It didn't freeze the Emacs of the guy writing it :-D 1 point for Emacs !

Friends of mine, having romantic dinner on their terrace, had bird shot land into their dinner plates. Bird shot is so small, it's no more deadly than raindrops when it falls back …

That's a beautiful excerpt, thank you. Barnum effect didn't wait for Barnum.

It's overall quite true. But I found that the smaller stores, that live in the shadows of a larger one, do still offer the actual bargains. For example, in Emmaüs Tarare, a smaller…

This post reminds me of the book : Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, by David A. Treleaven. It explains how incompetent meditation can awaken and reinforce trauma, while a competently …

Nothing unusual. Just an answer to the previous comment, that felt thrown over one's shoulder : a whole continent won't switch its energy sources in a couple of days.

It's just about 22h00 here, and -6°C outside the window. Spring has not started...

My wrong, I meant the two different non-english-like consonants.

French guy here, thanking panick21_ for answering an irritating post with a cool head :D

I had a similar experience in spite of not needing any R, living and working in several English speaking countries. My name is Mathias, and the variety of ways English speakers cal…

This wasn't exactly a FPTP situation. First, the presidential election spans over two rounds. Second, about a month later, the legislative elections (two rounds also) were won too …

The top line, "Not Left. Not Right. Forward." kind of reminds me of Macron's "En Marche" ("Let's Go") that took over France in a storm, taking over the presidency AND the parliamen…

Same here. After, like every little French boy, having been fed with Tintin and Asterix in my baby bottle, much of the more modern work made me feel like the author was not straigh…

Not an overlay, but side by side views are shown, when scrolling down enough, in the French article linked by @thinkingremote : https://www.inrap.fr/la-plus-ancienne-carte-d-europe…

This map is impressively detailed and accurate. When you look at a small village-sized area that you know today, you can often recognize the features on the Cassini map (no always …

That makes sense. Then there is still the problem of the cold tarmac, on which summer tyres are said to have poor grip, but that may not be as obvious to the average commuter as a …

Many mountainous regions across Europe too, like the French region where I live. Tyres are potentially part of any routine police check. The region is a rather poor one, and many r…

And if you talk about Germany, there's a whole museum dedicated to those in Bonn. The "Artihmeum". In the city center, by the university. It's huge, fascinating, and I believe I wa…

Come to Europe, masons' ghosts are all over... I used to live cheaply in a simple downtown appartment in a mediterranean city. Year carved in stone : 1724.

Or more likely because very young dogs would grow some basic traits of character while influenced by the behavior that their parents exhibit in front of them.

Yes, one h is hidden inside m... Ending up with energy = something * h^2 actually makes the relationship show the same face as the one for capacitors, where energy = something * v^…

If I think straight, the initial potential energy in a column of liquid would be the integration of m g h (actually integration of density * g * section * height), therefore m g h/…
