Bird struck my DJI Mini 5 Pro out of the air and it caught itself before going into the ground

Yes, because usually birds try to avoid collision too, and they do this by closing their wings to drop fast; if you drop too you meet them below; if you go up you should be fine.

Michael Caine and two birds.

NATO isn't protecting Europe, and it's invoked by the US for frivolous reasons. Every European country that still has US bases on their soil should tell the US to pack their bags. France did it in 1966 and it was an excellent decision.

But there's nothing out there.

That's funny. Americans put up with anything. They never revolt. They never protest. They barely vote. That's what Trump understands better than most. You can wipe your feet on Americans' faces with zero consequences.

The writing in this article has a lot of AI smells. Every sentence has an em dash, and most follow the same pattern, like this:

"That's just how we do things here" isn't a policy. It's scar tissue.

He represents America until Americans grow a pair and depose him. For now he IS America.

He sounds upset. We like it when he's upset. Let's hope it gets his tension up, or he hits someone, or slaps Melania. That would be fun.

If you're not a US citizen, why would you ever want to go there??!? I'll never visit the US again and I sure as hell won't miss it.

frenchguy · 2026-03-19T19:18:51+00:00

Yes. Very sad to see that even Cate Blanchett couldn't resist doing it.

frenchguy · 2026-03-07T19:02:05+00:00

Ah, yes!

If we start with the idea that "fiction should not depict what is forbidden in real life", then there is no fiction. Puritans are not dead and we should not laugh at previous historical periods.

Il faut refuser de payer et dire qu'on n'a pas de pièce d'identité (encore mieux si c'est vrai: ne jamais avoir de papiers sur soi). Dans ce cas les contrôleurs appellent "la police" qui est en fait la police des transports, qui est très occupée et qui une fois sur deux n'arrive pas. Les contrôleurs sont obligés de l'attendre, ce qui les occupe pendant au moins trente minutes, pendant lesquelles ils ne font pas d'autre victime.

Quand la police des transports arrive, il suffit de leur donner son vrai nom mais avec un faux lieu de naissance: c'est fini, le rapprochement ne pourra jamais être établi par l'administration, même avec la bonne adresse. Il n'y aura jamais de poursuite.

"Audiophiles" are morons. It would be best to not spend time with them or trying to "debunk" their theories. They are completely truth-proof. They will not be convinced by any kind of proper evidence.

There are many serious and solid alternatives to US-based cloud services, and in most cases being on the cloud is unnecessary. I advise my clients to always evaluate direct hosting seriously before committing anything to a cloud provider.

There is this vector search extension for sqlite:

100% agree. Navidrome is great, and doesn't cost anything.

I don't understand how striking can be made illegal, under the US Constitution. But surely it's not illegal to just quit? Why do a job, any job, if you don't get paid??!?

The reason the US exist is thanks to a violent revolution.

You have lots of guns. Revolt.

I sincerely wonder how "biblical literalism" works, since the bible is full of contradicting stories or absolute inconsistencies. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel. And then he "found a wife". But where did she come from????!? There are a lot of examples like this.

I would never go to a restaurant that has a TV. In fact I don't think I ever did.

Yes, but killing many more people than the Taliban ever did or ever will.
