"The way #Parisians are now #traveling from the #suburbs to the #city #center , especially during peak periods, has undergone a #revolution thanks in part to the #building of many miles of #cycleways ."

KlausGerdGiesen, 1 month ago to nuclear

Unlike other #nuclear #states , #France has chosen to reprocess its nuclear #waste on a massive scale, first at La Hague and then partly in... #Russia .While this saves 20% of #natural #uranium in #French nuclear #power #plants ,the #choice is politically highly questionable, since not only has it already accumulated 100 tonnes of #plutonium stored in France, which represents an enormous #risk , but it also contributes to financing the #Russian #state and, consequently, its #war in #Ukraine .

KlausGerdGiesen, 2 months ago to Ukraine

If #President #Macron really wanted to help #Ukraine more against the #Russian invader, he wouldn't dangle improbable #Western #troops on the spot, but would finally put enough pressure on the big #French #firms still active in #Russia - such as #Auchan , #Coface , #TotalEnergies , #Etam , #Lacoste , #Orano , #BIC & #Veolia - to stop their profitable #business there,and would cease all #cooperation of the #French #state with #Russian firms such as #Rosatom . Otherwise, it's just a #smokescreen .

There definitely is a lack of #international attention for #Hamas ' long-term #hostages .Among them are #mentally #ill #civilians which shows that the so-called #Islamic #combatants in #Gaza actually have no idea about the #ethics of the #religion they claim to fight for.

#Voyager1 is still #alive ,but faces serious #system issues. Launched in 1977 it is now 15 billion miles away from us in the #interstellar #space (i.e. outside our #solar system), the most distant #human #artefact .One of the main #obstacles to fix the issue: "the #people that built the #spacecraft are not alive anymore."

KlausGerdGiesen, 5 months ago to italy

With a #constitutional change, #Italy 's #PM #Meloni "wants to automatically give the #party with the highest percentage of #votes a 55% share of seats in #parliament .In other words, as long as one party receives more votes than any other — even if that were, say, 20% of the #national vote — it will be rewarded with outright parliamentary #control ."
Of course,it's pure #coincidence that Meloni's #FratellidItalia is likely to be that party after the next #elections...

Meine Sammlung and #Handschuhen fürs #fahrrad fahren im Winter aka #FrostPendeln .
"The optimal number of gloves is n+1?"

Aber im Dauerregen fahre ich trotzdem nach ~1h mit nassen Fingern. Kennt jemand eine Handschuhlösung die wirklich wasserdicht ist?

Pourquoi sommes-nous tellement accros à Google Maps et Waze ? Comment fonctionnent réellement les logiciels de navigation et quelles sont les alternatives libres ?

Article détaillé (et long) pour tenter d’appréhender les technologies derrière la navigation sur notre smartphone et en comprendre les enjeux.

#EuropeanCommission study : “Over the course of 2022, the audience and reach of #Kremlin-aligned #socialmedia accounts increased substantially all over #Europe [...] The reach and influence of Kremlin-backed accounts has grown further in the first half of 2023, driven in particular by the dismantling of #Twitter ’s [now #X ] safety standards.” #Facebook , #Instagram and #Telegram are also critized.

Wichtiger Hinweis für Reisende mit #Bahn und #Rad im europäischen Ausland:

Fahradstellplätze reservieren ist bekanntlich Pflicht. Auf der alten Seite der DB geht das leider nicht. Auf der neuen im Probebetrieb: https://next.bahn.de ist es jetzt möglich.

Die Verbindungen müssen ein grünes Rad-Icon haben.
Hätte ich das früher gewusst hätte ich mir 1,5h Sunden Warteschleife im Telefonservice sparen können.

Und ihr wisst es jetzt! Bitte, gerne!
