    What actually happened is Joliot turned into a supervilain, he killed Pierre Curie before he could become a superhero, but was ultimately defeated by Henri Bequerel, who is immortal.

    I thought this was common knowledge.

    In the meantime Irene Joliot died of the radiations, as everybody would expect.




  • Tokyo banned diesel motors in the late 90s. As far as I know that didn’t kill Toyota.

    At the same time European car makers started to lobby for particle filters that were supposed to solve everything. The politics who where naive enough to believe them do share responsibility, but not as much as the european auto industry that created this whole situation.

    Also, you implies that laws are made by politicians without any intervention of the industries whatsoever. I think you know that it is not how it works.



  • I work in construction and currently work on the restructuration of an active airport, with various worksite around the airport. I have a very cool badge that clearly states that I can access almost every place. Regularly, when I’m in a part of the airport that is in activity, I have people asking me directions, and I’m like : “No, I don’t know where gate 15 is, but I can tell you everything about the beam above your head if it helps…”



  • I started my company before my daughter was born, but because of covid and Ukraine (I’m in Europe) it went bad and it’s only been OK for a year and a half now.

    When our daughter was born, my wife forced me to cut 1h of work per day. She told me I could work more after our daughter was in bed if needed, to check the mails for instance. She does that a lot herself as a teacher, but I almost never find strength to work the evening because I’m too tired. So I cut one hour and… Nothing got worse.

    I thought It was going to be bad but it wasn’t.

    The thing is : the first year was awfull because I didn’t make enough money, so I used what I had saved. Because of that I became a lot tougher when I have to negotiate a contract, because I do feel that people asking for a low price are disrespecting me and putting my family in danger, which they are.

    I still don’t make as much as I would If I worked for somebody, but I make enough, I work less, and there are many other perks.

    TLDR : my wife was right. Yours might also be.

    Also : I’m not my own man, I had associates all along. I don’t know if I could have done it alone.

    Good luck to find your way
