En fauteuil, il ne trouve pas d'agent pour l'aider à monter dans le RER et rate la flamme Paralympique à Paris.

Pierrick Courilleau, habitant d'Orsay (Essonne) et élu municipal, n'a pas pu monter dans le RER en gare de Guichet pour aller à Paris ce mercredi assister au passage de la flamme Paralympique. Une mésaventure qu'il raconte, rappelant que «L'accessibilité n'est pas une variable d'ajustement».

i need to remind everyone of one of my favourite non-roleplaying moments of dndads s2. it’s basically just freddie suffering for almost 2 minutes straight. also i copy pasted the transcript if you can’t/don’t want to listen to the video. it’s under the cut

Beth: Hi. I’m Beth May, and I play… [intensely] Scary Marlowe.

[gasps]

Freddie: [harsh coughing]

Will: She's back.

Beth: I’m…

Freddie: [off mic] Oh, shit! [more coughing]

Beth: Oh my God!

Freddie: I— [still coughing off-mic]

Beth: Have you ever scared somebody so bad that they got COVID?

[laughter]

Freddie: No, I swallowed—[sniff]—spit…

Matt: Freddie doesn't have hiccups anymore.

Freddie: Into my… [coughs] Into my— lungs. [back on mic] I gasped too hard.

Anthony: What a way to die, that would be.

Beth: Wow.

Freddie: [off mic] Holy shit.

Beth: That's how I want to go. Fun fact about… S—

Freddie: [hiccups] Oh, fuck, I—

[group laughter]

Anthony: Oh, no…! You buffoon!

Matt: Freddie, leave the room!

Anthony: Augh!

Will: Freddie, that's disgusting!

Matt: Freddie, leave the room!

Freddie: [off mic] Hold on!

Matt: Beth needs to give a fact. Get outta here!

Freddie: No, no. I have a straw!

Matt: You stay away from your microphone!

Freddie: [off mic] I have a straw!

Anthony: Who gives a shit about your straw?

Matt: You’re like getting cl—

Freddie: [off mic] I got a straw!

Matt: You’re like, getting closer when you're coughing.

Freddie: [off mic] Guys, shut up, I have a—

[snap!]

Freddie: [off mic, yelling] Ow!

Anthony: Oh fuck!

[joyous group laughter]

Anthony: He just ran into the kitchen and…

Freddie: [off mic, yelling] Ow!

Anthony: …tripped on a cord and hit his fucking foot.

Matt: You don't have to run! This isn't a live show.

Anthony: You can edit this!

Freddie: [off mic, yelling something]

Beth: He didn't even trip on a cord!

Will: [off mic] We can cut this out!

Anthony: He didn't?

Will: [off mic] What are you doing?

Anthony: What did he…?

Beth: I think that we should cut it out!

Will: Freddie’s…

Beth: I don't even think it's that funny.

Will: Freddie’s walking back with a glass and he's…

Matt: Freddie bought this… $40 hiccup straw that he tried to show me last time. And it did not work.

Freddie: Okay, okay.

Matt: It's my favorite thing that's ever happened.

Anthony: It’s an anti-hiccup straw?

Freddie: I have a— see this straw… [hiccup]. So this straw was invented by a doctor to cure hiccups, so you have to just suck water through it.

Matt: By a quack!

Anthony: Alright, here we go!

Freddie: Okay. [tiny noise of air]

[pause]

Will: [quiet chuckling]

Beth: [sighing] Oh…

[pause]

Matt: Last time he did this, he hiccuped five seconds afterwards.

Beth: I’m gonna—

Freddie: It worked!

Beth: All right. Hey! I'm Beth May.

Freddie: Hey, Beth!

Beth: And I play [intensely] Scary Marlowe.

[gasps]

Beth: A goth pu— [laughs]

[laughter]

Anthony: How much money would you give to make Freddie cough in it right now and hiccup? For another hour?

lewis hamilton is interviewed during the drivers parade, baku - september 15, 2024 (transcript under the cut)

Interviewer: "Lewis, coming to you now. A pit lane start for you after some changes to your PU components. Can you talk us through that decision? Is it because the team are feeling confident that you'll be able to make your way up through the pack?" Lewis: "No. It's just [laughs] we lost an engine earlier in the year, so making it to the end of the year with only a couple of engines is not gonna be so easy, so… But it's okay. I think this is probably the best circuit to do so. As George said, we're quick on the straights, so it'll be an interesting afternoon. Not gonna be easy, but I'll do my best." Interviewer: "And you spoke yesterday of some difficulties with the tires. We know that tire management is gonna be really important here. It's feeling a bit warmer. How are you approaching that?" Lewis: "I think it should be a little bit better. We've been able to make some changes to the car. There was a couple things that weren't right on the car for qualifying, or generally, yesterday, so I'm hoping that the car is in a better place today. And we've got a good crowd here, so… Amazing weather, so just gonna enjoy my afternoon." Interviewer: "Do just that. Thank you, Lewis. Good luck."

[lingthusiasm]

Gretchen: I think the best-known example of do you do the source language versus the target language in terms of plural in English is a certain little creature with eight legs. Lauren: The octopus. Gretchen: The octopus. Lauren: Which I just avoid talking about in the plural at all to save myself a grammatical crisis. Gretchen: I admit that I have also done this. If you were gonna pluralise “octopus” as if it’s English, it would just be “octopuses.” It’s very easy. But there’s a fairly long-standing tradition in English of when a word is borrowed from Latin to make the plural the actual Latin thing. Because, historically, many English speakers did learn Latin, and so you want to show off your education by using the Latin form even though it’s in English. So, if you’re going to pretend that “octopus” is Latin, then you wanna say, “octopi.” However, there is yet a third complication, which is that “octopus,” in fact, is actually Greek – “octo” meaning “eight” and “pus” meaning “feet. So, Greek does not make these plural by adding I to it. In that case, there has recently become popular a yet even more obscure and yet even more pretentious, to be honest, plural. Lauren: Is there where you say, “octopodes”? Gretchen: Well, this is where I used to say, “octopodes.” But I have recently learned that, apparently, it is, for maximum pretentiousness, /aktaˈpodiz/. Lauren: You’ve out-pretentioused my out-pretentiousness.

