Yes! Fat by itself isn’t unhealthy.
The best example is Italy, it has the lowest obesity rate of Europe, (1) but also has the highest consumption of cooking oil of Europe (2)
I was surprised in Italy when I saw how much olive oil they used while cooking. For me oil was just like a cooking aid so stuff does not stick to the pan, in Italian cuisine olive oil is not just an aid, it’s part of the ingredients
It’s a shame because salt water pools are honestly so much better and I think overall it was cheaper for us as well.
Instead of adding chlorine every week the salt system just keeps the chlorine level at the right minimal level all the time. So no chlorine smell in the pool and the pool was much cleaner.
I was in a situation similar to this one in real life: having to adjust the salt level in a pool.
In metric:
The pool is 8*4 m long and 2m deep on average, the current salt level is 2g/l and the salt comes in 20kg bags.
How many bags of salts do I need to pour in the pool to adjust the salt level to at least 3g/l ?
Answer:
! The pool contains 8m4m2m= 64m³ or 64000l of water, I need an extra 1g/l of salt per litres so 64000l*1g/l = 64000g or 64 kg. So with 4 bags I’ll have enough salt.
In imperial:
The pool is 20*10ft long and 5ft deep on average, the current salt level is 2000ppm and the salt comes in 40lbs bags.
How many bags of salts do I need to pour in the pool to adjust the salt level to at least 3000ppm?
Answer:
! I’m just gonna drive to the store with my truck to pick up 2 bags at the time and see if it’s enough, no way I’m doing the calculation.
Heart of palm as well
I believe the vast majority of cultivated human cells are cancerous cells anyway.
France did that.
Since 2023, for every parking lot bigger than 1500m², new or already existing, solar panel coverage has to be installed before 2026 or 2028.
The solar panels need to cover at least half the parking lot area.
Another requirement is rainwater management system that cover at least half of the parking area. It can be rainwater collection, trees … Anything that allows rainwater to infiltrate the soil.
PS: for americans, 1500m² is equivalent to 372 king size beds, or 1/2500 central park
Me, trying to find where did I put the tool that I had in my hand 2 minutes ago
I have an EV but did not know about BYO cable, so I went to check what it means and yeah, every AC charger I’ve encountered in Europe is like that. Just a plug, in some cases it’s even protected with a metallic cover that unlocks once you’ve entered your payment information.
It does not work for fast DC charging though.
You can have a look at Docs
It’s developed by the French and German government with the goal of replacing google docs for governments workers.
They even put traffic cones around the ladder truck!
Of course I would have let them do whatever they want around the museum.
I don’t want to imagine the level of procrastination I would have if I were immortal.
Nettle and potato soup is delicious.
It’s almost like it was pure green washing and they never had any intention of reducing greenhouse gases
I doubt think it’s a DNA problem, the amount of roots depends on the amount of leaves.
So keeping the grass short keeps the roots sorry as well
Yes, the brand has been bought by SAIC Motor, a Chinese manufacturer.
They have been doing some nice stuff recently, I own a MG4 (EV), I know a few people who own one as well and I’m quite happy with the car
You can very much travel long distance with EV. With current batteries and charger you need a 15-20 min break every two hours which is what people should do anyway.
There is the new MG4 that has semi solid state batteries.
Wasn’t there a story where scientists sprayed a whole tree with insecticide in the rainforest and they discovered tenths of new bug species?
BMI isn’t perfect but it’s still a good tool to compare two large, similar populations.
And no, being morbidly obese is not healthy.
