The (local) universe

The result of the symptoms could be struggling in school, but it doesn’t have to be is my understanding

The crude idea is that it makes US bonds less desirable, meaning they have to increase the interest rate on them, costing the US a lot of money

For just the appeal I don’t think anyone would need to rush anything to have it done before 2027, if it goes to cassation and beyond it probably would need to be rushed somehow for it to happen before 2027

If by recent years, you mean the last 20+ years, sure.

I’m not sure it truly hurts the Front National chances in 2027, however, the expected heir, Jordan Bardella, is not nearly as smart as MLP, so maybe it will make enough of a difference if it ends up a close thing. I would say the political situation in France is pretty volatile, hard to say what it will look like in 2 years.

There is also the possibility (slim, imho, but still real) of MLP either winning her appeal (which should take place sometime in 2026), or at least having the ineligibility sanction removed, which I think would give her a huge boost.

Why is volume a fair discount? Should a single person pay more for their groceries than a family?

Authorities are investigating a possible link to drug trafficking, terrorism implies some sort of political revendication/objective which so far has not been the case

That could still change, a number of the victims might still die from their wounds unfortunately

My personal experience is that I just translate one idiom from one language / culture to the other without realising and still expect ppl. to know what I mean.

That often works in my experience, and can lead to funny moments

Well apparently your spelling was perfectly fine, and neither of us were aware both spelling were acceptable, so we both learned something

I didn’t realize! I thought in this context lede was the only correct spelling, I suppose I should thank Cunningham’s Law for learning something

(just fyi, it’s “buried the lede”)

I’m not a lawyer (nor married), so my understanding is limited, but if both spouses agree to divorce (with or without agreeing on the exact conditions e.g. childcare), then that would constitute a no fault divorce. It seems to get messier if one spouse doesn’t want to consent to the divorce, then the notion of fault starts appearing. And that’s where my incomplete knowledge stops, both on the letter of the law and how it is applied in practice. The judge seems to have a lot of latitude as to whether the fault, if any, leads to consequences (financial reparations are a possibility).

Even without considering cheese villages (somebody mentioned Roquefort, I was thinking of Gruyere, France clocking in at about 100 inhabitants), I believe Verdun would be just as known and is smaller at a population of around 17000.

Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?

Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn’t on the list.

For a group our size (we regularly have over 800 people on our mumble, peak is somewhere around the 1.3k mark if I remember correctly), it would also be very cost prohibitive to use TS

Not that I particularly care to defend the french government, but there was 3 referendums, with voting restrictions in favor of the kanak, as per an agreement between the government and the kanaks. The first 2 went against independence and the kanaks decided to boycott the third (the polling was going against independence, again)

Does that mean all is fine and dandy? Obviously not, but I don’t think the story is as one sided as “classic french colonialism”