⚜ Le Sacre de Napoléon V | N°6 | Francesim, Versailles, 27 Thermidor An 230

Napoleon V met Madame Royale de Thornolie (@theroyalthornoliachronicles) at the coronation gala. It was not the first time she had visited Francesim, but he had never spoken to her before. Curious, he was soon disillusioned by Eleanor's coldness. The young emperor hoped that he had not complicated his future diplomatic relations with the kingdom of Thornolia. He also hoped that she had not formed the wrong impression of him.

⚜ Transcription

Louis: Madame Royale, are you enjoying the festivities?

Eleanor: They are certainly festive…

Louis: I'm delighted to see Thornolia is continuing its friendship with Francesim. Do give my regards to your father.

Eleanor: If only you had the opportunity to send your regards in person.

(Long Pause)

Louis: I must say you are intriguing, Madame Royale, for an ambassador. My advisors told me about you, or at least, they told me what they’ve heard of you, so much so I wanted to see if it was true. 

Eleanor: Do tell. What do your advisors deem worthy information to tell you about me?

Louis: They say you're not very talkative, to put it simply. I'd like to invite you to Compiègne one of these days so we can get to know each other better. What do you say?

Eleanor: Tell me, sire, is that all it takes for you to impose yourself on a woman? To hear they are not very talkative?

Louis: Madame, you’ve got me all wrong. I'm just... 

Eleanor: Non. I’m afraid you have me all wrong. Perhaps you shouldn’t take everything you hear to heart, particularly from people who claim their loyalties only to hide their own agendas. Then you might be able to make valid conclusions about people all on your own. In fact, shall I share what I have heard about you? Louis: I'm all ears, Madame…

Eleanor: In the public eye you are the darling boy emperor who everyone loves to praise. Not a single hair out of place, not a single event you attend favouring you negatively. 

Louis: Not an unappealing narrative…

Eleanor: Perhaps the words I’ve heard are more favourable than I lead you on to believe. 

And yet…. watching you tonight it is easy to see why anyone would be hard pressed to see behind the smoke and mirrors act you project. And that’s all you are: Smoke and mirrors. You have had everything handed to you on silver platters and fed to you with silver spoons, and therefore you have no problem believing everyone you deign to speak with will bow down to give you anything you desire. So do forgive me, sire, if I refuse to be another.

Louis: … Last I knew, we are cut from the same cloth.

(Short Pause. this is when Eleanor shows the chink in her armour at Louis’s words)

Eleanor: That may be, Louis, but not everyone cares for their cloth the same way. 

Marie-Joséphine: Your Majesty, may I join you?... Louis: Of course, Mère.

Eleanor: Bonsoir, Madame Mère. 

Marie-Joséphine: Madame Royale. It's a pleasure to meet you. 

Eleanor: Truly, the pleasure is mine. My father was adamant I passed along his regards to you.

Marie-Joséphine: Merci, it’s appreciated.Eleanor: I’m afraid you must forgive me. Despite the lovely evening put together tonight I’m feeling a bit run down and must retire. Pardonnez-moi. (curtseys) Sire, Madame Mère. (Leaves)

⚜ Traduction française

Napoléon V rencontre Madame Royale de Thornolie durant le gala du couronnement. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'elle se rend en Francesim, mais il n'avait jamais pu s'entretenir avec elle auparavant. Curieux, il déchante bien vite devant la personnalité froide d'Eleanor. Le jeune empereur espère ne pas avoir compliqué ses prochaines relations diplomatiques avec le royaume de Thornolie. Et aussi, qu'elle se soit faite une mauvaise idée de sa personne.

Louis : Madame Royale, appréciez-vous les festivités ?

Eleanor : Elles sont certainement festives...

Louis : Je suis ravi de voir que Thornolie continue son amitié avec la Francesim. Veuillez transmettre mes salutations à votre père.

Eleanor : Si seulement vous aviez l'opportunité de les transmettre en personne.

(Longue pause)

Louis : Je dois dire que vous êtes intrigante, Madame Royale, pour une ambassadrice. Mes conseillers m'ont parlé de vous, ou du moins, ils m'ont dit ce qu'ils avaient entendu sur vous, si bien que j'ai voulu voir si c'était avéré.

Eleanor : Dites-moi donc. Qu'est-ce que vos conseillers jugent digne de vous dire à mon sujet ?

Louis : Ils disent que vous n'êtes pas très bavarde, pour faire simple. J'aimerais vous inviter à Compiègne un de ces jours pour que nous puissions mieux nous connaître. Qu'en dites-vous ?

Eleanor : Dites-moi, sire, est-ce tout ce qu'il vous faut pour vous imposer à une femme ? Entendre dire qu'elle n'est pas très bavarde ?

Louis : Madame, vous m'avez complètement mal compris. Je suis juste...

Eleanor : Non. J'ai bien peur que ce soit vous qui m'ayez mal comprise. Peut-être ne devriez-vous pas prendre à cœur tout ce que vous entendez, surtout de la part de personnes qui prétendent leur loyauté uniquement pour cacher leurs propres agendas. Alors, vous pourriez être capable de tirer des conclusions valables sur les gens par vous-même. En fait, puis-je partager ce que j'ai entendu à votre sujet ?

Louis : Je vous écoute, Madame...

Eleanor : Aux yeux du public, vous êtes le jeune empereur chéri que tout le monde aime louer. Pas un seul cheveu de travers, pas un seul événement auquel vous assistez ne vous désavantage.

Louis : Un récit pas déplaisant...

Eleanor : Peut-être que les mots que j'ai entendus sont plus favorables que je ne vous l'ai laissé croire.

