Can English speakers understand spoken French?
No, they can't. In fact most English speakers can't understand English when spoken by most French people either.

[Article] In 2015, George Lucas pulled a reverse gentrification in Marin County CA, building low-income housing as revenge for the rich residents blocking his movie studio project.
On one hand building affordable housing is a good thing, on the other hand I'm not quite sure how to feel about the rich using working class people 'as revenge'.

I can consider acceptable for the kettles to be connected to the internet if, and only if, they answer always with a 418 status code.

NASA scientists says astronauts should not masturbate in space
“Three female astronauts can be impregnated by the same man on the same session… it finds its way,” Smyth replied.
Not buying it at all... I'm not saying it's impossible but the odds must be astronomical (no pun intended) just for one pregnancy... not even in a million years. Life finds a way, I know, but come on!

The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months
interest payments on the debt are expected to exceed $1 trillion this year
If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests... I ain't no economist but that seems like a lot.

German punks launch ‘invasion’ of holiday island favoured by elite | Germany | The Guardian

It's true you don't see many punk women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for punk men.
And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no punk women, and that punks just spring out of holes in the ground!
Which is, of course, ridiculous.

I see people all the time who seem to go overboard
I don't have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that 'overboard' here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person's) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.

Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows
Reply in thread
Hard to say yet, if Microsoft is responsible or not. The thing is they certified it, as a stable and tested driver. But it isn't just a driver, but an interpreter/loader that loads code at runtime and executes it. In kernel mode. If Microsoft knew this they're definitely responsible for certifying it, but maybe crowdstrike hid this behavior until it was deployed to the customers.

There's no such a thing as 'middle class'. The working class is paying all of it.

For anyone wondering, it's tahini. Which I doubt is hiding in most of their target audience pantries, honestly.

TIL a single 25kg bag of flour now costs $1000 in Gaza.
Setting aside that none of this would be happening without Israel fuckery, this is a new low. Scalping literal humanitarian aid to resell at a thousand to your starving neighbors... 'Your children look quite like skeletons, you must be pretty desperate, so I'm rising the price!'. Fuck this world mate..

Science
Do you have a source for that? Because everything I've read says completely the opposite. The 'science' I'm aware of says that genetic tendency to aggression is very much a thing, even in humans.

Why are Stop Lines (in the US, at least) often set too far back to see any crossing traffic?
Others had pointed the reasons, I wanted to add that you have to stop at the line, and if something obstructs your sight (at stop signs, not traffic lights) you have to go a bit forward and stop again.

Boneless chicken wings can have bones, Ohio court rules
So 'boneless chicken wings' aren't really wings, and now they aren't boneless either.. I don't know if I'd trust the chicken part for much longer.
