That’s why we also need to reduce our use of pretty much everything. We can never reach zero fossil fuel used, unless we start by reducing the amount of stuff we buy/use, starting with things that currently use fossil fuels: cars, shipping, flights, plastics and so on.
Then we could use renewable energies only or nuclear only or a mix of both to power what is truly necessary for our lives.
Nice, I will be attending if the DB is okay with that. I don’t have any practical knowledge in neither Nix nor Rust but I’m interested in both so that’s a great meetup. Do you know if the speakers will talk in German or in English ?
Where I was working Excel was used for the specification of scientific data. You get stuff like thousands of rows in several sheets themselves in multiple files that inherit from one another and everything is edited by hand… And I maintained a tool that combined them to create binary files from this mess. Lot of fun.
As a French living in Germany, I often take the train to visit some friends/family. I would say it’s working well from Frankfurt to Lyon or Frankfurt to Paris and not too expensive if you have a Bahncard and you can plan your trip in advance. But IMO, it the least we should expect from 2 neighboring countries.
I’m very excited to see the resurgence of night trains though, I love this mean of transport in particular!
It depend on your morphology I guess: for me below 15km rides, I can wear jeans and it’s fine, but above that it starts to be painful. When I’m touring I really enjoy having my cycling pant, even a cheap one does the job perfectly for me. But again, I have a quite large distance between my ischium bones, so the same may not apply to everyone.
I think that’s unfair, in a city for example every equipment made for bikes, like a bridge above a road with lots of traffic or smooth road crossings, make the life of disabled easier too. I’m thinking about wheelchairs, but I guess it’s true even for people who struggle with walking too. And to me, the “fuck cars” Utopia is certainly way more inclusive for the disabled than the current situation.
It’s the same for us in France. We barely get any news from Germany, apart from who is the current chancellor and the big headlines. I now live in Germany and it feels very strange to have so few knowledge of the politics of where I live (my german is way too weak for now to properly understand it)
I found out there is actually a builtin function in telescope to fuzzy search in registers. In case someone is interested, I made this binding to access it (lua):
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>se', require('telescope.builtin').registers, { desc = '[S]earch r[E]gister' })
I’m not yet sure how to keep the history of deletion though.
Just someone learning DE here and I’m not sure to understand fully the article. Would that mean a specific ticket would be necessary to travel with his bike in place of the usual Deutschland ticket ? Maybe I’m confused because on RMV network, we can travel freely with our bikes. In other regions do you need to pay each time for a fahrrad ticket in addition to your Deutshland ticket ? (feel free to reply in german, it’s easier to read than write!)
Nice! Aren’t the carrots too soft and floppy once pickled ?
I don’t play that much any more sadly, only one evening per week with the buddies but BG3 looks very appealing. Do you think it can be enjoyed casually ?
Pour te donner une idée le dernier que j’ai fait c’était en janvier 2023 Paris->Toulouse en couchette de 2nd classe, c’était 37€ mais j’ai déjà payé 48€ pour le même service. Après ca varie fortement, c’est clairement moins cher si tu peux reservé en avance. Ca m’est arrivé de payer 150€ parceque je reservais le jour même et qu’il ne restait que des billets de 1er classe.
Pour avoir fait pas mal de fois Toulouse-Paris en train de nuit l’année dernière, c’est vraiment top. J’y dors généralement bien et ça me donne l’impression de ne pas perdre de temps dans les transports (même si j’aime bien le train). En plus, je seul moment où je peux apprécier Paris c’est à 7h du mat’ quand il n’y a pas grand monde et que tu peux aller te prendre un café et une tartine dans les cafés qui ouvrent tout doucement. Donc je plussoie fort vers le haut !
Je suis étonné que les Pays Bas soient aussie haut, ils ont la réputation de manger un sandwich triangle devant le pc le midi et des tartines le soir. Ca vaut aussi dans une moindre mesure pour les Allemands.
Here it is https://unisa.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/delivery/61USOUTHAUS_INST/12177058790001831 I haven’t read it, just doing my part for open science. By the way, unpaywall is a great browser extension to quickly go around publishers paywalls: https://unpaywall.org/welcome
It seems the temperature has been slightly hotter about 6500 years ago for a period of around 2 centuries with temperature estimated between +0.8 and +1.8 °C compared to 19th century, but this is subject to debate, (see for example https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0530-7).
Before that, we have to go back to a period where most Homo Sapiens were living in Africa about 125,000 years ago, where warming was likely +0.5 to +1.5°C compared to the same 19th century baseline.
Regardless if there was periods much hotter in the long past, the big difference with today’s situation is the rate at which this warming is taking place. For example, for the “6500 years ago” period, it took about 3000 years of warming to go from +0 to it’s maximum (which is between +0.8 and +1.8 °C). Today we are at about +1.1°C and it took us only 100 years, through fossil fuels burning and farming to reach that and most of which happened in the past 50 years.

Also, about oxygen 16 and oxygen 18:
The water remaining in the ocean develops increasingly higher concentration of heavy oxygen compared to the universal standard, and the ice develops a higher concentration of light oxygen. Thus, high concentrations of heavy oxygen in the ocean tell scientists that light oxygen was trapped in the ice sheets. The exact oxygen ratios can show how much ice covered the Earth. Sources:
