They've found a big message written in the ice, which starts: "All these worlds are yours except Europa." 
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

The Europans are demonstrating with signs reading "Yankee spaceships go home"
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You mean air traffic control is no longer on strike? That IS surprising!

For La Fraaace, it would indeed be surprising - your sole purpose in life seems to be to faire la grève. Only good thing is that normally, not every trade group goes on strike at the same time...

The French however.... 
As a Brit in France (its actually a plot to take the country back, one house at a time) I do love the place, and the frogs are actually a pretty decent bunch, once you get past the national characteristic of spoilt 14 year old.

Every update it seems that my preferences for whether I want Edge in the quick launch (no), Edge pinned to the taskbar (No thanks) and my default browser (Chrome) get reset to "YES! I love Edge and want it everywhere!".
Constantly.
Didn't Microsoft get shamrocked a few years ago for something to do with ramming a certain browser down people's throats?
At least it's good to see Microsoft have recovered, dusted themselves off, and are back in the game.
cheers

You seem to be a bit edgy about it.

You took my line-ish. I was gonna say "that's what it's like living on the edge". But no, I can't say that now.

I'm glad you didn't.

Apologies Jeremy. Timing is everything

No worries... you can still grab your coat if you want 
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, I still prefer IE and occasionally on startup get directed to a page telling me that 'you really should be using Edge'. My three main reasons for not using it:
0: I can't control file extensions when downloading using Edge. (.bacpac files automatically get saved as .zip and changing them back manually just corrupts the file.  )
1: SSRS Report Manager flat out refuses to connect using Edge.
2: I don't like being told I should do something to improve the stats, especially when the new version offers no real benefit to me...kind of like the new Azure portal...I rather like the old one just fine even if you force me to go through an extra step to get there! Sorry, a little off-topic!

Only in Europe, and everyone at the time slammed the Europeans for it, calling them all the names under the sun for wanting to protect their citizens against the slimy, money-grubbing actions of greedy, foreign corporations.
It's nice to see the cows come home to roost.

Didn't you notice the word "foreign", tucked quietly away in the clause?
What does that word tell you that I'm talking about?
If I were talking about the money-grubbing corporation at the end of my street, I would have used the words "the money-grubbing corporation at the end of my street".

Well foreign depends upon where you live, no?
So - taking the context from your post (q.v.)[^]
And money grubbing horrendous practices are basically a defect in capitalism (in its search for profits) and socialism (in it's take-it-or-leave-it quality model). Not that either has to behave that way - they just always do.
The us-and-them reminds of a currently active political candidate's strategy - but rallying Europe against the US is always popular for European politicians. Works here, too.
Consider Takata airbags[^]. A model for which all industry can strive!
