  • Could you take a 50% contract, and claim 50% social benefits? These last 50 won’t be much but will help.

    That’s kinda what I do here in France, but I only get short contracts, then unemployment, then work etc to about 35~55% a year.

    Another thing that helps is not going 50, but like 80 - it helps a ton to have 2 afternoons a week, I have many friends who did / do that.

    My mother was a nurse, I feel you. Took early retirement as soon as she could.











  • Today’s arch experience : upgraded after 6 months or so. Yeah, had to upgrade signatures first, had to remove manually conflicted stuff, and that’s it. Works, as ever.

    Now yesterday I tried installing stremio on my wife’s ubuntu. Gosh wtf, how do they expect any normal consumer going through gît and stack’ just to install that piece of crap.









  • Don’t forget that other contraption : for “those” we have “celles” + “ceux” = “celleux” (and probably celle + celui into cuielle or something)

    Then let’s have fun with everybody : “toutes” and “tous” is an easy one - toustes !

    Checking wikipedia on the matter, TIL that until the XII century French had neutrals “al” or “el”, and these are proposed for a comeback

    I am sincerely 100% for the transformation of language towards eradication of the default masculine and the new pronouns, but changing habits is hard.
