I live in Sceaux, bit south of Paris, where she lived some years. I once visited her house (now owned by someone who worked with one or more descendants of her) at some special occasion. One of the bedroom has a radiation sticker, and is officially controlled by the authorities, as some radiation were found. She obviously used to bring some work home :)
Living since almost 15 years near Paris, in a few different places, regularly taking line B, C, D, M6, M7, M13, M1, some buses, as part of my regular commute, and have never encountered the shit you are talking about. I do know that some places are more problematic than others, by example M6 drivers regularly warn of pickpockets on saturdays (it's a touristic line, the only one I regularly take that have such announcements), sure not everything is perfect, but you are either biased (where did you live when you were in Paris?) or actually purposely actively trying to spread fud to insist like you are.
Well, I take such seats on long distance flights (France to Japan, with one stop), and we take the same last aisle seats before the toilets, on both planes (A380 and B787) and on both way. Overall we are satisfied and will do again :
- no one bothering you behind and you do not bother anyone when reclining the seat
- easy access to toilets AND to water/snacks at the back
Maybe it depends on airlines and on what other people eat before their flight :D
I am pretty sure this guy came to my french island in 1998 or 1999 when I was last year of high school (if it was not him, it was another cosmonaut who had done a very long stay, but I am pretty sure it was him). He came to visit my high school to give a talk. A close classmate, who was half Russian and could speak well the language, translated for us. Kind of cool :D
Well, I think that it actually has a meaning once you read it in context. Taken out of context it makes a really awkward sentence and made me think of an AI halucination....
"Toujours produire" découvrira le métier de ta vie de la même façon que l'eau, aidée par la gravité, trouve le trou dans ton toit.
If you replace the first two words by "tu", and correct a minor mistake in the third one (add a "s" at the end), it has a meaning but otherwise not. I guess we cannot trust it to learn a language then.
Had fun almost 20 years ago with it during my internship at Ricoh : they were porting Linux on it (mostly as a research, the device was already nearing its EOL, but it had a touch screen with a stylus and 2 PCMCIA ports, which made it possible to put a WIFI card on it) and a made some small demonstration programs. Spent a lot of my time fighting to manage to make libs compile on it ^^;
