To be fair, VW is in it mainly because of Diesel gate and the several billions they owe because of it, but yeah as a consequence they also severely lack innovation especially in EVs

My guess would be better approximation as you avoid a "fluke", as 8 second is a very short time where nothing could easily happen even with crickets being present

Pricetag sets expectations, simple as that. It is documented that no matter the product, people have more trust in a more expensive product than a cheaper one, even if they are actually identical. And thus, people also rightfully expect more of a more expensive product. Let's talk about cars for example : if I buy an old overused small one just to get from point A to point B, I'll be absolutely satisfied if I paid a few hundred bucks, and absolutely not if I paid a few thousands.

Same with games, if I have a small indie game entertain me somewhat for a few hours, I'll be super okay if it cost me a few bucks, and super not ok if it cost me 60 or 80 euros. The intrinsic quality may not change, but that was never what was discussed in the first place.

Seconding ready or not, had an absolute blast with it, both solo and coop !

Tout à fait d'accord sur ce dernier point, d'ailleurs je pense que ça explique pourquoi l'infox a circulé aussi vite, elle était d'autant plus crédible que très peu de monde (personne dans mon entourage pourtant très francilien) était au fait de cette réglementation, et que beaucoup ont donc pu la croire réellement nouvelle.

Je partage ce ressenti, j'utilise différentes lignes de transports sur Paris et l'île de France de manière quotidienne depuis maintenant 6 ans (discontinus cumulés).

Les gros bagages peuvent évidemment être pénibles, par exemple dans des lignes très fréquentées en heures de pointe (coucou la 6 à 18h), mais c'est normal, les voyageurs doivent transiter vers leurs destinations ou leurs correspondances, c'est le but des transports publics. Et instaurer des réglementations d'heures de pointes n'y changerait je pense pas grand chose tout en introduisant plus de confusion, avec le malus d'envoyer des usagers vers d'autres solutions comme les taxis ou VTC, qui deviennent seuls à même de transporter ces bagages supérieurs aux normes.

Autant pour moi, je dois reconnaître n'avoir lu que des sources secondaires. Merci de la rectification ! Ça reste cependant aberrant de ne pas s'aligner par exemple sur les règles de la SNCF, qui permet un bagage principal de 90x70x50 cm max.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (12 children)

Au delà de l'infox qui est en effet dommageable, la règle en elle-même est ce qui pose vraiment question, et à raison. Le fait que n'importe quel bagage supérieur à une valise cabine soit hors-norme dans le moyen de transport le plus adapté lors des correspondances entre gares doit être au minimum discuté

Oh yeah, the US and the one country next to them, whom they exported all their norms and culture to should definitely be a standard for the entire world, aye?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Actually, literally the entire world excepted the US does call them "United States of America", if not only "United States", with traductions of those. The French use "États-Unis", often not specifying America, as do the Spanish speaking world with "Estados unidos". And, yeah, we often just say "Germany", 'cause Germany doesn't try to appropriately the name for the entirety of the continent they sit on, like that one weirdo country does.

My two cents are the following : avoid irritation as much as you can. This means doing as few passes as you can, if possible shaving somewhat less often, and/or shave less close to the skin, for exemple using an electric trimmer. You should wash beforehand using hot water, and afterwards using cold water, and then dry before moisturising. I personally use and beeswax and olive oil based cream but a lot of products will do the trick. Remember that every skin is different, and sometimes, you can do everything right and still have symptoms, so you should adjust your shaving habits to accommodate those

While i agree with the general thing, I also truly think reality is more nuanced. I used to be a high-school teacher, and a lot of those kids just yearn for sincere socialising opportunities in general, more than celebrity success (even if some do also have that goal)

 

Hi everyone, I hope this community will help me. I recently got a new PC, and was excited to try a few games on it. My setup is a MSI katana 17 B13VGK, with a RTX4070, i7 13620H, and 32Go RAM. By my understanding, I should be able to run this with maxed out settings in 1080p without any issue, when I tried RDR2, I was barely getting 10 fps mean on the performance test. The game is set to my dedicated GPU and not the integrated one, and any tweaks I tried (deleting pipeline files) did not change anything.

If you have any ideas, I'm open to anything that could help me enjoy this game ! Thanks in advance

 

Sarcosuchus was one of the largest crocodylomorph to ever live, around 110 million years ago. This incredible specimen is exposed in Paris, at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, in the Paleontology gallery. Some bones are artificial and can be recognized by the uniform grey color (like most of the limbs), but a lot of other are directly from the specimen, like almost all of the skull ! Picture from Wikipedia, by Shadowgate from Novara, ITALY

 

As the start of this community, why not learn about the group including all extant crocodiles ?
