Intéressant… Mais l’article et le site officiel sont très “homéopathiques”. Après, je n’ai pas de souci avec l’eau de robinet, je voulais simplement éviter le détartrage de mes appareils. En tout cas, les trucs céramiques je connais car il y a 20 ans j’étais responsable d’un magasin et on avait un produit similaire. C’est des EM :

Merci quand-même. J’aime l’idée mais je ne suis pas sûr si ça marche.

Merci. Je me disais que c’était le cas car je travaillais dans un magasin et je devais recharger l’appareil de sel. En tant que locataire je n’ai ni la place ni l’envie d’investir dans ce truc maintenant.

Ah, je faisais que changer mais jamais le frigo… Mais je ne suis pas étonné.

Or des études canadiennes et britanniques ont montré qu’une eau au pH faible peut faciliter le relargage de certains métaux, en particulier quand elle est chauffée au contact d’ustensiles en métal ou en céramique (bouilloire, casserole).

Oops.

On utilise notre brita uniquement pour la cafetière et la bouilloire. Je bois l’eau de robinet direct.

Là j’ai pris un bâton de charbon pour mettre dans notre carafe. J’en ai marre de Brita. Comme tu dis, il y a sûrement des bactéries qui traînent et puis c’est cher et je dois faire 5 magasins pour en trouver. Le charbon tient 6 mois et c’est pas fait en plastique.

Oui, le calcaire gêne seulement les bouilloires et machines à café.

T’as une référence d’adoucisseur ? Ça coûte combien ?

Amazing that I can live in the country and hear nothing about this. I’ve just read the Guardian article and I guess not living in Paris or another major city might be one of the reasons.

Probably a private school thing in that case. I haven’t taught at a public uni since 2008, but parents wouldn’t have tried to get involved back then.

I cannot contact parents, but administrators will without question.

This shocked me as well because my parents weren’t involved with my work or education after finishing high school.

In France, this is not the case. The majority of people are supported by their parents until the end of secondary education, especially when it comes to my students who are all in private institutions.

It is extremely rare for a student to have a job, for example.

Parents do get involved for even minor things, and will come stomping into the school flanked by a lawyer.

Why would they be involved?

Because they pay. That’s all.

Now, university is practically free and lots of students get a bursary (not a loan) to help them along. But, their parents will still pay rent sometimes because a full-time student with a job is seen as the most amazing thing here.

I will often bring up this stark contrast to how when I was a student I had 4 different jobs and still ended my studies 60k in debt and didn’t even see my parents during the school year, let alone get any money from them.

True! Guardian is British but still, they need a better analogy.

I am a professor as several different schools in France (business, notarial studies, agricultural engineers, communication). I would day 95% of my students are from well-to-do families. But, most of them are required to find paid internships. The notary students usually get unpaid internships.

As an internship advisor, I can confirm one thing: paid or not, they put in the hours and take the same crap as a paid employee. Sometimes it is worse. For example, if an intern is absent from work, the message gets to me, and I send it up the chain of command and sometimes parents get involved. It is stressful for the students. My business students get paid internships (about €1400/month) but still need help from their parents and many of them will be doing something they don’t really want to do (think finance instead of marketing).

Now, being a professor I am in contact with a rather large network of of profs spanning the private and public sector… My colleagues from the public sector are worried about this looming change to laws. It would lead to an overhaul of the system as the internship is counted as a credit. If it is decided that they should be paid, how many companies will want to pay when they can just hire a part-timer for the summer?

I’ve told this tale 3 years running now:

I work at an international business school. I try to stay up to day on world news. There was a paragraph written about “infectious pneumonia” in Time magazine or The Economist the last week of 2019 (so the issue published the first week of 2020, I think).

Returning to work a week later I mentioned it in class, because that year I had about 6 students from different parts of China.

They said, “it’s nothing, just a flu.”

The next week, as numbers started to be published they said, “no, it’s an exaggeration.”

The week after they were the first students to start wearing masks.

Week 4, they told us they hadn’t heard from their families in several days. This would have been February 2020.

I felt so horrible for those students that year. They were only 18 or 19 years old. Sent to France in January 2019 (they are required to come several months before classes start in order to learn French and pass some tests). They were locked down March 16th 2020 and forced to take lessons on Zoom. Unable to return home for the summer. Took another semester on Zoom, etc., etc.…

I think they finally managed to head home in the spring of 2021.

I don’t have Netflix but it look like it is on Canal+ as a VOD option… So not really streaming but it is there.

Is the info on https://www.justwatch.com/ incorrect? I’m in France and Season 1 is listed on several platforms.

I was only allowed 1 or 2 new games per year so I played non-stop. I took my Gameboy everywhere. My mother saw something on TV at the time saying that games improved hand-eye coordination so she encouraged me to play like crazy. That might have helped haha.

Yes!

Still have it. I asked for a game for my birthday that year. At the last minute I said I wanted ST instead. My mom took back the game she had and swapped it for this. I played it like crazy. Although it wasn’t until last year that I realised how to beat the Borg.

On parle de mettre olvid sur f-droid depuis un moment.

Pas besoin de Spotify pour le savoir. D’ailleurs, je n’ai pas Spotify et je n’ai jamais écouté la musique en streaming.

Et voici les résultats :

1. Buck 65 (Super Dope c’est l’album de l’année les gars)

2. Béla Fleck (bluegrass !)

3. TIE : Cattle Decapitation | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

4. Tout un tas de musique que j’écoute depuis les 90s comme Squarepusher, RATM, SOAD, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, Alanis Morissette, Les Cowboys Fringants (😢), etc.

Je pense qu’on te donnera des avis positifs. Je n’ai jamais utilisé. Voici quelques alternative…
