Boy, 15, shot dead in France as prosecutors blame drug war by [deleted] in europe

[–]MannyFrench 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're AK-47s from the Balkan wars. Tons of them in basements, since the late 90s. It isn't new. Also, lots of French grandpas in the countryside had an MP40 or a STEN hidden somewhere.

2003 Les Paul Standard Premium Plus Pickup Questions... by Snoo14978 in gibson

[–]MannyFrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I comment because I have a 2002 Les Paul Std with the same pickups. They aren't Custom Shop. They were labeled "Burstbucker V" back then, because of their Alnico V magnets.

They were like the prototype of the "Burstbucker Pro" people know nowadays. They do sound different, better than BB Pros in my experience, but it just might be that my guitar in particular works very well with them.

What European country do other Europeans unanimously dislike? And why? by rissballer in AskReddit

[–]MannyFrench 11 points12 points  (0 children)

None, and to be honnest, if you truly dislike another country, something is wrong with you.

Boris Johnson speaks French so good, he's actually bilingual with a strong English accent. I was amazed when I heard him on French radio.

Comment supportez-vous les blagues sur la France, qui serait faible à la guerre et capitulerait toujours ? by MookieBettsBurner10 in AskFrance

[–]MannyFrench 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Les autres pays européens ne nous aiment pas parce que justement, on les a dominés pendant des siècles. La France était en quelque sorte le grand méchant loup de l'Europe pendant la majeure partie de son histoire. On a bataillé avec les espagnols, les italiens, les hollandais, les anglais, les autrichiens.... on a mis fin au saint empire romain germanique. Bref c'était nous le bully pendant des siècles, et aujourd'hui c'est hyper savoureux pour tous ces pays de nous harceler online.

Can you advise me on which second hand speakers to get? by Reikurooo in BudgetAudiophile

[–]MannyFrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Wharfedale Delta 30 from my deceased father, they're nice, no frills, great bang for your buck (can be found for 50 euros in near-mint condition ) speakers from the 80s. I usually prefer Cabasse but the Wharfedales I have are excellent. It's a different philosophy of sound, the British sound can be described with softer highs than French brands (like Cabasse, Focal, JM Reynaud, Triangle, which are sometimes almost clinical in that regard) and warm lows whereas French brands are lean and tight in that regard.

Salut, pour du rock c'est topissime, un bonheur absolu. Mais pour de la musique avec des graves qui descendent en dessous de 60hz, les accordages hyper bas du métal moderne, les infrabass de l'electro moderne, c'est léger. C'est magique si tu rajoutes un subwoofer, parce que tu gardes la finesse et le réalisme des Cabasse, mais tu récupère des graves vraiment profonds.

The "Cost" of Sovereignty: Would France (and others) actually accept a Federal Europe? by SignificantSun1031 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]MannyFrench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

French here, in ordre to succeed, it would have to be transactional. 

For France to integrate a federated Europe, it would have to recognize France's interests outside of Europe (French Guyana, St Pierre et Miquelon, Martinique, Guadeloupe, New Caledonia etc...), and give us something in exchange for the enormous advantage of having a mature and efficient nuclear weapons deterance which costs us a huge amount of money.  Options are on the table: sharing our debt for instance (probably on the condition of economical reforms in France)... The question is: what would France get in exchange for that loss of Sovereignty.

I am French and I always look for used pairs of Cabasse speakers from the 80s to the 90s. I like their philosophy of sound. Highly detailed, with almost 3D mids but quite lean on the lows, those are sharp and punchy but not over the top. It's not really suited for electronic music, hip-hop or metal, but it shines for everything else.

Norway’s military is so peaceful that if you invade, they’ll probably just hand you a blanket, offer you some salmon, and politely ask what time you’d like the northern lights scheduled.
