> We have been using ghee in India for thousands of years That in of itself is not a particularly good argument. What has been the life expectancy for those thousands of years?

wouldn't sales be a form of IC ?

Plumbers are in high demand too, but if you are a plumber with depression, lack of experience, that doesn't want to touch waste pipes or shower units, and live in the sticks, it won't apply to you either

if everyone did that they'd have to start injecting ads into your email feed

I’m not a big fan of sugar so I wouldn’t be able to eat a whole cinnamon roll, let alone two. But if I’m doing a big hike I’ll have no problem demolishing a whole tub of rillettes, which must be at least 1000kcal

A single cinnamon roll is nearly 500 calories. As soon as you’re combining fat and sugar things skyrocket

Except that it isn’t you inviting the jam maker, it’s the jam maker saying “I have a direct integration with the guy who manages your apple tree” , when they actually mean “I’ll dress up like you and pick the apples when nobody’s looking”

Yes, it's used heavily in France (with nuclear >70% of production it's a necessity there)

“I ask my neighbours for some of their apples, but if they don’t give them, I go into their garden at nighttime with a big ladder…”

I was shocked by Melon in the US. I’ve been to NYC, Dallas, SF, everywhere the melons have no taste whatsoever. The nice orange colour is there, but there’s little sweetness and absolutely none of the musk/nutmeg

I guess we could outlaw yachts and then collect money to lift all the people who used to build and work on yachts out of poverty :)

Yes there is, because you already have hindsight on what will break often and what won’t. Dacia have the luxury of being able to take the reliable stuff and drop the unreliable stuff

The waiting lists are just as long for the Model Y, no?

Fog lights/low beams issues probably just means they weren't set correctly by the dealership before being sent to test

Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, Kia eNiro/Hyundai Kona, Hyundai EV6, Skoda Enyaq, BMW i series, Mercedes EQ series... the list goes on

That's what surprised me the most in this report - Dacias have a great reputation for reliability! They've got the benefit of 10 years' hindsight on the Renault parts bin. I wonder if there aren't other factors at work (
770.
by namdnay 5y ago
What's strange is that Dacias are extremely reliable. They're built with 10-15 year old Renault components, which means they'll never be cutting edge, but they have great hindsight on what is reliable and what isn't

by namdnay 5y ago
careful, "reliability" can mean a lot of things - having interior trim issues is not the same as DPF problems or ABS lockup

Isn’t it just simpler to vaccinate everyone and be done with it? Instead of tracking who already had an infection etc. Just like we do for all the other vaccines we get. I don’t understand why it’s so controversial. The upside is huge and t

I’ve noticed that in India, it’s cheaper for a foreigner to book an Uber car than hail an auto rickshaw, because the former can’t discriminate

Except that they’re not driving to work, they’re not eating at the cantine/restaurant at lunchtime, they’re not going on holiday, they’re not going out in the evening…

Two things: 1) being a fixed percentage of a median, any variation in the median will change the “poverty rate” without it necessarily meaning anything. If the minimum wage increases by 100 euros, the poverty rate will actually increase

by namdnay 5y ago
Well that was a pretty short article!

by namdnay 5y ago
Careful, the French measure of “poverty” is a percentage of the median income. It’s more an indicator of inequality than anything else And the 200k people laid off from the tourism and other sectors were paid 80% of their previous income by

by namdnay 5y ago
In France? Not really. There was a massive injection of public money. Anyone furloughed was paid 80% to stay at home.

The crash is if you bought a house in 2006 and needed to sell it in 2012 :) > So, prices doubled in the years from 2000 to 2012 - a little under 5% yearly growth. Is that really a crash? 2008 was still a stock market crash, even if the a
