Is buying a used Renault ZoΓ© a good idea? Your experience with ZoΓ©.

I am looking into buying a cheapish used EV. Mostly because the current "prime Γ  a conversion" is available until the end of Jun. It's a governmental grant for acquiring a news or used low CO2-emmitting vehicle (EV or hybrid), if you give up an old ICE car; for a sum of 2500€.

The most affordable ones include a lot of ZoΓ©. Almost all of these come with rented batteries.

The ones I'm looking at are priced between 7500€ and 8500€, so minus the grant between 6000€ to 7000€. KilomΓ©trage is up to about 55,000km. The quoted range is 210km, which is enough for me. Edit: the 210km range is a hugely optimist estimate in optimal situations. I guess I'd better be looking for a 41 kW.h battery.

I estimate considering the vehicle buying cost and battery rental price, it could be a good solution for me. I have a few questions:

  • You own(ed) a ZoΓ©: what's your experience? How does it age? What's the reliability?
  • Why do you think people (or yourself) sell them? Bored? For a new EV?
  • What should I look at when test driving an EV and a ZoΓ© in particular?

We’ve all seen those names that are super common that there are 10 million of them in every class every year, but what about the ones you see once in a lifetime?

[Reference] LV ZoΓ© Wallet Black Empreinte Leather

Hi Repladies!

With the help of your posts and tips, I made my first purchase 2 weeks ago! I know how helpful reference posts are so I just wanted to post pictures for the LV ZoΓ© wallet in the black Empreinte leather for those that are interested!

I purchased it in Canada on September 2020 and have been using it daily ever since. I haven't conditioned it so this is what it looks like after 6 months of use. Just to note that I don't baby it and it's been everywhere with me. Overall I love this wallet and it's the perfect size for small purses, which are the majority of purses I own. I stuff it pretty full, 8 cards inside (2/slot) and on the outside I have a Tile wallet (2 card thick) and my Tesla card key.

The pictures are linked here. Let me know if you want any additional pictures! I tried my best to take a picture of the date code but its right at the corner and tricky to photograph.

Crazy theory about ZoΓ© might not be that crazy.

I think all the wild theories like ZoΓ© being daugher of Adrien and Marinette from the future, or Andrey and Gabriel are crazy. But they stucked in my head and my brain came with this instead of sleep. I am not sure, it is 80 % it is not true, but it can help with the plot, so why not make a theory?
Audrey Burgois was producer of movie Solitude where Emily played. (Gorizilla)
Audrey said in Style Queen she knew Gabriel before he was famous and he should be gratefull for that. This is the only time Audrey did something nice for someone and that person was Gabriel, so maybe?
Anyway, Gabriel needed to become famous to marry Graham de Vanily and maybe he wanted to mary Emily because this was the way to get the rings.
Gabriel was sure that putting Audrey in second row will make her perfect Akuma masterpiece. Maybe it was not the first time he put her in second row. Style Queen attacks Adrien instead of Gabriel. She doesn't remember who her daugher is but is very aware of Gabriel's son. Style queen puts Adrien in glass coffin like Snow White, and snow White was attacked by jealous step mother.

Learning something about Gabriel's past might make Adrien question his father and be interested in learning more. We need Adrien to learn more about his past and prepare himself for final confrontation with Hawkmoth. And this is the best thing about this theory. I am not that much interested in Burgois family drama, but the change that would bring this to Adrien might be more important. The biggest unknown is development of Adrien's story from now. Marinette's secret to big to carry it on her own was being Ladybud. This is not Adrien's case, he has no problem being Cat Noir, but being Gabriel's son is that problem. And now feel free to roast me for being uterly ridiculous.

Given recent attacks on healthcare workers, just a reminder to everyone to do a quick search of your name to see if any sites list your home address

I just looked up mine (Googled my name + current street) to find any sites that list my current address and found 3. Each of them has fairly easy ways of requesting removal, and I guess only one of them is a pain about it (blockshopper).

I have had a few contentious patient interactions recently and got freaked out by how easy it would be to find out where I live. Two of the sites also listed my current cell phone number and my parents' address and number. Fuck this shit.

She was born Stanley Ann Dunham. Her mother apparently was inspired by a character named Stanley played by Bette Davis in the film "In This Our Life", and thought that the name "Stanley" for a girl sounded sophisticated. She ended up going by her middle name, Ann.

I thought that was so fascinating! I like traditionally masculine names for girls (James, Wallace, etc.) but Stanley isn't really working for me. Just thought I'd share!!

Why do older men have the need to ask "is that your real name?" when they're given your nickname or the name you WANT to be called as?

I just got off the phone with an older guy who refused to accept my shortened name I go by versus my full name I refuse to go by (I'm FtM). Let's say my name was Ashley but I go by Ash.

