight on the front line and do the ultimate sacrifice both

Winter is the coldest period where you always require to heat (in northern Europe), but you still need to heat your house in autumn and spring. I usually start my gas boiler in October, but this year I started it only last week because we h

Why not both? Here it is the company owning the parking lot which is impacted, and it will generate money in three long run for them. There is no relation with a budget required to build a nuclear reactor

Yes, and signed by the President. However the sequence is usually assemblee nationale and then sénat. Hence when it passes sénat (they do not hold a lot of power actually), it can be scheduled to be signed and published.

In Europe we have water based heating system, be it radiator or floor heating. That changes the equation quite a bit, and also impact what type of heat pump you can install (low temp or mid temp). The best is to have a hybrid system: a heat

That's brazen. They annoyed France with nuclear energy, they especially wanted to close nuclear reactor near Germany. Fessenheim finally got closed last year, only to prolong their own nuclear reactor. In my opinion, Germany lost all s

Why? Many country do this. You need a number to value somehow the property, it is fair that a 15m2 flat pays less taxes than a private hotel of 5000m2, no? Rubbish needs to be removed, water needs to be provided and treated, police is neede

I'm not living in Dijon. I speak about zoning law who segregate residential and industrial areas. But I had a look at Amora factory and the first thing I notice is that there is no bike lane on the road leading to the factory, which is

Of course that depends, the place I'm working now has a train station just in front of the building, but I don't take it because there are only 2 train in the morning and 2 in the evening. My previous employer had a train station

In Germany you have factories in the city and that is great. Many people are living just around the factory, and they benefit from the extensive public transport network that a city provide. My example is Stuttgart, working for one of the b

I did the 15km ride in my city to reach the factory. I can tell you that it is very stressful to ride a bike on a busy road with no bike lane, filled with trucks driving at 70kmh (because this road is the one that trucks must take as they

this is a very stupid law in my opinion. There is a push from city dwellers to ban cars, but when you work in a factory which is 10km away from the city how do you do without cars? The factory area in my city has no bike lane, no tramway

credit card was common in France since the 90s, nearly every shop took carte bleu/crédit card. Going to Germany is like going back living in cave, it is crazy to be told to get cash at the ATM in the shop for 1000 euros worth of goods

I don't understand this argument. Why are we not free to do something stupid and die? Why after every death, people say that this and that should be not allowed to prevent further death?

I believe earth will survive anyway, and if we die in the process so be it. Either we find a way to be in harmony with Earth (not consuming more than what it can generate), or we die. Currently we are in a path where the majority of us are
