I sold it at this amount when I saw offers for the same RAM model around 60€. I don’t get why they would be so much lower than many other offers though.

I just sold 2x8Gb of G.Skill DDR4 RAM for only 60€ so I guess I was way below market. I don’t really mind because I mostly wanted to get rid of it and help someone get cheaper RAM in doing so. Hopefully the buyer won’t try to speculate to make a lot of money off of someone else…

Generally if I can’t find the mosquito that’s buzzing around me at nught I drag an arm above the sheets like: “Here, land on this and do your thing quietly!”. Although it’s not ideal regarding the disease they transmit…

Lol I’m French but when I first read this I thought this was about some polish thing because of the spelling

Maybe your teacher uses vous not as a formal address to one student but rather to speak to the whole class? Or he/she respects some students more than others and uses vous to talk to them, in spite of the age difference.

In French/France I use the formal vous when talking to strangers or customers. Here people generally switch pretty quickly to the informal tu when they get to know each other (at my first day at work with my colleagues and boss). But I’m quite an oddball since I use the formal address even for kids, which no one does. Also my neighbor was a bit annoyed at me for continuing to say vous to her after having met her one month ago. It can make people feel old.

Isn’t that some sort of low battery warning? If so, it might stop on its on in a few weeks, worse case scenario.

I think I heard once that Romans mixed wine with salted water. So taht could be a bit of an aquired taste. Or a banger alcoholic soy sauce…

Columbus and After Yang by Kogonada. These are such beautiful, contemplative films.

The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?

I think it’s a pun on the famous press article, titled “J’accuse” (“I accuse” as in I accuse you of doing something), writty by renown author Emile Zola in 1898. In it he took a stand to defend Alfred Dreyfus, a french officer wrongly accused of spying for Germany because he was jewish. But “J’accuse” really doesn’t sound like jacuzzi in French though…

About the ethics of murder or other crimes in alternate universes : I actually pondered this quite a bit before. Imagine a world where accessing parallel realities is accessible to everyone (wether it be time traveling or “booking” a divergent universe to do as you wish). Well it could be morally accepted that it’s an OK means of stress relief to insult, vandalize, harm, kill torture in these realities (as long as you behave in the main reality). My conclusion is that hurting people is wrong, even if you can revert the timeline or delete the universe as if you hadn’t done anything. Hurting people in the moment is wrong even if there are no consequences on the world around you, because there is still a lasting change on yourself.

Now she’s cursed to like smelly cheese and hate on railroad workers, poor lady…

It’s not online but at my usual bar I often get into arguments with a monarchist guy and a free-market/deregulation dude. They often tell me they’ll someday manage to make me “take the red pill”. It’s kind of annoying for them to disregard my views like that. That’s why I don’t actively try to change theirs.

You’ve got a few episodes of Love Death and Robots that really have that twilight Zone feel (and some are set in space!). That’s also the case for the pacman episode of Secret Level. This one gave me chills down my spine. 😅

Nerdwriter once made a video about how Passengers could have been a horror/thriller (and a better movie) if it had been told through the point of view of Jennifer Lawrence instead of Chris Pratt’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU

True. I use Arch btw.

Well, think of WHO as the 'least bad source of information", not the absolute truth provider. To get closer to the truth, you’d need to do a bit of journalist work: do a background check on the scientists involved (what have they published? Is their work respected by their peers? Have they been approached by lobbies?) and compare different sources (for instance, look at what the Robert Koch Institut in Germany and the Institut Pasteur in France have to say). But, to do that you might need to speak several languages, but above all, you would need a lot of time for research. So checking the most reliable source is generally the practical course of action for most people.

You should take everything you hear on the internet with a grain of salt (including here). You should really trust the guidelines of your country’s health ministry or the WHO. Then again, the WHO has said some crazy shit in the past…

My dream is to start a co-op bicycle shop/worshop once I finish my mechanic traineeship. But the other trainees don’t seem to share my vision, they only care about making lots of money…
