J'ai réalisé seulement après mes 20 ans que "euro" c'était parce que c'était la monnaie de l'Europe... Mais le must c'était quand même au collège, j'ai dévoré les livres Harry Potter, sans avoir lu les films, et quand j'en parlais je prononçais Ron comme le mot "rond", jusqu'à tomber honteusement tard sur quelqu'un qui m'a pointé la prononciation normale
J'ai fini le roman graphique "Les guerres de Lucas" que j'ai trouvé très agréable et informatif même pour un fan de la saga Star wars. J'ai aussi commencé le "Petit traité d'anatomie superflue" de Guillaume Lecointre, très intéressant aussi même si je trouve la structure du bouquin parfois redondante, ce qui est bien ironique vu son sujet :)
My favourite cards artwork is also my favourite board game, Oceans ( https://www.northstargames.com/products/oceans ) ! Especially on the collector edition with holographic special cards, really cool artworks overall (and really good game too)
Traduction française de "mansplain" j'imagine ? Donc s'exprimer avec plus d'assurance que de raison sous prétexte qu'on est un homme s'adressant à une femme.
Maybe, just maybe, if editors did a hint of work with all the money they steal from public science funding, we could stabilise the system towards more integrity and less quantity of publication. Or also just get rid of editors to obtain the same result, but this is sadly utopic today. Peer reviewing is not the problem, and probably still is the best way to assess research quality. However, tendency towards quantity over quality, and applied research over fundamental are what skews the process and its results
As others have stated, water in trees gets up thanks to two processes. The first is indeed capillary action. The tubes carrying the water are rather thin, and it clings to the sides of it. But this is a rather small part of the total energy carrying the water. The main mechanism is a negative pressure inside the vascular system of the tree. Basically, tree leaves sweat water all the time (more or less depending on temperature). The water leaving the tree kind of sucks up the water following inside the vessels (this is a simplification to not go into the physics behind). In some larger trees, the negative pressure inside the vascular system can be exceptionally strong, requiring exceptional strength of the tree's components.
I am European and heavily against punitive justice. But I think one year of prison for a crime almost universally considered among the worst is not enough for rehabilitation, and I find this opinion validated by the lack of understanding or even remorse shown by the guy in public statements
He did barely a year of prison... I personally don't quite think it's enough for raping a kid, but hey that's just my opinion
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 !

Depending on your country, you should have local brands and sex shops chains available. Off the top of my head, LELO is a (fairly expensive) Swedish brand, Marc Dorcel is French
