The functionnalities are not lost, and using keyboard shortcut is more efficient/functionnal anyway, especially on basic functions like those on the menu of the first screenshot.
I can understand that some users prefer icons, but describing the second screenshot as "horror" and "less functionnal" because it does not have pictures in the menu bar is simply wrong.
> A couple 15-minute light walks to and from the bus stop and the apartment/office can bring one's energy expenditure up to 3000 calories in a day
Those numbers seems off. A 10km running session (~1 hour) burns approximately 800kcal. You would need quite a lot of "15-minute light walks" to go from 2000kcal/day to 3000. Way more than 4 times a day.
I do agree that the 2000 calories/day, or 2500 if you exercise moderately, is not the whole story. However, I think it is a very decent estimation for most people, as long as you're not a professional athlete or deviate from the norm one way or another.
The source you provide gives a number of 0-50 a year, not 100-250.
There is not the Zappata quote, but it still seems relevant :
"Finally, for the Homeric hero, aretê consisted of a set of qualities clustered around the readiness to fight a beautiful war and die a beautiful death."
"preferring to die in their own land rather than live to dwell in that of others"
Because alcohol and gambling tend to be more addictive than cat food and toothbrushes.
It is not a good idea to force an ad for beer on an ex-alcoholic/someone trying to stop alcohol, for example.
While I do agree that what the mind can do is amazing, I don't think fighting reflexes like shaking is a good idea. Shaking is a way for your body to warm up, because it is starting to be too cold to function "normally". While it is definitely not a severe symptom of hypothermia, it should not be ignored.
Blablacar will not be affected by the law, because it is carpooling. You're not paying for a service, you're sharing the cost of the ride.
The presentation does not specify by car. It does take pretty much 4h by train.
