Le fabuleux voyage de l’oncle Ernest (the translation would be Uncle Ernest’s Fabulous Journey, but I don’t think it’s been released outside of France)

I don’t remember much of the game but I loved it as a kid, around 9-10.

The game is about the traveling journal of our adventurer uncle: Ernest. From what I remember it’s like a virtual treasure hunt, trying to find clues to find our uncle. It’s a lot of minigames going through Africa, Istanbul, Borneo …

France’s military industry is having wet dreams thinking about it.

If the US pulls out of NATO France becomes the biggest arms exporter of NATO and I would expect other countries will become less enthusiastic at the idea of buying US weapons systems.

I got an opinel one for 30€, it’s a another great bifl brand.

The wings are crazy ! They look way too flimsy for what they do.

Next time you see an airplane, imagine a crane picking it up by the wings, around the middle of the wing length, and then start shaking it up.

It does not look like the wing will be able to hold that much weight.

It is not really to cross marshy ground but more to spot it and avoid it.

It also helps to keep an eye on all the sheep despite all the tall grass around them.

Get a good quality bike with standard components and you should be able to repair it easily.

As other said avoid cheap low cost bike but also very high end bike that are more likely to use proprietary parts.

For the frame the best option would be steel, if it does break you can easily weld it back with a regular welder.

Aluminum is the second best option, a bit lighter but it will fatigue, so over the years the frame will wear out slightly.

Carbon is the worst for reparability, very fragile and impossible to repair.

What we do know is that Intelsat 33e has a history of issues while in orbit. Designed and manufactured by Boeing, the satellite was launched in August 2016.

I think we all know what the issue with the satellite was.

Torture and money will give you a ton of information but not reliable information.

Because in the first case the person will say anything to make you stop and in the second case the person will say anything to make you continue.

No, NASA has the budget. They already spent $50 billion on the development of SLS and Orion, Starship development cost is estimated to be around $10 billion.

So in theory with the money they spent on SLS they could have built 5 starship program.

The problem is that NASA has to follow political interests, sometimes the political interests align with technical interest and we get great things like the Apollo program.

Imagine you want to build a cabin in a very remote place in Alaska.

Getting there is quite difficult, you did it a few times in the 60’s but the path is so bad that you had to throw the truck away each time (around $45,000 per trip, for the truck + gas)

You are still planning to build your cabin but having to buy a new truck for each trip is not great, plus the fact that only one company can make this SLS truck so you can’t get more than once a year.

Building a cabin in these circumstances is close to impossible.

Now SpaceX makes a new Starship truck that can go all the way AND be reused. The trip from the hardware store to the build site now only costs you around $100 for the gas plus truck expenses AND you can now do the trip to the hardware store multiple times a day !

Now building the cabin becomes way more accessible.

Replace the Alaskan cabin with a scientific base on the moon or Mars and multiply the amounts by 100,000 and you have an approximation of the situation

and if this needs to be the same as the USB-C connector the EU adopted.

The consideration should be quick, “Should we use a different charging standard that the EU ? No”

If not they are seriously delusional

In the meantime Arianespace divided by 3 their number of rocket launches

It reached the altitude of 96km, not space but not far either.

Like this father who got his account closed because he took a picture of his toddler penis to send to their pediatrician.

The picture was automatically backed up in Google photo and flagged as child pornography.

Easy, just compress all your collection into 24kbps mp3.

The MX3 is USBC

It reminds me of Elden ring

The tartiflette, a very popular traditional meal from Savoy in the Alps, was invented in the 70s !

Factorio !

Caramelized apple ice cream is amazing !
