Same for me.

It part of the protesting movement against the megabassine in what protesters call now the "water war". The objective of this particular protest was to block the port of the city of La Rochelle which is considered by protester to enable the owner of the megabassine to do the business that require such a big use of water. The mouvement has its own french wikipédia article . You can use a translator to learn more about it there.

Big mistake here : Calling change in Paris change in France. Paris metropolitan area is basically its own small world within France, things that happened in Paris usually don't apply, or at least don't apply the same, in France.

Living outside of Paris I can tell you we see that there is fast change there and it seems to be for the better in term of city livability. Still, this is still not much spread out into parisian suburbs which always had the worst live conditions.
In other big city, change toward '15 minutes' cities are happening much slower if at all and in towns and rural France the concept non existant.

My group of friends and I rent a bus for our yearly trip. Sometimes with driver, sometimes without when one of has the licence. Where we less, we would rent or borrow a mini-bus. And I'm regularly borrowing and renting vans and cars for trips for just a few.

Personal car ownership can be greatly reduce while still improving personal transportation convenience. Of course, at some point, it might become slightly less convenience for the individual passanger but the benefit for society would still compensate it.

Hey! My first Book was one of those bath book for Babys...

Agree!

Were they even that way? I mean, from as long as I can remember there was quiet and non quiet times, quiet and non quiet spaces in librairies. I've never heard of one were it is fully silent all the time. Isn't that just the case in movies for comedic effect?

Books help keep track of science and share it efficiently but the only knowledge we have is the one we still have when showering.

Add some waffles and I join the project!

Idk how it works in your country but where I am, anyone can access a university library and many students also frequent the public library. So basically, if every library were open late, anyone could go to the library of they choosing.

I don't understand what is funny here. Many university librairies are open until 9 p.m and there is still people at the closing that would stay later. If every librairie were open until 10 p.m or midnight, you can be sure that some people would make use of it.

Thank you for the advice. Telenevolas are great to learn indeed. I used to watch Totalmente Demais, a Brazilian show dubbed in Spanish and it was very easy to understand. In essence only 4 things happened : love, hate, jealousy and work shenanigan related to one of the previous.

But for now, I'm only looking for subtitles. I've got the videos but no sub and I don't know were to look for them.
