Or I did just web search for 2024 and there are indeed ‘European Parliament election in France’ as a result.
But you probably understood very well what was saying and why I was writing it. Do you have an explanation for his behaviour?

Are there elections coming in France?
We are hearing big words from Macron over and over in the last few weeks to support Ukraine - yet France is far behind when in comes to supporting Ukraine financially or with military equipment. And please don’t bring that Reddit meme ‘France is doing everything secretly and nobody knows about it’. Democratic financing in billions of Euros is public and not a high toilet paper bill like in Hollywood movies from the 80s. There is of course a lot of proportionate support by France within the EU-assistance, as France is a big economy and paying into the EU budget. It’s a similar situation with Italy, as they are another big economy within the EU. Both EU ‘power houses’ are far behind when it comes to direct support for Ukraine.
Macron has been telling us just last week, that the local EU arms industry needs more orders to enable low and competitive prices. He also told us support for Ukraine should only receive subsidies for EU-made products. And last week we saw statistics that the arm industry/exports from the USA and France profited the most from the Russian invasion in Ukraine, as everyone is getting their military up to date and ordering a lot. So everything plays in his hands and France is reaping in big profits and getting support for its huge arms industry. Yet, the country is far behind in supporting Ukraine and Macron keeps calling other countries to support Ukraine more - or here that ‘Europe will lose all credibility’.
What is going on here? Elections?
Wikipedia also has a list with more countries and animals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_animals
E.g. Denmark even has 3 national animals listed and not just the swan in the picture: Red squirrel (national mammal), Mute swan (national bird) and Small tortoiseshell (national butterfly).
As you didn’t read the article:
“This move seems driven by the government’s interest in collecting and centralizing biometric data for identification, tracking, and surveillance purposes,” he said. Omar agreed: “Probably to keep track of the refugees.”
They hand out SIM cards to track those SIM cards. Using a certain messaging app on the phone or not doesn’t change SIM card tracking within the network.
“Her application was refused in June on the grounds she did not provide sufficient evidence, but she had asked for an administrative review of the decision and had a certificate of application (CoA) from the Home Office. It states “you can work in the UK until you receive a decision on your application to the EU settlement scheme”.”
“The Border Force refused entry on the grounds that her “application for EUSS [EU settlement scheme] has been refused” […]”
Could be just overlapping on the timing, that she got the decision in her post box in the UK, while she was abroad in Spain. Would be the simplest explanation for the situation.
As per comment on the hacker news discussion, Dropbox AI was apparently introduced and mentioned in the changelog on October 10, 2023 only for users from the USA.
“Dropbox AI is currently in alpha and available in the US in EN only for Dropbox Pro, Standard, Advanced, Essentials, Business, and Business Plus. Some features may be available soon for eligible non-US customers to test.”
I just checked my settings before reading that comment and there is no such setting on my free account (‘Basic’) from the EU.
Especially living in a city, this looks interesting to me. ‘Fast’ charging I’ve seen was in the range 30-60 min but then it’s like the phone, from about 20% up to 80%. So living in a city, I’d have to wait for half an hour for half the battery.
With a swap-station, it could be nearly as fast as a fossil fuel stop. About 2 minutes for a 0% to 100% stop.
This also allows for smaller batteries, for smaller cars, for lighter cars. You don’t need to carry a lot of overall range if you can swap/refill to 100% in 2 minutes.
I’m a layman when it comes to solar installations, but I read a bit into the topic, as I want an installation on my balcony next year.
I read that partial shadows on the panels are the worst due to the connection in series of the individual plates. There are rows or even loops connected on a panel and with a part of that connected series covered in shadow, it results in a fraction of the power output. A tiny shadow results in a huge loss.
If that is your garden, you should fix that to avoid shadows onto each other.
I think there are also different mentalities. Just last winter, I had a similar discussion, where someone explained to me that the room heating is meant to fully offset the temperature, so he can walk summer and winter in shorts, t-shirt and barefoot. So it’s 23°C in winter.
While I’m used to wearing jogging pants and socks indoor during winter, so 18°C is fine for me.
Then again, you also have to adjust for personal preferences, different sex, different heating infrastructure etc. But 23°C to go shorts and barefoot in winter was an extreme reveal to me, that people do something like this as well.
media literacy will be woven into existing classes and lessons
It’s surprising to me, that the USA/California only now decides to include that into school lessons. I thought that’s a common thing around the world.
Already 20 years ago in school, I remember we had media literacy by analysing and comparing newspapers. We got a selection of papers that the teacher bought and we had to check for design, formatting, letter size, pictures, categories, order, article size and content, factual reporting etc. Just full on analysis for teens to understand different styles in writing, reporting, publishing. Even comparing the same articles, written by different newspapers and how things can be expressed differently giving different impressions but originating from the same event.
Is that not common during school in Europe / around the world for decades?
That step they don’t have to go makes me think with Windows 12, the whole process will likely start from 0. They will try to implement everything again, waiting for courts or politics to take some decisions after years.
The investigation revealed that when the chair was adjusted by the passenger it crushed and badly damaged the phone’s battery which caused smoke, flames and fumes.
So the proper title would be: “Passenger crushed mobile phone battery using aircraft seat, caused a fire on passenger plane”
In a way kinda. It’s problematic though that China is using Uyghur forced labour to produce cheap solar panels.
This of course allows them to undercut any other manufacturer, driving them out of the market. So the delivery chain is getting kinda small and the products have forced labour attached to them.

Why Vladimir Putin Is Embracing every country’s Far Right
Because they are siding with him.
And in 2024 there is the upcoming presidential election in the USA, where Russia certainly will try to influence the elections (again) and side with the far right, too.

It’s just a quick web search, but there are the EU countries listed with their avg. renewable electricity 2021.
As mentioned, the momentary data isn’t worth much. There are bad days with only 20% renewable electricity and there are good days with 120% renewable-only generation compared to the load. For years, European electricity prices turn negative on those days, as renewables alone in Germany generate 10TW more than the load.
That’s why annual average is important and not to single out good or bad days pretending this is the norm.
As per the 1st sentence of the article, it’s less about being there but about asking questions:
Shell will no longer give press conferences when presenting its annual and quarterly results.
Journalists will be allowed to call in and listen but not ask questions
So even when supporting Shell and buying shares to attend, there won’t be a press conference with questions and answers.
There was an article yesterday explaining that the frozen account belongs to an organisation that funds other organisations. One of those is accused of supporting/funding terrorism. So at the end, the bank has no choice and nothing to decide on their own, once they get knowledge of this accused connection. Otherwise they would to get dragged into the case as well and prosecution against them could be opened. Which is why they froze the bank account for now and sent a questionnaire about the organisation and their members to evaluate the situation. That is all, nothing was seized, the title is a lie.
