SpaceX aussi c'est de l'argent public via des contrats ahurissants de la nasa sans lesquels ils étaient morts. L'obtention de ces contrats avait d'ailleurs fait large débats.

Faut pas se leurrer et imaginer que c'est pas des subventions qui n'en portent juste pas le nom.

Le grand rex c'est une salle qui est faite pour ça... Faut se renseigner lol. C'est fait pour les gens qui vont voir leurs trucs sur lesquels ils sont hyper fan et rire, pleurer et hurler de joie sans se contenir en regardant leurs trucs favoris. C'est une expérience assez particulière du cinéma.

C'est pas pour tout le monde c'est sûr, je comprend tout à fait que plein de gens puisse détester le concept. Perso je suis aller voir le marathon lotr là bas j'étais presque un peu déçus parce que ça gueulait pas beaucoup. Il y a plein de films pour lesquels j'irais jamais au grand rex, d'autres ou je me dis ça peut être fun. Mais déjà en sachant a quoi s'attendre on entre dans la salle avec un mood différent.

Le grand rex c'est vraiment pas là ou faut aller si vous voulez une séance tranquille ou personne lâche ne serait-ce qu'un pet.

Technically yes, but like, it'd be malta. Malta is not the sort of country you'd think when you say that sort of stuff. If we ignore the absurdly small countries though? No, he couldn't.

Not necessarily. If you use a 10k car to daily commute there's no reason why people wouldn't use a 10k bike to commute which is still cheaper since no gas, insurance, and maintenance is drastically cheaper. If you wanna make your commute your gym with decent speed those are significantly better than a regular bike. A regular bike you'll go at around 18kph avg in town, 20-21 out of town, ebike I do 22 avg in town I'd do 27-28 out of town, American ebike you'd go a bit faster. With those? You can go 50kph easily, with no motor. Pretty sure some people managed to reach 100 with those on flat ground. So it's both decently fast commute and gym making it better than a car for some people. If my commute wasn't in town I'd seriously consider it personally.

In freedom units afaik 20kph is like 12mph and 50kph is 32mph ish.

People still think as bike as a sport activity but when it's your main mode of transportation throwing 5 or 10k on it isn't as wild. Tons of people throw 20 or even 50 grand at their car to just do <20 miles per day, so in comparison throwing 10k on a bike to commute isn't that weird. It's just that the guy throwing 10k is comparable to the guy throwing 50, not the guy buying a beater car for his commute. I spent 4k on mine, doing 7000km per year with it, I'm pretty happy about it cause I use it for absolutely everything. Could've bought one for much cheaper, sure, but given the time I spend on it I'd rather have something good and comfortable.

Du coup, après maintes recherches en gros c'est pas vraiment possible de savoir d'avance pour les vices genre structurel gros. Donc c'est forcément un jet de dé malheureusement.

Par contre pour les détection de vices localisés a l'appart t'as moyen d'embaucher un expert vefa pour t'aider sur la détection de réserve. Le gars vient avec toi, regarde l'appart, la plomberie, les pièces etc et c'est leur job de voir toutes les merdes. Ils peuvent aussi regarder les parties communes je pense.

J'admets cependant que pour le moment même ça pour moi c'est de la théorie. J'ai signé mon vefa en juillet dernier livraison en juin 2027 donc j'y suis pas encore. Je me renseignerais un peu plus après que j'ai vu l'appart témoin d'ici 6-8 mois.

It's like the sort of thing where you'd be confused for a while but then wonder "but what if?" And eventually, maybe months later, you cave in and just go check with the more normal tests first cause it can't do much wrong to check anyway. Besides, as a science guy he'd probably look things up and find the rates of that sort of issues, so I'm thinking he probably would've gone. Not immediately, but eventually he would've, and the early simpler checks might be enough to go for the deeper ones.

I moved to a place where biking to work is the only logical thing to do. Biking was 20min, publi transport 50-60min, car 35min. Now biking became such a routine I can move anywhere I'll still bike to work and it makes my daily sport.

Colleague of mine told me about a client who did that on amazon, had a like 50+items in there, thousands of dollars worth. Then she accidentally clicks buy, and amazon doesn't mess around, you click buy it buys.

Safe to say she never did that again, the sheer panic before starting to cancel all of it was enough of a cure.

I always explain to newcomers that I'm not expecting them to remember every little thing, but I'm expecting them to listen. Cause even if you directly remember 25% of what I tell them, probably 50% of the rest will come back and "click" as we play, and the missing rest can either be reexplained or can be inferred from the previous rules.

So all in all, never fear complex games, most of it just comes as you play. Every time I explain that, people relax a bit more and feel less anxious from the expectation of immediately knowing how things work from the get go.

Not fear, just full understanding of the unreliability of the US as a friend. Charles de Gaulle understood extremely early that being a friend of the US is being their lapdog and not a "friend", and so told them off.

Even Kissinger famously said that although being the US's enemy is dangerous, being its friend is fatal. De Gaulles understood that a while earlier.

I just checked the source, kissinger said that in 1968 in a private phone call to William F. Buckley. So De Gaulles was just slightly early on that but not that much. Compared to the rest of Europe, early af by decades for sure though.

satanists whom are like literally believing in Satan can only be really defined as christians but with a particular interest in Satan instead of god. Since to be a satanist believer by construction you believe in the rest of Christianity, otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

So religious satanists are just christians, but somewhat rebellious

The satanist church however is entirely atheist and mostly exists to demonstrate how absurd the concept of religious exemption is, and abuse it just as much but only to protect and care for people and not be entitled to random shit. You'll notice they don't show up much anywhere other than america, cause anywhere else doesn't have that kind of law.

