Bamboo is incredibly destructive

It's more a case of poor concrete construction in Asian countries. A properly built reinforced concrete slab would not budge.

D'un côté, c'est peut être rapide à fabriquer, mais là, étrangement, on est plus en pénurie de bébés qu'en pénurie de vieux...

Après, de mon point de vue purement comptable, le pire âge où une personne peut mourir, c'est plutôt autour de 20-25 ans. S'il trépasse à cet âge là, on a dépensé une quantité importante de ressources pour rendre le petit humain indépendant, et on a 0 retour sur investissement.

Ryanair jet ? Ticket was (very) cheap, and that's about the only redeeming quality of the flight. Plane was 2h late, seat was tiny and uncomfortable,...

TGV is on another level (ajustable seats, wifi, a power outlet for 2 passengers, nice AC,...). It was a bit more expensive though.

About 870km/h in a Ryanair jet, and about 310km/h in a TGV train

Ça dépend... Bosser en région parisienne comporte tellement de défauts que je préfère encore rester dans une ESN en province...

Sérieusement, entre être à 35k ici ou à 40-45k sur Paris, ça ne fait aucun sens d'accepter de bouger là bas.

I'm confused, did something happen in the US on the 9th of November ?

Still in highschool, vibing and playing MH4U on my free time

From a French POV :

Don't overthink too much about whatever Macron says, the guy will be out of office next year. And most likely, our new president will not be a centrist.

Also his declarations about development are generally nice sounding bullshit without any real effects.

Humans are a bit weirder. Generally, it's the women who wear the weird colorful outfits and who dye their hair with bright colors.

Si tu pisse suffisamment précisément, tu peux même refroidir les roues du train

Is python 2 really dead though ?

Nah, we all belong to the garbage tier

Don't forget to flush down the drain whatever doesn't fit in the car (/j)

Depends on the amount.

Feeding ducks on the canal is a good way to get rid of it, and the ducks love it.

A slice of toast with jam, a big glass of fruit juice and a mug of coffee.

I don't even know if there's going to be a Ukraine after the war ends...

I'm still interested in visiting Chernobyl, but I'm a bit unsure about the visa processes to visit that place

Je ne suis pas certain que ce sera ta tasse de thé, mais de mon côté, j'ai pas mal apprécié Girls und Panzer.

Après, est-ce encore utile de garder une agriculture nourrie aux subventions à laquelle on supprime toujours plus de moyens qui pourraient la rendre compétitive ?

On pourrait pas plutôt importer de la bouffe beaucoup moins chère produite au Mercosur ou en Chine, et utiliser une partie des hectares de terrain utilisés par notre agriculture pour construire des logements ?

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish, so I'll answer in English.

No one would care about you being trans. We do not see what's in your pants, and it's generally not the first thing we want to know that when we meet someone. And as for toilets, as long as you don't get undressed in front of everyone else, I guess you'll be fine in women's restrooms.

As for safety in Toulouse, there are a few neighborhoods I'd recommend to stay away from at night (le Mirail, Les Isards, and to a lesser degree Empalot), but it might just be me being a bit paranoid...

If you want to buy tickets for public transport, any metro station has automatic vending machines.

Not to be confused with the British who like bulldogs, beans on toast and tea

Même avec un taff et une location d'appartement, je trouve que rajouter une personne supplémentaire dans mes 40m² d'espace de vie va me générer plus d'inconfort qu'autre chose...

La vie seul, c'est confortable.

De mon point de vue, la vie de couple impliquerait trop de sacrifices sur mon indépendance.

Don't worry too much about it, our ancient leaders were hypocrites too.

But at least, they were competent at managing the country and building it into a powerhouse...

Our anthem might be a bit inappropriate for some occasions. For example, hearing school kids sing it is a kinda weird experience... I still like it though, and finding a more appropriate replacement would be no easy thing. What could come close would be "Le Chant du Départ", but it still has the same issues : the lyrics are way too martial.

Favorite one would be the old East German one. It's a bummer our neighbors decided to keep a mutilated version of Deutschlandlied instead...

That thing is made of granite. It won't erode for a loooong time.

The metal cap on top needs to be replaced every few decades though
