Will anyone care about any kind of CG art ? Depressing.

Been like this since the 100 years war... Some tourism on the continent or else, then run back to the security of their island if any trouble. And spitting their British exceptionalism contempt across the channel and the rest at any occasion. Our best "friends".

Funny, watched this recently : https://youtu.be/zlxECtKID6Y

Was intended to Secundinus Biggus Dickus.

This displays well in Safari 15...

No idea what level of satisfaction it gives :)

But sh... sorry "cheat" is easier to remember, maybe.

Available via port too, with the option to download the community cheatsheets.

I think there is a kind of zapping effect with that. The internet is a constantly changing thing with informations constantly added, and our brain is rewarded with a bit of dopamine each time we find a new interesting stuff for us (even very small, and can be completely unconscious) . Not that we will keep our attention to the new found stuff very long, it’s just the fact of finding something new that becomes an unconscious reward, thus this endless zapping.

When peoples find annoying to be just saluted... strange times. But I'm an old fart...

When one knows the other dirty meaning of "pipe" in French, one can wonder if Magritte had a dirty sens of humour.

Funny thing... I went on their site (fr.matomo.org here in France) using Safari. All images are not displayed (? on each images). Tried on Firefox, displays the images fine... Checked what kind of images are these, all .webp ! :D They have improvements to do if they want to be "google free" themselves...

Done in 2018, on a PowerBook G4 Titanuim 1Ghz running Tiger and used Blender 2.56-beta PPC, Gimp 2.6.11 PPC (running in Apple's X11), the rendered 1024x1024 PNGs icons were then converted to Tiger compatible icns icons with Pic2Icon 1.3 . https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/replatinum

:D Corrected

This is old, but still quite interesting, John Stockwell gives some examples: https://youtu.be/NK1tfkESPVY

Developed by a billionaire ? I smell something more like a Elysium on earth, an ultra-rich ghetto with all the latest gadgets... With a big fence around for protecting from the plebeians when all starts falling appart elsewhere . But sure, inside they will be all equal.

Agree with Joe, I believe in Bigfoot, and each time I search for live Bigfoot vids I only get unconvincing crappy stuff... They hide something...

Yes, the reason for the engine position on the 737 Max is that newer hi bypass ratio jet engines takes a lot of place. As the original 737 was designed for flying with much smaller diameter P&W JT8D, it stands quite low on the ground with relatively short landing gear .

Thus, with newer and newer hi bypass engines , the engine pods had to be moved further up and front of the wing, which in turn changed the flight characteristics compare to the older versions. With the Max ,enough that it would have required client airlines to have to re-train their pilots on a new 737 flying differently than the original 737 they were trained for.

And here enters the infamous MCAS which was designed to keep the original 737 flight characteristics on the 737 Max, it was selling argument for the 737 Max, airlines buying it could have a « new » plane with state of the art economic engines, without having to pay for re-training their pilots. Not a total success…

Seems the gun is not quite smoking for both... Tittle of the first paper : "French plane constructor Airbus in spying probe"

Airbus is not a French Company, it's a European company. France and Germany States hold each 11% of the shares, while Spain as about 4%. So that is less than 30% in States ownership shares. The rest is privately owned free float. True the main production line and headquarters are in Toulouse, France, but that doesn't make it a "French Company". It's as much German than French, with some Spanish too... Tittle is completely misleading and incorrect.

Other paper is behind a paywall for me.

Interesting, you have a source on that please ?

Obscene in every sense of the word.

I think from the French Gov it's just a way to express how fed up they are with UK Gov Brexit policy. They very well know that English is now the predominant language, Macron is in fact the first French president speaking English so well in public. Long gone is the "francophonie" policy of the 80's, the number of French peoples speaking English have increased considerably in the last 15/20 years. I see no "worries" about French being less used from the French officials, more a give up, which is kind of sad. So this move is very political.

Are there other countries than Denmark speaking danish in the EU , or elsewhere ?

Maybe good to remember that 18 airlines had once placed orders for Concorde, with only the 2 national carriers flying it in service eventually. And that The Boeing 2707 was ordered by 27 airlines before the program being canceled…

Suspenders AND belt. Safety first.

"Faire la part des choses" is more like taking into account every parts of a problem before making a decision. literally, having each parts of a problem separated and judging advantages or disadvantages of each before making a decision. I also heard it said when someone was forced to take a decision knowing there would be bad consequences, as reassuring, like meaning "what ever one choose something bad AND something good comes from every decisions"...
