That's a fair point, and indeed, it looks like pretty awful, you're right that I could have phrased it better.

The worst, is that the question came when reading stuff like Being a cat girl must be cool and I was thinking about how cat reproduce making being a cat girl pretty uncool

The last formal duel in the western hemisphere, occured in 1968. Pretty sure some lemming were already alive at this time, and most of us had parents alive at this time. It was between two french politicians after a heated argument at the parliament.

So it could come back quite quickly.

Wait, you don't it in the US ? Kids who aren't comfortable in school start learning a trade at 14, so by the time they're 18 they have some skills.

I get that it's a pitty that non everyone reads philosopher or learn about history and science, but on the other hands, some kids are really uncomortable at school, so having them working one week, and going to school one week is an alternative which pulls some student out of the failure cycle

Also, close the blinds during the day, keeping the sunlight outside the house/apartment prevents it from getting warm.

However, a lot of things depends on the architecture, look at the house you see around the Mediterranean, small windowswith blinds, , porch to get more shadow, large wall, sometimes inner courtyard.

It will

Get a teacher, it really helps. My teacher has small group class, which IMO are the best bang for your bucks, 2-3 students make the class cheaper than one while letting you time to play. Then as intermediate you can have bob plays the chords and Alice the melody which is great.

With 2 weeks of self practices, don't expect to play anything properly. It's called being a beginner, it's normal. At your level focus on switching open chords with a metronome (slow, like 40 bpm)

Easiest song I know would be come as you are by nirvana, usually the first new guitarists learn. Then here comes your man by pixies may be achievable(ospecially if you can play chords) then anything pop punk (the offspring) is super si le but may be fun r next year

Not really "food porn", I had deep dish when travelling to the US, not necessarily that bad, but definitely not a pizza.

But being high make them incredibly dangerous for other road users. If a normal car hits you, you break your leg, it sucks, but within a month you'd walk on crutches and within 6 month you'd be fine. A SUV hitting a pedestrian or a cyclist will break their pelvis or even their back which has a harder recovery and long lasting consequences.

These stuff should be banned

Paraglider pilot here, so I landed among the cow my fair share of times.

Cows are curious but shy, if you walk slowly they might come to have a look, if they get too close, something like clapping your hands is enough to have them running away. However, if the farmer didn't took the veals the yet, they can be pretty agressive to protect their kids, in that case forgot what I said about "clapping your hand" and stay away from the herd. Note also that bull are less shy than cow.

CVs are supposed to be at least 2-3 pages

Where is it the case ? I always heard CV are expected to be kept short, and stay on one page unless you're one of these senior experts with a crazy experience. A young graduate sending a 2-3 page CV sounds at minimum pretentious and would go direct to the garbage.

Now, it seems that "Not being able to find a job" is a great reason to pursue further education.

I might get down voted, but even for software dev, not all jobs can be done remotely. Software may need to interact with hardware, which requires to be on site. I am all in for hybrid or remote work, but totally see why some jobs require to be "on site"

Something worth repeating is that transistors are a direct application of quantum mechanics. Quantum physics isn't a metaphysical thing about half dead cats and working only on a few ultra cold atoms. If you want to explain how a piece of silicium can be conductive or insulating depending on it's polarisation you need... Quantum physics.

Is coralline supposed to be "kid friendly"? It's one of the few books I wasn't comfortable reading in alone in the dark, no way I let a kid read that

The minimum threshold is tricky. Sometimes due to alliance or political dynamic, a party/list struggle to reach 5%. But banning them from running again seems aggressive. An election even lost without any seat nor a public payment of the campaign fee, is a chance for a party to be heard and put back some issues in the debate. Look at the green who often do low score, but sometimes manage to win

Renters rights legislation with enough teeth to make present and perspective landlords, both corporate and individual, think twice before not taking care of a property as though they lived there? (

Isn't it mostly an issue on the US side of the pond (and in other third worlds countries). I believe that most European countries have minimum standards regarding renter right, it's not perfect (and reality is that changing a furnace takes weeks). But every time I read about US feel likes dystopia.

I am talking about having sunlight up to 22-23 in the evening, Unfortunately, I don't live anymore in a place with many days above 40. (Which to be fair are great as a kid when you spend the afternoon chilling near the river, but sucks when you're adult and stuck in an office)

*Feel like there is tho possibility to do crazy stuff, but I kept it "simple" and common

(Edit formatting)

In Summer, I use "weight lifting fingerless gloves", it's very similar from "cycling fingerless gloves" but half of the price. In winter, I use "light" outdoor gloves.

From a European perspective (I use car/bicycle/train/longboard), a few pointers rather than a pro-con/list

• The more people use a bicycle, even casually, The more it put pressures on local politician to do something
• For short distances (<5km) in town, it's faster than the car
• Gloves are more important than helmet, on the couple of fall I got, gloves protected my hands, while my head didn't hit. However, if you're in a severe accident a helmet can make the difference so I still recommend one.
• Beware of your clothe, if you wear black, at night, without lights, you call for problem, and I can see how even good faith motorists can hit you.
• Paint isn't infrastructure but at least remind the motorists that you have the right to be there. I can see how the mayor call the infrastructure director and ask them for bike lane without any budget, but it sucks
• Be a bit agressive, and look for eye-contact before passing between car, keep distance from parked car, they can open a door, If you don't think a car can pass you with a safe distance (small urban streets) stay in the middle of the road, and stop to the side when you can to let the car pass you.
• A backpack, or bike pack helps a lot carrying groceries, not really an excuse
• The problem isn't that much the winter (unless you live on a really cold place) but the rain, good clothe can help, but still.

Summer

• No need for rain-clothe, or warm clothe
• Outdoor activities are possible without damaging the gear due to the humidity, and if you like water even outdoor swim became possible
• Having sunlight up to 22 or even 23 is pretty great, you can have a late dinner outdoor, or get some beers in the parks with your friends. It's also safer to come back home, especially if you ride a bicycle or are a woman.
• Many people are in holidays, so things are quieter
