It’s interesting to see how much nixos grew over the last 2 years, even though the distribution exists since 2003.

The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.

So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.

Reintroducing mammoths in the arctic could potentially help reduce the climate change.

There is a scientist in Siberia who built the Pleistocene Park. An area where he reintroduced a lot of large herbivores and studied their impact. He’s saying that boreal forest have a very low biodiversity compared to mammoth steppes. The steppes have way more animals, are stocking way more carbon in the soil and prevent methane leaks by keeping the permafrost frozen due to the low albedo of the biome.

The problem is that with the mammoths are indispensable to maintain the steppes. They are the only animal big enough to clear up trees, without them the forest is taking over and all the ecosystem of the steppes disappear.

So (according to this scientist), resurrecting the mammoth could revive a whole ecosystem, with a very rich biodiversity and that could have a give impact on the climate.

This one looked great!

I know it’s not really a truck, it’s a preorder and limited to 80km/h but I love the look of this thing and it cost 10800€

Yes, a few years ago when I was manufacturing aircraft engines (the LEAP specifically) we had three variants of the same engine.

A, B and C for the Airbus A320 neo, Boeing 737 Max and Comac c919.

I would imagine they use the microphone, accelerometer, some processing power and internet connectivity (WiFi or mobile).

Trying to set up a dedicated hardware with ask that would cost way more than just buying a bunch of pixel phone.

Same for the software, on a smartphone you can just create an app that will record and process all the information vs creating a custom firmware on a custom hardware.

I guess there is also the availability of the technicians.

Finding someone to develop and maintain an android app is much easier than finding someone to maintain a custom hardware/firmware.

I was using mainly the emails from proton, I moved to mailbox.

At one point I was planning on moving my drive and VPN with them but their Linux support was really lacking, especially the CLI support so I’ve never done it and I’m glad I didn’t.

For the VPN I’m using Mullvad integrated with tailscale, for the drive in using my own synology NAS and tailscale to connect to it.

Ouch! They really are working hard on getting any privacy oriented person to leave them.

I’m glad I have moved away from them.

Cook some bacon pieces in a pan, add some chopped onions to it and then add the peas in it.

Serve that with rice.

Quick, easy, tasty healthy meal

It’s great for your daughter and you as well, she can help you to learn the language.

Cat mummies have been used as fertilizer too.

So is milk powder and sugar.

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 ?

“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.

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