It’s so pleasant that DM has clean toilets for when I’ve poorly planned my liquid intake, shops in France don’t generally have toilets for the public and the malls that do don’t really care if they’re clean it seems.

Vuvuzelas.

Not only that but recent lineups from a lot of manufacturers have 95% of the same power train including essential parts, and loads of different models with different tunes. The lowest trim BMW 1 series from a few years ago can be tuned to 200 HP without any mods… it’s illegal in a lot of places, it doesn’t stop people.

A confused question but actually it’s not stupid… the line between living and non-living isn’t 100% clear.

Picture taken in Paris ~20 years ago I’d say so you weren’t far off.

If those fuckers could read I wonder what they’d think of the book.

I’m still bitter Morrowind vanilla didn’t let you side with Dagoth Ur if you decided to also play an evil xenophobic maniac who wants to spread a flesh-eating disease on the continent.

I’d say very few games have a lot of effort put into the evil arc.

AliExpress at least lets you buy close to the source of a lot of goods that you won’t find made elsewhere than China. Some stuff I find there exists from European makers, latest example, trim clips for cars: you can buy Restagraf but you need to live near a car body shop supplier that will be willing to sell you a few clips without insane markups.

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

So if you hit wildlife you have to pay or does it only count for domesticated animals that aren’t allowed on roads in most places? That sounds insane. In most countries if you hit a dog with your car the dog owner is liable for damages to your car in most cases, same with cattle unless it’s part of a convoy.

So that’s why the keyboards are waterproof too?!

It’s also a concern with methylphenidate and is actually checked when it’s given to children.

I don’t know if I am fun but filling forms online sure beats losing years worth of income to my own stupidity if I were to be intoxicated (which I do not do anymore but you never know…).

I banned myself from casinos where I live and in all neighbouring countries because the house always wins and there should be no way I can give them money. (The gambling regulators allow you to ban yourself) I’ve never been to a casino I just know I can’t be trusted.

My oven is a piece of shit that has unreliable temperature control and manages to have hot spots even with the fan on. I bought it new and I don’t think it will die any time soon. Joke is I paid a lot more than for my previous oven and it’s the worst piece of shit I’ve ever had, a miniature countertop oven I had way back that was old as balls gave more consistent results.

Magnets are brilliant. I had to go really high up the range for mine to have a motor that opens the door at the end of each cycle. It has good energy ratings too but I’m not sure the extra cost will be worth it in its lifetime because the “eco” cycle is like the cheating on the homologation run of cars: it uses so little power and heat nothing gets clean enough if it’s full.

I think a straight razor would only be cheaper at scale, if you shave half the town in one go every few days. They’re fun but they’re obsolete for a reason: time isn’t free and the upkeep is so much work!

How do you deal with the contorsions needed to shave on the side your good hand doesn’t flex well towards? I have an actual straight razor that I seldom use because it works really well and I don’t usually cut myself, but it’s really annoying to get everywhere on myself with it. I don’t trust using my other hand whereas with a safety razor if I need to I can without peeling half my face off.

If you’re coding with them you can already try small ones, unless you need bigger than A4 size for each it isn’t insanely expensive.
