I like how popping a wheelie gets you five years more jail time than impersonating a police officer and beating up protestors if you're a high-ranking member of the Macron administration.

We get those going down the Avenue de Fontainebleau all the time, but I mean 5 years? The injuries those kids run the risk of getting are far more than enough punishment.

suck my woke dick posted:Jupiter just banned smartphones in schools Can they at least get phone calls from their parents or do they have to come in with a dumb phone for that (do they even sell them any more?)? In my experience that's the main reason why kids have a device since first grade: have something that allows parents to call during emergencies.

It's not very clear since this is the entirety of that bill (past a pretty long preamble explaining why it's needed):quote:PROPOSITION DE LOI Mobile phones are banned by default in kindergarten, primary schools and junior high schools, but each school will have the discretion to allow them in some cases. What form the ban will take in practice is probably also up to the schools. And it doesn't sound like dumb phones are exempted.

I teach foreign languages and allow them because students do genuinely use them to look things up in class; much faster and broader than paper dictionaries. I realise that some just goof off, but I take the bad with the good.

The fun thing is that cellphones were already banned in schools. It's just that nobody ever tried to enforce that. It's pretty typical of how modern governments work. 1. "There is a problem with X! We must do something!" 2. Pass a law enacting Y to address X. 3. Do not actually provide any sort of funds that would allow to materially enact Y. 4. Problem X persists, so a few years later, go back to 1.

 http://www.businessinsider.fr/us/trump-has-bizarre-interest-with-macron-2018-8 quote:President Donald Trump reportedly has a "bizarre" interest in French President Emmanuel Macron and randomly calls him, leaving France's leader confused as to why Trump has reached out. Now I'm imagined Macron getting woken up at like 3 in the morning by Trump yelling "what's up!" like in that Budweiser ad and it makes me smile.

This is unironically the funniest world leader article I have ever seen. My mom did that to me once; she went to visit her dad without telling me (I was in first year university and she didn't want me to feel bad about not being able to come to France) but she also caught a really bad flu, so in her weakened state she did the time zone conversion backwards. So it's 3am, I pick up the phone, and she's talking to me like everything's completely normal. Eventually I ask her where she is, she plays dumb and is like "what? I'm at home, obviously" and I'm like "yeah, mom, it's 3am here" and she's like "oh, poo poo. Ok, I'm visiting my dad" I didn't feel bad about not going to France at all but I never, ever let my mom forget about the time when she mixed up the time zone difference and called me at 3am.

Et Hulo vient de quitter le gouvernement.quote:"On s'évertue à entretenir un modèle économique responsable de tous ces désordres climatiques", a-t-il aussi dit au micro de France-Inter. Et de citer, parmi les motivations qui l'ont conduit à cette décision, ses désaccords avec le ministre de l'Agriculture ("je ne veux pas passer mon temps dans des querelles avec Stéphane Travert") et la place des lobbies qui posent selon lui "un problème de démocratie".

I mean, Hulot was excessively anti-nuclear and iirc also wasted too much time having strong opinions over GMOs and glyphosate. Him resigning is a win-win in that it not only scratches Jupiter’s ego but also means there’s one less green equivalent of a cold warrior in government making it hard to drag green politics into the present.

It was pretty grating how the TV coverage talked about nuclear power plants in the context of global warming and climate change. In theory, we totally should replace them with more renewables, sure. In practice? It's going to be a choice between more fossil fuels or rolling blackouts.

Toplowtech posted:Flamanville 4 EPR has been delayed until the end of 2019 (8 years of delays!) and the costs have increased by €10.9 billion. The prospect of 6 extra EPR fills me with joy. And quite honestly even 10-12 billion euros per 1600MW reactor isn't actually ruinously expensive, it's just concentrated in one big impossible-to-overlook spot instead of in a thousand small projects with their individual issues in the case of renewables. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Aug 30, 2018 |
