I've never seen this type of sausage before, must be some local thing 😬

In general we eat "saucisse sèche" (dried salami) as is, no bread or butter, but remove the skin! You can put it on bread if you want, but butter would be "un faux pas".

I have a 1st gen ROG Ally and it was an endless barrage of Windows/Asus updates every time I booted it 😩 (which took forever)
I finally installed Bazzite a few months back, and it's not even funny how much faster and leaner it is!

I saw an ad this weekend for an auction of a Frank Frazetta oil painting. Estimate: $1.5m... 😵‍💫

Oh it's by BHL, this guy is a boomer has-been and a clown.
He takes himself v seriously though: you see, he is a philosopher! He was famous (in the eighties)! He is handsome and his white shirt is open!

lol, exactly!
Proper French is hard enough, but spoken (common) French might as well be a different language

Like, just an example:
200€ = deux cents euros
220€ = deux cent vingt euros

And then there's the silent letters, the "liaison" rules, the plethora of homonyms... I feel like Spanish is simpler but it's been a while since I took lessons

They both have very similar conjugation + basic grammar, but I feel like French has a lot more insane rules and weird exceptions 😄

I've seen similar stations with locking doors, so you could roam around without worrying about your phone being stolen or messed with.
Presumably the instructions were for locking/unlocking?

I guess Susan Collins was channeling John Doar with her "DJT has learned his lesson" comment...
