I find it works 90% of the time. Which makes the 10% it doesn’t work annoying because I’m not used to declining cookies anymore 😅

For those wondering:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail for those wondering.

I miss that pleasure. Insomnia sucks. Going to sleep and staying asleep takes so much effort. Thanks for ruining my sleep, ME/CFS.

The first round of the Paris mayor election was today. And Emmanuel Gregoire came in first (34%); he is the successor to Hidalgo. There will be a runoff with him and Rachida Dati (26%) right-wing — who is explicitly running on undoing Hidalgo’s urbanist policy — and a macroniste and left wing candidate as well (they got more like 10-15% each).

So depending on who turns out second round and the vote share dynamics we will probably see more of this continuing :)

Yeah cold war logic was paranoid. Nuclear bunkers in essentially every building built during the cold war, highway segements were built with fighter jet landing capabilities. And yeah I believe many bridges have explosive “capabilities”.

The worst part is this “tradition” came out of a medieval flex by aristocrats.

Look here, I have fertile soil I don’t grow anything on near my manor (aka lawn). That’s how well I’m doing. My peasents are only barely starving.