Et pourtant... en vous observant ce soir, il est facile de voir pourquoi il serait difficile de percevoir ce qui se cache derrière l'acte de fumée et de miroirs que vous projetez. Et c'est tout ce que vous êtes : de la fumée et des miroirs. On vous a tout donné sur des plateaux d'argent et nourri avec des cuillères en argent, et donc vous n'avez aucun problème à croire que tous ceux à qui vous daignez parler se prosterneront pour vous donner tout ce que vous désirez. Alors pardonnez-moi, sire, si je refuse d'être une autre.

Louis : ... Pourtant, nous sommes faits de la même étoffe

(Courte pause. C'est à ce moment qu'Eleanor montre une faille dans son armure aux mots de Louis)

Eleanor : C'est peut-être vrai, Louis, mais tout le monde ne prend pas soin de leur tissu de la même manière.

Marie-Joséphine : Votre Majesté, puis-je me joindre à vous ?...

Louis : Bien sûr, Mère.

Eleanor : Bonsoir, Madame Mère.

Marie-Joséphine : Madame Royale. C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer.

Eleanor : Vraiment, le plaisir est pour moi. Mon père était catégorique pour que je vous transmette ses salutations.

Marie-Joséphine : Merci, c'est apprécié.

Eleanor : Je crains que vous deviez me pardonner. Malgré la charmante soirée organisée ce soir, je me sens un peu fatiguée et je dois me retirer. Pardonnez-moi. (révérence) Sire, Madame Mère. (S'en va)

Automne 1927 - Champs-les-Sims

3/5

Avoir deux filles m'a fait beaucoup pensé. Surtout au vu de ce que tu écris dans ta lettre au sujet des femmes au Canada ou de l'enseignement de l'anglais. J'en ai discuté avec Antoine, et figure toi qu'il connait étrangement bien le sujet. En effet, la faculté des Sciences Politiques où il étudie est très "américanophile" comme il dit. Il dit que ça vient de Tocqueville, même si je n'ai aucune idée de qui il s'agit mis à part qu'il s'agissait d'un philosophe. Nous en avons même parlé assez longuement, et quand Antoine parle de politique, il a cette petite lueur dans les yeux qui me rend parfois jalouse de ne pas être allée à la faculté.

Il aimerait pouvoir en parler plus longuement, mais Grand-Mère n'apprécie pas tellement les socialistes, sans bien sur évoquer les communistes. De plus, avoir un débat avec elle est éreintant, elle ne cesse de multiplier les stratégies de fuite ou les appels au bon sens quand elle se sent en difficulté. Pour mon frère, c'est assez difficile à vivre car il aimerait pouvoir partager plus de choses avec elle. Pense-tu, quand il est question de politique, elle rapporte tout à Napoléon ! Et pas seulement au troisième.

Transcription :

Eugénie « Et comment se passe l’école mon garçon ? »

Marc-Antoine « Très bien Grand-Mère. Mes professeurs sont contents de mon travail et je passe la plupart de mon temps libre à la bibliothèque. Ils n’arrêtent pas d’y ramener de nouveaux livres, c’est fascinant. Beaucoup de livres américains cependant... »

Arsinoé « Et ça ne te plaît pas ? »

Marc-Antoine « Bon, je n’ose pas dire grand-chose, mais j’ai l’impression que tout le monde à la faculté ne jure que par l’Amérique. L’Amérique par ci, l’industrie américaine par là, la femme américaine serait « trop libérée »… Enfin bref, nos anciens sont tellement persuadés de prêcher en territoire conquis qu’ils en oublient que tout le monde n’est pas d’accord. Mais d’un autre côté, ils fustigent Wilson et ses Quatorze Points. »

Arsinoé « Donc en réalité, ils ne suivent que ce qui les arrange. Soit c’est un modèle à suivre, soit c’est un contre-exemple à éviter. »

Marc-Antoine « Exactement ! Ils n’ont que ça à la bouche ! »

Eugénie « Les Américains sont des brutes incultes, je l’ai toujours dit. Je ne vois pas en quoi nous devrions être fascinés par tous ces imbéciles d’outre Atlantique. »

Arsinoé « Le Canada est aussi en Amérique, Grand-Mère. »

Eugénie « Seigneur ma fille, me crois-tu idiote ? Heureusement qu’il y a là-bas quelques français pour raffiner l’ensemble, voilà ce que je dis ! Si ce n’était Napoléon, je ne parviens pas à comprendre ce qui a pu pousser ton arrière-grand-oncle Jacques à rester. »

Marc-Antoine « Tout n’est pas si blanc ou si noir Grand-Mère. Et je ne crois pas qu’on puisse parler vraiment de « français ». Ils sont canadiens depuis bien longtemps, et si ce n’est la langue, je pense qu’ils ont une culture aussi différente qu’entre nous et… voyons… nos voisins allemands par exemple. »

Eugénie « Oh non, pas les allemands. Ces immondes brutes nous ont bien fait assez de mal ! »

Marc-Antoine « Je ne faisais que… oh, laissez tomber ce n’est pas grave. »

Arsinoé « Vous n’aimez pas grand-monde Grand-Mère. »

Eugénie « Il faut dire qu’il n’y a pas grand monde pour nous aimer non plus. La réciproque est vraie également. Mais n’y voyez pas une attaque contre nos cousins, ce sont de braves gens. Même si il est vrai que Cousin Jules est sans doute trop américain sur bien des aspects... »

Marc-Antoine « Je ne suis pas sur que... »

Arsinoé « Quelqu’un peut-il trouver grâce à vos yeux ? »

Eugénie « Tu me vois donc comme une vieille bique amère… Pour commencer, vous bien sur ! Ma brillante descendance qui comble toutes mes attentes, ainsi que... »

Marc-Antoine « Que pensez-vous des communistes ? »

Eugénie « Oh ceux-là. Vous savez, je n’ai rien contre les socialistes, mais il ne faut pas trop l’être non plus n’est-ce pas ? Quand il était jeune, votre père a lu un livre socialiste, et il a retourné la tête à tous les élèves de sa classe. C’était un pamphlet anti-clérical, a-t-on idée d’introduire cela chez nous ? Les communistes détestent Dieu ! Fort heureusement, votre grand-père a eu tôt fait de lui remettre les idées en place. »

