A bit off topic, but changing your name when getting married is so strange to me. It is not at all common where I live (Belgium), in fact I don't think I personally know a single person who did.

While optional, it's very common in France.

Usually you use fuming nitric acid with or without sulfuric acid depending if you have copper bondings.

The worst thing is I can't read the policy without accepting it.

> So on a plant-based diet you can't save yourself?

I'd generally go for keto since that is more studied compared to strict carnivore.

> Plant-based meals require far fewer resources and is cheaper, which means maintaining societal stability when resources are becoming low - as there is more to go around.

But your health will (probably/maybe) be worse. There are ways to make cheap keto (ex: eating 10 eggs/day in my local area).

> A lot of farm land is being used to grow foods for livestock. We could use that land to grow food for ourselves.

Then eat grass-fed meat. I do so myself.

I'm not sure there is enough grassland in the world for everyone to eat grass-fed meat.

No, lux is based on lumen and itself founded on the human perception of light using the luminous efficiency function.

I suppose they need things ICE cars don't usually have, to control multiple motors, a torque controller, regenerative braking, battery management, charge controllers, electric heating, and so on. But then ICE has to manage things they don't, like O2 sensors, ignition timing, etc.

Those functions don't require the most "high-end semiconductors".

First thing that struck me is how many Chinese made weapons are being used by Ukraine and some by Russia. Looking them up seems some were first designed in Russia by now made in China?

According to the name of the icon, it's the flag of the Soviet Union, not China.

Edit: I would guess it's labelled Soviet when it's unclear which side the equipment come from.

France has all sorts of problems and their grid would break regularly if they couldn't import energy during the Summer when their cooling water sources get too hot and they have to shut down all their reactors.

More specifically, the water become too hot to be released in a river without impacting the bio-environment, not all plants have this issue.

Those skills are unrelated.
