  If you have large pockets, I suppose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But US tourists spend two days each in London, Paris, Prague and Rome, and then they’ve seen all of Europe. Isn’t that how it works? Besides it’s not as if they’ve got extra vacation days anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And Montmartre, but that’s probably most of them (I live close to Montmartre).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The MD-450 Ouragan was a fairly good plane.

  Oh. Yeah. Right. Sure. Let’s say that.

  They usually sound much more “squeaky” than that though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shuwerin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is important information. Keep it on a laminated card in your wallet. You never know when it may come in handy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murderer of Palestinian-American boy sentenced to 53 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Netanyahu can do it to thousands and gets to dine at the White House, but you do it to just one and everybody clutches their pearls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Celebrity Inquiries Season 2 Episode 4⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one, and she rocks herself to sleep.

  You can connect the deck to your tv if you want a “console” experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Americans inspired them after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thumb, the misunderstood tentacle.
  An essay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨​Switzerland Unveils World’s First Operational Solar Railway Project​⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t they have something like capacitor banks at the charging station? They’re not charging vehicles nonstop after all. I’m not sure what the efficiency loss would be, electricity isn’t my forte, maybe it’s a stupid idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you understand how many people 350 million is? How did this worm ridden ball sack float to the top?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t either and I unfortunately recognise him. Although it’s still jarring whenever I hear him speak. I expect him to drop dead mid sentence. That perpetual death rattle is really strange. Like the movie’s longest death scene ever.
