Yeah and iirc there have been some acts of sabotage in Russia that could have been carried out by actual insurgents, but as far as we know this one was Ukrainian special forces
It's usually a constant (or several ones with varying degrees of accuracy and size)
Yeah my boomer dad (materials scientist in the civilian nuclear sector) disagrees. He's been working from home (and from vacations sometimes...) at least a few days a week for quite a while now, and his old boss was apparently saying that they were going to need to hire 3 people to replace him when he eventually retires.
FWIW I also know some elder millennials who are against it, but I've seen how they run their business and let's just say I wouldn't take advice from them.
All I can find is that the costs followed inflation as expected. And, yeah there were some delays but getting full sovereignty over the construction of your military submarines at the end of the contract is kind of a fucking amazing deal (because that was the end goal there, the transfer of technologies, including state of the art, silent non-nuclear propulsion and various other top secret shit, so Australia could ultimately build their own subs "with total sovereignty", according to the deal). I see zero mention of the terms of the contract changing after its signing apart from that.
And if you think that's bad I've got some news for you about the delays and costs of that AUKUS thing...
Edit : Also I doubt the next prime minister would have paid us $555 millions for breaking the contract if we were in the wrong here ?
Edit 2 : while researching the edit above, I found out that the AUKUS subs are nuclear powered ?? When a big part of the original deal was that Australia wanted non nuclear subs (All the ones we have in France are nuclear powered, so surely it would have been a lot easier to make one). Nah I'm sorry, you played yourselves and now you're mad at us somehow ?
There actually was a nice épicerie owned and operated by an Arab guy called Mohamed near where I used to live, and he called it "Momoprix". It's still there but he got sued by monoprix so now I think it's "chez momo"
They must have been talking about "calice" or "ciboire", which is not quite right. As far as I know most of the vocabulary they describe comes from some kind of defiance against catholicism and is about holy stuff (calice, ciboire, ostie...), which is quite funny
Is that AI ? I can't find the author's credit, images look ai generated, and the text very well could be. Also that last paragraph...
Maybe it's just like a memory foam mattress after a while
Québécois : le dépanneur
Français de France^© : l'arabe du coin (typically, the ridiculously small and dense convenience stores that are pretty much always open have been run by people with Arab origins). Or we just call them "épicerie" if we don't want to sound casually racist
French people aren't fun (source: am french). The québécois accent is awesome and I love their colloquialisms !
Just in time for my new nvme drive so I can fully segregate windows and Linux after that mf broke my install again