Arsinoé « Pourtant, Papa aime toujours aussi peu les curés, de même que les monarchistes. »

Eugénie « C’est à cause de toutes ces bêtises qu’il a lues. Le socialisme mets des idées étranges dans la tête des gens. Vous savez qui était également socialiste ? La mère de Cousin Jules. Et quels étranges fils elle a eu… La brave femme a sans doute fait de son mieux, mais avec de telles idées, il était naturel que ces deux arbres ne poussent pas droit. »

Arsinoé « Admettez quand même que certaines idées sont bonnes. Je ne suis pas spécialistes, mais il me semble que les communistes veulent davantage d’égalité dans la société, et ce n’est pas plus mal n’est-ce pas ? »

Eugénie « De mon temps, les gens n’avaient pas toutes ces bêtises en tête et ils n’étaient pas plus malheureux. L’égalité… pfff, à quoi bon ? Va t-on déposséder tous ces braves patrons des biens qu’ils ont mis leur vie entière à créer ? »

Marc-Antoine « Et bien, nous pouvons comprendre leur point de vue non ? »

Eugénie « Veux-tu voir ta sœur privée de ses biens ? Toutes nos belles choses dispersées aux quatre vents ? Assister à la fin de tout ce que votre grand-père et votre oncle ont mis une vie à bâtir ? »

Marc-Antoine « Non… bien sur que non... »

george russell is interviewed after fp2, baku - september 13, 2024 (transcript under the cut)

Interviewer: "George, could you talk us through what hapepend there at the start of FP2? We saw you staying in the garage for a precautionary PU change." George: "Yeah." Interviewer: "Can you give us a little more detail on what happened?" George: "For now, no. Not too sure [laughs] exactly. We just knew we had to change the engine. So we had a problem after FP1, obviously delayed the session, and then we also had a problem at the end of the session, too. So it wasn't our finest Friday, that's for sure. Lewis is looking really quick out there, so we know the car is capable of something strong, but once again Ferrari look really, really strong around here. They always seem to be fast in Baku." Interviewer: "For the laps that you were able to run, how did the car feel? Could you tell that something felt off?" George: "Well, the problem was the engine in FP1, and then at the end it was a actually a sensor failure. So we pitted 'cause we thought we had a water leak, but we didn't. So it was feeling okay. It wasn't feeling superb for me out there. I was struggling; I was definitely off the pace compared to Lewis. I was really struggling with confidence in the car and getting the tires in the right window, so I need to try and step my game up a little bit for tomorrow and try and close that gap."

[landinrris]

I’ve been pretty grumpy about how McLaren have handled team orders, but I will give them credit for today. Listened to Piastri’s radio and on the last lap, they asked him to back up a second to make sure that Lando got 4th after the five second penalty instead of getting jumped by Oscar in the race. He did so right away, no questions asked and said no problem when they thanked him. I’m suspecting that’s the kind of team orders we see till the end of the year.

Yes, I saw this on the transcripts on Multiviewer while I was watching. Tom asked Oscar to drop a second as soon as the penalty came through. I'm not surprised Oscar followed orders considering he's never been one to disobey them. Both of the drivers listen to what they're told. Andrea has said before they're allowed to question the orders, though this one was probably black and white enough (plus with previous intra-team discussions) that there was nothing to debate.

This seems like a pretty common order that they've both been subject to in the past (Daniel as well), it's just that then it was usually "If you can't pick up the pace, let your teammate by" or "Hold station." Pretty normal stuff

If I'm remembering correctly, there was a time in 2022 as well when Lando was having PU issues towards the end and Daniel was told to stay behind and not challenge him. Slightly different, but same color of order imo. They are all team players at the end of the day

Printemps 1929, Hylewood, Canada (3/5)

Papa est malade, et ce n’est pas bon du tout, je suis très inquiet. Depuis le début du mois de février, Papa a perdu du poids. Il est très fatigué et il a développé une toux persistante. Je l’ai amené de force consulter un médecin à Kingston car sa toux ne s’arrangeait pas, et son état général ne faisait que s’aggraver. Je vais te dire tout ce que le médecin a fait, car peut-être que ça dira quelque chose à tes tantes qui pourront juger de si les techniques sont bonnes, ou peut-être juger du diagnostique… Il a effectué des râles pulmonaires et une radiographie du thorax, puis il a réalisé un examen au microscope des expectorations qu’il recrache quand il tousse. D’après lui, c’est la tuberculose. Il m’a expliqué qu’il existe plusieurs stade de la maladie. Seul le dernier est mortel. Pour l’instant, Papa n’est pas en danger immédiat, et le stade actuel de sa maladie peut durer plusieurs mois voire plusieurs années. Il parait qu’il y aurait un gars à Québec qui aurait survécu plusieurs décennies avec la tuberculose, et qu’au final on ne sait même pas si c’est la tuberculose qui l’a tué, ou si c’est son grand âge. Papa sera peut-être de ceux-là…

Tu comprends donc pourquoi je suis atterré de le voir s’ostiner avec Marie, et l’oncle Joseph, et Constantin, et Adelphe, et tout le monde. Papa agit comme s’il s’en fichait, il prétend qu’il se moque bien de ce que les gens pensent et de se retrouver seul, mais je sais que c’est faux. Je lui ai demandé pourquoi il n’écrivait plus à Adelphe. Je n’ai pas pu en obtenir grand chose, mais avant qu’il m’envoie chez l’yâble, j’ai pu en tirer suffisamment pour déduire que cela viendrait d’une vieille rixe avec Constantin et qu’il est persuadé qu’Adelphe s’est rangé dans son camp. J’ignore sur quoi la querelle portait, j’ignore qui avait tort (et vu son caractère de cochon, je suis prêt à reconnaitre les torts de mon père sans problème). Il est trop fier pour s’excuser ou faire le premier pas. J’espère que ton père et ton oncle sont moins idiots que lui…

franco's brazil onboard: back at it (last transcript and final thoughts)

[lap 31]

gaetan: and now, when possible, try to push PU load, that's for PU 10, obviously no mistake. i know it's hard.

