Wow how could I forget Common Side Effects?? I'm happy it's getting a second season but sad Scavengers Reign wasn't so lucky :( something tells me CSE is going to hit mainstream popularity though.

Get ready for a little existential crisis after watching Pantheon (at least that's what happened to me). I loved it!

Scavenger's Reign and Pantheon

This isn't quite right. People in Paris are equal opportunities assholes. There are higher concentrations of xenophobes outside of the big cities.

It's not about money, it's about power and control.

This is not terribly unusual for a municipal referendum vote on Paris. The SUV vote had just under 6% turnout, the electric scooter vote had about 7.5%.

I bet these were already made before the question was even posted. If you're not constantly making crêpes, can you even call yourself French?

I've saved a few recipes over time, here are my favourites:

For legs/drumsticks: https://natashaskitchen.com/baked-chicken-legs-with-garlic-and-dijon/

If I don't have time to marinade overnight: https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-chicken-marinade-recipe/

Easy crowd pleaser: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/perfectly-grilled-chicken-breasts.html

If you have tahini lying around: https://www.thechunkychef.com/tahini-marinated-chicken-buddha-bowl/

Fajitas: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chicken-fajitas.html

I have a couple of tips to improve on pretty much any marinade recipe:

  • Lemon/lime juice: Omit if you're marinating for more than 1h and replace instead with zest. The acid will cook the meat and the exterior will be drier.

  • Brine: I usually wet brine before in a water+ salt mixture (1 Tbsp kosher salt/1 cup water, NOT table salt) for 1h for chicken breast, 2h for thighs/legs, then marinade. If you do this, don't add salt to your marinade. Do not do this if your marinade recipe calls for soy sauce or anything equally salty.

Also if you want to try fried chicken without deep frying I suggest brining some skin on thighs/legs then trying the following recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/southern-oven-fried-chicken-3058647

It's not exactly healthier but it is pretty tasty. It's even better of you can use ghee instead of butter but that might be harder to get your hands on.

The cruelty is the point. They think trans individuals are untermensch. Remember folks that to them, if it's destroying trans lives, it is not a bug. It's a feature.

I think the fundamental difference between that experiment and the "suicide capsules" vs the death penalty is that in the *former the people going into it are doing so willingly. I imagine people undergoing the same procedure involuntarily will probably resist, hold their breath, panic, do whatever they can to sabotage the process, etc. The reason this method is rarely used to euthanise pets is precisely because of this - the animals get stressed (as many often do at the vet where they need to be for the procedure) panic, react, and it takes way longer than it should as a result.

If you're in France there's the Carte Bancaire.

Edit: I've just looked into Revolut and they're UK based with operations throughout Europe, so they might be an alternative for online payments across borders.

I'm not sure but I doubt it. They inject some silicone into your ears with something that looks like a caulking gun, then the mold gets sent off to make the earplugs, which were then mailed to me. Are there places around you that sell hearing aids? They might sell those there. If it's any help I'm in France, so it's definitely possible to get them made in Europe.

 

My son is starting to get into Warhammer and so far he's learned the mechanics of Age of Sigmar, but he still isn't sure what road to go down. Normally he'd go for whatever my brother in law is into (he introduced him to MTG, obviously the gateway drug) but he's not deep into Warhammer yet (BiL was gifted a Necromunda squad) so my son will have to figure it out for himself.

Assuming most people here picked 40k over Age of Sigmar, I'm curious to know what motivated your choice? He's painted a few random figurines he was gifted, but is now giving serious thought into going further. We'd welcome any tips on where to start!

 

A resident Tawny Owl sitting cosy in their nest. The photo was taken last week in Paris, this particular nest has been used by tawny owls for at least 10 years (likely the same owl?)

@[email protected] is singlehandedly keeping this place alive so I thought I'd also participate and share a photo I took last month. This is a burrowing owl I photographed on the grounds of a hotel in Brasilia. A couple of these guys made their burrow in a little ~~hole~~ hill at the bottom of the garden and were seemingly unbothered by hotel guests that were walking past. I have a couple of other shots but this is my favourite. Thanks for all your superb owl posts anon6789!
