I don’t really care about those but I guess the 16 mini wasn’t announced?

FFS, us 13 mini users only wanted that, hoping that maybe the mini will be made every x iPhone generation. Apparently it won’t be every 3 generations.

C’est la première image que tu vois d’une personne, en l’occurrence le premier ministre donc l’image du pays. Notamment à l’étranger où les gens ne vont pas connaître les détails de la politique française mais seulement les photos/vidéos dans les médias (exemple inversé, c’est quoi l’image des français sur le Canada en voyant Trudeau, ou l’Espagne en voyant Sanchez ?)

Et c’est important l’image, surtout en politique.

C’est con et cliché mais c’est comme ça que fonctionne l’humain, et là ce mec ressemble au sempiternel vieux riche blanc de droite que tu retrouves dans la politique de chaque pays. Il est peut être très doué ou très cool, mais au premier contact il donne l’image du vieux riche qui dit aux jeunes d’arrêter d’aller au Starbucks pour avoir les moyens d’être propriétaire.

En voyant sa photo mon cerveau a activé 3 liens:

  • Vieux (✅, il a 73 ans)
  • Politique des années 80 (✅, il a été UDR, UMP etc)
  • Probablement un peu raciste (ça à l’air de se vérifier vu les articles que le lis sur lui et ses votes).

Pour de vrai ?

Il a choisi un vieux droitard grisonant au lieu d’une jolie femme de gauche ?!

Putain, le président vous chie dans la bouche tellement fort, j’espère que vous allez tout cramer.

From the forum in my comment below.

Yup, they used it, only for paratroopers but they had some.

Terrot 500 RGSTA ?

Peugeot 175 D4 ?

From this forum (en français bien sûr). It speak about motorbike since 1950, so that would make sense with Indochine and I think I can recognise some of the models from archive photos. It says that before 1950, French army used a bunch of brands like BMW, Harley, Triumph, Gnome et Rhone and others from 1930 and WWII, but from 1950 and onwards they tried to harmonise the material and the list is on the forum.

Otherwise, your best bet would be searching for CEFEO material (corps expéditionnaire français en Extrême-Orient) as it was the more involved in the war.

There is a book about material used in this war but I don’t know if they wrote anything about motorbikes.

The forum from the first link seems to be a good source of information tho.

Feldup, the French version of scare theater or other channels like that.

If it is really noisy or I need to sleep during the day (working shifts), waves sound from my Ozlo sleepbuds.

My ex wife was going to quit her job. She had the papers printed in her purse, the conversation ongoing in her head. She is the right-hand of the boss, keeping the company afloat and they have a friendly relationship, like knowing each others family around Christmas dinner ect.

Her boss asked her out at lunch to talk outside of the office in a nicer environment. She took the opportunity to give her resignation at the same time but first she had to listen to what her boss wanted to say.

He told her that he's been very lately diagnosed with throat cancer, too late to do anything about it. Doctors gave him 6 month to live. He then started to cry.

Her resignation papers stayed in her purse that day...

Well his 18 years old daughter died onboard that day, much like the kid in the titanic submarine. Only her mother survived. Maybe she was a little rich brat, maybe she would have become a world savior, who knows.

I’m all for eating the rich, but not before they are at least 45 years old, 18 is just sad.

Shit, I forgot about that expression

Navy shower + one of those droplets fractioning shower head and you’re golden.

Bonus point: It feels like showering in a Star Trek spaceship.

As an atheist I agree, but I don’t think it as anything to do with religion.

It’s all about faith, in the sense of a strong belief in something. Be it a god, aliens, a spaghetti monster or just yourself.

Religion does provide that yes, their daily beliefs become auto suggestions that their subconscious brain accepts, making mental health and life easier.

But anyone can achieve the same outside of religions.

Thanks, here are some figures about our Jet d'Eau and a not so fun fact:

At 200km/h and 140m high, one day a dude tried to kiss it. He was denied any love, felt down near the base, tried to hug the Jet d'Eau (again yes...). Was sent into orbit and finished into the lake where police fished him up.

He did survive, but probably not his last brain cells.

That thing is powerful, when you stand below it you are soaked to the bones by fresh lake water in seconds. At this exact time (24 August 14h30 utc) you can see people pressing below it cause it is 32°C right now in Geneva)
