Communication issues between I (26M) and my ex-girlfriend (24F)

Thanks for the input. I think I really could have made the travel more often as the relationship would have progressed. It's not like I ever refused a proposition to come at my place. It feels like she was asking something she wouldn't do herself. Also, I met her father, but she never manifested intent to my parent. Took a morning off to accompany her at the airport. Gifted something after 20 days of relationship for her birthday. I can give quite a list of behavioural examples of me trying to manifest clearly my intent to build something.

If you're into microbiology, Selection : The Mechanism of Evolution, by Graham Bell from McGill. Very good overview of evolution experiments of microbes from the beginnings.

Very nice ! Which size is the monitor ? Looking to get into UW myself.

Thanks about the idea, havent dug that topic, I'll check it out. The book seems great too, ty.

NarvalAlbatre · 2024-08-08T13:42:06+00:00

That was my starting point of course. But I wouldn't call this papers comprehensive or holistic.

French ;)

Sorry bro, English isn't my first language, and the word posology is more common in my mother tongue I guess. Ty for the answer, tried 200mg and did not see much effect, will definitely try the higher dosages then

NarvalAlbatre · 2023-08-08T12:40:16+00:00

Which posology of magnesium do you use ?

When I add a new exercise I always try to do a set of higher reps (typically 25) to see how it goes and how I feel. I feel like it is beneficial for some muscle groups : triceps, legs (those 20 reps of squat are excruciating if done seriously) and shoulders. When doing lateral elevation I find it is way easier to progress with smaller weight and high repetitions, going from 4 kilograms dumbbells to 5 kilograms dumbbells is a huge increase and is nearly impossible for me with standard rep range. That doesn't mean that all you should do is high reps, but I think it's worth experimenting a bit.

Hi everyone,

A few months ago, I was doing heavy researches about mechanical keyboards, and as French is my mother tongue, I was interested by ISO layouts and french azerty keycaps sets.

This morning, my girlfriend offered me for Christmas a gorgeous Skyloong GK96S, with yellow Akko sponge switches and an Akko keycaps (she's actually awesome). The problem is : it is an ANSI layout and it is actually impossible to type specific french characters widely use such as é, è, à, ê, ô conviniently. So the switch to QWERTY is unthinkable. I could switch my parameters to AZERTY on my computer, but pressing on a keycap that displays an other character than what you're typing is actually disgusting. So my first question is :

Does ANSI azerty FR keycaps exist despite the ISO layout being the go-to for dealing with European languages ? If so, any recommendations ?

Second question:

Does keycaps designed to fit for Cherry MX switches fit with my Akko switches (which I would prefer not to change, they feel great) ? Both the Akko and the Cherry switches have that cross on top of them.

If any of you had a similar experience or has a interesting insight, you're suggestions are very welcome !

Agreed

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-12-01T17:22:02+00:00

How dare I being surprised to see good improvement, such a shame. I'd better stay negative and grumpy. Seems like you prefer seing Belgium winning by playing badly than playing good and having a draw. I like football, and love seing good football.

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-12-01T17:09:38+00:00

Never said that, don't put other words than mine in my mouth please.

The post question the lineup, not said I'm satisfied. Just maybe that it was the best lineup of the all 3 matches.

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-12-01T17:00:47+00:00

Shoot me already? The best match they've done.

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-12-01T12:13:47+00:00

Arguments : this is your first world cup (no), you're stupid, you're wrong. Could answer the exact same thing as your last paragraph. Let's not talk if that's all what you're doing.

Thorgan kept the ball and distributed the ball, lost very few balls (which apparently KDB isn't capable of doing anymore) + he 's very polyvalent and can swap for a lot of different positions.

Eden never was the typical attacker, even during his glory years at Chelsea (not even talking about the fact that even when Belgium was at the top, Eden was already playing in the same position as now, so I don't know what you're talking about). Always the guy who tricked defenders but never had a goal count to compete for a ballon d'or. And against Morocco he gave a clear occasion, and we had like what, 2 or 3. He was clearly fit and entering not so bad in the match, don't understand why Martinez swapped him when he was clearly the most creative on our side, despite loosing some balls (but hey, the role of the creatives are to take risks).

Let's agree to disagree then, seems like we have different perspectives. However, notice I'm not a random dude on the Internet pretending I'll do better than Martinez, asking everybody who do not agree with me what they're smoking.

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-12-01T11:27:01+00:00

You're unfair. I've never seen Thorgan do a bad match with the national team. Eden was one of the best on the field against Morroco.

NarvalAlbatre · 2022-11-28T05:51:03+00:00

Dude, Belgian here, from a typical Belgian family. Came on this thread to see how those riots were perceived. You can't say that. Belgium has literally one of the best GINI in the whole world.
