If you remove the Luxemburg, Andorra, and a couple of smaller countries, VAT rates are relatively consistent. Indeed, if you live within 20km from the border, it's worth buying some stuff across the border, and for some trips to plan a fuel stop on the right side of the border.
But if you need to drive 100 km, you won't recover the cost of the road if you don't do some specific purchases.
Note also, that at least in theory, you're not free to travel with unlimited cigarettes and alcohol (where tax rates difference can be crazy) so again, if you pass by Luxemburg or Andorra, you can't legally speaking buy 100 packs of cigarettes, (but would still save 30 to 50 € on a 10 packs carton)
On lui fait subir le meme sort que l'action de Tesla
Un point technique est que en tout cas en décembre janvier, l"action Tesla était absurde ment chère. Avec Tesla évalué largement au dessus du reste du secteur automobile alors que c'est un petit acteur. Et en parallèle l'arrivée de toutes les marques classique sur le marché des voitures éléctrique sans parler des marques chinoises.
Le salut de Elon n'a pas aidé, mais de base l'action était (IMO) sur évalué
What about some social advantages, may be not as powerful as D&D detect lies which kill investigation, but like once a session "detect a lie" or the ability to follow.
I would say have a look at various PBTA moves, may be in monsters of the week (But I don't have the books)
While it's a great initative, French research has it's own issues, while historically it was offering permanent position early but with low salary, nowadays, it's short term position for a low salary, not sure how it will unfold for the selected applicant.
While the D&D Fight monsters ad nauseam is more an exception rather than the norm in RPG, it still has a couple of asset.
Monsters are easy bad guys, there is not much moral consideration in fighting giant spyder or "children eating satanic Goblins" while if you fight against other humans who live in the forest that the Duke want to cut-downt to get wood for his navy it make everything more nuanced and complex. It's great in regular RPG where you can get tons of interesting moral dilemna out of it, but if you're into dungeon crawling monsters are removing all of that, and allow you to focus on the manage ressources to fight monsters apect of D&D.
if you're in zero to hero fantasy, you need opponent within that scale. so start with Goblins, then orcs, and finally dragon, and had a whole list in the way
A you mentionned, it's pretty specific to D&D and in many RPG you don't use much monster, or come with something unspeakable and too powerful for the PC to fight against
Scene from a horror movie : A young blonde girl look at herself in the mirror, her reflection through the cracked mirror, shows a monstrous and creepy old witch with occult tattoos, wearing the same clothe and having the same posture, the whole scene occurs in a wooden house, giving it a fantastic ambiance
Using Bing image generators,
and that one would have been even better if only I didn't got the extra face in it
Is the US situation that bad regarding game diversity ?
I am in a very active club, and less than half of the games are D&D and clones (including pathfinder and OSR in D&D and clones), before that I was part of an active online community, and again while D&D was big it wasn't more than half of the game ran.
And if you look at new games starting, due to D&D tendency to be relatively long campaign, it's even hard to find a seat at a D&D game because relatively few games starts compared to other games. (And then there is a couple of indie-game one-shots GM, meaning that there is always a slot open for a less known and often weirder game)
Male fashion sucks, but tank tops aren't seen like acceptable for men (out of the gym)
That said, students are old enough to understand how to dress, so IMO the professor should have say nothpng
But soon enough you'll discover that if you dare to wear a short at work your manager will ask whether you're in Hollyday or even sends you home to dress properly
J'ai l'impression qu'à moins que tu ais des projets réguliers, c'est le genre de machine qui est plus pratique à louer qu'à acheter. Sachant qu'à la location j'ai accès à des machines à filament, à résine et même à frittage. Évidemment chaque projet revient plus cher, mais tu évite les couts fixes d'une machine. À noter que j'ai fait une demi journée de formation à mon fablab local, car c'est obligatoire avant de "louer une machine" mais que je l'ai trouvé plutôt utile, car elle m'a donné toutes les astuces qu'il faut pour préparer et lancer une impression 3D et m'a donc éviter des essais foireux
Sinon j'ai utilisé une Prusa à mon fablab et une Ultimaker au boulot les deux fonctionnent bien (Sachant que dans les deux cas je suis simple user, et quelqu'un d'autre fait la maintenance).
Looking at the Ukraine and Armenia war I am getting curious about "cheap" drones or drone version of light aircraft. For the price of a Grippen, you can get 100 VL3 (even counting the modification for a drone version). Sure a cool ultra light plane isn't barely as cool as fighter jet.
However, With a swarm of 100, I doubt air defence will intercept all of them even in modern countries. Let alone operations in countries with no air defences
Je crois que la photo n'est plus aussi attendue qu'elle l'a été, mais en pratique, la date de naissance, c'est difficile à vraiment cacher. On se doute bien que si tu as 20 ans d'expérience tu n'es plus jeune. Il y a bien les cas des reprises d'études tardives (Et j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour ces gens), mais en général ces personnes ne laissent pas le CV vide sur la période avant.
Every decade had it's pile of shit, and for the moment, the 2020's have been a walk in the Park compared to 2010's.
Sure covid was a wild-ride, where we had to mostly stay at home when no valid reason to go-out, and when out the city was quiet. and then proceeding to normal life with some accommodation is weird,
Remember the 2010's with the long-tail of the 2008 economic crisis, the terrorist attacks (and all the security measure impact on day to day life), The start of the Ukraine war, The Syrian civil-war, the politicians not listening to kids protesting climate change, the Brexit, and tons of other crazy problems ?
Donc si tu as moins de 30 ans, tu es trop jeune, si tu as plus de 40 ans tu es trop vieux, et une pensée pour les femmes de 30 ans qui en plus vont se faire refuser un poste car elle risque de tomber enceinte.
Mais bien sur c'est les gens qui veulent pas travailler
World of Darkness, a pretty popular family of games with Vampire the Mascarade as a figurehead, it reach peak popularity during the late 90's/early 00's, then almost vanished during the 2010's. But with the recent release of the 20 year aniiversary verion and the fifth edition it's raising again.
It's modern Urban fantasy, the setting is almost the real world, and the PC are monsters e.g. Vampire, Mage or Werewolf fighting each other to control the city. While the public part of the setting is known by everyone you play Chicago/New-Orlean/Paris/Rome by night (and can just look gooogle open street map to get a map) , the game has a lot of semi-secret lore, about the creation of the Vampire/Werewolf/the Magic world, and the secret of powerful and ancient being with each sourcebook adding extra lore.
A difficulty with that setting, is that there is always a player who is fan of the setting and going to argue that you'll never see this happening because [insert reference to obscure sourcebook] and that other player who actually went once to the city where you play so while WOD player don't have rule lawyer, they have lore lawyer which are a bit akin.
While I talk about rules, the system is IMO the good balance between rule light (It's still a traditional skill-based/dice-pool system with it's root in the 90's) and crunchy, the 2006 revision is my default system for modern games (I know-it, it runs fines and fit my need)
