In French, baguette means "long stick". The bread name comes from this meaning, as it is a long, thin kind of bread :) We also call drum sticks "baguette", as well as anything wooden, long and thin, like a conductor baton or a magic wand!

I'd call it a "baton", because it's bigger

I understand why Caledonians don't like the bill, but to answer your questions: yes, they can vote for the French Government, as they are by law French Citizen (as well as Caledonian Citizen, in opposition to someone living in Marseille which only gets the French citizenship and no Provençal citizenship, for instance) They also have a higher autonomy than other French region or department (imo it's a good thing as they definitely have quite a different situation than metropolitan France regions)

I understand that this situation can look colonial-ish to outsiders, but according to the last referendum, a big majority of Caledonian people wishes to stay French. And they are full French citizens. This is a protest like those in Paris, against our (shitty?) gouvernement, not a protest for independence, afaik

Unless you're in a country/state with no VAT/sale taxe, the child will inevitably pay taxes.

Obviously not dismissing your experience, just adding my own : I tried it recently on a big game that was installed on my SO desktop, and it worked great. Just had to activate the feature on both Steam instances, restart Steam, and then I enjoyed a superfast "download" speed, that was mainly bottlenecked by my drive speed and even sometimes by my computer's ethernet port limit!

Ok, as always with layers, I might misunderstand something, but I believe the creature would stay a 1/5 with a +1/+1 counter (not even a 2/5)

From what I understand:

  • 7c is the layer where the power-changing continuous effects take place
  • 7d is the layer where counter-based power changing occurs

So your ability applies at 7c, and probably can't ever see counters

Why ever? Well, again if I understand correctly, layers check resets everything each "loop". This is why blood moon still applies when you remove its rule text, because each layer check, it applies the type change before the ability removing, rendering the abiliy removing effectively useless

This doesn't apply when this kind of effect are resolved (trigger, activation and cast), because every layers where already checked before, as the effect is not using the layers itself.

I'm not from the US, but according to this source, only Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon don't have sale taxes. Which means, if I'm not mistaken, that at most only about 2.5% of the US population can realistically never pay taxes (percentage of us pop. per states from Wikipedia)

Am French, can confirm, gendered languages (there are lots of these!) would probably be better without them... But eh, languages in general are not known to be logical and practical. And English is not an exception!

We can use "perche à selfie", perche being a very long baton, itself being a big stick!

Yeah but according to the wiki the cooldown is 10 seconds, and according to the replay chat, there was 9 seconds between the 3rd and 4th kill

No, sorry, I'm actually French so I would not really have use for these

I know that for English, subscribing to various EN youtube channels helped me a lot, but obviously you need some base level to understand enough of it for it to be useful

Also, I think learning how to write French is wayyy harder than learning to listen, read or even speak French, so I'd advise against really trying to be able to write, and focusing more on the 3 other aspects.

If you have French-related questions, feel free to pm me :)

It's true, at least in French. Because we "concord" (I'm not sure of the translation there) adjectives with the noun, it means that we can understand which adjectives is linked to which noun on complex sentences. Same with some determiners and articles.

A basic example: "Un abricot et des pommes juteuses" (An apricot and some juicy apples) Because in French adjectives comes after the noun, it could apply to either only the apples, or both fruits. But since apricot is masculine, apple is feminine, and "juteuses" is the feminine version of the adjective, we know it applies only to the apples.

But honestly? This feature is not THAT important imo. And it makes gendered languages so much more difficult to learn, even as a native speakers sometimes I misgender some words I'm not used to use.

And my example doesn't even work if both fruits are the same gender, so it's not like it is a critical feature of the language!
