    Incredibly boring on Ferrari's part, the design language is both trite and outdated. The type of car itself isn't something people go to Ferrari for. I'm sure it's a decent car, bu…

    It's cultural latency. Europe is the faster warming continent and the buildings were perfectly fit for purpose 30 years ago. Old people lived their entire lives without AC and plai…

    Baltic and the older layers of Celtic languages are known to be pretty conservative, if not archaic, within the context of IE languages. If you look at Old Irish the ressemblance w…

    Glad to see such a move from the Wrap team. It's been my go-to terminal emulator for a few years due to : - Being able to drop in a brand new laptop and have almost all I need out …

    The first motorized thing I've ever driven was a Massey Ferguson 37 I think. I still hope to have my own some day ! At the moment my little brother and my father, who are living in…

    You're mis-interpreting if you're thinking I'm ascribing it to race . Frankly, I'm not an American and I don't care for it. I'm saying quite literally that it's over-represented in…

    It's a decent list of what readers in France think of as the books to read from the 20th c., in that it holds value. Including to myself, a French citizen with odd tastes. The gene…

    Cormac McCarthy is decently translated (for having read him in both English and French) and is well known. But for the average French litterati, American literature harks back to H…
