I am a little confused over congés payés for part-time staff. They can choose to have 10% additional at the end of the year instead of actually taking ( the equivalent of 2.5 days per month ) holiday hours/days ( which given they work 6-12 hours per week seems daft ). They prefer to make up any hours they miss as they are on flexible hours anyway. Is that right? Which mean they are effectively working 10% more, and being paid, than their "contracted" hours. I read through the gov.fr and other docs but still not quite clear.

Never realised the S was that revered!

Trying to contact Patrick from the now closed store , British guy , I lost the tiny piece of paper with his email last Xmas travelling. Pls ask to DM if you know him ( it’s about a job ).

Bought a broken S3 which I fixed - very happy - nice machine. The guy threw in a 2 , those kits to make it 2+ are not available. Should I just sell for parts ? I only print clips, brackets and stuff for my artworks, things around the house so should I spend the time to get the 2 up and running ?

Just say AI , or any other emerging phenomenon, fails after 5/10/15 years.

Would that equal an enormous net loss of wealth ?

Could that wealth literally evaporate in the millions of trashed machines and as the heat of the circuits driving this particular branch of our society’s evolution ?

What is the relative value of AI and related industries versus the economy as a whole ?

Prob not gonna happen , just curious.

Fads do come and go ..

Any Brits worked out how to get in and out of Schengen faster with their Monaco or France cartes de séjour?

Twice so far I’ve been grilled , but not been forced to do photo / fingerprints so far.

Went through EU channel at Amsterdam , which rejected my passport of course , but then straight to a booth where I was questioned and let through.

The queue for EES was 300 deep.

The first time ( CDG ) I was told to queue with EES but then let through with no biometric checks.

I will try the EU way again next time.
