I don’t get it, I’m a Trekkie and I love ALL Star Trek shows, just because they are in the Trek universe and have spaceships.

I like all avatar shows, even the live action movie prior to the Netflix show for the same reason. And to be honest Kora has a special place in my heart cause she made younger me feels something in its peepee.

I rewatched ATLA recently, time to rewatch LOK and just enjoy the day. I remember the ending, it made me say “wow”, I was amazed by her power. I definitely need to watch that again.

We need Lieutenant Aldo Raine back on duty (Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds)

*god damn it, it sucks to be right.*

I’m starting to feel the same way. When I was a teenager (more than 20 years ago) I wrote a short science fiction story. Being awesome with titles I simply named it “USA is the new nazi”.

Well, fuck.

It’s the TOSA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSA_(bus)

I really like the “thermal runaway thing” expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.

EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.

In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.

We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.

Just get rid of the fuel stations. It’s ridiculous that vehicles owners should expect to refuel their cars anywhere but at home or at work

🍑 🙀

Watermelon? Pastèque?

Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!

Thanks wired.

France agree

From life of experience, it’s just as you said: without lying.

You said it here, ‘I have an abusive family, I’m glad I managed to turn out ok but I don’t want them to involve you in their bullshit.’

And if you don’t want to talk about it just say it as well and leave the door open: ‘I don’t want to talk about it and ruin the day but if you want one day I’ll tell you.’

I’ve been married for almost 20 years without having met her parents, they didn’t “approve” our wedding and we just didn’t care about it. As long as you are two sane and respectful adults there’s no problems.

Ah no it’s not. But I’ll never lose my job over that.

And worst case scenario, I’ll get 80% of a huge salary for 2 years and plenty of free time to start my own business (blackjack and hookers not planned but everything is negotiable).

Fuck the employer, we riot and strike every few months, does it look like we care about employer regulations and company image? Without us the company will die and the head of state won’t allow it, so we do basically whatever we want.

Plus safety isn’t the issue here, not when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 was the only supported browser till late 2023. We are talking here about the non safety critical “admin network”, the network with only the administrative computer (emails, word processors etc).

The really safety critical network is air tight from the administrative world and Internet, it runs on Linux with tons of hardware redundancy.

Windows machines are just glorified type writers and internet browsing screens, they serve no operational business.

We have (or had?) a bad English cursus at school, I don’t know if that changed as I have not be at school in a while.

A somewhat strong culture with enough to read, listen and watch 100% French content in a lifetime, so that doesn’t help. And a few remains of rebellion that does not help as well.

I believe the French dubbing industry is also known for its quality with plenty of talented voice actors. But I heard this from others, I usually consume cinema or tv in the original language.

You are right that it clearly does not help. I am always annoyed when I see a French speaker crying over Steam forums that x video game does not have a French traduction, just play it in English duh.

Anyway, we have a perfect dumb science excuse that we love: We cannot speak good English because of our native language frequency. That’s it, we can’t do shit about it, c’est la vie 🤷🏻‍♂️

Achually! Historians said it has been invented in Paris in 1789 and not in Belgium.

Belgium did import those after learning to make them from rotisserie “Chez Pèlerin” in Montmartre, with the success we all know.

But it seems fries are indeed French. Not that we care about that fact, we prefer eating “des frites belges” as everyone else, they taste better than freedom fries.

I don’t know about Chrome but that would be worth a search. Our corporate browser was still IE for a while. Now it evolved to Edge.

They are deep in the MS ecosystem…

I speak perfect English and voluntarily keep my French accent cause it gets me laid.

Also because I’m too lazy to introduce myself or put the fucking emphasis at the correct place, but mostly because of the first reason.

Meanwhile in the US they call those Western style saloon doors, French doors… (spoiler alert, they are not French).
