    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    Tonight the semi-final between England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and Argentina 🇦🇷 in the World Cup of course. Thousands of Argentines will attend the game but one group will have to follow the game at home: parents who owe their ex-partner alimony. It’s a kind of interesting concept. The Argentine government...

    Northern France, advice

    Ya, in my last job before I decided to retire (very) early, I did often 5 countries in one week. Leave on Sunday evening, back on Friday night. And everyone thought that must have been so cool. Yep, hotel rooms, meetings and business lunches, didn’t see a lot of those countries and cities.

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    Yeah, so far 13 of these coaches were fired or quit during this FIFA World Cup. Many of them are not very popular. Now the contracts are often shorter than for teams and often depend on big tournaments.

    No Electricity Enough for Data Centers in US

    True, but companies like Porsche don’t give up on the idea. Then of course they would meet the EU standards of zero emission at the end ( + and - ). And their clientele can probably afford the €5 per liter biofuel.

    Northern France, advice

    I hope you had a good time even with the heat. But personally I think there’s too much cramped in there. (Bit like those American or Chinese tourists who do Europe in 10 days.) Especially when not so young anymore you don’t want to run and hurry from one place to the other. We always like to do...

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    They didn’t, even if theoretically they would. Don’t forget there were 12 groups and also the number two and three often did not meet one of the fab four in the next round. So they can make that chance very small. Course statistics anyone?

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    What a coincidence right, that the 4 countries who are high in the FIFA world ranking play the semi-finals? Well not really. Because France, Argentina, Spain and England had a protected status in the draw. The numbers 1 to 4 of the world ranking, as FIFA had determined just before the draw in...

    Fossil Fuel subsidies, current state of affairs and impact

    Indonesia is rolling out biodiesel B50 as we speak. As the name implies, this is 50% palm oil and 50% conventional (fossil) diesel. The next steps would be to go via B60 towards a B100 in the coming years. It’s all rather controversial. Not only since biodiesel has a negative impact on the...

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    The Tour de France is already on day 6. They head into the Pyrenees and on the menu is a tough mountain stage featuring the Col d'Aspin and the Col du Tourmalet. The question is not if but when Tadej Pogacar will crush the competition.
