And this is compounded by people living much longer...

Some organic stores in Europe have this option, but usually you have to use the paper bags they supply.

I've only ever used this brand:

Not sure you can find it outside of France though. I've heard good things about BabyFoot but can't vouch for it I'm afraid.

Look into foot peels. They usually contain salicylic acid. I didn't believe that alone would do anything but I'm now a convert. The aftermath is gross for a few days, but for a brief moment in time you'll have baby smooth feet. A few tips:

  • Obviously patch test to check you don't get a negative reaction
  • Soak your feet in warm water for about 10 mins before
  • Keep the foot peel socks on longer than it says on the packaging (if it says 60 mins, keep them on 90 min)
  • Put socks over the foot peel socks so the liquid reaches all the nooks and crannies.
  • Get comfortable and watch a movie or something while you wait
  • In the days following, soak your feet once a day for 5-10 mins. This speeds up the peeling time.
  • Wear socks and when you take them off, turn them inside out above a trash can.
  • Resist the urge to peel the skin off. This is the hardest step
  • Final step is to enjoy your smooth feet and look into repeating in a few months, especially if you have some very stubborn areas.

Hades - I haven't seen anyone list this one yet. It was the first roguelike/roguelite I ever played and it taught me that I don't like roguelikes/roguelites. It tried to like it, but it's just not for me. Luckily, son boy loves it so it's not a total waste.

True, though something tells me the choices will be controversial for a certain crowd......

I suspect they picked those so they wouldn't have to "pick favourites" among the different European monuments

L'expression des vaches est assez fréquente en France mais très vulgaire donc on ne l'utilise pas aussi souvent que pleuvoir des cordes par exemple.

The halberd expression I've only personally heard once from my wife who is a walking French expression generator. There's a new one every other day. I generally hear the rope expression used a lot more.

According to this expression it's "frequent" but no idea what that means: https://www.lesexpressions.fr/expression/il-tombe-des-hallebardes
