French bread is just normal bread, while most other places seem to use the Chorleywood process now, which produces something different. You can find bread as good as French bread in other places, like some Belgian bakeries but definitely no

That's not true, about a third of France is in Antarctica if you want to count it, but French Guiana in South America is only a small part of France.

Honestly it's so difficult to find a map that satisfies all of one's requirements for teaching kids if you're a bit rigorous. I might be asking bit too much but I want Antarctica to be shown correctly, I want all microstates

I've always just understood it as in knockout, chaos wouldn't fit in the way OK and KO are used (as predicate adjectives, if I understand English grammar classes correctly) but it is part of why some people like to use "KO&qu

Well I know what you mean, it's phonetic in the same way that a silent "ent" and "p" in "comptent" are "phonetic" in French, or the silent "n"s in "pannenkoeken" are in Dutch.

They pronounce these words as if the e and the l were reversed, if "truffle" was written in a phonetic manner it would be written "truffel". Since the "l" sound is last and preceded by a schwa, "truffle&qu

It's not unusual in France to use OK and KO. I never liked it much because it's too easy to confuse and no semantically a good opposite either, but visually it does look very balanced.

Oh I don't doubt you, I was just reflecting that I think that paid toilets have largely been made free in the last 10 years or so. But I'm sure there still exist quite a few, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were especia

The only place in France I have seen this happen was Paris and public toilets are free there. I haven't seen paid toilets at all in France for a long time, actually. Maybe in train stations though.

> we could stop the nuclear plants when needed for cooling Well that's exactly what they did thanks to solar power provided by the rest of the grid, so your snark seems rather unwarranted.

No that's never the problem, even 40°C intake is cool enough to cool a reactor, it's all just a question of returned water temperature that can be harmful to a river if too high (generally the limit in Europe is set to 30°C).

The fondamental thing here is that humans 40k years ago could live in the toundra because we can live in the toundra today, and they had a similar behaviour to ours. So they made clothes and fires for the cold, and weapons for hunting the

Well I understood that much, but I'm not sure what link it could have with the shape of the x, especially since the English don't do it the same way as India.
