Side note: an hospital in Spain can be a relatively building with a few specialists, perhaps 20 people working here counting the staff. On many other countries an hospital is a huge building with doz…

Have you tried the iPhone SE 1st gen ? Lighter, better processor and screen but almost same design. It’s only 9.5yo and still works perfectly, you can find plenty second hand for 100€.

US cheese-in-tube is an abomination (I’m French ;-) ) and my Italian neighbor thinks the same about pinanle-fat-dough pizzas. As for every product type there’s good and bad. I love this one[0], it’s m…

Every fall on Brussels there's an ad for public bikes. It reads "Ride a bike, it warms you up" (Faites du vélo, ça réchauffe).

In Paris a study showed +3 years of life expectancy for cyclists and +2 for public transport users, compared to car commuters. They correlated it with (not a surprise) the benefits of exercice. Sure t…

Willing to share if/what’s your plans? Do you live in a somewhat helping country like Swiss? I’ve a similar view for myself but my GF find it creepy and don’t want discuss it, yet. That’s embarra…

For those not aware of the circonstances (as me), here’s Tesla defence: > this driver was solely at fault because he was speeding, with his foot on the accelerator—which overrode Autopilot—as he ru…

For what it worth: nutritional yeast is great to replace parmigiana-like cheese. For mozzarella it’s probable a bad choice if you want to be as close as possible, but yeast is definitely not an halluc…

Did you try Tempeh? 20gr of protein / 150cal. It looks like a steak. It's god's food: high prots, fibers, iron, vitamins, unsaturated fats. Low carbs and sodium. Super digestive. Super …

I wasn't clear by grouping a subjective and a (supposed) objective opinion. I mean: - I'd give 6/10 to the regular nugget's taste, and 6/10 to the beyond meat (sorry for typo …
