Not saying you're wrong in general but

if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don't need to panic and you will catch the gear before you're past the point of no return

My shitty Toyota Aygo has a hill start assist thing and it works very well. Basically when you release the brake at 0 km/h it holds it for a few seconds or until you reach the slip point of your first gear. Also handbrake start is right there in the OP, (and a mandatory part of drivers ed over here)

We sure are

It has more than 1000 hp btw. And breaks itself every few miles

Ha ! That happened to me last year actually. Showered in the morning everything was fine. Came back from work to the thing in pieces on my floor. It can happen with tempered glass due to manufacturing defects. I think what actually triggers it to break apart isn't even well understood. And good luck explaining that shit to your landlord because it's pretty rare.

Eh, I know that the pink Floyd producer is a legend but wouldn't have recognized his name.

That would be one hell of a telescopic stand

Oh shit you're right, that is great news !

Exhibit A: there's like 4 gun stores in the entire country.

Case closed.

Let's see some ID before you vote

Wait, how does that work then ? Because here in France you have to show a "electoral card" to vote. It requires virtually zero effort to get though, and I assume it helps a lot with fraud

I think it was 2 casinos

Didn't Australia stiff themselves by trusting trump and cancelling french submarines ? Or are you referring to something else ?

Never realized that the first sentence was so long

I've never heard it pronounced. Which is why I also thought it was "n-jinx"

It's missing the bag breaking a little earlier and falling into the cup so you have to fish it out with the spoon. Bonus points if the spoon is too short

Almost happened to a friend of mine. Good thing he was on his way to babysit the commissioner's kids when the "goons" (who were actually plainclothes officers looking for drugs traffickers, but never identified themselves before they caught him) attacked him.

Yeah that's how I've always seen it described/depicted

Mostly because Microsoft tries to maintain backwards compatibility to ridiculous extents, and their customers grew accustomed to it so they kinda rely on it, no ?

What is it ?

Very good idea. French people are pretty bad at English.

Isn't this one actually addressed ? I remember them releasing the snitch after a few minutes but maybe I plugged that obvious hole in the rules myself
