All the gear, no idea?

None in Brittany either! This is a bad sign

I just have them speak my name. Lived in France for 12 years now and not 1 has got it right.

I know, but my point is that sort of parent has no desire to do so.

Is the sort of parent who gives a 5 year old their own phone going really going to a limit the use? I think the crossover in that Venn diagram is pretty small.

The problem is that the french workers going on strike has basically become a meme. Look at Canteloup's Monsieur Regis character. SNCF go on strike for fun and no one really knows why.

The last major strikes were because of the retirement age raising to 62. The rest of the world looked on and thought "I'd love to retire at the age you are all complaining about". Hell, I don't even WANT to retire at 62! What will I do with myself?

Fun fact:

I went to a private school where some of the teachers were freemen of the city of London. Apparently, they could request that tower bridge be raised. None of them ever tried, but I believe it is some weird legacy law. They also had the right to drive their sheep across London Bridge, but that one has burnt down, burnt down, burnt down.

Had project manager at previous job the same. Worked about 3" from his screen. He was the proof that a good project manager is worth their weight in gold though. Guy was absolutely brilliant.

What you have just described could be ZigBee and/or MQTT.

It should be an option for those outside the top 1%. Let's be honest, plenty of jobs suck and a lot of people who look after a children professionally are not the brightest sparks in the fire (at least where I am). Why should someone be forced to do a crap job then give all that salary to someone less cultures than the to look after their kids. Why not just do it themselves?

If one of you has a good, full-time job that should cover basic living expenses. It should also not be looked down. My wife is a stay at home mum, she is also a feminist and I certainly did not not force her to to work. The only thing we regret is the way people (especially other women but not only) look down on her.

Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can't remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used "Hick" for my language.