[overcorrecting like crazy, full opposite lock 4-5 times each in turns 9 and 10]

gaetan [turn 12]: and do you think you would want any flap adjust in this condition, question?

franco: weyy, i don't know, i just cannot drive, i cannot…i cannot even go flat on the straights, so i don't think the flap will do much.

gaetan: copy. […] box box, box box. [very late call]

[franco says something but gaetan's talking over him, i couldn't catch it]

gaetan: watch out pit entry, watch out pit entry. you're crossing SC1 for the first time, box box.

[franco pits]

gaetan: ease in, box, slippery. second gear. all the brakes.

[franco leaves pits]

[lap 32]

gaetan: okay, [car noises] pit, so we just have more temperature on this set, let's try to retain as much as we can. basically what happen now is that next time runnng to SC1, you're gonna be free to push more, you don't have to respect the delta. so right now you're still keeping delta positive up to SC1. we'll come back to you. let's clear pit exit.

franco: oh my god.

[oversteering, wobbling, saving - turns 9-12. finally loses it, crashing in turn 13]

gaetan [right as he crashes]: okay, doing great for the temperature, next time you cross SC1, you're free to increase pace. bearman, first car ahead of you, is at turn 1. what you're doing to try to generate temperature is--

dunno what kind of lag there was, but in the playback, gaetan spoke for probably 10 more seconds after the crash. not sure if radio was killed, or malfunctioned, or if both of them were just silent after that.

[no more radio from either side]

i'm guessing they pitted him the second time because he couldn't keep the tire temperatures up. but lordy, i've never heard of a team pitting a driver simply for warmer tires. they lose temperature so fast, it genuinely doesn't matter how hot they are in the pit lane. he was basically doomed after that stop. it was so bloody stupid.

(i encourage others to go back and listen themselves! especially right after the second pit stop, since i couldn't make out what gaetan said for the life of me)

When I get into foreign media, one of the first things I do is study the names. Because being a nerd is fun.

My friend is writing extremely good Untamed fanfic, so I've spent the last week trying to figure out how to pronounce Mandarin. And then, despite the fact that y'all can just LISTEN to the show to hear the pronunciation, I decided to share my new knowledge.

I'm a historical linguist (I study how languages might have been spoken in the past) so I'm also including how these names might have been pronounced in Middle Chinese (4th-12th C).

We don't know exactly how things were pronounced then. But this story is set in vaguely historical fantasy China, so I want it to have some vaguely historical names.

Explanation of the symbols afterwards.

[a-concert-just-for-me]

I've been fascinated by music boxes ever since I was a wee tot, but never got one because I thought they could only play one melody. After learning about punch cards from the early days of computing (and more advanced looms), I decided to try making a music box based on a punch card. (I tried this, never to any great success, several times in elementary and middle school. This once included a robot for a science class)

I have heard RUMORS that you can speak on music boxes for upwards of an hour. Do tell, do tell. I am very curious and captivated 😇

I don’t really know anything about the history of music boxes (I’m such a fake fan! /j), but I do enjoy making them. It’s been a long journey of trial and error to figure out the most efficient way to do it, but I’m pretty sure I finally have my own process down now :)

Infodump under the cut

So! You want to make a music box, huh?

(This is where you say omg yasss girl that sounds like so much fun!!!)

Oh wow, very cool! I am happy to teach this class.

Well, of course to start, you will need a music box. Here are the options of programmable (well, with paper strips) music boxes.

Kikkerland 15

Grand Illusions 20/Murobox 20

Wintergatan 20 (custom)

Grand Illusions 30

Murobox 40

To explain the types of music boxes:

The first part is the brand name, then the number is how many notes they have. I’m only familiar with a few of them.

Fun facts:

1. Muroboxes are music boxes that you can program from your phone. They’re really cool, but super expensive! I’ll stick to my way, haha

2. There is a 60 note option on musicboxmaniacs ‘create’ tool (I’ll talk more on that site in a min), but there isn’t actually a 60 note programmable music box out there. It’s just for fun.

3. The boxes I have are the Kikkerland 15 and the Grand Illusions 30. I’ll explain more about them.

Kikkerland 15

Honestly I never use this guy. It’s 2 octaves, C scale (unless it’s transposed; I’ve never looked into it—more on transposed boxes in a second). No sharps or flats. Very limited in what you can do with it. But it’s very cute :3

Grand Illusions 30

Okay, here’s where things get goofy. So, this one is 3 octaves, and the strips are written in the key of C.

OR *ARE* THEY?

Actually, for some reason, the box is actually in the key of F!

(That means that if you were to punch the note of C on the music box strip, it would actually play an F!)

Here’s a scale I did of what the music box strips say:

And here’s what the actual notes are:

So how do you know how to write the music if the notes don’t match what the box plays???

Well, we have two options!

1. You could write it using the C scale and let the music box transpose it to the key of F for you (still sounds good most of the time)

2. Or if you want an exact 1:1 transcription, you could write the music using the F scale from the get-go. I usually use this option unless I intuit that a song would sound better transposed instead/it’s easier to write that way

Okay, you have your options on what key to write in, now what?

1. You can use musicboxmaniacs.com’s ‘create’ tool (I used this for the longest time—very tedious) and download the strips from there

2. You can use a music notation software (I use Musescore!), convert the song into MIDI format, upload it to musicboxmaniacs.com, and download the strips from there.

3. (Or, if you’re a freak, you can eyeball it and do it by hand on the sheets that come with the box. Idk man I’m not a cop but seriously what is wrong with you)

Done! Now assuming you’re not a freak, how do you convert what’s on your computer to actual music box strips in real life?

