In Québec, we say "avoir les deux yeux dans l'même trou," to say that we are very tired, it translates to "having the two eyes in the same hole."

I love that expression.

@rek oublie pas avoir les yeux dans la graisse de bine aussi :P

@GustavinoBevilacqua thank you for mentioning that dictionary! lost the link at some point, and have been looking for it for ages

@khawla

If you are using Firefox you can even add the CNRTL to the list of search engines directly available from the search box.

@GustavinoBevilacqua oh yeah I remember that option. although I am immediately worried about it feeding some ai **** though

@khawla

I don't know if the latest versions of Firefox will send to some AI the words typed in the search box.

I hope not.

@GustavinoBevilacqua and things work normally in the browser? I did stop updating at some point when I knew that they were introducing/forcing bad stuff (softwares/systèmes d'exploitation .. in general) but I don't know I guess I screwed up and just went "f** it" at some point, maybe they'll slow down with their bs at some point ... lol.
re: things not working normally: because without updating ios on ipad for instance, some sites don't work
maybe I will go back to an earlier version (time to

research what it entails is always the obstacle)

@khawla

Some things don't work.

I declare them "uninteresting" and check elsewhere.

@GustavinoBevilacqua 😄
I wish I could do it easily all of the time. but at least I do it some of the time right now
