I could annoy my Francophile wife... But I'll behave myself and fall back on my usual answer: Fucks in concept, but with the reliability issues you mentioned (which frankly don't surprise me), sucks. Probably needed some more development before they put it into use, but that's the French for ya.

And their big boss's doctor had him on a wild cocktail that makes one wonder how the man was even able to stand, let alone speak cogently, one of the side effects of which was apparently unstoppable cropdusting.

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.

I hate to keep doing this but: Fucks in concept, but the execution SUCKS. Apparently part of the bolt would work its way loose and gum the thing up. Only thing you could do is strip it, put the bit back into place, reassemble, and use it until the thing got loose again.
