This is largely cultural and language sensitive. I took the test as a french native speaker and got a green-blue boundary greener than the average population with the commentary "For you, turquoise is blue". Indeed it is. It is called bleu turquoise in french.

Both likely come from (middle) dutch bakboord (the side of your back) facing the stierboord (the side with the steering oar) . Stierboord became estribord then tribord. Its more explicit in modern german and dutch.

Yes the brine could just be diluted wih gray water to reduce the environnemental impact without the energy recovery of the osmotic plant and the capital can be invested in other renewable with better efficiency.

That being said it's a first so it's a pilot project needed to have feedback on a real plant in operation and not just back of the enveloppe calculations and suppositions. Sometime you need to just build the thing to encounter problems, issues or non-issues.

Half the children seem to have one in France. My neighbourhood is full of them. Draisiennes/laufräder/balancebikes are a real transportation means as children go every single day to the crèche on them. Some Kids that do this know how to ride and can learn to ride a real bike before 3. You then have to find one small enough

Openings/needs can be shared and relayed through networks before being listed publicly. You can also made yourself know as a potential hire before the need arises or before it is fully validated/budgeted and getter recontacted on Day 1.

Most hard pressed cheeses (think comté, beaufort, gruyère, gouda) are around 10L/kg, Parmigiano reggiano is more like 15L/kg, so I think the app underestimate it, unless by Parmesan you mean not the real deal

Obviously dryer cheeses are more dense and require more milk per kg as they age

The cheese choice is severly lacking :) The milk type choice is nice, as Cow's milk contains more water compared to goat or sheep's

Free is a marketing gimmick. It was never free but included in the domain package = domain registration + dns hosting + email boxes. The domain prices were generally higher than some concurrents. Now all of a sudden the domains see a price hike of 20-40% and each basic mail box that was included costs 57€ VAT included. So if you use the mail box this is essentially x3 or worse on the price. God forbid you used two mailboxes.

the cost is at the end of the new price list after the domains.

Prix mensuel de la nouvelle offre mailbox / new mailbox offer montly prices

         HT/VAT excl    
standard 3,99 € / $3.99

premium 5,99 € / $5.99

respectively 4,79€ and 7,19€ TTC/VAT incl.

It's insane. So with 2 mails boxes, that were not free but included in the price/package of the domain. I will have to pay 2121.2*3.99=115€/year for a basic e-mail service that was included until now. It feels like a breach of contract.
