It's common wisdom in France. If you're paying more than 20 euros for a bottle, it's probably already too much. And it's very common for people to buy in bulk at the favour of seasonal discounts or from the producer. If

My work experience is that it happens everywhere crackdowns and directives get in the way of productivity. Ultimately between getting things done and sticking to the rules, people often pick the first option. I'm also guilty of it to a

I'm in the same boat (with a Nomos). It's just nice to have a (gorgeous) watch that simply is a watch and doesn't demand much from you. On the downside, a full revision every few years is at least a few hundred bucks.

Are you making an equivalency between discriminating between various ethnic groups and discriminating between species ? I don't know where your society is going but I sure don't want to go with it.

So what ? Even if it were ten times more cruel I wouldn't think twice about bursting my belly with it for Christmas. They're just geese, not people.

I've used DeepL for Chinese recently, I used to use Systran, and it's really good, although it tends to bug out on gendering personal pronouns. This being said Google Translation got much better recently. Note that if you want to

I find the implication that a single find can "rewrite history" to be very much hype.

I don't know that I would call tech salaries "middle of the road". We're lucky enough that we're in an industry that leaves a lot of flexibility on the table, it's doable keeping a decent tech income and doin

I can't speak for Spain, but until recently (a bit over ten years) in France university attendance was completely free. Nowadays there's a registration fee, which is 380€ for a doctorate.

In a rural but well maintained area in France, my parents bought recently an old family house for 80k (to which you have to add some renovation costs). In this area a brand new house with a good amount of land is 200-300k. In my own area, a

Baumgartner does "value" restoration. He gets a lot of criticism which I think is unfounded (his way of working is perfectly appropriate for the pieces he's working on), but he's far from the state of the art you see at

Witcher 1 & 2 were popular within the PC RPG niche in France. It attracted the same types that were into Neverwinter Nights, Gothic 2, Morrowind etc.

It doesn't seem to take into account British and French nuclear arsenals (although they're not commensurable to US and Russian ones). Strikes on UK and French territory (which are shown in this simulation), not even mentioning NAT
