We also have electric ferries here in Antwerp and Ostend. I don't think they're hybrid, although it's not clear when they get charged, I would assume during the wait times (about 15 minutes wait and 5 minutes ferrying) but I

That territory is not going to "cease to be", it's just going to change hands. The uncertainty was entirely created as an easy way to get views.

It's like the E in E numbers , EAN13 , ETSI and ECMAScript or the A in ASCII . It never stopped anyone else from using those, they are de facto worldwide standards.

Wow indeed. Though I think the 4.99 ones are by weight, for 2 lbs? Seems weird though so I'm not sure.

Well I just have the reverse experience. My cargo bike is practical, has not been stolen yet and up to four children under 6 are fine to transport in it. I don't feel it especially unsafe. I also use it for groceries. Sometimes using b

3 phase for ovens? That seems totally overkill to me. In France even though they're not usually plugged into a standard socket, all the ovens I've used ran on standard single phase current. Houses are almost never wired for 3 phas

> The BS1363 is so massive that it shrugs off power loads of multiple kilowatts They do have a higher current rating than the French and German standards (30A vs. 16A) but even those do support up to 4 kW. Ovens also run at 3 kW or so

Since it's less efficient than modern processes I don't think it had any application besides the fun of a DIY project. Though I guess it's an interesting way to obtain nitric acid for individuals, since access to it is quite

The parking ticket machine might make things deliberately slow because the printer needs to warm up or something. Maybe it needs up to 5 seconds to warm up if it's in deep sleep, so splitting this into three 2s periods provides the lea

Your dad might not be the best example of a healthy lifestyle. Because they (and many other people) drank more than that, doesn't mean it's a good diet. The Romans drank they wine cut with water though I think.

That doesn't seem likely, because they separately listed parts of France that are wholly in the EU (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion and French Guiana, separate tariffs there are as meaningless as having separate tariffs for Berlin and

It's the same for all the non-EU French territories. EU citizenship is not territorial, it's directly linked to the person's nationality so you wouldn't remove EU citizenship from a French citizen just because he happens

Do Tesla cars have stereo vision, though? I don't think they build a 3D model of the world around them at all, while humans do (not only based on our stereo vision) and largely rely on that to drive.
