4·22 days agoLes cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n’ont pas besoin d’infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.
Mais parce qu’ils n’ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler “pas dignés”.
Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. Il y a pas l’espace dans les trains, c’est la realite economique.
41·29 days agoGood point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.
Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:
- no technical expertise
- is not in charge
- does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis
Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.
I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.
Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄
We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.
4·1 month agoIt’s a cool story, but the article is a bit messy.
Took me a while to understand what happened around 1990 and what happened recently.
I was also surprised to learn that El País employs time travellers:
In addition, the protected area contains the old Stramba amber mine, known as one of the most productive during the first half of the 21st century, but which was closed down by the communist regime as it was considered unprofitable.
Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.
Do I honestly have to tell you that many nasty things can indeed pop up from beneath the waves? That nuclear-powered submarines can travel vast distances without surfacing?
Ireland is nr. 3 in the EU in raw GDP per capita, bested only by Switzerland and Luxembourg. Yes there’s a lot of letterbox firms, it’s a tax haven, but even if you’d have to halve their number to correct for that, they’re still just as rich as the UK and France.
How has the invasion of Ukraine not woken you up yet? Do you live on a different continent?
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, hey hey hey HEEY
11·2 months agoThat’s a good one! “I totally respect people trying to improve the world and decrease pandemic risk by taking vaccines. I just hate the kind of vaccinated people who ask others to get vaccinated. Makes me want to spread diseases even more!”
Yes I thought the same. Except for coconut.
Coconut “oil” is a fat if you’re using the regular definition of room temperature. It’s solid at room temperature and has high saturated fat content (>90%), even worse than dairy (~60-70%). I know there are some other aspects to it that makes people enthusiastic but I don’t think there is any solid evidence that those aspects compensate the huge amount of saturated fat.
You should get about 2x more unsaturated than saturated fats. So dairy, pork and coconut fat should not be a large part of the fat in your diet.
Indeed, olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil and basically every oil except coconut has more unsaturated than saturated fat and will help you balance your fat types.

I’m sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your comment by a lot.
I read about Slavoy Zizek’s philosophy and ideas and in that context, “I would prefer not to” is the ultimate rejection of capitalism and some sort of super-resistance, if I understood correctly.
I thought you meant to dismiss the whole group of ideas without reading them based on how convinced you are of Zizek’s ideas, and were blaming me for “supporting the system”. That’s why I reacted so aggressively, I’m sorry, that was bullshit.
P.S. I do tend to get stuck in these rabbit holes of philosophy.
I’m not sure if I should feel sad for you, or envious. To be so certain of your own point of view and take pride in not taking other ideas seriously. It must give some sense of calm but at the same time, you miss out on so much. I won’t ask or recommend you anything though, I read the thing. Enjoy your wall staring. Let’s hope it will make the world a better place.
Highly recommend. It’s easy to dismiss as weird bullshit initially but enlightening when you put in the effort to understand.
To be clear, I am no longer strongly convinced of or against person affecting views and take both seriously.
This is a good starting point:
I think you make a great point. Have you read about the problems with “person-affecting views”? It’s admittedly a bit harder to grasp, but doesn’t seem less problematic to me.
We’ve done it before…
Though the Angles and Saxons get all the credit, there’s a lot of Frisian heritage there too.
In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:
And the hilarious tech demo of course!
I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).
Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).
In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:
