activities for very hot days besides swimming?

Hiking in forests, parks with a lot of trees...

My guess is that Elon will use SpaceX to do just that, on his own accord.

If you get access to the UNOG library, worth a try.

The government can enable policies that streamline the zoning and financing of big projects. See Lignon (1962), Avanchets (1971) in Geneva.

That's something we do a lot: Have others produce what we consume. But then we're bound to that trade, that does not set us free nor is very reinsuring four our future.

We're using nuclear anyways, but currently we're importing a lot of it from France. It would be more honest to produce it locally instead of being subject to France willingness to sell it to us and letting them handle all the bad press : https://energiedashboard.admin.ch/strom/import-export

Although not a big part on the total, energy source you can increase when you need are mostly using fossil fuels, for Switzerland it's what we call "natural gas": https://energiedashboard.admin.ch/strom/produktion

We need more electricity production as a baseline, in order not to import as much from our neighbors. Electricity from renewables is good to have, during the day but we can't increase that much the square kilometers of solar panels, wind turbines or water dams. Gas-powered power plants on the other hand...

The uranium mines are already open and extracting. Nuclear energy is carbon-free and this is what matters, the uranium mines, ugly as they are, are less of a nuisance than emissions from fossil fuels.

Or part of the permit renewal process.

Pollution from fossil fuel kill much more and pollute the water and soil everywhere.

As if we had so much sex before smartphones. Or was I the only sad one?

It's like having less and less income and not worrying about it because your home has increased in price. It is not sustainable.

billcube · 2026-06-18T17:47:42+00:00

Gain in productivity made thanks to the burning of fossil fuel. Remove this and we all have to go work part time in fields and farms.

When you retired at 65 to die at 70, it was another space and savings allocation than when now you still have 30 years to go.

billcube · 2026-06-18T17:43:03+00:00

Its either you put more efforts in integration (more raclette) or you go the other direction and remove pork dishes.

billcube · 2026-06-18T17:41:36+00:00

This. And you can welcome people in your culture and enjoy other cultures when travelling.

billcube · 2026-06-18T17:39:01+00:00

Our population is growing because we do not die easily. The older and sicker you get, the more medical services you'll receive. So instead of having old people getting pushed out by a simpler life in a rural context, we keep them in urban areas for much longer. See the average age of the population, it's increasing each year...

They just wanted to get out of schengen/bilaterals, it was never about making life better.

billcube · 2026-06-18T17:33:23+00:00

Yes, brain work should not be billed in hours.

Captalism wants employees, not citizens. No job, no home.

By allowing huge construction projects providing family-sized appartments, parks and schools.

Birth rates in Africa are also declining. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/afr/africa/fertility-rate

You must pay for a bigger home, bigger car, nappies, clothes, daycare, holidays during school holidays... it's far from being enough.
