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.

25000km is 250 100km days per year. That's a lot.

In France for example the average yearly distance travelled by car is closer to 12000km not 25000. More achievable but still a lot.

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

It can be cultural. Turquoise is often called bleu turquoise in french. So it's more of a blue to me.

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.

New comment by azepoi in "Show HN: Tool to calculate how much milk is needed to make an amount of cheese"

azepoi — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 10:02:46 +0000

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
