The initial ranking criteria is litteraly how long of a drive is the restaurant worth.
- * High-quality cooking, worth a stop
- ** Excellent cooking, worth a detour
- *** Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey

A bit unrelated but I remember a drunk conversation with someone working in a had station in Geneva.
The sociological aspect of the gas station is fascinating, within the same minute you can interact with a homeless coming to use the toilet and a guy coming to refill his Lamborghini.
Don't forget ISO216 for paper size. It does not make sense that the US is still using "letter" and "legal" paper size.
Jeremy Soule made some soundtracks.
Guild wars 1 and 2, Skyrim ...
From my experience it's quite good in the Caribbean and it's getting better.
This, seriously !
When I was going to youth camp (2-3 weeks camping in the forest every summer plus weekend during the years) I realize that the mood of a team during the bad time (cold, wet from the rain, no hot shower for days ...) was strongly related to how good the cook was.
Probably diplomatic passport holder.
The yearly average for Spain in 2023 is 160g CO2/kWh (yellow).
25% of their electricity was produced with wind, 22% nuclear, 16% solar and 10% hydro. And also 22% of gas that brought their CO2 up.
This is a huge win compared to gold mining.
Gold mining is using cyanure and caustic soda (in the best case, the worst case is using boiling mercury)
Yes, the map sources try to include the CO2 emissions of all the chain.
When doing that you see that nuclear still has very low emissions. Nuclear is a lot of CO2 emissions for construction but after that there is not much. The fact that most of the French nuclear reactor are almost 40 years old means that the impact of construction is already diluted.
Uranium mining is polluting, yes, but you need so little that it does not really have a big impact on the CO2/kWh ratio. 1kg of natural uranium produce as much energy as 14,000kg of coal !
What is interesting on this map is that right now the green countries either have a lot of nuclear, a lot of hydroelectricity or both. Country with a lot of wind and solar struggle to meaningfully lower their CO2 emissions. I think it will come but right now the backup power used for when solar and wind production are low is often polluting and counterbalance the low emissions of renewable energy.
I love that Herzog made the documentary "My Best Fiend" AFTER Kinski's death.
... in north America.
My experience in Europe where the EV infrastructure is more developed, long trip are not an issue. I don't even plan my trip, I just go and charge when I need it.
