Bolt Bins will quickly deliver a huge bin holding 1, 2 or 3 cubic meters of stuff. It’s kind of like an incredibly sturdy canvas bag. We’re using it to load more priceless, irreplaceable technological mementoes, or junk, depending on which of us you are talking to. Bah.

Вообще надеюсь когда-нибудь найти время на французский, хотя бы на базовом уровне, чтобы понять например, смогу ли разобраться с этими загадочными правилами чтения. Помню ты говорил что там всё не так сложно, но блин, когда увидел что фамилия Жиру, может быть написана как Girous и Giroud, подумал что понимание всей логики оно для избранных.
Кстати не помню где читал или от кого слышал, что французы часто пишут с какими-то знатными ошибками, условно в комментах к какому-нибудь посту. Видимо и для них написание это квест.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."
NOPE.
RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

In 2022, the CAQ was re-elected on the promise of providing a family doctor to every Quebecer...
