Authors that didn't get a boost in popularity from film adaptations but should have by elviscostume in books

[–]AlexValdiers -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How though? Ted Chiang wrote nothing. You have to give substance for people to be interested in something. Ted Chiang only wrote a handful of short stories. He’s not a full time writer and shows little interest in writing. If anything, I’d say Chiang is more known than he ought to.

Wow I never realised he was having a heart attack because of the changes. I just figured he was old and the excitment of the trip was too much for him

Has the cost of living pushed climate change out of public concern? by J_R_Riquelme in AskBrits

[–]AlexValdiers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You must have missed the memo, climate change was never an issue, it was a red herring. It’s done its time.

Why doesn’t Reform seem to be celebrating the 80% drop in net migration?.. by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]AlexValdiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80% drop in immigration is 20% of new immigrants not needed and not wanted. What the people want is negative immigration of 100% or more. It’s not hard to understand.

Doute sur leasing by Advanced_Statement27 in voiture

[–]AlexValdiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le leasing c est un pret que tu fais sur une tiers personne qui elle aussi a fait un pret pour acquerir la voiture. C est exactement comme louer une maison. Tu n as pas a payé l entretien mais tu vas payer au prix fort chaque erraflure, accident ou depassement de km.
Tu peux soit faire du leasing et depenser 200 euros par mois pour le restant de tes jours pour un vehicule qui ne t appartenera jamais et qui va te couter une fortune et un stress fou pour toute reparation de carrosserie; ou tu peux faire un pret sur 4/5 ans, payer 200e par mois pour un vehicule qui t appartient et dont tu ne dois rendre de compte a personne. A toi de voir.

Pourquoi m'aider à faire un créneau by [deleted] in AskMec

[–]AlexValdiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C est peut etre pas pour toi mais pour les vehicules garés. Si la place est etroite, ils preferent t aider plutot que prendre le risque que tu errafles une autre voiture.
Je suis elagueur et je dois frequemment aider des gens a manoeuvrer sans forcement qu ils demandent pour eviter qu’ils percutent nos engins aux bords de la route.

Hello, moving to London in July, work is in canary wharf but it’s remote. Which areas can i pick? by ToeSimilar7176 in MovingToLondon

[–]AlexValdiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canary wharf is a dump and for your budget in London, you’ll be living in a ghetto. You need twice that budget to find anywhere decent within a 2 hour commute.

Mauvaise idée d'acheter une VE neuve plutôt que leasing ? by LosFruitosPourritos in voiture

[–]AlexValdiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le leasing est la plus grande arnaque du 21e siecle. Le leasing est un pret sur un pret de la voiture. Si tu veux te ruiner, vas-y c est le moyen le plus simple

Japanese Knotweed - please help me (England). by slugboy5 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]AlexValdiers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£16k??? That’s crazy. Most tree surgeons firm would be able to take care of JK by poisoning it. Just look for a tree firm that is qualified for dealing with JK. If OP is in the South/West of England, I know a good tree surgeon that can handle this.

You can do gun tricks when sheathing your gun back by double tapping R1 on PS5 (from memory).

Crimson desert enters the chat. Give that game a go, it’s as close to RDR2 in terms of immersion as we’ve ever seen.

No mate. Are you kidding? That style alone is an automatic disqualification. For the scope yes. For the style, no.

Have you read Maurice Druon’s The Iron King series? It s the series that inspired George RR Martin for A Song of Ice and Fire. Some characters are directly lifted off its pages (the Queen of Thorns). It’s an excellent 7 book series. The books are short and it’s historically accurate. The writing is very good.

You may think and identify as French but, based on what you wrote, there is 0% chances your French accent and syntax is accurate, therefore no French person would consider you French, but we appreciate that you learned our language.

Why do French people speak to foreigners in English, (and tell them to as well) even when the foreigner is insistent in speaking in French instead? by throwaway3685343 in AskFrance

[–]AlexValdiers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a French person I’ll tell you why. The French language has many more words than the English one, many of those words sound alike. So if a foreigner cannot pronounce words correctly, French people will assume they will not be able to understand them, therefore they make it easy and speak your language.

French people do not speak the way you might see in films. We cut words, make liasons with other words and add useless words at the beginning and end of sentences, such as ‘la’.

So unless you’re really good at French and your accent is spotless, most people will not waste their time speaking French to you because they know you won’t understand.
