But it isn't incongruent. Because Depardieu and Pierre were not honoured for, or, in-spite of their crimes. Their crimes were not public knowledge at the time of their inductions. Depardieu is probably going to be stripped from the Legion d'Honneur anyway, unless his appeal goes through. Pierre is dead, so cannot stand trial to be found guilty. Implying congruence supposes a direct knowledge, or tacet endorsement of those crimes.. So, it's not incongruent for Gisele to be inducted into Legion d'Honneur, because Depardieu and Pierre were not knowingly inducted for, or in-spite of their crimes. Which makes this irony, dressed up as an institutional failing, which it is not.

That's a lot of inference you're expecting people to make from : Legion d'Honneur has previously had inductees guilty of crimes that Gisele Pelicot testified against. Je ne sais pas, bro. I don't feel like anyone is calling for other highest honours in the land to be belittled, or that the list of previous recipients means anything in relation to the significance conveyed by those awards today. Just seems like "well akshually..." without any real point. Especially since Depardieu is awaiting an appeal for a crime, which if it fails, will have him stripped of his title and Pierre is dead. You cannot posthumously strip someone the title. So, it's much ado about nothing.

Yes and Jimmy Saville was Knighted, Roman Polanski has an Oscar and the inventor of leaded gasoline was awarded a Nobel Prize for his creation. What is your point exactly?

Road signs, like Stop signs, Yield signs. They all use lead as a primary ingredient, I think Chromium is the other metal they use. It's durable and the Matte-Metallic finish makes the sign easy to read in all lightings. You can still get lead as an additive to oil-based paints, but it's heavily restricted. You'd have to have a specific use case to import it, it's called flake white. Metal additives change the texture and reflective properties of the paint, lead is mostly swapped out for zinc and titanium now though.

Newspaper created just before the invasion, no physical copy, only posting online. Only through English, consumed primarily through American Online platforms and now has a presence on the fediverse. Nah mate, I'm not an Orc, I'm just not blind.

You have to cure tobacco, just like cannabis. You have to slow the end of the drying process to allow cells to continue to break down starches and chlorophyll.

Not True, that was the case with light water reactors, which were initially, only ever conceived for nuclear submarines. They were never meant to be scaled up. But, the US government canned research into Thorium and Natrium Nuclear reactors. Which can produce 1/1000 the amount of nuclear waste and can be fueled using spent nuclear rods from lightwater reactors. They create longer, more complete and sustained fission and we have had these designs since the 60's. But the fossil fuel industry spent billions trying to demonise and delegitimise nuclear power because that would be the end of for-profit energy production. Now private companies like Copenhagen Atomics and Bill Gates's Natrium are producing vastly more efficient and in the Case of CA, modular nuclear reactors. Like, the size of a 40 ft shipping container modular. It is super exciting stuff.
