Aren't the impacts painful? I've used small hammers that were all steel and they weren't there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.

French fair trade brand with a lot of choice: Éthiquable

Not sure if they export much. The prices in France are reasonable considering cocoa prices make even junk chocolate quite expensive.

Try adding a zero or two to that estimate. If you end up killing people without insurance your life's over, with insurance if you weren't in the wrong you're mostly fine.

You need less energy per km to cycle at a relaxed pace compared to walking.

You live in an urban area right? If you're in the North of Norway and you still think like this you must be superhuman (I've only visited the North of Sweden once in February and I wouldn't want to cycle anywhere further than 5-10 km in those conditions).

It's not the entire country that stops working but there's indeed a significant reduction. If you don't have children you'd have to be crazy to take time off work during the school holidays in summer (and also like the heat if you're going somewhere in France because nowhere has mild temperatures anymore).

The legal minimum for full time jobs is 5 weeks but most people have more since they have jobs where you get extra rest time since you work more than 35h/week. Some affluent French people go skiing 2-3 times a year for a week or two each time and then also take two weeks off in summer, all paid.

I used to have 56 paid days off (that's 11 weeks because Saturday and Sunday didn't count) each year because I worked a lot more than the legally mandated hours and I had advantageous time credit for showing up early and leaving late and 4 days extra because I never took time off during school holidays (incentive to keep the shifts fully staffed). The pay was shit but at least I could go on trips all the time. I did end up getting a lot of those days paid instead because I didn't have enough money to travel all the time and I couldn't be bothered to stay home.

With this much time off our productivity was still very good, everything was timed and we always went above 100% of targets and long-term projects always done early.

Blue collar work in the USA looks like a scam in comparison: working the same job I would have had less purchasing power (sure the numbers entering your bank account are higher, but the health insurance alone cancels it out), more working hours and a lot less paid leave.

Sans oublier l'opacité totale des contrats d'achat de vaccins passés par la Commission européenne pour la bagatelle de 57 milliards. Les versions qui ont été rendues publiques sont caviardées au maximum. La Commission fait trainer depuis 2021 pour refuser de donner les noms des négociateurs et déclare en prime qu'ils n'ont pas de conflits d'intérêts. (Vu qu'ils considèrent que von der Leyen n'en a pas c'est un peu gros)

Donc non seulement il y a du gaslighting sur les effets secondaires mais en plus on ne sait pas où sont les responsabilités selon les contrats de la CE, ni quels recours en cas de défauts de fabrication… ça fait beaucoup de secrets dans l'intérêt des vendeurs de ces vaccins.

Bon choix de photo, la goule irradiée qui refuse de lâcher le morceau est bien représentée.

Mine turns off in the dark so that may help. I based my remarks off the manual. Good to know they're pessimistic.

It's not that inconvenient considering how shitty the Signal desktop experience is: it's slow, bloated and has moody sync.

SimpleX is anonymous and works well.
