Yes, they also decided to change the time to decimal time.

The day was divided into 10 hours, each hour was 100 minutes …

Does it matter of it’s true or not?

It’s been years that MAGA is showing us that truth does not matter,

BMI isn’t perfect but it’s still a good tool to compare two large, similar populations.

And no, being morbidly obese is not healthy.

Yes! Fat by itself isn’t unhealthy.

The best example is Italy, it has the lowest obesity rate of Europe, (1) but also has the highest consumption of cooking oil of Europe (2)

I was surprised in Italy when I saw how much olive oil they used while cooking. For me oil was just like a cooking aid so stuff does not stick to the pan, in Italian cuisine olive oil is not just an aid, it’s part of the ingredients

Congrats, you are now Flemish!

To give some context: in Belgium there is two main regions, Flanders and Wallonia. Flemish people speaks Flemish Dutch and Walloons speak French.

Since Flemish Dutch and French are the two official language of Belgium a lot of Fleming are learning French as a secondary language to be able to communicate with Walloons. Walloons on the other hand don’t care to learn Flemish Dutch at all.

So as consequence a lot of Flemish do know French but refuse to speak French with Walloons.

So as a French person I ended several time in a situation where I’m trying to communicate in English with a Fleming who refuse to use French with me, until he realize by my accent that I’m not Walloons, then he would start speaking to me in French.

It’s a shame because salt water pools are honestly so much better and I think overall it was cheaper for us as well.

Instead of adding chlorine every week the salt system just keeps the chlorine level at the right minimal level all the time. So no chlorine smell in the pool and the pool was much cleaner.

I was in a situation similar to this one in real life: having to adjust the salt level in a pool.

In metric:

The pool is 8*4 m long and 2m deep on average, the current salt level is 2g/l and the salt comes in 20kg bags.

How many bags of salts do I need to pour in the pool to adjust the salt level to at least 3g/l ?

Answer:

! The pool contains 8m4m2m= 64m³ or 64000l of water, I need an extra 1g/l of salt per litres so 64000l*1g/l = 64000g or 64 kg. So with 4 bags I’ll have enough salt.

In imperial:

The pool is 20*10ft long and 5ft deep on average, the current salt level is 2000ppm and the salt comes in 40lbs bags.

How many bags of salts do I need to pour in the pool to adjust the salt level to at least 3000ppm?

Answer:

! I’m just gonna drive to the store with my truck to pick up 2 bags at the time and see if it’s enough, no way I’m doing the calculation.

Moderation is the issue with pizza, at least for me.

I’ve been making pizza and pasta from scratch. It’s basically the exact same ingredients:

• flour
• tomatoes
• cheese

But when I’m making pizza I know that I can almost double the amount of flour because we are eating way more pizza than pasta.
