Don't worry, we'll sell the sub to Québec so they can sell them again to the rest of Canada.

So, The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m believing in that one as well and said it many times during the last decade, but I believe it will end like in the movie Civil War. Although I also believe the world will strive without the US, creating new green tech and be centered around Europe, Asia and LATAM being friends and trade partners.

Bans are for adults, you gets sent to your room.

!forumlibre@jlai.lu because I can say whatever stupid thing I want in my native language and everything is non-serious (as in no news, no politics, no wars, no nothing).

Air trafic controller (Europe, not FAA…)

It’s honestly a kind of dream job as I work around 2 weeks a month, have 7 weeks of paid vacation + I can call in "unfit to work" anytime with no question asked. We often work 2 to 4 hours less than the official time we are paid for. We get paid health cure and the job is not that hard or stressful when you are good at it (I’ve done it for 15 years, it’s like a second nature now).

The pay is very good, around 100k (€/$/chf, it’s basically the same) at entry level and around 220k after 20 years of experience. I’m at 150k for a 80% part time contract.

The only downsides are the working hours, 24h a day 7 days a week which gets tiring as you age. And that much money for not much work makes me lazy, not being at risk means I’m not making efforts to gets better. I dream of being an independent worker, working from home or anywhere in the world on my framework 13 by making creative work, but I’m not pushing hard for that dream as everything is ok with my life and job.

I know, that’s totally a "1st world problem" and I’m not complaining at all. It’s just that being too comfortable in something does not push you forward.

Some do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage).

Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go "below 120kt" with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 ! (I’d love to see a picture of that)

A French horror youtuber (Feldup) talked about it, saying the same thing as you (do not search for it, do not watch it).

But from his description what I understood is:

Tap for spoilerThe passenger was the wife, the driver the dad and behind them were the kids that you can hear crying and dad telling them not to watch.

Anyway, don’t watch it. I stopped scrolling on /b the day I saw a woman getting killed. Looking for this kind of stuff is bad and makes people feel nothing when confronted with human misery and horror, that’s not a skill you want in life.

I have a friend with a strong scouser accent (Liverpool). I discovered the day I met her that I won't be able to call myself fluent in English (proper, not simplified) until I manage every accents of the British Isles.

Oh boy, he’s going to learn where he is in 3, 2, 1…

Yeah, I’m happy to have my daily Sandy news.

Just get rid of the fuel stations. It’s ridiculous that vehicles owners should expect to refuel their cars anywhere but at home or at work

Most of their comics are NSFW so heads up before you go there digging for more :o
