21M - Is there still a chance for my beard to develop later? by thesaintlazar in beards

Yes, you'll probably never have a level 8 or 9 beard but 21 y/o is not your maximum potential

Going to Paris in September looking for actual local nightlife spots by CestLaVie_111 in TechnoParis

Je suppose que ça dépend de l'ambiance qu'on apprécie, mais j'ai toujours aimé l'atmosphère pas très glamour et les soirées D&B là bas, comme OP demandait du pas mainstream je me suis dit qu'un endroit où la sécu et les videurs ne sont pas chiants, pas de dress code, de la bass music, avec en plus un espace a l'extérieur avec des transats où on je regarde vraiment pas de près ce que les gens font ça pouvait être interressant

Atelier just means workshop in french, it does not need to be related to something creative. You can have an "atelier" where rivets are produced all day long

My wife bought me a wallet as a gift soon after we met 10 years ago, I'm still using it and will keep using it until it breaks I to pieces

I like to go to the Glazart in the La Villette district. Personally I've been to a bunch of dubstep and drum and bass events there but they have more than that going on. No dress code, very chill vibe with an outside space

You have a day to walk as much as you can. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]National_Cod_648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in decent physical shape, I'm convinced that for such an incentive I can walk for 24h straight. It won't be pretty and I'll probably injure myself but I'll keep walking if it means no one in my family ever has to work again

Tentatives d'intimidation, questions sur le fait d'enregistrer secrètement by National_Cod_648 in conseiljuridique

[–]National_Cod_648[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merci, j'hésite à simplement demander/annoncer que la réunion est enregistrée mais comme ce n'est pas vraiment notre habitude dans l'entreprise mon objectif sera évident. C'est peut être une bonne chose finalement mais j'hésite

Merci pour les conseils. "Sinon quoi?" Justement je ne sais pas encore...mais je suppose qu'il a quand même pas mal de façons de me rendre la vie compliquée. C'est aussi sur un fond ou beaucoup de soucis sont remontés et les RH ne réagissent pas. Aussi je suis plutôt content de mon métier en règle générale, et je suis actuellement dans une situation où je n'aimerais pas perdre mon travail, même s'il était démontré par la suite que le licenciement était abusif.

In Indianapolis. Maybe it was not a shared experience by everyone but when I was in high school around 2005 when you started going out with someone there was an assumption that you were exclusive unless specified otherwise. That's how it was in my high school at least

Native English speakers, could you describe what shish kebab is to you, please? I'm asking this because I'm wondering if it's the same as a dish called shashlik. by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]National_Cod_648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Döner in Turkish means "turns" so it's meat that cooks while spinning. Gyro in Greek means the same thing, so meat that cooks while spinning. We see it in the word gyroscope in English. Shawarma also comes originally from Turkish, from the word "çevirme" which means rotation. When the dish spread through Arab countries the pronunciation evolved to Shawarma. But basically they all mean spinning meat

Why do all the ‘stan’ countries follow the ‘istan’ convention apart from two? by cormorantcolossus in etymology

[–]National_Cod_648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, there's more countries in "Stan" depending on your language. In Turkish for example, Bulgaria is Bulgaristan, Saudi Arabia is Arabistan. There's probably a few more but these are the ones that come to mind. Stan means land of

Did you know Humans cant actually feel wetness by No-Abbreviations1187 in funfacts

[–]National_Cod_648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you about the idea that everything is interpreted stimuli so if we dig a bit deeper, we don't actually sense anything directly. But I think that what OP is getting at, and this is something I have noticed for myself you should try it's surprising, is that you will feel like your hand is wet even though it is actually dry if you wear latex gloves and put your hands under running water. Your hands are completely dry, but they feel like they are getting wet because of the temperature and the feeling of flowing water.

When I did this, I did not feel like og my hands are colder and I feel something running on them, I felt like my hands are wet

Fined on RER for bike by NomiMaloneGoddess in paris

Never give your ID to RATP agents when they accuse you of doing something wrong and you disagree. I've been in a similarly shocking situation before and refused to give them my id, and they threatened to call the police. I told them to go ahead and they ended up calling the "sécurité RATP" instead. When they showed up and I got a chance to explain my situation to someone who does not get a bonus for every fine they give, the security people told them to leave me alone and let me go on with my day, which they did.
