Here in France it certainly was nothing that would get you labelled an alcoholic 40 years ago. But it was rather an upper limit.

> Wine to kids at school lunch. Never heard that one. My father's friends in boarding schools in the 1960s would have a glass of wine or apple wine (cidre) on sunday, but that was as wild as it got. But maybe it was a regional thing

There is a cultural change and people drink much less wine at work during lunch breaks. But it's still served in a lot of work cafeterias. Maybe work has become mless wine-compatible? But long lunch breaks are still there. My boss so

I think he meant "litigation" which is quite transparent and can mean arbitration.

Yeah, Cassation Court is a sort of sub-Supreme Court. It has the ability to break rulings (French casser , hence the name) if the law wasn't well done, or if the wrong law was applied to the case, or if some judicial norms (laws, basi

I use such lists on my server's router and Firewall to block incoming connections from those IPs and bad ASNs, including with geographic blocking. Less traffic, smaller attack surface, less trouble. As others implied, it doesn't m

For me exercise don't bring a lot of extra benefits in this regard, but walking an hour without headphones does help.

Yep. - Knowing what you really want - and reflecting one minute about something before starting it. If you're clear with yourself that you don't want to do something, it helps too. - understanding a bit more about motivation in ge

I had light sleep apnea problems, it really saps the life out of you. In my case it was probably a consequence of other problems (stress, schedule, very broadly varying work and sleep hours). Daily physical activity and more balanced alimen

I'm too lazy to find the source again in Korean media, but they've bet heavily on the Webtoon craze, trying to compete with Naver. I don't know the details, but from what I can see from Naver, this means paying professional a

Korea in much stricter on Copyright issues, and Kakao is losing 10 millions USD on webtoons yearly.

The reading experience on official webtoon apps is bad. Webtoon doesn't let you scroll within an episode, Tapas is buggy, both have horrible recommendation functions that shove more or less NSFW things (especially tapas) into your fac

I couldn't get Suwayomi to work properly on my homelab without a desktop install. I found Komga easier to use with local files (Suwayomi is great for accessing online sources). Kavita trumps them both in this regard, though it has a fe

Seems great, I'll test it soon ! I know Christmas is over, but my letter to Santa would include: - some Anki sync feature (over an external Anki sync server or any other solution) - a non-docker install guide - of course more languages

I worked in software in a domain vaguely related to ATC, and I've heard a few years ago that even sampling the voice commands (and routing them as VoIP) is problematic , as altering the signal through sampling and encoding can go again

They've been liberal since they were founded. They defend free-market economy, self determination of individuals, open societies, free global movement of capital, men and information. However, they might not be liberal in the sense tha

I agree. Also, in Denmark and today's Northern Germany, Wik is used in particular to designate places where boats could be beached and where trade was conducted in a non permanent fashion, i.e. a beaching harbour used for trade events.

The public scribes of the times (who were dictated a good part of the letters in the article) are well documented, and what I read of them is coherent with these letters. The language is very informal. Since the guys were paid by word or pa

There are a few airports in Europe with a high-speed train station in the airport, like Roissy in Paris (sadly the trains don't go to Paris, wouldn't be French enough) or Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. It can be extremely practical to

European high-speed trains do 195mph, no security controls except between France and Great Britain, relatively cheap, and often cheaper and faster than planes up to 600 miles, taking into account transportation to the airport and time lost

Alexandre Koyré has written a book and a lot of articles about it (well-known are the Copernician and Gallilean moments), and it made me mostly realize how different their thinking could be. His works are sometimes hard to read because of

Timothy Snyder's lectures on Ukrainian history in 2022 are very enlightening in this regard. He also stresses the need to discuss German imperialism in WWII, a topic that went out of focus after the invention (of the concept, for lack

IIRC the German fleet had been traumatized by a series of false sexual assault claims by one or two women in the late 90s. I don't remember the details but it was before women were allowed to serve in every position in 2000/2001.

I've been on modern sailships as well, and also read a bit about 17th and 18th century ships. My impressions are that (excluding galleys) life conditions on board had to be "good enough" and sailors (and soldiers) would openl

What hilbert42 says is very relatable to me even if it never got so bad for me. I can't stress enough how everything is different "when one can't 'go home' during off hours". I used to be an enlisted sailor, th
