    The city of Zürich has a live camera of falcons nesting on a high chimney, the young ones just hatched. #falcons #webcam #birdwatching #zurich https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/de/umwelt-und-energie/natur/tiere-in-der-stadt/falkenkamera.html

    It&amp;#39;s interesting to see a US perspective on the Almería greenhouse city. I certainly did not expect someone from the US saying European farming is something worth emulating. I did not realise they use insects instead of pesticides, don&amp;#39;t know if that&amp;#39;s a systematic thing. #farming #Almería #greenhouse #pesticides https://youtu.be/nKudMpBGC-E?si=NKThRwnSgQmuZNvo

    Sur Facebook, article de journal «le Temps» sur les accidents cyclistes à Genève, je regarde les commentaires (grave erreur), la boue habituelle, «les cyclistes ne font pas attention» et «les cyclistes ont un agenda irréaliste». Clairement le prix de l&amp;#39;essence n&amp;#39;est pas encore assez élevé… #cyclisme #genève #letemps

    “ The combined effect of foreign competition and the loss of their protective exchange rate would have decimated the Swiss watch industry even if it hadn&amp;#39;t been for quartz movements. But quartz movements were the final blow. ” #switzerland #watchmaking https://paulgraham.com/brandage.html

    For me the most interesting part of the article is the fact that the Atlantic openly and clearly compares the US to other nations… #uspol https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/02/elite-accountability-powerful-impunity/686134/