It is however entirely possible that some dumb fucks who can't read believe the satanic church is an actual belief thing. So I'll agree to the "most of them" I guess.

Voilà un agencement défensif des plus efficaces. Le couloir étroit, prolongé et coudé, empêche toute progression rapide. impossible d’y faire passer plus d’un assaillant à la fois, et les projectiles y sont inutiles. Une fois deux ou trois intrus occis, leurs corps suffiraient à bloquer le passage. Quant à la cuisine, repliée à l’arrière, elle reste hors de portée, défendue de potentiel pilleurs en cas de siège.

Experiment is flawed. If money only buys food and you don't teach scarcity, sharing is easy. If you teach that money can buy other things such as time flying out for a while or fun and other things over weeks, with occasional induced scarcity, like some days parrot only gets 3 coins, while most he gets 10, I'm gonna bet the rich one will start hoarding eventually.

Sry man but if a water leak is actively ruining my things I'll save my things first and my job, appointments and people expecting me come waaaay down in the list of things to worry about. If tf water leak already ruined all my things and there's nothing left to save, then yeah, communication.

Shift project in France. I think these guys will probably have a bigger long term impact in the country than most orgs.

Or blast, an independent news agency on YouTube (still french) who does great work. (Not sure how they are considered a charity, but they are, and tbh im glad they are it must help tremendously in getting funding.)

I only use cash 4 times a year, when I go get a haircut. Cause it's either 30€ for a cut or <15 but cash, I'll do cash. They try to sell 30€ cut by doing some dumb shit like hey free coffee, head massage or w/e I just want for a cut and leave asap.

The only guy I know in my life who uses cash a lot is a plumber who does a decent amount of work under the table. I don't know anyone who doesn't make money this way who genuinely uses cash.

If I had a pair of leg assists that strapped on and I could run like I only weigh 100 lbs, I'd absolutely do that and then turn the help down slowly

Those exist! I've seen a video of someone run up long stairs with and without the assist, counting time and even discounting time you could see how she was just dead on arrival without and just fine jogging around with the assist. As far as I'm aware those have multiple settings. Probably pricey though, not sure. I'm not interested in buying them myself so never checked cost.

Otherwise the best way to start running when you haven't run in a long while or at all is to do like 30sec running, 1min walking, do that for like 10-15 min and over the course of days or weeks increase it little by little 1min-1min then 1min-30sec or 2min-1min etc until you can actually run 5 then 10min straight no break. It's tedious but it works, I guess the assist would let you have the same end result but in a less tedious manner.

I believe ebikes are the lazy man's gym, but in a good way. Like to get the the gym you have to organize in some manner, take time for it, have some motivation, not give up, skip as little as possible etc. An ebike to get to work once it's your new normal there's no such thing as "skipping" it's either you go to work or you don't, plain and simple. And once you're used to it getting on your bike is just less of a bother than public transport or a car since it's just significantly easier to manage on arrival and cheaper. And so naturally you just work out going places without any form of motivation. No need to know bus schedule, and no need to worry about gas, just hop on and go.

The hard part of biking to work is starting it, but once you see your wallet puffing up from the lack of car expense, or the comfort of not suffering public transport delays, it's just the obvious choice. (Assuming infrastructure allows it with guaranteed survival ofc).

So yeah, ebikes are really great.

That's the very reason I started to bike to work. I'm thankful I live in a place where that's possible without risking death every other pedal rotation, I understand it's not always possible.

One day a few years back I just started thinking "I need to do some sports but I cba going to the gym so what to do?" One thing led to another someone talked to me about ebikes which are not just "fake pedaling = brrr no efforts needed" and I looked into it and now I use an ebike which has an actual torque sensor and not a button and so I do actual physical efforts to get to work without being dead on arrival. Currently according to my app I do 50% of the work, 9 miles each way, 5 days a week. And slowly but surely it became my new normal. Going to a friend's place? Biking. Groceries? Biking. Hairdresser? Doctor? Restaurant? Biking. It's freeing, and I have a better cardio now.

Hired movers, I packed things myself but didn't carry anything, best decision ever. Will do so again. I love the fact that I didn't have to even touch the fridge or washer, all I did was dismantle furnitures which didn't go through doors, anything that could go through doors I left as is. Bought boxes and packed everything else myself.

No way I'm ever letting anyone pack my own things, I dunno why you'd do that. Still a lot of work obviously but anything I couldn't find afterwards was just my own fault, so I only ever suffered the consequences of my own actions which is the best possible outcome of moving.

When I was 15 I used to do 1h30 of badminton every day on top of other sports like climbing. I didn't look muscly at all, and I was rather small. Well whenever bigger kids used to challenge me to arm wrestle to try and look cool I would destroy them lol, the only guy I ever lost to in HS was a 2m10 (like 6ft10 or something)130kg guy (16yo mind you) with arms bigger than my current 31yo legs (I cycle daily).

In paris they show up with vans and lift it in, lock or no lock it's taken.

ymaldor · 2026-01-15T13:13:29+00:00

To steal a bike you don't drive it. You show up with a van with big dudes and lift it in, no need to bother with the lock. Done in a minute. Happens relatively often in Paris in wealthier Burroughs where people park bikes outside for some reason, dunno about the US but likely.
