I heard this 1000 times, together with “the two best moments in the life of a boat owner are the day you buy it, and the day you sell it”

I bought an old boat in Amsterdam (3000€), did some reparations (500€), replaced the engine (1500€), paid the local tax (600€ x 3years). I had fun with it. No regrets. Then I was moving back to my country, I couldn’t find a buyer… so I lowered the price to 1500€.

You were great, old boat. But not a great investment.

best answer. With H, you’d get a chocolatine.

and when iPhone 4 was released, Apple also explained it had the perfect size because you could reach any part of the screen with your thumb while holding it in your hand… but also, antennagate. Steve Jobs was full of crap.

Call me a hardcore Spotify fan boy: I paid for Spotify for 15 years, I loved it, I even applied to worked for them. The product was great and unmatched so as I didn’t care about the problems, so many problems. things were getting progressively more problematic but in the end, King Gizzard convinced me to quit. I don’t regret it a single minute. Fuck Spotify.

I love that he is telling something stupid, trying to validate it by using a fact that is probably the best way to prove how stupid it is.

stupid nazi-cowboy country. I’m tired of seeing my tv, cinema, internet… full of people with guns and shooting each others. Even your memes are problematic.

2005 was the best year: France had a hot and dry summer, so the grapes got a high concentration in sugars and tannins, which gave to most wines of that year an extreme deepness and complexity. Oh, I miss 2005 so much.

Americans referring to “…in the world” always mean “in USA”

if you ask the French, a biscuit is a kind of gâteau (cake) and mostly refer to dry biscuits. The etymology of Biscuit (bi = two, cuit = cooked), means that it would spend twice longer in the oven, hence its dryness. So, macarons are cakes, not biscuits, because they are not dry. BUT! there are many kinds of macarons and some more traditional are actually quite dry (example here: https://www.macaron-de-nancy.com/fr/92-le-macaron). So it depends which ones you’re thinking of.

prog purist here. Dream Theater? ewww

Rarely I see a French post so I have a look but it’s usually random news. French memes are so boring, half of them are about bakery and stuff.

I’m out for a bit. Need more wood.

TIL I’m a lot of thing vegan… also, not a vegan.

Let’s start saying “don’t kill anybody” to people are about to use their car.

There was this one time when I needed to replace a specific part of a dog bike trailer. I contacted the company: the creator of the trailer, who happened to live in my neighbourhood came to my place to give me a piece from the prototype he still had in his workshop. Shop local!

Tigers are big cats, hence they are like their little domestic cousins, lazy as fuck. I doubt tigers would enjoy having a job.