When he asked what my name was I said "Ash." He said "Is that the name that's on your birth certificate?"

Why the FUCK does that matter? Guys aren't asked that - only women. And I've never gotten it from a woman - only older men. Always. Older. Men.

Why. Just stop. My name is "Ash." Not Ashley. And don't assume it's Ashley either. So rude.

Edit: I apologize I typed this in a hurry while on the bathroom because I was fuming. A few important details:

  • I work in the medical field. This conversation was done entirely over the phone.
  • My name wasn't important AT ALL to the conversation.
  • He asked me 3 times what my 'real name' was until he asked 'what does it say on your birth certificate?'
  • Prior to demanding what my true name was, he went on a tangent about his ex wife and how much of a horrible bitch she was - also not vital to the conversation at all.
  • I didn't mean to say every single guy on the planet was never asked their real name - but none of them have been asked like this.

Many hearing people that are learning ASL (including myself) aspire to reach a point where they are given a sign name. It is seen as a sign of acceptance and an honour to receive. Do Deaf individuals feel the same about giving one? Is it a "sacred" thing to give a hearing individual a sign name?

Just curious from the Deaf perspective.

Is it a special thing to appoint someone a sign name, or is it common place and all in the name of convenience? Just wondering if the other side sees it as an equal mark of importance or if the importance has been "romanticized" by the hearing side. Interested in your opinions. Thanks for your time.

what are common cat names given by French Natives?

i've been thinking of getting a cat last year and my dad has been bugging me since so i've been researching. long story short, back in 2018 i was pursuing chemistry from my first to the beginning of my third year. during this time, i was going through some of the darkest parts of my life. things started to turn up once i decided to switch to a french major (and this was difficult coming out to my family because my parents are immigrants and so telling them was hard but they were very supportive) WHICH WAS quite pivotal because it re-sparked my passion for not only school, but living in general.

anyways, when i get my cat i want to name it based on a French name to signify an important part of my life. in english we call our cats Paws, Mittens, Whiskers, Purr, etc. i was curious to know what Native French speakers think about when it comes to cat names. any suggestion would be great! i'm open to anything whether or not you are French, Native, etc. :-)

Edit: actually, PLEASE suggest any name, but the more unique the better + the meaning of the name if any :-) !

Some sort of official should have to approve the name given to a baby, before it becomes their legal name.

Otherwise, you have people fucking up their kid's future by naming them something like Bartholomew or X Γ† A-Xii. Imagine being bullied because your parents decided to name you something stupid. Or losing out on a job interview because the interviewer looked at your resume and saw your name is Bagpipe.

You think parents would have the common sense to not name their kid something that'll have people laughing at them, but nope. And yes, I know some names are illegal in some places, but it's usually only numbers in names that are illegal.

The Claremont serial killings is the name given by the media to a case involving the disappearance of an Australian woman, aged 18, and the killings of two others, aged 23 and 27, in 1996–1997. After attending night spots in Claremont, a wealthy western suburb of Perth, Western Australia, all three

When police swooped on an unassuming house in the semi-industrial Perth suburb of Kewdale in late 2016, it was immediately apparent this was no ordinary arrest.

It was a hot December day, three days before Christmas, and the police presence outside the modest fibro house was substantial.

A team of officers from the Tactical Response Group had swarmed on the property shortly after 7:00am and soon there were multiple police vehicles surrounding the area, including a large police forward command van parked out the front.

The police media unit was initially tight-lipped and journalists mused that it could be a big drug raid, perhaps linked to bikies?

Then came the news nobody was expecting β€” sources confirmed the raid was connected with the Macro Taskforce, the special unit set up to investigate the so-called Claremont serial killings of two decades previous.

Police raided the Kewdale house just before Christmas in 2016.

That case, the sudden disappearance of three young women late at night from the upmarket Claremont entertainment precinct in the city's wealthy western suburbs, traumatised the people of Perth and left a lingering stain the passage of time had failed to heal.

Two of those young women β€” 23-year-old Jane Rimmer and 27-year-old Ciara Glennon β€” were subsequently found murdered, their bodies discarded in bushland settings to the south and north of the city respectively, and only discovered by sheer chance.

The body of the third and youngest victim, 18-year-old Sarah Spiers, has never been found.

Now police had finally arrested a suspect, and it seemed incredible that the long-running case that many had assumed would never be solved, might finally be brought to a conclusion.

Tomorrow we will learn whether that is indeed the case β€” whether Bradley Robert Edwards, a 51-year-old telecommunications technician β€” is the the Claremont serial killer.

DNA strongest evidence

Edwards' murder trial is believed be the most expensive criminal trial in the state's history, spanning seven months and hearing evidence from more than 200 witnesses in person, as well as scores more who provided written statements to the WA Supreme Court.

Cost have already exceeded $11 million, and the evidence amassed total
