I started a while ago when I was young with some hand-copied extract from AD&D2 copied from the notes of my friends who copied-it on photocopies from his friend with tons of house rule/homebrew at each copy.

Then, played a lot Warhammer FRPG, and finally got some money to buy Nightprowler a french game about thieves in a large city.

No idea how law works where you are. But having a folding table might require some different licencing compared to just standing up and giving pamphlet which in democratic countries is a right.

J'éspère que tous les gens impliqués dans le transport ont les assurances qui vont bien. Et je sais même pas comment un·e chef·fe de projet annonce ça aux gens qui étaient dans les starting plot pour installer le truc et à toute la chaine corporate par dessus.

On this regards, I think that the french doctrine since De Gaulle is right. US never protected Europe but their own interest (in Europe) (and to be fair, you could say the same about any country).

And indeed, I've been hearing all my life about the need for an European army, and nothing as really moved, and it's a pitty.

2-3 month unemployed, is the opportunity to take a break, move with some personal projects and take the time to find a nice job. Also it's typically covered by both severance pay you got from your previous job and unemployment insurance. So it's not big deal financially speaking (while resigning from a job you hate would make you loose your unemployement rights)

In civil aviation the 737 Max is just a 737 with a newer engine. Still requested a lot of re-design on Boeing side, and ended-up with the whole MCAS scandal.

I really doubt that you can just mount a M88 on a Grippen without a huge retrofit project. Is that possible ? May-be. Is it gonna be cheap ? Nope

Focus on university course over "private certication" which are often full of bullshit and paid by companies anyway. The foundation you learn is what stays valid no matter what's the technique you use.

To give a word on agile, it's about having shorter development cycles and more intermediate release which are used by actual users. It works well in prototyping phase (when you have proper tools) and in software. However, many PM end-up making agile heavier more complicated/heavy than regular cycle with daily stand-up meeting and boards full of post-it. I would advise going in these type of projects without some technical background.

Also note that while project management looks cool (and is a way to grow your carrer quickly) it's a field where you deal with a lot of bullshit out of your control. A person is sick for the week ? How do your re-organize the project ? A truck delivering a critical part has an accident ? How do you deal with it The certification lab asks finds that your cable at the European fire safety norm but not the US ones (or the other way around ? ) adding two month delay to change everything ? How do you announce the customer that the final delivery is postponed due to some paperwork ? You often end-up sitting between the engineer knowing what needs to be done, the upper management cutting down the budget and the customer wanting more. So not a job for everyone

En fait, tu as quasiment répondu à la question, rajouter dans les gare parisiennes quelques portiques avec lecteur de QR code c'est un cout négligeable.

Et à l'heure du sang contact des lecteurs de carte de payement c'est pas non plus une techno rare. Et ça casse pas la rétro-compatiblité avec les centaines de ticket de métro que Papy a acheté dans les année 80 quand il allait encore à Paris

I still don't get how is Telsa 20 times bigger than Toyota.

It's great thanks to Musk, Telsa could become a viable auto maker which in the current industrial context is already amazing, especially with production in place with expensive labour (Which is a great thing too)

However, it's not like other auto manufacturer would disappear from the market and it seems easier to add an electric system over an existing basis than to build a new car from scratch, let alone Chinese trying to enter the global market (and BYD is growing quickly in Europe) and Indian which will do the same at the point.

So not really a surprise that Tesla sales start to drop, especially when adding that nazi did good car isn't a reason to support nazi

Using Flux Schnell

In a post apocalyptic future, nature took over a large city, tree grows among few empty wrecked car. A magnificent deer crosses the street in the middle of ruined building. The street pavement is almost covered by mosh and grass. The picture somehow feels like part of the Chernobyl zone.

The scene occurs under a nice summer sky
