If you say pamplemousse instead, the sneeze will sound fancier.
I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

For a stronger version, don’t buy it this time, just take a picture. If you really want it, then you should be motivated to come again to get it.


If you’re unhappy and don’t know it, eat one more snack. Crunch crunch.
I couldn’t find any reliable source, but the most convincing idea I read was to reduce contrast and glare issues between the white chalk and its background. The green would reflect more light than the black, reducing the contrast and the glare. Also, the original blackboards were made of black slate, but then they became synthetic which made it easier to change the color.
It’s just viral marketing by OpenAI, and it’s working well.


I’d like to mention learning to handle abstract concepts in particular. This is why “hard” science graduates can do good in software engineering, because it also relies on juggling with a shitload of abstractions. I know someone who’s really good at solving practical and communication problems in daily life, but they didn’t finish highschool, and as soon as the discussion becomes abstract, their brain just blanks.


If they caught some babies or other parasite in the meantime, you may have saved much more lives.
Apps don’t get to decide to interrupt me, that my decision.
I basically apply this to everything, my phone is always silent unless I am waiting for a call.


There are conventional definitions of the poverty line. In France, it is defined by the national institute of statistics as:
The poverty threshold is conventionally set at 60% of the population’s median standard of living. It corresponds to a disposable income of €1,288 per month for a single person and €2,705 for a couple with two children under 14 years old. https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/5759045


If that doesn’t work, see a plumber.


Maybe one starting point is the 2 tones of CO₂ estimated to be the annual budget per person to stay at 1.5°C of global warming (already passed). For people living in rich countries, staying under the 2t requires active efforts, it’s possible since developing countries do it, but they are often considered too much of a hassle by the average rich country person: little to no individual car, little to no plane, home energy performance investments, smaller home, less animal food, shopping local etc.

As far as I understand, for the basic needs, it’s totally possible to sustain the demographic peak that should be around 10 billion humans in 2100. But certainly not with the current level of resources consumption in rich countries.

Resistance networks who hid and smuggled targets out of reach at the very least.
There’s no sizable USA conservative group who think Charlie Kirk was far right? It seems there’s quite a gap between socially liberal and Charlie Kirk.


On MMOs, trying not to sound like a kid, even though I was a kid, so I could join groups of cool people and guilds. Learned a lot of American lingo on Reddit.


I have been playing acoustic guitar since childhood. I like when I listen to a piece that marvels me, then I work on it a few minutes every day for months, and eventually I start to render part of it good enough that I can find the same pleasure as listening but from the other side. One of my current study subject is Prelude n⁰1 by Heitor Villa-Lobos. https://youtu.be/Pmry5uquwDI
I thought ME was an acronym for some popular politician here, took me time to understand.
Maybe she could move like a millipede thanks to the leg snakes.
