Rec stands for Reconquête. Don’t be fooled, they’re way worse than RN.
Dati is corrupt but lucky for her the trial for when she got caught is after the election: https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2025/09/29/le-proces-de-rachida-dati-pour-corruption-et-trafic-d-influence-prevu-du-16-au-28-septembre-2026-apres-les-elections-municipales_6643459_3224.html
Eurovision did the same.
Yes for most uses EVs are more cost efficient and only suck for long trips, which most people don’t do often if at all. Makes you wish for actually good train services, and maybe a comeback of train services where you can ship your car before the meat bags.
Good to hear from someone who actually does this. Considering how big and empty Canada is I don’t see how there’s ever going to be fast chargers unless freight uses them, rail freight is way better for road safety and efficiency though (even with diesel locomotives, it uses 10-20% of the fuel road vehicles do).
You still need tons of heat for the cabin. At those temperatures the waste heat from the engine is actually not wasted since the meatbags inside need to be warm.
It would hurt range a lot but for commuting that’s probably still fine, and no worries about heating up the car more than having the windows defrosted before you drive it.
French people are in denial about the dangers of the State going rogue. The laws are already there, there are almost no limits to police powers. The executive branch has unlimited power in practice because of the Constitution being written by a bunch of old men afraid they may some day be deposed.
The justice system is officially bankrupt as well: minor crimes like scamming grannies or stealing bikes aren’t even prosecuted (complaints are dismissed before any investigation).
