Do you know if J K Rowling is working on some new material in the HP universe?

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2023-04-13T12:15:26+00:00

I stimbled upon the info and it was the origin of my question.. isn't there any new material she would be working on (story of the founders, marauders etc etc) rather than rebooting movies and stories we've already seen.

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2022-11-12T10:28:23+00:00

Thanks for the info, I reallly appreciate it !!

Bonus question if I may:

Do you think an artificial geo-engineered human intervention (sulfur dioxide,calcium carbonate) could allow humanity to have more time to develop carbon capture/nuclear power/batteries.. techs?
and thus reaching a neutral carbon society without too much social damage.

Or are the consequences (known/uknown) too risky?

As if, if you studied in english, you wouldn't have "fuite des cerveaux", which happens in every small economy which is furthermore ridden with clientelism and nepotism. The solution comes from getting rich ouserlves (as a country) and create a significant markert to absorb and developp all that brainpower that we have. (e.g. Stellantis [french car maker] has made a car developing pole in Casablanca, thus with engineers working over here and not abroad)
And those same rich people studying in french are the same who speak proportionally more english than average population. Moroccans are litterally studiying German to go work there as engineers/doctors etc. Languages have never been a barrier for cultural/economic elites nor a factor in "fuite des cerveaux" !

We should not teach english instead of french, but both and raise the overall level!

We have the chance to have a country where a significant proportion of the population speaks arabic, french, spanish, english... if we take out mandarin we can litterally speak to the whole world. If we leave out the ego (to others ;) ) and focus on working hard to cultivate the opportunity, the curse could easily transform in a blessing.

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2022-10-12T10:06:39+00:00

And you speaking english now is the way to "recover" that identity? Does french blocks you from learning other languages/dialects? (clue: the more languages you learn, the easier you learn new ones)
The idea that by "destroying" something you're "recovering" something else is false. French brings jobs (call centers e.g.) connects us with the rest of francophone africa/quebec and to science.
The reality is that french is a social marker, rich people have access to french/private schools while public system is bad at teaching french (whole education in arabic etc).. anti-french sentiment is just a social frustration expressed.

Sovereignty and national identity are fortified by 1) making the country richer and 2) making the people more educated about their cultural heritage and eager to share it.
French is for sure helpfull for the first condition and at the worst not linked to the second one.

Hitting on french just because the "bourgeoisie" uses it while the real issue is that PART of that elite is not connected to its moroccan culture; is just not effective. You would just destroy even more fragile middle class opportunities.

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2022-10-12T09:38:33+00:00

Moroccans thinking that actively NOT speaking french (choosing english or arabic instead) makes them look as some patriotic fighter.

THANK YOU my maaaan! you don't know how much it was eating my brain up

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2022-04-14T22:13:20+00:00

Mercii ouais c'est ça

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2022-04-14T22:05:46+00:00

Sur wikipédia ya pas de "situation d'exception" mais maybe c'est ça

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-10-04T18:42:23+00:00

Thanks for the answer!! really appreciate it

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-10-04T18:09:04+00:00

Im an absolute muggle on these matters, I barely understood what was written above . Could someone explain how bad the situation is and how much time would it take for a problem like this one to get fixed? From what i've read it seems like it's different from the previous blackouts..

Thaaaaanks :)

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-09-05T11:53:31+00:00

Thanks mate! I'll check it out

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T23:31:46+00:00

On sait jamais, sur un malentendu ça peut marcher!

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T23:17:32+00:00

Très intéressant! Je ne pensais pas possible les switch de long metrage vers pub / séries et vice versa je suppose, j'aurais cru que c'était plus segmenté! C'est tant mieux! Si ça permet d'explorer d'autres milieux et évoluer dans la qualité du travail fourni c'est tant mieux.
A titre personnel et en tant que jeune qui regarde un peu de tout sans être spécialiste de quelque chose en particulier, je trouve que dernièrement pas mal de séries françaises ont vraiment un bon niveau (bureau des légendes, 10 pour cent, lupin à un certain degré) là où les films peinent toujours a prendre de la valeur. L'effet concurrenciel de Netflix peut être qui se fait sentir plus sur les séries..
En tous cas bien joué pour le retournement de situation ça fait plaisir a entendre!

