IMO this is because France was reluctant to increase the price of tobacco. I remember going to NYC in 2010 and a packet of cigarettes was 15$, nearly 3 times what I used to pay in France. Now they’ve set tobacco prices increase in motion, I expect the number of smokers to drop significantly. In the UK where tobacco prices have been on par with the US, I notice much fewer smokers than in France, and most of them seem to be foreigners

Interesting but this app doesn’t seem to be having a hard time scraping and publishing the recipe material without copyright.

Then I must have been flying onboard of a bureaucratic self-service. Airbus is a huge success resulting from coordinated European political will, funded by tax payer money in the form of qualified and talented workforce

Peugeot EVs have no apparent difference with their internal combustion engine counterpart, and I see this becoming the norm once the initial craze fades away

In verlan you can ommit the last vowel or leave it. Most of the times it’s omitted. Here’s another example with « flic » (policeman): Flic -> keufli -> keuf Or with metro (underground): Métro -> tromé -> trom

This sounds to me like « people who watch our movie shouldn’t be allowed to rewind! They don’t own the movie! »

France was a founding member of ECSC proposed by Robert Schuman, french prime minister, created by the Paris treaty and regarded as the premise of nowadays European union and expanded to up to 28 countries. France played an instrumental/leading role in building the very idea of a community of nations in europe. The contributions of that country toward European institutions are literally countless, but let’s name a few major ones: a shared currency (€), schengen area and absolute freedom of movement for citizens, goods, services and capital (none of which UK took part of). No one can sensibly deny France contributions to pretty much any regulation, judicial/defense/scholar/research/scientific cooperations.

I’m not saying UK played absolutely no role in building these institutions, but they’ve always displayed some reluctancy for further integration. Just fyi, France and Germany have been compensating since the 70s the budget contribution UK refused to make.

I thinks this is more something like ATDD (acceptance test driven development) consisting in capturing specifications in acceptance tests and use them in a second loop to drive traditional TDD. Outside-in TDD or mockist TDD following Martin Fowler’s vocabulary is just a TDD technique extensively using test doubles in order to define how actors collaborate or interact with each other to achieve the specifications.
