A quotation from Montaigne

Men have seemed miraculous to the world, in whom their wives and valets have never seen anything even worth noticing. Few men have been admired by their own households.

[Tel a esté miraculeux au monde, auquel sa femme & son valet n’ont rien veu seulement de remerquable. Peu d’hommes ont esté admirez par leurs domestiques.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 3, ch. 2 “Of Repentance [Du repentir]” (1586) (3.2) (1595) [tr. Frame (1943)]

⚡️SUIVI - Interrogé sur le cas de la candidate #RN aux législatives qui a commis une prise d’otage armée en 1995, le médiatique policier Matthieu #Valet, député européen RN, relativise en expliquant que cette dame était « désespérée ». (déclaration sur BFMTV)

Yles politikreporter Marianne Sundholm listar tre punkter om EU-valet:

1. Segraren är självklar: Samlingspartiet

2. Stora frågetecken kring flera partier

3. SFP:s mandat hänger verkligen på håret

Another line of questioning on p.50 of #Trump’s #valet’s transcript:

A: …I just remember hearing stuff like, why are we still not sending out a tweet…. Q: Do you remember who was saying things like that in the White House? A: It was just the group. Q: And those types of comments, those questions were being asked to the President or said in front of the President. Is that right? A: Yeah. Yes, sir.

From #Trump’s #valet’s transcript p.49:

What Trump did when he found out #AshliBabbitt had been shot.

A: I remember seeing that in front of him, yeah. Q: Do you remember the President's reaction when he received this note? A: No. I mean, I just remember seeing it in front of him. I don't remember how it got there or whatever. But there was no, like, reaction. I mean, I couldn't tell you how long that's been sitting in front of him. But I do remember seeing that in front of him. Q: Do you remember any discussions, overhearing anything, about the fact that somebody had been shot inside the U.S. Capitol? A: The only thing I could just remember off it is just seeing it on the TV. Q: I'll represent to you that that happened. Ashli Babbitt was shot in the U.S. Capitol around 2:44 p.m. Was that at all, in your understanding, a motivator for the President to issue that tweet that comes out next and we just looked at at 3:13? Do you remember the fact of a shooting in the Capitol having any role in the President's later statement?

[start p.50] A: That being a factor? I'm not sure. I just remember them, because at that point, everyone was sending out tweets. And it just - it was just, he was still probably the biggest person that still hasn't sent out a tweet. I think that's what they were trying to get at. I don't know if the shooting of Ashli Babbitt was the motivator to finally send out the tweet. I can't put that together.

“I just remember seeing it in front of him,” the #valet said of a note card given to #Trump bearing news of the #casualty as he watched the riot on TV. “I don’t remember how it got there or whatever. But there was no, like, reaction.”

…the valet was asked if he remembered “any comments that the president or anybody around him made w/ respect to those chants, ‘Hang Mike Pence.’ ”
He answered that he recalled the refrain, “but I don’t remember any comments from the president or anybody on staff.”

The threat from #Trump to his VP, #MikePence, was clear & direct: If you defy my effort to overturn the #2020election by certifying the results, your future in #Republican #politics is over.

“Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this,” Trump told #Pence by phone the morning of #Jan6 acc/to the WH #valet who was w/TFG for much of the day & told #Congress he’d overheard the conversation.

I am taking my time to set up my new MacBook Pro M3 Max (16/40 64GB).

After many years of using #Valet for all my #CraftCMS and #Laravel projects, I embrace #DDEV and many of its features from the start.

Together with #OrbStack, as the #DockerDesktop replacement, and the immense performance of the M3 Max, work feels like day and night. And all of this with a "cool" 43 degrees on all the cores and response times half of what I had on my old Intel MBP 2.8 Ghz.

⚡🇨🇵INFO - Le Canard enchaîné révèle que le médiatique syndicaliste policier Matthieu #Valet est visé par une procédure disciplinaire. L'intervenant régulier de CNews est accusé de s'être accaparé des bons d'achat destinés à plusieurs gardiens de la paix pour un montant d'environ 1.000€... "Fort en gueule et donneur de leçons, cet adepte de la méthode forte risque de finir devant le conseil de discipline", indique le palmipède...

Installed #Statamic with #Valet. I was a bit disappointed as I was getting loads of warning and nothing worked on the browser. Then realized that the folder name was used elsewhere, and that was the site giving all the warning. 30 minutes lost, but at least I won’t do that again… 🤣 Does valet have a checked for duplicated paths? First time Statamic user

It's hardly showroom condition, but it's a lot cleaner than it was. I even remembered to take the panniers off and clean them separately.

A horrible but necessary job. I'd much rather be spending my spare time riding it. Anybody know a good motorcycle valet in north-east England?

#motorcycle #cleaning #valet #northumberland

A large white BMW motorcycle, surrounded by damp ground. It's fairly clean, but don't look too close.
