Le fabuleux voyage de l’oncle Ernest (the translation would be Uncle Ernest’s Fabulous Journey, but I don’t think it’s been released outside of France)

I don’t remember much of the game but I loved it as a kid, around 9-10.

The game is about the traveling journal of our adventurer uncle: Ernest. From what I remember it’s like a virtual treasure hunt, trying to find clues to find our uncle. It’s a lot of minigames going through Africa, Istanbul, Borneo …

Yes, the k702.

I love my AKG Q702. I think there are almost identical to the Q701 but with a detachable cable so it can be easily replaced.

I’ve been using them almost everyday since 2020 and barely show any wear.

The only thing that wore out a bit is the elastic on the side but I don’t really notice a difference.

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.

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.

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 !

4 more hours to wait !

Torture and money will give you a ton of information but not reliable information.

Because in the first case the person will say anything to make you stop and in the second case the person will say anything to make you continue.

I have a synology NAS with all my documents and family photos. I’m using the synology drive app on Linux and synology photo on android.

All of that is backed up on Backblaze

No, NASA has the budget. They already spent $50 billion on the development of SLS and Orion, Starship development cost is estimated to be around $10 billion.

So in theory with the money they spent on SLS they could have built 5 starship program.

The problem is that NASA has to follow political interests, sometimes the political interests align with technical interest and we get great things like the Apollo program.

Imagine you want to build a cabin in a very remote place in Alaska.

Getting there is quite difficult, you did it a few times in the 60’s but the path is so bad that you had to throw the truck away each time (around $45,000 per trip, for the truck + gas)

You are still planning to build your cabin but having to buy a new truck for each trip is not great, plus the fact that only one company can make this SLS truck so you can’t get more than once a year.

Building a cabin in these circumstances is close to impossible.

Now SpaceX makes a new Starship truck that can go all the way AND be reused. The trip from the hardware store to the build site now only costs you around $100 for the gas plus truck expenses AND you can now do the trip to the hardware store multiple times a day !

Now building the cabin becomes way more accessible.

Replace the Alaskan cabin with a scientific base on the moon or Mars and multiply the amounts by 100,000 and you have an approximation of the situation

In the meantime Arianespace divided by 3 their number of rocket launches

It reached the altitude of 96km, not space but not far either.

Similarly seasoning peppers are a staple of Caribbean cuisine. They look and taste almost identical to habaneros peppers minus the heat.
