Comment fait-on lorsque l'on a besoin de #Nutella pour soutenir son moral et qu'il est difficile d'y avoir accès (cher, car importé, et uniquement dans 2 grandes surfaces sur le pays) ? On cherche des produits locaux ou régionaux... Le cacao pousse sur la majorité de la sous-région, donc facile, mais les noisettes, faut oublier...

Localement, il existe une pâte à tartiner à base de cacao et de noix de cajou (sous le nom Gounou). Recette pas à mon goût.

"The best metric to know if someone is lying about future technology, look to see if they use the language of inevitableism to discuss the future. Doubt and skepticism are the marks of scientific rigour and engineering, when those are abandoned you're only left with charlatanism."

On this day in 1980, the South African government banned Pink Floyd's single 'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)' after Black children adopted the song as their anthem in protest against inferior education.

There's a famous story of Pablo Picasso.

He was enjoying a meal at a restaurant when a man interrupted him, handed him a napkin and asked:

“Could you sketch something for me? I'll pay. Name your price.”

Picasso took the napkin, pulled a charcoal pencil from his pocket and started sketching. Using only a few strokes, he drew a goat that was unmistakably a Picasso. He held it up for the man to see. The man smiled and reached to take the sketch. But Picasso withheld it.

La démission non datée préventive pour ne pas payer d'indemnité de précarité (et priver le salarié de ses indemnités chômage) ... !
Totalement illégal évidemment.
Que fait la Police (en l'espèce l'Inspection du travail) ?
Et les représentants du personnel de l'établissement concerné ou des établissements concernés devraient réagir immédiatement, ils ne peuvent pas ignorer ces pratiques et en tous cas maintenant ils sont au courant.
