the photo was taken at the shop Chaise Longue, a chain which specialises in humorous and original collections of household items and gifts. The product, called “Baguette knife” can be seen on the Chaise Longue website.

A price label is clearly visible next to the baguette in one of the pictures shared on social media saying “Une graine dans le bocal piment” (“A seed in the jar – chilli”), which is the name of a Chaise Longue product. It is a jar of chilli seeds, which is part of a range of different types of seeds in jars.

This meme implies this is only an issue of personal responsibility ; but in truth to actually lower car deaths we need a systemic approach.

Think of cigarette companies laying blame at "addictive personalities". They knew making people personally responsible would not threaten their business, whereas public policies against tobacco did.

This post is doing the same thing : when an accident happens we should not just ask "who is to blame?" but also "how do we prevent it in the future?", which in this case means redesigning streets to be friendlier to pedestrians and developing other modes of transportation.

Didn't Gore win the 2000 election ? The Bush clan stole it and apparently the US just didn't care much.

I assume you mean keeping the outer diameter the same and making one ball lighter than the other. That's clever, it would eliminate aerodynamism as a factor.

However wouldn't results still vary, since hollowing out the metal ball increases its buoyancy ? (Archimedes' principle).

“This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations”

Won't anyone rid us off this troublesome democracy, so that tech companies may grow in peace ?

Where I lived in the Netherlands there often were electric bikes and scooters and sports bikes going 30+kph on the bike lanes.

This is [...] a strange marketing strategy by AI companies. Instead of selling products based on helpful features and letting users decide, executives often deploy scare tactics that essentially warn people they will become obsolete if they don't get on the AI bandwagon.

Very insightful for me to read this. If AI in its present state was as useful as it is advertised, it wouldn't need such apocalyptic language.

I have no proof but I suspect it is a mistranslation. The French legal term "bande organisée" literally means "organized crime group" but is simply the French counterpart to criminal conspiracy. That is to say, they are suspected not merely of breaking the law but also of having done so as a collective that knowingly planned for it.

I don’t have any statistic, but I would guess that the proportion of people wanting a Jack is significantly higher in the group of people interested in buying Fairphone that on the general population.

Fairphone literally does have that statistic. They spent effort to gather that info in order to inform their business decisions. And they report:

We also looked into the consumer data and Fairphone 4’s weight and thickness were more of an issue than the lack of a minijack

Do you remember the time Marco Rubio repeated the same thing twice during a presidential debate ? His speech included calling the US "the greatest nation in the history of the world" but no one minded that.

In most countries you would be ridiculed for saying something like that, but from what I understand Americans are taught that their country is the best in basically everything and they are very lucky to be born there because every other place is worse off.

The American military doesn't train to put on parade theatre for a despot. No high stepping, no elaborate formations or movements. None of that pointless bullshi

I'm unsure I get your point, how does waste prevent a shortage from becoming a famine ?

Also, both raw cauliflower and tinned tomatoes can be eaten almost as is.
