Sure. I’m from the Netherlands, we did use bikes more often. But if you look at infrastructure from the fifties and compare that to today there’s a world of change. Cars were everywhere and bike lanes just a line on the road.

They didn’t come out of nowhere in those countries. They were once as car centric as everywhere else.

‘if you build it, it will come’

There’s plenty of examples where car and bike can coexist. Look at Denmark or the Netherlands.

It’s only capitals, not that weird a choice

Also we executed fascist leader Anton Mussert in 1946, so the map is wrong

So it’s not your cup of tea, doesn’t mean you have to get judgemental over it.

The cruel part is that the people that are circumcised don’t get to choose for themselves.

I unfortunately I had to look it up:

that red hot dog like stick that emerges from a dog’s crotch. also known as the pink crayon or the pink lipstick

Thanks, I hate it

As a Dutch person visiting France often: this is the case, and French people nowadays do their best to speak English, not always with great results, but it’s way better than twenty years ago.

But there must be an attempt at French, at least a bonjour. If you assume English will be spoken by default you’ll have a hard time (and I fully agree)

Conman needs marks

Bec oiseau (bird’s beak) knifes have a curved blade…

You can do number one, but when you reach the last four cuts, you flip the onion cut side down and dice from there.

This prevents wrangling the piece with the nails of your claw grip, as the base gets smaller and more difficult to keep up right.

It also prevents the more elongated cuts that so hurt (arguably, I’ve never had problems) the symmetry.

It might be a matter of preference/taste?

Only rectally

It’s not a guide, it’s a list.

Andorra kind of baffles me. Is it so sparsely populated, out isn’t there a hospital?

That’s nutty

I know it’s part of your transition period and are forced by law to continue the 100 year war on a culinary manner.

I’d say that the proper French culinary colonialist equivalent to the Tikka Massala is the Bahn Mi sandwhich and that feels like a proper match for it.

But now come up with a dish that doeesn’t take any inspiration from former colonies and I think most of them can be beaten by a simple onion soup

Technically the French call the puff pastries most countries seem to equate to typically French (the croissant f.i.) after Vienna. Those are called Vienoiseries

And pot=pot, so potassium is ‘from the ashpot’ which was how kalium salts were extracted, by adding water to wood ash, then filtering and evaporating the water off.

That and vendetta honor comfort
