I assume coloured illustrated incunabula were hand coloured, as coloured woodblocks were complicated. Coloured editions are generally rare.

It's a matter of not wasting each other's time and energy on futile things. If it's not going well for one reason or another, better to politely end it and let each other do something else with their day.

You're right, but not because of politics. Cédric O is part of the wave of businessmen who went into politics recently to follow Macron. He's however a typical French industry guy : went to one of a handful of elite highschools, t

Integrating into small German towns can be hard even for Germans... And big German cities are affordable with a US military salary, but you'll probably have a flat and not a McMansion with a front and back yard. But not working (no rel

I worked in various places in Northern Germany a few years ago, close to the Danish border. Some businesses and most federal and state-related institutions would stop working at noon on Fridays. I was told it was to alleviate the pressure o

Yeah, it's one ministry pating another, but it's still necessary. Possibly a European rule.

The French would be okay. But German defense policy is built around self-defense and coalition defense: NATO, EU, UN. Nuclear weapons are opposed by Germany, and it's only because NATO is viewed as essential that nuclear sharing is acc

The French proposal was intended as an incentive to make nuclear policy evolve and think about common European interests, and wasn't really meant to be practical. As you state, it would require to change German constitutional law. It a

They were, which is why this would be big news. The F-35 is a huge and long term defense US diplomacy and influence manoeuver. Maybe the recent changes in the strategic context have helped change the stance, or maybe it's mostly the fa

The problem with the F-35 is its cost for the buying country. Complex, costly, almost no offsets, and black box systems (only the Israeli AFAIK have a custom system). Also it can only take a few munitions, while keeping its supposed stealth

'Manquer' translates well to 'miss' when you miss the bus or a target, you're lacking something ('cette veste manque un bouton') or a quality ('il manque de courage'). Manquer has also a passive

I read both these texts and made myself the same reflexion. I'm not as vehement and thought it was a matter of discourse (who they write as and for, where they write from etc). Anyway, I found Politics and the English language uninspir

I speak French and studied Latin. We have so many language oddities (and of course 'exceptions confirm the rule') that we're not so quick to judge English. The case of 'naître' is interesting. Naître is mostly used

Most serious writing guides will tell you to avoid the passive voice, since in almost all cases the meaning is clearer in the active voice.

Any podcast should be prepared and scripted to some extent, especially shorter ones. Especially good political comment/talk shows. Unprepared 15-minutes interview podcasts are just as annoying to me as very long one. This relies on the

I find Fall of Civilizations lacking. It often lacks structure, few sources are cited (though I don't doubt the author's seriousness) and few points are made. I much more prefer Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, even if it is ba

Germans stereotypically have a conceptual intelligence. If something is good, they will like it. This is why they like badly-translated US sitcoms so much when there's a laugh track. This is why the French sell so much bad-tier wines i

There aren't a lot of fully private academic education institutions in Europe, compared to the US. But I wonder if they could do that sort of thing based of their existing limitations for academic freedom. If an institution funded by V

What if you filed a legal request for all the information Paypal has on you, then for deletion of that information? This is permitted by EU law, is possible in most EU countries and should fix the permaban issues for most cases.
