The amazing thing about the TGV is it is so quiet - not only the train but also the passengers. None of the endless chatter, “see it say it sorted” announcements, ppl watching music videos on speaker or cackling as they get ready for a night out you get on a Pendolino. Civilised rail travel.

Trump has successfully raised US inflation to 4.2%.
Congratulations!
How did he do it:
1. The war against Iran (as dumb as it gets).
2. Tariffs (dumb all the way).
3. Excessive budget deficit for no macroeconomic reason with unemployment at 4.3%
Dumbest president ever.

They come from Roman Egypt, mostly dating from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE.
Painted on wooden panels, many were placed over the faces of mummified bodies, giving the dead an astonishingly life like presence.