1. You could print out the guide strips on copy paper and overlay them onto the strips that come with the box (I think?) OR just glue it on top of a bunch of other pieces of paper until you get the right thickness. And then with either method, punch out where the ‘x’s are.

2. Or you can be galaxy-brained and let a cricut machine do it for you

Yes, you heard that right!!! A machine can punch all the holes for you!!! Someone made a python code that will convert DXF files to SVG files! Then you can put the SVG files into the cricut design space and print them!

I have a video on it here:

EDIT: there was a video here but I realized I accidentally doxxed myself in it 😆 I need to go back and edit it lmao

It’s just a tutorial on how to convert DXF files to SVG files, and then how to use the SVG files in the cricut design space to print out music box sheets

“Okay,” you say, “I followed the video…That’s cool and all…but what materials do I use? Your video seems a bit outdated and doesn’t even have a second part…”

YOU’RE RIGHT, IT IS, and I surely did not end up making that second part, lol. Let me remedy that.

After tons and tons and tons of trial and error, I’ve figured it out. My first method involved using posterboard, which kind of worked, but always made the songs stutter and stop.

Finally, I had the huge-brain revelation that it wasn’t a mechanical issue with my box like I’d thought for so long—the paper just wasn’t thick enough!!!

So now, the best combo I’ve found is this:

1. 12x12 Cricut mat

2. 2 pieces of 12x12 paper (thick ones!)

3. Elmers craft bond stick glue

4. Scotch tape

5. A scraper tool

Directions

1. Glue 2 pieces of 12x12 paper together. I use scrapbook paper, as it comes perfectly in that size! I usually do a pretty design on top, then a boring white on the bottom, as not to waste my pretty paper. But yeah, two pieces of that scrapbook paper glued together is the perfect thickness.

2. Let dry under something heavy.

3. Put the paper pretty-side-down onto a standard grip cricut mat

4. Tape down the edges of the paper onto the mat so that it doesn’t move at all during the cutting process (needs to be precise!)

5. Use a deep cut (cardstock+ is what I use)

6. Plug in your machine and let it do its thing!

7. When it’s done, remove the mat. Peel off the music box strips one by one, making sure to label them on the ugly side according to the order they’re in. This will save you soooo much confusion later

8. Poke out any holes that didn’t get cut all the way

9. Tape your strips together in the right order (make sure that if there are any holes that fall under your tape, to re-punch them!)

10. Test out your strips in the box! If it sounds like there are missing notes, make sure to go back and make sure they’re all punched all the way through/no tape is blocking them

11. Now that you have your beautiful song, you have to clean up your mess. Use a scraper tool to scrape allllllll the annoying little punched-out paper bits into the trash.

13. Now you’re all done! Put your stuff away and think about your next project lol

Thank you for the ask <3

Can you tell me about Louis de Vegobre and his possible relationship with Laurens and Kinloch?

Sure! Others will certainly know more, but here’s a little of what I’ve pulled together about these three.

Louis Manoel de Vegobre was a Swiss lawyer and intellectual who befriended Laurens during his time as a student in Geneva. He tutored Laurens in mathematics, and in return Laurens taught de Vegobre English. Kinloch arrived Geneva in May 1774, and although they only spent a few months together there (Laurens left in July 1774), they quickly formed a close-knit circle, studying and socialising together, and mingling with other English students and eminent Genevan scholars and scientists. 

There is little written correspondence from that time, as there was no need to write letters to those who lived so close. But it is evident from Laurens’ letters after his departure that he loved his time in Geneva, in large part because of the relationships he had built there - he writes to Kinloch on 23 August 1774 that “I dont know when I shall get into such a valuable Set of Acquaintance as I have left”. 

Whether all of this remained purely platonic, in the style of romantic friendship, or extended into homoerotic or even homosexual realms, is impossible to prove definitively - but there is a good deal of evidence that the three of them were more than “just friends”.

For one, they mingled with figures who were known to have homosexual inclinations. Among these was Swiss historian Johannes von Müller (himself at the centre of a web of queer figures, including Swiss writer Karl Viktor von Bonstetten), who was known for his homoerotic love letters and, per Rictor Norton, “always travelled with young male companions, and even set up house together in the Alps with the American Francis Kinlock [sic]”.  They stayed together in Chambésy in 1775, which presumably is what Laurens is referring to, with evident longing, in his letter to Kinloch on 10 March 1775:

Mr. Boon has communicated your plan of spending the summer with Vegobre in some convenient retreat in Switzerland, a plan which I should of all things like myself, and which I dare to say you will find great benefit from. 

What three young men of a certain persuasion might get up to in the privacy and safety of an alpine retreat I will leave to your imagination.

Side note on Müller and Kinloch - in 1802/3, Müller was involved in a homosexual scandal, after a former pupil faked love letters to him from a made-up admirer, to which Müller responded with equal (and damning) fervour. The ensuing scandal cost Müller his fortune. He writes a letter to Kinloch on 12 May 1803, explaining his dire situation, to which Kinloch responds:

L'idée de ce qui aurait pu arriver à cette extreme nocturne me fait frémir - Vous souvient il, cher ami, du commencement do notre liaison à Geneve? My transcription: The idea of ​​what could have happened at this nocturnal extreme makes me shudder - Does it remind you, dear friend, of the beginning of our affair in Geneva?

Clearly, the mention of the scandal was a reminder to Kinloch of whatever they may have gotten up to twenty years prior.

In Laurens’ absence from Geneva, Kinloch and de Vegobre remained close, and all three of them wrote to and about each other using expressions of deep love and affection, expressing a desire for contact and closeness - which, to me, often veers into the romantic.

