Lors de la dernière législative j'ai voté par internet (français de l'étranger).

L'élection de notre député et un nouveau vote a été effectué car une partie des électeurs n'ont pas reçu les SMS avec les codes de vérification pour voter.

C'est ça le problème du vote par internet, ça fait reposer le bon déroulé des élections sur des acteurs privés.

Ça ouvre la porte a tellement de manipulations potentiels. Dans le cas des français a l'étranger aller voter leur signifier devoir prendre un billet d'avion a plusieurs centaines d'euros, une nuit d'hôtel et deux jours de voyage. Dans ce cas la balance penche en faveur du vote par internet malgré les défauts, en métropole c'est moins évident.

Its perfectly possible to use human waste as a fertilizer, on earth you just need to compost it for around two years to make sure that the pathogens are gone.

As someone said on the moon the process might just be to leave it outside for a bit and you get a perfectly sterile pile of fertilizer

I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.

So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it's a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.

Or do like what the people are the bike rental company I went to did.

They wore regular clothes and took an angle grinder with them (the key broke in the U-lock).

Kindly ask the nearest shop to plug the angle grinder to cut open the lock on the bike that was in the street, went on with it and left with the bike.

No one bother to ask any question.

One word: privatization

France too, I came back a few months ago and after a month.

I had my number for years but suddenly after a month I started receiving a lot of spam. I would love to know who gave away my number too.

At least now at the spam calls have to come from specific numbers so it's easy to block.

Oil is honestly an amazing product, chemistry wise there is so much we can do with it and energy wise it's a extremely concentrated and easily transported form of energy.

Energy wise one liter of oil is equivalent to 10 person working for a day !

I repeat, using one liter of oil is like having 10 "slaves" working for us for a day.

Its easy to see why oil became the base of our modern civilization, and easy to see why we don't manage to stop using it even though it's destroying us.

Yeah, when I wanted to buy an electric car I look at the used market for the Renault Zoe but I quickly gave up.

The idea of paying a monthly subscription on a used car quickly turned me off and buying the leased battery back from Renault was prohibitively expensive.

I stopped reading the article there.

Either the author is voluntarily misleading or he has no idea of what he is talking about.

Here is the map all the fast charging stations (>100kW) along the way between Paris and the Mont St Michel.

The Tesla model 3 in Europe uses the standard combo CCS plug so it can use all of these stations.

I did not count them but at a first glance the number of charger is higher than "none"

Edit: OK I read the article after all but I really don't see what problem battery swapping would solve.

I could see a use case for public transport that has to go a specific road and need to run non stop every days but even then I suspect that having overhead cable on a short section to charge the battery while running would be more appropriate than battery swapping.

The article is talking about the lack of charging station but battery swapping just make the problem way way worse. A battery charger is just a parking spot and a high voltage AC - DC transformer connected to the grid. It's relatively cheap and easy to install, does not take much space and work for all electric cars compared to a battery swapping station that can only work for one specific brand (specific model too ?) need robotics and plenty of storage. Its much harder and expensive to install and you need one charging station per brand. This means less stations overall.

Finally there is the speed of charging, this is true that battery swapping is probably faster than fast charging but honestly I don't find charging an electric car that inconvenient.

On long highway trips I need to stop around 20 minutes every 2 hours, a 20 minutes break every 2 hours is not that bad, just enough time for a toilet break, a quick coffee before going back on the road.

I'm sorry but 1 star out of 5 on the European NCAP is terrible ! This car is a death trap !

I would never set a foot in a Chinese ....

Oh wait ! I was looking at the Jeep wrangler, never mind.

The BYD has a 5 star rating as well as an the other chinese cars I checked.
