It’s not that surprising once you know that their goal is to be completely independent for their US for their military equipment.

It includes the nuclear bomb, missiles, fighter jet, aircraft carrier, submarines, even space capabilities (even if this last part has been lacking a bit lately).

They don’t have the US military budget but they want the same level of technology without any ties to the US.

It means that they are exporting a lot to compensate for the high investments they are pouring into military technology.

Here is the share of global arms export per country.

Germany, Italy and the UK are also big exporters but still behind France.

France’s military industry is having wet dreams thinking about it.

If the US pulls out of NATO France becomes the biggest arms exporter of NATO and I would expect other countries will become less enthusiastic at the idea of buying US weapons systems.

Une bonne nouvelle !

On l’a vu avec la guerre en Ukraine, les câbles sous marin sont une cible stratégique.

The wings are crazy ! They look way too flimsy for what they do.

Next time you see an airplane, imagine a crane picking it up by the wings, around the middle of the wing length, and then start shaking it up.

It does not look like the wing will be able to hold that much weight.

It exists

It does not transport people but it is great for places with a lot of traffic to have a first responder on site quickly before an actual ambulance arrives.

This project is full of bugs!

I agree, the whole game is an art piece.

The DLC was released 2 weeks ago. Even if people were working on it full time (35hours a week) that still just 70hours in the game.

Take that back !

I’ve seen DIY targets like that but with cardboard instead of the foam.

The bug was occurring when playing the same save for 19884 hours !

First steep, gather all the ocean’s trash.

Good luck with that !

A good way can be to keep the same amount of mandated parking minimum but allows that up to x% (30%, 50%, 90% ?) of this parking can be replaced with secured bike parking (with precise specification on what is a secured bike parking, the same way as there is specifications for a car parking spot width, length …).

This way this gives a choice, either the shop owner decide to ~save a fuckton of money on land and construction cost~ be environmentaly friendly and build bike parking instead of car parking spot, or he can still spend money on a huge parking lot if he is really against bike.

~ be sensitive to the environment and build bike parking

Get a good quality bike with standard components and you should be able to repair it easily.

As other said avoid cheap low cost bike but also very high end bike that are more likely to use proprietary parts.

For the frame the best option would be steel, if it does break you can easily weld it back with a regular welder.

Aluminum is the second best option, a bit lighter but it will fatigue, so over the years the frame will wear out slightly.

Carbon is the worst for reparability, very fragile and impossible to repair.

What we do know is that Intelsat 33e has a history of issues while in orbit. Designed and manufactured by Boeing, the satellite was launched in August 2016.

I think we all know what the issue with the satellite was.
