This is a full book and not just the cover for fun and giggles!

In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings. These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.

Working in the naturalist’s tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.

There are some of these pumps in France. It infuriates me. The sound is horrible.

Harry Plotter ?

What a foul

If it’s time spent, you just have to be French.

Thanks ! This blog is nuts. I love it.

1 Tb of source code ?! Is this really this long or are there all the assets too (musics, textures, 3D models…) ?

In the news, 5.000 years later : “Scientists warned that our mass extraction of hydrogen may produce global salinization, but no one wants to reduce its energy consumption.”

And there was r/gadget . Funny thing, I went from r/technology to r/gadget for the same reason : r/technology was 90% business news

From my experience, it depends on the instance. Sometimes, one instance of Piped will not work, but another will be OKish.

My kids don’t have a phone number and I would be glad we could use Signal.

I loved Edge when it was a browser.

Now it’s a trojan to make you use Microsoft services that you don’t want to use.

And that sounds like a much lower quality car.

It’s way more practical than a Tesla. Whatever, the Berlingo model now starts at 39.000€ (EV only). That’s twice the price I bought mine. My salary has not doubled in 10 years.

That’s… expensive ? The last car I bought new was 17.000€ (12 years ago, a Citroën Berlingo).

The model 3 in Europe is 43.000€.

The price of these cars gets me depressed.

My spouse is now mocking me because I giggled in front of a picture of ingredients. “Ooooh funny… ingredients… oh … oh … oh…”

No, that’s not that clear for the moment.

Let me explain the French case :

• Webedia is a big company that owns most of the famous French websites (jeuxvideo.com , etc.). All these websites have cookie walls with an alternative : a paid subsription. What they say, is that the website is now accessible with subscription only. However, if you accept cookies, you’ll get a discount (free access).
• The CNIL (a big French governemental entity) tried to forbid this. If someone reports a website, it’s for this entity to take action. There is no need to report Webedia, the CNIL knows already :-)
• The Conseil d’Etat (juridical entity of the French gov) said that “non”, it’s OK for Webedia to use such paywalls. The CNIL can’t forbid Webedia to use them.
• The CNIL asked the jusrists at the European level… here we are. We still don’t know.

Here is a French website where the CNIL explains this :

There are multiple French websites that do this. It is legal (otherwise these websites would not do this anymore, it’s been a while).
There is a popup asking you if you consent to get cookies (for advertisement). If you say “no”, it leads you to another popup with two choices :

• Change your decision and accept cookies
• Pay for a premium service without advertisements

Aviation is now mostly full automatic. On the otehr hand, there are tons of beacons to help it.

That’s a great idea to have these comments for the posterity.
To my lawyer in the future :

“Everything I could have wrote in reddit about pirating was a lie to get upvotes. Don’t take any of it seriously.”
