Since we are all speculating, here's another one. How about Ukraine doing it ? It annoys the Russians. And Europeans will have a harder time to easily buy some Russian gas if this winter is too cold. Increasing our Russian anger cursor

In my street, it is François Englert (or Robert Brout having the intuition) who found it first. Because his daughter was living in front of my house. And I'm still wondering why Higgs won the name.

I see it frequently here... I suppose it comes from French. Viola means rape(il la viola) or break the law(il viola la loi). The real one is voilà! And dropping the accent, is apparently acceptable in English. Voila! ;)

My wife is -3 myopic, I'm -6 from childhood. And our 3 kids of 19, 17 and 10, have all a perfect sight. They went outside often but nothing extreme. We have big luminous windows. And they spend a fair amount of time on screens too. It

Thank you for the hint. Will do that. I was banned the same way as the OP, few months ago. They(humans)collected my Id, bank details, personal address, original invoice of the items I was selling, some calls, to finally ban my 15+ year use

I'm with Strava for 8 years now. I had my socialisation period. Then my KOM hunting period. And finally a fatigue of both. All my rides are now private. I sync them with GoldenCheetah that provides much more advanced and useful metrics

We just did the same and choose lit + mobx + tailwind after spending 10+ year with our internal framework, alone, without any public documentation or tutorial. And VS Code make them easy to write. In 20+ years of web development, I've

Chet Baker came quite often in Liège in Belgium. His friend the sax player Jacques Pelzer was pharmacist, both were consuming a lot of the shop substances... Pelzer even lost his license. One night in the Atahualpa restaurant, Pelzer was pl

After 20+ years of HTML, CSS I started to use Tailwind for a new project. Using web components (disabling the shadow dom unfortunately). You guessed it right. There is no need for named selectors anymore. And you get the advantages of stan

It was tried and failed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Place_(company) That doesn't mean it wouldn't work today, but probably a harder problem than it looks.

All emigrants live that, isn't it? All sub saharien africans cleaning dishes in our European restaurants live that shock. My grand pa after his first day as a miner in Belgium, wanted to run back under the sun of his Croatian village.

An animal hate about 5 times, if I remember well, the quantity of food you will get by eating its meat. Add then the energy to grow it and its food, shelter, kill, transport, and cool the meat to preserve it. Add then quantities of single u

One programming teacher told me 20 years ago: "you think your technical skills will make you advance your career, wrong, it is your interpersonal ones that will do". I'm not very good at it, but since then I try to work on bo

"...Good journalists put news in the context of reality." Their reality, or the one of their editor. As it as always been. It just looks more obvious now, with all cross sources we can get.

Mountain Bike geometry has changed, they have a longer reach, the stem are shorter, and bars wider for a better leverage. Bar ends would put your arm too wide to be useful. But maybe the real reason is if you ride with bar ends today, chanc

My disabled aunt went regularly to Lourdes in France for some hopeful cure. Once, at the moment to leave to the train station, the cat was nowhere to be found. Heartbroken she left her there, and took the train. 9 months later a dirty and s
