What are you talking about, I was very interested in Greek mythology, it's just that some parts got the attention of my teenager mind more than others.

The Birth of Venus (Bouguereau)

Assuming that the person has any other opportunities.

I think you described quite accurately the difference between introverts and extroverts.

Extroverts gain energy with social interaction whereas it costs energy for introverts to be in these social interactions.

I stayed in an old house in the UK where the owner had to get the windows and doors adjusted every year because the house was moving so much all the opening size would change.

The government could listen to people, this is what protests are, people who want to be heard.

But instead of listening to people the president decided to appoint a far right government despite the fact that the left for the majority during the last election.

MG started offering a lifetime warranty for the battery and drivetrains in Thailand.

It confirms what the article is saying, manufacturers know with their experience that the rest of the car will break before the battery or the motor does.

I got the case once: someone was selling potatoes door to door from a weird van.

We got a few robberies in the village a bit later and the police told us that the people were actually checking all houses to see who was here or not and which houses were worth it.

How do you tell your bank to use simplex to send you a verification code ?

A study from the 80s showed that around 45% of fathers NEVER changed a diaper.

Things changed today but I would not be surprised if the dad never changed a diaper.

What about something like that ?

8 houses in a row, built using a wood structure and straw bale wall for insulation (thermal AND phonic insulation) and clay plaster. So the construction material is storing CO2 rather than emitting tons of CO2 like concrete does.

It collects rainwater for the garden and has enough solar panels for the community and to contribute to the electrical consumption of the village around it.

It leaves a lot of space for land to develop a food forest, permaculture projects and leave space for biodiversity.

Yes, thermal solar panels would be way more appropriate.

While trying to gain a few % through the transformation process OP is not addressing the elephant in the room: PV panels turn around 20% of the sun energy into electricity, thermal panels turn around 80% of the same energy into heat, They are way more efficient.
