This community is related to basically anything negative regarding cars. As such road rage is very much qualified, as it's a very much car-induced problem, both directly (as in people in cars are implicated) and more indirectly (as in car-first infrastructure is bad for everybody involved, including cars, and pushes for this sort of things to keep happening)

It should, but the point I think you're missing is that, even in this VERY light version purposefully calculated so that those ultra rich households still increase in wealth with the tax, just a little slower, it was heavily criticized in virtually every media, and still was not voted by the lawmakers. Something more drastic than this as you and a lot suggest would not even have a chance at being discussed on...

If I recall correctly, the main problem with nitrogen execution (apart from the death penalty itself) is that they do it very badly, as in they don't vent the CO2 gas, and the inmate painfully suffocates

On s'est fait un one-shot sur Mothership hier, super sympa comme généralement ! J'avais choisi un scenar plus prompt à la confrontation que d'habitude où l'ambiance tient plutôt du survival horror, mais ça a bien pris. Mention speciale à la fin, les joueu.r.se.s décident de trahir leur employeur et de se barrer sans finir la mission en volant la navette qui les a amené, et se font immédiatement exploser par les pilotes de celle-ci, qui monitoraient leur flux bodycam (ils en étaient informés, et avaient bien vite oublié).

Bref, super session qui me hype pour la campagne qu'on commencera prochainement !

Depends on the scale. Really tiny microorganism living in the air do not fly, as in they have no active mecanism to physically interact with their environment to move in any way. They just follow the air currents at seemingly random (the exact word is brownian), kinf of like particles of dust that you see in a ray of light. It is not defined as flying and not studied as such

Yeah I understood after, hence my very fast edit to add the last sentence about flies existing only from around 245 my

Insects fly the same as birds and aeroplanes do, they create air flow around a rounded wing edge, wich causes the air upward of the wing to flow faster than the air under, thus creating a lifting force. And to answer origins, to our knowledge insects were by far the first living flying things, around 300 million years ago with dragonfly relatives. And the group including flies (diptera) came much later, around 240 million years ago !

Why are you still trying to get people say that street racing is OK ? You tried several times, framed the question many ways, and are reduced to comparing it to another terrible selfish behaviour to try and have a smidgen of validation... That's kind of sad actually, when you ask questions, you should have the courage to face any answer, not just the one you wished for, and respect that

Boy have I the thing for you ! Duralex is a french born and french produced brand of glassware, including storage containers that are at least freezer and dishwasher safe, not sure about oven. Bonus point, the company is now owned by the workers themselves, so even more reason to support them !

Hope this corresponds to your request

Comme d'habitude, trop peu, trop tard, et à côté de la plaque dans pas mal de cas. Le procédé officiel d'enrichissement de la langue est vraiment à revoir fondamentalement, pour le moment c'est une perte sèche de moyens et de ressources.

 

Sarcosuchus was one of the largest crocodylomorph to ever live, around 110 million years ago. This incredible specimen is exposed in Paris, at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, in the Paleontology gallery. Some bones are artificial and can be recognized by the uniform grey color (like most of the limbs), but a lot of other are directly from the specimen, like almost all of the skull ! Picture from Wikipedia, by Shadowgate from Novara, ITALY

 

As the start of this community, why not learn about the group including all extant crocodiles ?
