This isn’t quite right. People in Paris are equal opportunities assholes. There are higher concentrations of xenophobes outside of the big cities.

It’s not about money, it’s about power and control.

This is not terribly unusual for a municipal referendum vote on Paris. The SUV vote had just under 6% turnout, the electric scooter vote had about 7.5%.

I bet these were already made before the question was even posted. If you’re not constantly making crêpes, can you even call yourself French?

I’ve saved a few recipes over time, here are my favourites:

For legs/drumsticks: https://natashaskitchen.com/baked-chicken-legs-with-garlic-and-dijon/

I have a couple of tips to improve on pretty much any marinade recipe:

• Lemon/lime juice: Omit if you’re marinating for more than 1h and replace instead with zest. The acid will cook the meat and the exterior will be drier.

• Brine: I usually wet brine before in a water+ salt mixture (1 Tbsp kosher salt/1 cup water, NOT table salt) for 1h for chicken breast, 2h for thighs/legs, then marinade. If you do this, don’t add salt to your marinade. Do not do this if your marinade recipe calls for soy sauce or anything equally salty.

Also if you want to try fried chicken without deep frying I suggest brining some skin on thighs/legs then trying the following recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/southern-oven-fried-chicken-3058647

It’s not exactly healthier but it is pretty tasty. It’s even better of you can use ghee instead of butter but that might be harder to get your hands on.

The cruelty is the point. They think trans individuals are untermensch. Remember folks that to them, if it’s destroying trans lives, it is not a bug. It’s a feature.

I think the fundamental difference between that experiment and the “suicide capsules” vs the death penalty is that in the *former the people going into it are doing so willingly. I imagine people undergoing the same procedure involuntarily will probably resist, hold their breath, panic, do whatever they can to sabotage the process, etc. The reason this method is rarely used to euthanise pets is precisely because of this - the animals get stressed (as many often do at the vet where they need to be for the procedure) panic, react, and it takes way longer than it should as a result.

Edit: edited for clarity

If you’re in France there’s the Carte Bancaire.

Edit: I’ve just looked into Revolut and they’re UK based with operations throughout Europe, so they might be an alternative for online payments across borders.

Ah that actually does make sense!

Yeah me too I thought it was weird then I saw the name. Still think it’s weird though!

This channel is a mirror of that subreddit. I’m not sure what the point is though, so we can read reddit comments without visiting the site?

Hey it doesn’t hurt to ask, hopefully if they don’t produce the earplugs they might be able to tell you where to go. Good luck!!

I’m not sure but I doubt it. They inject some silicone into your ears with something that looks like a caulking gun, then the mold gets sent off to make the earplugs, which were then mailed to me. Are there places around you that sell hearing aids? They might sell those there. If it’s any help I’m in France, so it’s definitely possible to get them made in Europe.

The only thing I’ve found that works well for me are custom earplugs. The silicone ones that look like this:

They were expensive (about €100 for the pair), and I had to go to an audiologist to get them made. I’ve had mine for over 5 years now and can honestly say they have saved my sanity. I live next to a loud street and it was impossible to sleep without them.

Gorak the Destroyer

Parc Astérix, especially if you like rollercoasters. There are fast pass bundle options for a lot of the main rides as well. Halloween is also a great time to go, they have a bunch of great haunted houses and the park is open after hours.

You can’t tell us this story and not tell us how it ends!

I don’t know about the physics part, but the picture is taken from this video:

I highly recommend this channel, they have a bunch of funny videos with animal facts.

(Another thing to watch out for is Yugioh! - my son is OBSESSED with the card game and it’s bankrupting us!!! 😆 )

Ha, we have the same issue but with Magic the Gathering. You’ll definitely want to keep your son away from MtG if you want to avoid bankruptcy 😭
