Similar design on the french version of this sign, but the lines do not cross. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_de_signalisation_de_...

[Asraelite → m_t]

Ironically I think this change in design makes it actually impossible, since now both lines appear to be tyre treads and they still come too close together.

[sen → Asraelite]

The treads can come close together if the rear wheels lock up and the car twists/drifts, but the pattern in the sign is still “practically” impossible. Eg I can’t think of any movement a car could realistically do to make that pattern except maybe if the driver pulled the handbrake on then the car was buffeted by a tornado in random directions.

We don’t know the perspective or the contours of the illustrated road well enough to say this. I could imagine some perspectives where this actually works out, especially if the tires are causing the vehicle to slide sideways.

You're thinking of Lascaux I believe.

[masklinn → m_t]

Kinda, the damage never happened to Chauvet because the preservators learned from Lascaux and Altamira: they did not open Chauvet to the public at all.

They did eventually open a huge replica cave which you can visit, the Caverne du Pont-d'Arc aka Chauvet 2.

and it's very nice to visit! Not too far also (from an US point of view :D ) is the cave Chauvet. The original is 37m underwater, but a replica opened few month ago in nearby marseille

Funny that, we had the same problem with an email from the agency that our landlord use to rent the place. The email was perfectly legit, with the usual attached PDF that you'd expect in those kind of communication.

There are plenty of "Story box" that exist now. Mixed Ng the advantages of an app and the tangibility of a real object. One example I know of: https://lunii.com/en-gb/

Cocotte id a pan with a lid, usually in cast iron. The Le Creuset are most likely the more well known one. They can be small or big.

The French Wikipedia article is clearer than the English one : https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocotte_(cuisine)

Note that a pressure cooker is called a Cocotte minute. Because it cooks quickly.

Cocotte is also a term that can be used for chickens or chicks, but that has nothing to do with cooking utensils.

[OJFord → m_t]

Oh ok, in (British) English I'd just call that a casserole. (Which per sibling comment from GGP I understand is not the same/more specific than a casserole in French.) So I suppose it's correct that it ends up at 'Dutch oven' (the predominantly American term for the same) on Wikipedia.

I'm afraid my French isn't up to reading a Wikipedia entry, which is why I asked (GGP linked the same article).

[shakow → OJFord]

> more specific than a casserole in French.

It's rather that they are false-friends: a french « casserole » is an english ‶sauce pan″ (the most vanilla cookware, a metal pot with a handle).

A cocote has typically more heat inertia (made of thick casted iron), is larger (so you can cook large pieces of meat in it) and thus far less handy.