Here are some examples, in chronological order:

My beloved, my dearest friend is Kinloch […] Let me say again: Kinloch is my beloved, my dearest friend. […] You have began to make me feeling how hard it is to see the departure of a man to whom one’s heart is addicted

Louis de Vegobre to John Laurens, 24 December 1774

I would be wrong to hide from you that I was upset at you [but now I want to] occupy myself only with the pleasure I had upon seeing that your heart is without fault, and that you have maintained the same sentiments towards me that you expressed to me when you left Geneva. […] Permit me to remark to you that [a time of adversity] is where we know our friends, and that it is here (I dare say) that you will see that the attachments of my heart are not a light bond formed by pleasure which does not last beyond it. […] You congratulate me on my friendship with Kinloch, oh how right you are to congratulate me! What an excellent man! What a friend I have in him! […] I repeat that I am entirely at your service & that I responded very sincerely and very deeply to the feelings that you have expressed for me. 

Louis de Vegobre to John Laurens, 18 October 1775

You and I may differ my Dear Kinloch in our political Sentiments but I shall always love you from the Knowledge I have of your Heart.

John Laurens to Francis Kinloch, 12 April 1776

we hold too fast by one anothers hearts, my dear Laurens, to be afraid of exposing our several opinions to each other […] Be certain that I never shall forget you

Francis Kinloch to John Laurens, 28 April 1776

that Letter & the pretty gift that you attached are very agreeable marks of your friendship […] I learnt that I was loved & esteemed by you as much as I could have desired […] I am much persuaded, my Dear, that if we could live together our mutual happiness would be augmented; especially when I think of the calamities that surround you, I would desire to be close to you, to witness your fortitude and to offer you the relief of my friendship […] I saw this morning our friend Kinloch: what shall I tell you of him which you don’t already know? […] I regard it is as one of the joys of my life to have become his friend.

Louis de Vegobre to John Laurens, 7 June 1776

And after Laurens’ blistering letter to Kinloch about their differing political views, Kinloch seemingly responds with hurt and offence, which Laurens tries to smooth over with a reaffirmation of his feelings:

I have no Copies of what I write, and therefore can’t be exactly sure of all the Expressions which I used in my Letter, this I am persuaded of that there was nothing in it that could be construed to throw any Imputation upon the Qualities of your Heart on account of the side you took in our political Dispute […] It was from the great Opinion I had of your Heart that I first wish’d to form a Friendship with you, it is from the great Opinion that I still have of it, that I am exceedingly desirous of cultivating and improving that Friendship […] I still think your political principles wrong, the Sentiments which you have adopted with respect to your own Country strike me with horrour, and I hope you’ll change them_ but I am persuaded you think they are right and your Heart with me is unimpeached_

John Laurens to Francis Kinloch, 30 September 1776

Ferrari Driver Strategy Radio Chat

This is the masterpost seing as the official broadcast only shares select radios.

if you want the "full" transcript it's available here for one whole week. (if the link is already expired just lmk and I can send it to you) the file is not super pretty but honestly I am so done with this

The following is an overview/summary of their involvement in the strategy in races so it's mostly the parts that are strategy related. Some races are more in depth than others but how much happened just varied a lot.

I am happy if I never have to see this again so I have decided to only post it here. Because I was asked about it: if any of you want to post it elsewhere you have my permission to do so. I just personally can't be arsed.

TLDR: They both talk about an equal amount amount about strategy and especially Charles just is not listened to. And there is not much difference in how they voice their opinions. And it is very much not a situation where only one of them has good strategy ideas.

There is more radio chat with Carlos in general but the vast majority of that is about specific turns. They talks a similar amount about strategy.

Another fun tidbit is that Charles has been telling Xavi to shut up in the corners since Bahrain.

[aejiee]

hi! you asked for marauders fic recs so im here to give you some :)

idk if you’ve read these or any yet, so they might seem kinda basic. they’re just to introduce you to this world/the characters. i wish i had a list like this when i first got into the marauders fandom ngl

also these are only gonna be marauders era fics, if you want golden trio era fics as well, i can give you some!

anyway:

all the young dudes by mskingbean89 (completed, 527k words, wolfstar & jily): this is THE marauders fic for most ppl, and i just think of it as what happened canonically. no fic is perfect, but this should be every1’s first marauders era fic imo (you might’ve read this already cuz it’s SO popular). its from remus’ pov and it follows him throughout hogwarts and until (i think) poa or ootp

the wolf’s tail by myheadsgonenumb (wip, 457k words, no ships yet but prob wolfstar & jily): this one’s pretty underrated imo, and it’s SO WELL WRITTEN!!! this also follows remus throughout hogwarts. however id say the diff between this and atyd is that (so far at least) it focuses more on the war side of the marauders era, even when they are still young and at hogwarts. so if you’re interested in how actually dark and dangerous the times were back then, even for children, you will like this one! the only thing ill say for this is that its kinda very descriptive at points (ex. there’s a lot of newspaper clippings, book quotes, interview transcripts etc) but you can just gloss over them if you think they’re not that important. rn i think their 5th year just started, so keep that in mind (its gonna be a long one)!

the cadence of part-time poets by motswolo (completed, 980k words, wolfstar & jily): AAAAAAHHHH this one is my ALL TIME FAV (marauders era) FIC <33333 this is a muggle au, so no magic! this is also a remus pov (😭) and he goes to hawkings (which is basically hogwarts) in his (i think??) 4th year? or younger? smt like that :,). this fic also has my fav oc (tomny) hehe. as the tags say, its a band fic/au, but i’ll spoil no more!

the making of the map by fox_pitch (completed, 79k words, wolfstar & jily): this is a shorter one, but its also rlyyy good. pretty sure this starts and ends in their sixth year, but as the title suggests, its how the marauders map come to exist! its also how wolfstar gets together and its very cute and wholesome. the ending is kinda ambiguous in the sense that it doesn’t give any hints as to if anything changes in this fic’s universe’s future, but id assume not.

