- Don't Delta have a duty to inform passengers that they need to dispose of apples on the plane and not carry them into the US? Should be right there on the packaging if nothing else. Seems pretty irresponsible to hand out stuff on a flight that could cause passengers to end up with massive fines. ...

Did they really need to use force and handcuffs? Wouldn't they be able to tell the "intruders" that "now you get out" (and escalate if that does not happen)? Another article says they asked and the two people allegedly refused. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/14/us/philadelphia-poli...

One can also find a few articles* from 2003 about that guy named Philippe Rivere who worked for Air France and made a joke about his shoes in New York. * alas, google insists that I am only interested in French language results such as this one . Of course it may have made the news here mostly becau...

In Daggerfall instead of savescumming for easy quests you could easily remove the files for bothersome quests. But then you would still savescum in case some bug would make the quest impossible.

In my view, such an age shouldn't be lower than the age for voting or buying alcohol.

The problem with that, is that it only works well if the group you're ridiculing has very little power or support. Lack of power is easy to ridicule, whether it's Nazis or a more worthwhile group. Basically, it's hard to laugh at torch marches when stuff actually gets torched at night (let alone in...

To be honest I actually did parse that phrase as a noun phrase made of two nouns that I would have to look up. Obviously it is some organisation responsible for handling disputes, which I assume to be legal ones.

I wouldn't know how to parse disputes panel.

Indeed, who would believe the river can go this high.

Incidentally, I am pretty sure this is taught in French high schools. Or was when I was there. Also what people have been taught and what they actually remember may differ (to be fair to British teachers).

For quite a few seconds I wondered if that could be a Watchmen reference. Also, see Monaco (and presumably many city states).

I watched FMA:B without having read the manga or watched the first series, and I didn't feel lost.

Has anyone caught Mary and the Witch's Flower yet? It is quite disappointing that Cineplex did not see fit to bring it to Canada. (Instead, for some baffling reason, we got the live-action Gintama movie.) Expected in late february in my country. As usual with anime, I don't know yet whether it will...

I buy a lot of frozen vegetables (not frozen meals); they are super cheap and already peeled and cut into pieces. That really helps making fairly healthy meals very quick and without having to go and buy things often.

Of course you would need a freezer.

This manga is quite simple indeed. We should not wonder if she likes him, but rather how she will make fun of him (or how wrong he will be). This is part of the cuteness, and quite often she does not even "tease" him; he just overthinks things and makes poor decisions.

Grop

Would you say it is good? I am intrigued but I can see it being utterly bad like making fun of fat people or whatever.

Very nice indeed ! For some reason that I can't explain (because these songs don't seem to be related at all - maybe just the rythm or something) it made me think of Revillos - Tell him.

Been listening to this punk rock group Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs and I thought it would be funny to link this clip based on American cartoons (although they probably didn't exactly pay for the right to use these pictures). Also I love how they represent Breton punks in trad dresses . The language is ...

I wouldn't know, but I just found this reddit post that covers season one (25 first episodes). When that first season ended, I considered reading the manga; however I disliked the art therefore I am willing to wait for the anime to continue (or not).

I think it makes sense, if they are going to do some horrific stuff, to do that from the beginning. It may suck to spend several hours watching a series, then finding out it is actually too much for you.

To be fair fair ( :wink: ) I let several days pass before I had something else to say and actually wrote that.

Is a tv show even framed like a movie these days? (I wouldn't know as I don't have a tv; generally from a few seconds of glancing at a tv it doesn't look good).

Given that it's introduced by someone who appears to be a native Frenchman, I can only assume that there was a certain amount of co-production involved. Also, for anyone who skipped the second half of the show's first episode, in addition to swapping the voice actors, they also subtitle the French ...

Can anyone explain Pop Team Epic? I watched, I laughed, I was mightily confused. I doubt there is much to explain. I have also read part of that manga, which is a series of four-panel gags with no sense of continuity between them. The anime seems to do a great job at making that interesting. In cas...

If that could work, it might make sense to give one of these magical dollars to everyone, before they even do any crime.

That might make sense if they didn't really know him, that they would let him have his talk. That person asks a few very personal questions and I didn't notice that.

I watched A Ghost Story today. It's fun times, indie movies come here with such a lag that I could download them instead of going to the theater. In this movie someone delivers a long speach to his drinking friends. I think this conversation would be impossible to have in real life. Someone drunk wo...

That was quite harsh. It is sort of interesting to point that in the middle ages women would be married against their will (or they would just agree because that would be necessary to their survival). And that it still happens in many countries. However that kind of content would belong in a horror ...

Today (or yesterday really, as it is late in my time zone) I watched À bout de souffle, a movie from 1960, with a friend. This movie is super sexist, like in your face sexism.

When I played Oblivion I would never sleep; staying lvl ~3 was much better than fighting strong mobs. However that was quite a failure at game designing.

In retrospect, I shouldn't have suggested it was dumb (pardon). I just wasn't really interested and I couldn't stand the humor. Every joke felt like I had heard it before.

I haven't watched The Last Airbender; it came to my knowledge when I was an adult and it was apparently too dumb for my demographics (I did see a few episodes before deciding that).

Morrowind is clearly my favorite TES game. But before it came out I spent a crazy time on Daggerfall.
