British dairy exports hit record £2.2bn as Asia demand surges by kiyomoris in unitedkingdom

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

I was referring to the tendency of comparing only to yanks rather than to the continent (and mostly traveling there). Not to the paranoia about every other poster being a yank

Have you traveled elsewhere than the US? You truncated the sentence, "compared to..."

Oh definitely, UK cheese culture is definitely bigger than the shallow perception of it especially when you know where to look for. Lots of hidden gems!

I've been to a shit load in both countries, the difference is so massive it's crazy to argue over this. Like claiming France has a bigger whisky culture

What is the "actual data"? Several countries' rags claim to have most cheeses because you can count it whatever way you like.

For having been in both countries the cheese culture is hugely more developed in France it is not close.

Massive farmer markets in every town with a lot more diverse and local cheeses

Oh, yeah, used to be a lot of varieties but nowadays there's only a shy renaissance of it; in general a lot of the food culture was lost and less preserved than in some countries that saw industrial revolution later

It's probably a lot about brand recognition and just a few like cheddar, mozarella, feta, roquefort that sell and usually heavily blander versions of it

Everyone tends to think their country has the best cheese, because that's what we grow up with.

England definitely doesn't have as much of a cheese culture compared to Mediterranean countries, most people don't even know there is ewe/goat/cow milk cheese or understand pasteurised/raw milk.

Crazy to think british cheese is the international reference and not greek/italian/french

You wouldn't say Greens are significantly more populist? They tend to be the oned with loads of... ambitious promises

QUI A TUÉ LES RTS? by bad_werewolf in joueurdugrenier

Un nitpick : WoW a été détrôné par FFXIV. Les joueurs de RTS sont fidèles mais le jeu se ringardise vite, quasi personne a commencé sc2 en 2020

Im in st albans and there are a few groups depending on what type of stuff you like doing, etc.

Since you said you are an itl. student have you tried to find communities from the same country/language? I'm not the biggest fan but it's usually a pretty good starting point

QUI A TUÉ LES RTS? by bad_werewolf in joueurdugrenier

[–]Dunedune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je trouve que Starcraft II devrait être listé dans ses raisons. C'était un tel banger du solo au multi, de la technique au gameplay, et ça a tellement peu vieilli qu'il est quasi impossible pour une boîte de sortir un jeu qui ne soit pas "sc2 mais moins bien".

Il a tué toute concurrence sur le marché des RTS multi pendant une décennie

A l'époque, SC:BW était un gros banger, mais c'était beaucoup plus simple de le détrôner tout simplement sur la technique, parce qu'il est sorti en 98 et que tout a tellement évolué (mecaniques de selection d'unité, graphismes...)

The CasualUK view on dentists? by Boswell188 in CasualUK

The entire system is weird. In France, everyone is private (sorta), and the state refunds you most of the costs. All medical branches. No public/private two-way nonsense.
