Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. He’s elected by the members of parliament. He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

“To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

That will now also be the case in France.

This is full of terrible advice. Password rotation is an outdated practice.

Don’t ever reuse passwords with “zones”, just use a password manager to generate long and secure passwords for every account. Then enable MFA wherever possible, and Passkeys where they have been implemented.

Then have a recovery method for the password manager stored in a secure place.

That’s what Passkeys are aiming to do.

My dog: “I’ll have the vintage mud puddle, please.”

How does it compare with Kagi?

Do you have any skills you can use?

You can also sign up for medical trials.

A lot of people seem to agree with you, so I’ll reassess my stance on the shampoo.

As a person with a short cut, every run of the mill shampoo has done its job. But of course your hair needs to last longer when you grow it out; so adverse effects have more time to pile up.

Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

Fashion clothes

Better yet: buy long-lasting stuff that is ethically produced. Primark is notoriously bad in this regard — but most fast fashion stores are.

Well obviously not… Because the nose wheel fell off.

I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.

(yes I wash them)

I had assumed as much, but you explicitly saying so just makes me doubt it.

Since Queue has already been posted: Quay. Now spelled Kee.

You should’ve acted. He’s already here.

If there’s one dish where I feel it’s a waste to eat animal meat, it’s hamburgers. Vegetarian alternatives have come a long way and in a burger they’re often the superior option.

There’s a small difference for sure, but the BM patties are far from inferior. And much of the difference is masked by condiments anyway.

I’ve found I enjoy communities less as more content is copy/pasted from Reddit. A lot of value is in the comments, and it’s off-putting when you have an AITA post without any replies. I don’t really see the point in replying either, as the person asking is never going to read it anyway.
