> sometimes fossil fuels are a good fit There is simply NO safe level of fossil fuel use.

> we could stop the nuclear plants when needed for cooling Well that's exactly what they did thanks to solar power provided by the rest of the grid, so your snark seems rather unwa…

No that's never the problem, even 40°C intake is cool enough to cool a reactor, it's all just a question of returned water temperature that can be harmful to a river if too high (g…

> from the Western world You might be overgeneralising just a little bit here as outside the US and the UK, I think few people in the Western world care about the accent of Indians…

The fondamental thing here is that humans 40k years ago could live in the toundra because we can live in the toundra today, and they had a similar behaviour to ours. So they made c…

All we know basically is that their skeletons are undistinguishable from ours, with a brain the same size as ours (slightly later on average iirc) and what they left, tools and pai…

> how do the French feel about Cervantes vs. Victor Hugo? I don't think anybody would mind since there's already Marie Curie, which is an obvious choice because she's both Polish a…

> there are many 'American' cars on the road here I'd say the Netherlands is the exception here, almost all such cars that I see on the roads (mostly in France) are from the Nether…

Is that a justification for resuming slavery, child labour and dumping chemicals in our rivers?

> immigrants who fled because they hated the way the system worked in their original countries I'm not convinced, as the people who designed the US system had extensive exchanges w…

Well I understood that much, but I'm not sure what link it could have with the shape of the x, especially since the English don't do it the same way as India.

I've learned to write x the way this post says (two mirrored c's) but I don't understand what you mean by "independence days". We don't have one in France anyway.

> Venice in general That's weird because in Venice I never had a single problem, didn't feel scammed or anything, ate in very nice restaurants (I do avoid the tourist shops and res…

I wrote that because I wanted to avoid a sterile discussion on whether or not my comment was valid because the article was not written by a human. As I said, the actual remark I ma…

It's a general feeling more than a precise diagnosis, and I guess it could also be a human that has internalised LLM style, or a human-written draft that was reworded by an LLM. Bu…

I had not seen it, but there isn't really an equivalent to a green card or permanent residency in most of Europe. Usually you just get naturalised after having spent 5 or 10 years …

And Decathlon's bikes are Van Rysel , which does mean "from Lille" (where the bikes are designed) but you wouldn't know it unless you speak Dutch. I don't think they hide anything …

Apparently net migration has been towards the EU rather than towards the USA since 2022, but I can't find a better source than this: https://x.com/benbawan/status/20493033269996098…

I wouldn't recommend getting wrong things into their heads, because you (or someone else) will eventually have to teach them that it was not true, or they will discover it themselv…

Honestly it's not the first time I read such comments, and... they're not about the British as much as they are about the Americans, I'd say. I think almost all of the expressions …

I think one of the problems is people thinking kids are more stupid than they are, and blanket "don't do that" statements without explanations don't really work for kids. If they h…
