Someone is selling a flour mill in Normandy that sits on its own private island, with two waterfalls. It was first recorded in 1398. The mill was owned through the Middle Ages by the Le Veneur family, and rebuilt in the 19th century into the red-brick flour mill you see in the first image. It has been lived in ever since, which is probably the most remarkable thing about it. 4 bedrooms, 242m² (2,607 sq ft) of living space across multiple levels, with a 72m² living area on the top floor. It also includes an indoor swimming pool which tbh I did not expect. The original millstone is still sitting on the island by the way. So is a beehive. To get to the front door you cross a small stone bridge over one of the waterfalls. A short walk the other way takes you to a second narrow island of 220m², which leads directly into the forest. Asking price: €349k ($409k). The waterfalls are included. Presumably some form of hydroelectric power is possible, but I'll leave that to people smarter than me.

Bloomberg reports: As a result of Iranian attacks on the aluminum plant of the Emirates Global Aluminum Company in the Al-Tawila, the plant lost its power, the electrolysis lines stopped uncontrollably and the aluminum solidified right inside the smelting circuits. The aluminum plant of the Bahrain Aluminum Company in Manama was also targeted by the attacks. The aluminum plants in the Emirates and Manama were among the largest in the world, each producing 1.6 million tons of aluminum annually.

Le design c'est un grand oui, à la fois innovant et élégant. L'absence de fiche technique est frustrante et je ne crois pas aux 900km d'autonomie car je doute que la batterie 108 kWh du iX3 rentre dans son plancher. Mais avec cette plate-forme les prestations seront très élevées

[ 🇪🇺 UNION EUROPÉENNE | 🇷🇺 RUSSIE ] 🔸 L’Union européenne aurait atteint un « moment de panique » sur la question énergétique, certains États membres ne disposant pas de réserves suffisantes, selon un analyste cité par Politico. L’UE pourrait ainsi être contrainte d’augmenter ses importations d’énergie en provenance de la Russie.