choices by messermoon (completed, 624k words, jegulus, wolfstar & jily): i kinda assumed you wanted the “canon” ships (aka jily and wolfstar) but if you’re interested in jegulus (james potter/regulus black) then this one is prob for you. i personally haven’t finished this fic, but ik its a jegulus classic/canon, just like atyd is for jily (& wolfstar). this one follows james, and it doesn’t start on his first year i think. it has alternating povs as well! however, as the tags warn, it is canon compliant, aka reg dies in the end, so do w that what you will :,)

only the brave by solmussa (completed, 646k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, rosekiller & pandalily): this is another jegulus fic! it has started being considered a classic and if you read it, you’ll understand why. this also does not start from their first year, and this one also has alternating povs! i love the writing and just general concept/plot of this one; i don’t love jegulus but i was still HOOKED w this fic, so yes. its rly good. and as you can see w the tags, this is a happy ending (aka, reg lives)!!!!! mwah love those.

art heist, baby! by otrbs (completed, 219k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, alice/frank longbottom - idk their ship name): i also have not read this fic, but ive only heard good things about it (and some sobs but that’s what you get for “major character death” : ) )! i know the ending of it tho, and it is kinda sad, so prepare yourself. it is a muggle au, and they basically wanna pull an art heist? yup lets go w that simple explanation.

that’s it for now bahhaha, and its a LOT, so enjoy! if you want shorter ones, i also have some i can show you, and if you’ve read these, lmk if you like them! <3

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏 Ur my savior bro. I'm abt to finish ATYD and I started reading The Making of the Map per your suggestion because it was short enough to download a pdf to read in class 💀💀 I really like both of them!! I need to psych myself up to read some of the 500k+ fics tho bc atyd took me so long 😭😭😭 I'll let you know how I find the rest of them ^^ TYY!!!

Automne 1926 - Champs-les-Sims

3/3

J'espère pouvoir t'annoncer une bonne nouvelle sous peu, et qui sais, peut-être que cela te fera plaisir car tu ne pense pas (comme Antoine), que j'ai en quelques sortes gâché ma vie. J'ai été surprise, car de tous mes proches, c'est sans doute lui qui l'a pris le plus mal. Papa a estimé que j'étais un peu jeune pour déjà me marier, mais il n'a pas insisté quand je lui ai dit que c'était mon souhait.

J'ai heureusement pu rencontrer mes petites soeurs ! Elles sont adorables, surtout Julienne, et elles se ressemblent autant que Cléo et moi. C'est vraiment étrange de les voir et de constater que mes propres enfants auront sensiblement le même âge.

Je voulais conclure en revenant sur ce que tu mentionnais à propos de vos problèmes financiers. Par expérience, je sais que ce n'est pas facile à admettre comme genre de problème. Je suis flattée que tu te confies à moi et je veux que tu saches qu'en cas de besoin, je peux y pourvoir. Je ne pense pas me vanter ou être impudente en affirmant que les affaires familiales vont assez bien pour entretenir le nouveau foyer de mes parents à Alexandrie, les chambres d'Antoine et Cléo à Paris, le pensionnat de Jean-François ou encore les besoins de Sélène (en tous cas jusqu'à son mariage). Sache que tu n'as qu'à demander.

Je te souhaites le meilleur,

Ta cousine, la nouvellement nommée Arsinoé Le Bris de Chastel

P.S. Vois-tu, je porte une particule désormais ! Je pense que si notre ancêtre commun en était témoin, il ne le croirait pas.

Transcription :

Arsinoé « Antoine. Je comprends tes inquiétudes. Mais tu n’étais pas là. Il fallait que je réagisse rapidement. »

Marc-Antoine « Pourquoi tu ne m’a pas appelé ? Nous aurions trouvé une solution tous les deux… Tu sais que je suis là, que tu peux me demander ce que tu veux et que j’aurais fait n’importe quoi... »

Arsinoé « Tu n’aurais rien pu faire. Il faut que tu acceptes que cette fois-ci, tu ne pouvais rien pour moi. Tu ne m’as ni trahie, ni laissée tomber. Sans compter que la situation aurais pu être pire. Cette solution est idéale, même si elle ne te convient pas. »

Marc-Antoine « C’est juste que voir Grand-Mère jubiler à ce point, ça m’a mis tellement en colère. »

Arsinoé « Mais pourquoi ? »

Marc-Antoine « Je… ça ne semblait pas bien. C’est ta vie, pas la sienne. »

Arsinoé « Antoine… Accepte qu’il n’y avait pas d’autre solution. Tu sais, nous avons discuté avec Ange. Longuement. De toute ce qui allait se passer, de ce que nous voulions tous les deux. Nous sommes satisfaits. »

Marc-Antoine « Alors… C’est vraiment ce que tu veux ? »

Arsinoé « Oui, vraiment. Mais de toute façon, ce serait un peu tard pour renoncer. J’aurais pu te le dire si tu m’avais parlé avant plutôt que de bouder comme un enfant jusqu’à la cérémonie. »

Marc-Antoine « Pardon... »

Marc-Antoine « Et maintenant ? »

Arsinoé « Maintenant ? Je vais retourner à mon travail jusqu’à ce que je sois trop fatiguée, puis je prendrai de longues semaines de repos dans le jardin d’hiver jusqu’à la naissance. Et après, je commencerai ma vie de mère. Et toi alors ? »

Marc-Antoine « Et bien… Je vais retourner à Paris terminer l’école. Puis je reviendrai ici le plus tôt possible. Pour Aurore bien sur, mais aussi parce que Kleber et Raoul veulent créer une liste communiste pour la mairie et que je pense saisir ma chance. Avec mes connaissances à Paris, je vais gagner une vraie légitimité. »

Arsinoé « Avec un tel programme, tu seras député avant trente ans. »

Marc-Antoine « N’exagère rien ! Mais je pense qu’il faut faire une différence, se battre pour ses convictions. Et t’épauler bien sur. Il ne sera jamais dit que je laisse tomber ma grand-sœur, jamais ! C’est ce que Grand-Père Maximilien a toujours fait, veiller sur sa famille, et je vais prendre le relai. »

Arsinoé « Alors c’est formidable ! Tous les enfants Le Bris vont suivre leur rêve. Oh, ne me regardes pas comme ça, je m’incluais dans le lot ! »
