The article is from May 19, 2022. I can find very little information about the vote of this Wednesday. While I don’t doubt its authenticity, I find it unlikely that it would pass. Last time they tried, doing it much more loudly and going as far as spreading disinformation campaigns on TV and in social media, they still completely failed at having the legislation passed. To me it looks like someone is finishing their mandate, so they are scrambling to show that they are doing the work they have been paid to do (by lobbist, obviously not by the people).

I hope I will not be proven wrong.

It will ruin you back yard planet

It looks promising, even though it is quite far away from becoming available to the general public.

Still I wish that there was more of a push for something like a contraceptive pill for men. It feels like it has been ignored for years and only now they are starting a bit with development and trials…

Nice article.

I feel though that, as many others, it compares the carbon footprint of production (panels and batteries) vs the footprint of burning only. By looking at the source of the carbon footprint, it seems that they take into account only the CO2 output of the energy factories, but extraction, transportation and storage has a non-negligible carbon footprint.

Ignoring the technology itself, I found it interesting that it has a lot less trouble with verbs compared to nouns (tho the article does not give much information about it).

Would it mean that humans keeps actions very separate (even if similar), while keeping things and concepts more clustered together? Is being precise on what is happening much more important than clearly specifying the subject and object of the action?

As an avid bidet user I feel compelled to answer your points

• it is always warm water (unless you are a masochist, no judgement)
• it points directly to where it needs to go so it stays confined within its domain
• you have to wipe both before and after (before to wipe away most of it, after to dry it)
• it is not a replacement of tp, it is complementary. You need both to achieve full cleaning

All in all I would not live without it anymore, after trying it and reaching enlightenment. 5/5 stars.

Confusingly enough, in Italy I believe it is not quite a thing “elbow pasta”. Personally I have never heard anyone refer to any kind of pasta as “gomiti”, though Google showed me that they indeed exist. I have always heard the ones that looks like elbows in other names.

Thank you for making me discover elbow pasta! It deepens my conviction that everything in Italy is somehow related to pasta…

Even though the letter U is definitely existing in the vocabulary, in Italian it is called “elbow turn” (curva a gomito)!
