I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack. Mostly because I know I’m inevitably going to lose my headphones, forget to charge them, forget them in my trouser pockets that will go in the wash. The latter has happened at least a couple of times with my current headphones and they still work just fine. Try that with your Bluetooth pair and let me know how it goes.

There was a Starbucks trend where they added olive oil to their coffees and it was giving customers the mega liqui-shits. Does that count?

Coffee mixology is also becoming a thing now. I imagine some crazy combos have or might come out of that.

Is it him tweeting or someone posing as him?

This bittern erasure will not stand! Not only are they also mostly neck:

They’re also fucking hilarious:

British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd’s/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it’s mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!

Wow how could I forget Common Side Effects?? I’m happy it’s getting a second season but sad Scavengers Reign wasn’t so lucky :( something tells me CSE is going to hit mainstream popularity though.

Get ready for a little existential crisis after watching Pantheon (at least that’s what happened to me). I loved it!

Scavenger’s Reign and Pantheon

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:

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.

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.

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.
