The OuLiPo is a French creative writing comitee created in the 60's that uses original constraints to foster original works.

One of their most famous works is A Void (La Disparition in French), which is a 300 page novel entirely written without using the letter E, which is the one banned by the instance. (And yes, there is an English translation that was also written entirely without the letter E)

You can't leave aside the fact that those typhoons were called "Divine Winds", or kamikaze.

Give it an extra 20 years and your meat will fall off your bones though.

Way way waaaay back on release (or was it in beta?), there wasn't any hero limit. You could pick 6 Winstons and go full monke on your opponents.

Then they made each hero unique, but you were still free with comps. You could pick 3 tanks and 3 healers, or 5 DPS and a poor tank who'd get flamed for letting his team die.

Eventually they settled on a fixed 2-2-2, which was extremely boring and basically killed any kind of interesting strat or just fun play.

Plot twist: kiloueka is a robot who is trying to goad humans into solving captchas for them.

The smallest living space you're allowed to put for sale/rent in France is 9m², and those absolutely are a thing. They're very common for example for student housing, but also former maid quarters, especially in older buildings.

The English Housing Act considers that one person living in a 70sqft room makes it legally "overcrowded", although there aren't any legal minimal sizes to sell or rent a flat.

Ummm, either you mixed units or your parking spots are very large.

15m² is slightly less than a 4m x 4m square, that's basically a small flat (larger than the smallest legal flat in a lot of developed countries, in fact)

Pratchett would say yes.

Surprisingly fitting for Lemmy right now.

It's a Gracie, so they probably counted that on their w/l record.

Al Qaeda vs Y'All Qaeda.

Ça dépend, on peut sécuriser ça avec un pare-feu OpenOffice ?

Plus sérieusement, on a toujours trois tours de retard quand il s'agit d'informatique dans l'administration, ne nous attendons pas à grand chose.

Y'a Tropico qui fait un peu ça, mais le thème république bananière des Caraïbes devient rapidement répétitif à mon goût.

Oh boy, this bogus article again.

Yes, train is cheaper than plane if you tack on an extra hotel night for no reason.

There's no difference between leaving on a Friday night and arriving on a Saturday morning by night train, and leaving on a Saturday morning and arriving on the same morning by plane.

Add to this that sleepover trains aren't available for the vast majority of destinations in Europe, and this article feels more and more like an ad paid for by the companies, which basically represent the entirety of the sleeper train option.

Addendum : I love the "a family of 4 saves £94, vut an even larger family could save up to £300!" part. Yes, if I took my entire extended family with me, we could even save over a grand on the trip !

"You’re also less likely to get stranded by a last-minute flight cancellation or lengthy delay - a nightmare that can destroy the most meticulously-planned holiday." Ah yes, the train, a mean of transportation that is notoriously known for it's reliability and lack of delay.

You want a cheap, low-impact holiday transportation? Coaches will get you across Europe for actually cheaper than planes, no ifs or buts, and aren't too polluting as long as they're full (also, trains are only "clean" transportation as long as they run on electricity and said electricity isn't produced by burning coal or oil)

Pour moi un vrai problème que j'ai toujours eu avec le jeu, c'est l'absence complète de politique, qui IRL est l'un des gros facteurs derrière de nombreuses décisions d'urbanisme. On n'est pas un maire, on est une sorte de dieu bâtisseur.

Un simple système d'élections (qu'on pourrait désactiver pour ceux qui veulent juste un joli city-builder) à la Democracy, avec une population qui a des intérêts et des opinions différentes. Et y'a pas forcément besoin de trop tremper les pieds dans la "vraie" politique.

Construire une piste cyclable ferait gagner en opinion auprès des écologistes, mais fait perdre auprès des automobiles. Mais avec le temps, cette piste cyclable fera augmenter la proportion d'écologistes dans la population.

Essayer de construire un HLM en plein milieu d'un quartier riche devrait avoir des conséquences, dans la réalité un maire va perdre pas mal de voix en prenant trop de décisions impopulaires.

Est-ce que on pourra y balancer le cercueil de Chirac, histoire qu'il respecte sa promesse ?

Oh et puis ils sont chiants avec les charactères spéciaux.

Déjà la majorité des gens vont juste prendre un mot de passe bateau en casant 123 à la fin (ou juste réutiliser le même mot de passe en changeant les chiffres), mais tu peux même pas facilement de rappeller du charactère spécial que t'as pris.

Y'a plus de chances que quelqu'un se fasse piquer son porte-feuille avec 30 mots de passes écrit sur un bout de papier parce que chaque service demande un truc différent, ou que le site lui-même se fasse pirater, que de se faire voler son compte par quelqu'un qui n'a rien de mieux à faire que de tenter une attaque en force pour te voler ta facture EDF.
