I don't know how the survey was done but if it's like a phone survey I would imagine that a lot of people would answer "I don't care" to whatever the question is. They just don't care about answering a phone survey.

I discovered creamer recently, I honestly don't get it. It tastes awful and why not use actual cream or milk in coffee than this thing ?

They still do, they do military aircraft, drones and helicopters.

They can just stop supplying you with spare parts and the plane will not stay flying for very long.

I'm a manufacturing engineer specialized in machining exotic alloys and complex parts, even though I have changed career a few years ago I have experience in manufacturing complex military parts.

So I would probably be in a factory trying to produce as much military equipment as possible.

"A country with experience in fab construction can build one faster and cheaper than a country with no experience"

Yeah, not really surprising

I believe you can flash klipper on the Prusa printers, they even have an official page on how to flash custom firmware and it does not break their warranty.

As others have said, there is no right answer but here are my thoughts based on my experience.

Mortgage

The apartment is under your name so I would expect you to pay the mortgage.

One thing you could do is that your girlfriend puts a share of the mortgage cost into a savings account under her name. It could be the equivalent of what she's paying now for her rent of the equivalent of your mortgage minus 30%.

This way if you stay together and decide to buy a new home you can both contribute to it with a nice down payment and if you split up you both get your marbles back.

It also levels your salaries and you are contributing equally to the housing cost so there is no resentment being built on your side.

Utilities and groceries

What I did with my girlfriend (now wife) is that we were doing a pro rata monthly contribution to a bank account that was used for everyday life. In your case you are earning 30% more then you can contribute 30% more to this account. Then everything like electricity, groceries, restaurants together ... Was deducted from this account.

It's quite easy to get a free bank account with two cards so we used that (we used N26 at the time but there are plenty of options, the bank account was technically a single person account with two cards but it did not really matter since we were not keeping a lot of money in it). We started by keeping track of all our expenses on an app like Tricount and regularly balancing our contribution, it's easy to set up but it requires to keep track of all our expenses and was quite annoying to do on the long term.

Wow! I only realized now why the *arr software (radarr, sonarr, bazarr ...) are named like that despite using them for years.

Thanks for the epiphany.

It's the plan, build Quebec -> Montreal -> Toronto and then extend it to Windsor

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.

I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject

I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.

Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.

It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.

The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.

So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.

 

Ca m'a donné la banane pour la semaine !

Edit : aaaah ! J'ai été trop lent d'une minute.

 

To be fair they were also using encrypted messaging to talk to each other like WhatsApp and Signal, they even show their mom how to use it which is extremely suspicious.

“All members of this group were particularly suspicious, only communicating with each other using encrypted applications, in particular Signal, and encrypting their computers and devices […].

when the DGSI [a French security agency charged with counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups] has questioned Bastien about what he thinks of Macron. A photograph on his computer is mentioned, which according to them details the President's security arrangements for the July 14th parade. (...)

The device in question (an aerial photo taken from the press) is highlighted in such a way as to draw a dick. A dick.

The link is made with Bastien's passion for drones. The implication is that he could have used a drone to attack this dick-shaped device using explosives.

I'm wanted to share with you the blog that my wife is writing, she's writing about parenting and relationships and she's making some amazing articles !

 

I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.

It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.

It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.

This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
