@haikushack je trouve que c'est l'inverse ici. On est tellement critique qu'il ya beaucoup de nous les autres qui ne veut pas parler en publique.

So the City of Montreal just announced a new chief of police. He's got a good rep, even with some the harshest critics of the SPVM. I really hope he can fix the mess.

part of my fixation is to do with Canada's fighter procurement process. It feels like we don't have enough money to get the fighters we need for a lot of things and I wonder if we wouldn't be better off with a few fast jets and a lot more slow stuff for overseas engagements. (the jets are to go and greet the Bears and remind them about airspace etc etc).

@haikushack C'est vrai. Si j'enlève ma casquette d'étudiant et que je mets celle de concepteur pédagogique, l'autre problème est que nous utilisons des tests écrits pour placer les gens dans des cours de conversation. Je me débrouille bien en conversation, je fais des erreurs, mais mon français écrit est un désastre. (yay for DeepL)

I just fell down one of my personal interest rabbit holes. if COIN air support is likely to continue to be important, and the A10 is costly/old, wtf are we not looking at slow, low, indestructible stuff? By which I mean Mosquito Mk2023! (but seriously the Super Tucano is right there). Anyway, I'm just oddly fixated on this topic.

@haikushack "knife" OF COURSE THE K IS SILENT.. WHY WOULDNT IT BE?

@haikushack le phrase "Il n'y a pas de règle toujours bien définie." peut être le slogan "La langue francais; Il n'y a pas de règle toujours bien définie."

@haikushack les pronunciation des mots ou on coller ensemble les lettre a le fin et debut des deux mot..

@wildmaven Well shit.. I'm so sorry.

Today would be a perfect day for someone to knock on my office door and say "hey, I made vegan cookies, would you like to try them?"

@redenigma all my wood work/DIY is a bizarre mix of "yeah, that's six foot by 10 mm"

@BagOfLazers One of the good things about me not watching this world cup is that absolutely no one has to hear me screaming at my TV. Between Brazil and effing Ronaldo .. like my god, you're good, if you got up off the ground you'd score more often .. holy shit.

@BayouLuke oh. my. god.

@haikushack les liaisons sont complique pour moi .

@redenigma Living in canada I wind up doing that a lot

@redenigma you got something in metric? Easier to do the conversion and do the fraction that way.

@MindfulWilliam Neighbour TV is ALWAYS the best TV

Les liaisons sont un peu difficile.

French class is hard today.