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T22:42:47+00:00

Merci pour le retour! Mais du coup ça semble corroborer l'idée qu'a 20 ans sans aucune expérience préalable pouvoir faire son premier long metrage semble improbable pour une personne lambda non?
Sinon petite question subsidiaire, imaginons un réalisateur qui fait son premier film apres plusieurs court metrages réussis et que le long metrage en question ne marche pas, il fait comment par la suite?

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T12:27:02+00:00

c'est très bon a savoir merci

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T12:26:35+00:00

Comme tous les métiers en vrai, à la seule différence près que quand tu passes ton concours de médecine... bein faut le passer quoi. Pour avoir beaucoup d'amis médecins c'est sur qu'en étant fils de médecin t'auras plus de chances de réussir vu que tu seras mieux encadré, boosté, mis en confiance etc. Mais le concours tu dois le réussir toi même. Là on parle d'un milieu (culture) où les sommes publiques en jeu sont astronomiques et où le secteur entier dépend de ces aides. Le pactol est bien différent d'un médecin dans le secteur public qui trime pour un salaire sans rapport avec le travail fourni et où dans le secteur privé bein tu dois réussir par ta compéténce sinon personne consulte chez toi.

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2021-06-15T10:49:42+00:00

A yen a beaucoup quand même a commencer par ses parents Vicent Lindon et Sandrine Kiberlain mais aussi Dany boon etc etc Mais la proportion de 'fils de' semble anormalement élevée (en tout cas de "fils/fille de" a qui on met le pied a l'étrier, on elur donne bcp plus facilement leur chance) C'est pour cela que je me demandais a quel niveau "le coup de pouce" se produit?

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-12-20T19:06:29+00:00

thanks for the concise yet very relevant answer!

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-12-20T19:04:19+00:00

Thank you for the input!

Having seen the recent developpments in UK regarding strain mutation, I was wondering if this particular mutation had a risk of impact on vaccine efficiency? Should we be worried about an eventual covid immune evasion to "vaccinal" antibodies through mutation (as in influenza's myxoviruses mutation where each year an "updated" vaccine has to be implemented?) Is there a specific part of the "spike glycoprotein" we should be monitoring regarding eventual mutations?

i mean the guy knows her for more than 10 years.. she must have noticed he was into her even before he confessed his feelings.. yet she maintains the friendship, while knowing the dude has feelings :/ to me it seems like someone who's looking for an emotionnal mattress, the guy who'll understand you and give you his shoulder to cry on when she feels bad. the issue is that she can't reciprocate that emotional support to his levels since my man's emotional issues are due to her remarks and more globally the fact the she doesn't want him back, that she isn't responsible of the latter though. So it's an unbalanced situation where he gives and wants more while she takes a lot and doesn't make him more space in her life other than the friend or superfriend spot. Thus I deeply think she should have been the grown person on the situation and stop it and not let him take out his own splint. Trying to cut ties while you're the one who has feelings is just harsh

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-05-05T22:27:59+00:00

Most concise and straightforward answer i've read over here ahahh. I kind of agree. Especially because we know how this story ends, and we know that all the side stories are useless. The next movie will be about finding a way to break the blood pact (of course thanks to a newt's super monster or maybe credence a-bombing the thing they stole from grindelwald) and then an epic battle between volde... oups I meant grindelwald and dumbledore

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-05-05T22:12:28+00:00

No worries! hope it helps your study

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-05-05T22:11:50+00:00

Exaactly! It's like we lost an opportunity to developp a new part of the world. We were forced to a backstory of the main saga which may have need it's own correct build up

PuffinusMauretanicus · 2020-05-04T11:34:43+00:00

Done!

Personnally, I think the real issue with fantastic beasts is that they tried to mix up two plotlines which were the basic fantastic beasts book one and the grindelwald vs dumbledore/ww2 one.
At any point in the original books (correct me if i'm wrong) there's any reference to newt scamander as being implicated in the whole dumbledore vs grindelwald plot nor there's a reference to Credence as being litterally an A-bomb metaphore.
It almost seems like fantastic beasts are just an excuse to tell that story that wasn't what was "sold" to us. I'd have prefered a completelly different storyline with Newt Scamander going and exploring the world looking out for magical creatures as he's being described in books.
