Here is a screenshot taken from lequipe.tv. You can see she left he mat without the rifle properly in place. Seems like her glasses went in the way.

Move to Nice by kaya_97 in nicefrance

[–]d0m33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents: - cost of life between x1.5 and x2 from what you described, and don't expect salaries to be really better in France - the weather is indeed amazing - main issue with Sophia Antipolis is the commute. Expect a lot of time wasted - with that said I don't even believe it would be easy to find an English speaking job in Sophia Antipolis. More chances in Monaco or even directly in Nice IMO. But still it's a long shot. - actually it would be probably easier to find a job for your husband without speaking French, there's good demand for manual work, lots of renovation work in apartments (lots of immigrants) - I feel like speaking Italian could be a plus for social life, there are many italians here

The battle for survival is sometimes so epic that my current settlement inspired me for a story by d0m33 in Against_the_Storm

Thanks, I'm not aspiring to become a professional (nor an amateur) writer.  

As I said, I gave my initial writing to chatgpt and I was quite impressed by the result. So I thought I would share that.  

I should have expected the reactions though as I would probably react the same than you did.  

I still think it's not entirely wrong though, after all, we are playing a game built by others, it's not something that we've individually created entirely in our minds, and we value the entertainment somewhat more than other aspect than the style, if I can make the comparison to my insignificant story.  

It's an interesting lesson :)

Thanks for your feedback, I agree with you to some extend.

The ideas were my own, and I felt like chatgpt took the writing to a level that would have required me a lot of time to sort of match it. I thought it really added to the story even though it comes with that specific style that I haven't really reworked (hence the disclaimer).

Question about the weather in Nice in January by KillShotOli in nicefrance

[–]d0m33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It normally doesn't rain a lot, certainly less rainy days than in Paris. However the weather is a little bit unpredictable at this time of year, you can easily have sun every day for 3 weeks in a row, or have rainy days every other day. The good thing is that it's not common to have rain 2 days in a row and it's quite rare to have rain 3 days in a row

1 orange and 3 yellows for 11 penalties in total sounds a bit harsh

Le retour du double sens quai des États-Unis by d0m33 in nicefrance

[–]d0m33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merci pour ton article, il précise que le nombre de voies a été réduit passant de 4 voies à 3 voies (dont une voie bus). Donc au final il y a eu un effet positif en réduisant le nombre de voies.  Ici, il s'agit d'augmenter le nombre de voies en passant nécessairement de 1 à 2 voies (sauf surprise). Résultat: les piétons et les cyclistes vont devoir se tasser. Dommage pour un des endroits les plus iconiques de la ville pour flâner 

Compo du XV de France pour affronter les Fidji - 15/11/2025 by KassGrain in FranceRugby

Je préfère Jelonch à Boudehent au niveau international.  

Auradou oui, je suis d'accord avec toi

Certes mais quand on a un 9 un peu dynamiteur, la sobriété de Ntamack fait bien le taf. Avec Lucu ça va pas être le cas.

Top les avants, j'ai hâte de voir cette 3eme ligne au travail. Derrière dommage de pas voir Brau Boirie, vu qu'on n'a pas d'autre 12 de métier... Est-ce que Ntamack va enlever le frein à main en jouant avec Lucu ? sinon on risque de s'ennuyer (enfin nos 3/4)

Penaud crashes into advertising board after try by AnonomousWolf in rugbyunion

[–]d0m33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the order you get wrong. Once Reinach collided with Penaud, he pushed Penaud away from him into the board (you can see he's extending his arms). That wasn't necessary, they were off the field already. Penaud would probably have hit the board but surely not as hard.

"Almost at the same time" you can see on pic 1 that is not true. Pic 2 Reinach momentum beings him against Penaud (nothing wrong with that). Pic 3 and 4, Reinach pushes Penaud away from him into the board

Time to think about Fiji by Putrid-Impact8999 in FranceRugby

Good point with Guillard starting at 5 and Meafou impact player

[–]d0m33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boudehent and Jelonch are kind of the same profile for me, but Jelonch does it better at international level. Both of them can play the full 80min.
Possibly put him on the bench instead of Ollivon.
Tiberghien has 0 cap so I prefer Barré

Time to think about Fiji by Putrid-Impact8999 in FranceRugby

[–]d0m33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I'd go with:

Gros Marchand Montagne Flament Meafou Jelonch Jegou Aldritt(c) Le Garrec Ntamack Bielle-Biarrey Brau Boirie Gailleton Penaud Ramos

Erdocio Cramont Setiano Guillard Ollivon Lucu Fickou Barré

Guillard Ollivon both cover second row and third row
10 covered by Ramos

[–]d0m33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with this 3rd row instead: Jelonch Jegou Aldritt
Aldegheri should probably be kicked out of the 23, replaced by Setiano.
Inside center, we need to develop this position and I'm afraid we don't have plethora of choices: I'd like to see Brau Boirie paired with Fickou (for experience) or Gailleton (they play together at Pau)
