We got them in France too.

Seem like yours is hasty conclusion and nasty personality, but whom am I to judge?

Add France to the list (“Boudin Noir”, which is a blood based sausage).

Good question.

I suppose there is a reason, maybe to avoid the earlier plastic clips which tended to break (my FP5, now owned by my father, had 2 broken in about 2 yeard of use).

Moreover it could improve the water resistance reliability, by making sure it doesn’t open in case of a shock (my FP5 tended to open, with the battery flying away, every time it fell).

And maybe, just as a skill check. If you cannot open the rear plate, you cannot remove anything inside (the battery is screwed too). So you need your torx screwdriver anyway 😆.

Up until the FP5. The FP6 needs a torx screwdriver to remove the battery (which is still better that 99% of smartphones which are simply glued).

Chad is more a Russian vassal state, which explains that decision.

French Press. It was my grandmother’s, kept it after she died.

The brand, Melior, was bought by Bodum in 1991, and all French Press production went under the Bodum brand (the old Melior model became what is now known as the “Chambord” line), so it is at least 35 years old, possibly older.

I contacted Bodum to know if they could give me an approximate age, but they couldn’t (or didn’t want to bother searching). All I know it is a version with Pyrex glass, which may help a knowledgeable person to more precisely date it, but I kinda put my curiosity on pause for the time being.

Other than that, some of my grandfather’s vinyls are quite old too (at least one of them is from the 80’s), and I got some 20+ yo cassettes, some old mixtapes (back when mixtapes where actual tapes 😆).

I have an old Caban which is probably at least 40 years old (was my grandfather’s, once again).

Oh, and some kitchen tools made in West Germany 😆.

Of so, I’d advice you to try to work on how you express yourself.

Expressed like you did, you sound more like you flatly reject any criticism instead of admiting both are valid notation.

That’s kinda how you earned that flair from me. I’m not gonna blame you, I have been like that for a long time, and realized how damaging to my relationships it was. Not everyone is ready at all time to change their mind, even when I know I’m right with number to back my argument.
Gently reminding them they may be wrong instead of antagonizing them often have way better result.
Got friends out of toxic relationships that way. I don’t like to intervene in other people love life, but when ypu see friends suffer, you sometimes have to act.

From your very own link :

So before bringing a Wikipedia page as an authoritative argument, try at least to read it.

Sush, don’t argue with the fun police.

Is that a Jeedom (edit: for the uninitiated, a pretty rare HA software with similar graphs)

Any media who actually do fact check and follow a journalistic ethic is good.

BBC became controversial because it did not call the Gaza genocide what it is, but its etics guidline is not to judge and only report what it can verify (and clearly say when it cannot). So if I strongly disagree with them, at least I can understand why.

RT, on the other hand, doesn’t bother with all that ethics. If that’s what Russia want you to believe, it represents it to its viewer as facts.

Too bad MH Wilds run like shit on the Deck. On the other hand, it works great on the Steam Machine. I suppose I’ll keep World as mobile MH then.

Yeah, a random youtube channel with 133 subs, that seem very partial and cite as source no other than Russia Secret Services.

Very convincing.

Source? RT I presume?

Deleting by “error” the windows partition, with of course no time to reinstall until at least a month.

By the time I came back to “reinstall”, he told me “No need, I got used to it.” .😆

Note : he had all his files on a NAS, so nothing of value was lost

Too late, changed all my family’s computers to Linux. Even my 70 years old dad, who learned to use computers with Windows 95, prefer it to Windows now 😆.

My methods may have been a bit underhanded, but it worked flawlessly 😆

I think we mostly agree on that.

Idealy feature or idea shouldn’t be copyrightable, but to acheive that we have to find ways to make sure those who work on those new featurea and idea can live decently.

If you work for years on something new, to see it immediately copied by someone who drown your product with cheaper copies, that’d kinda be disheartening for anyone.

What I think would be ideal would be a standard license fee. One cannot prevent other from copying that idea, but one has to pay a reasonable sum to the owner of the idea until the R&D costs are paid (maybe a bit more so it can grow and invest in costlier invention), after which it becomes public domain.

In all cases, credits are to be given to the inventor, a way or another.
