I was looking into it, thankfully this new tax was shut down in a vote. The French assembly originally rushed it through in an 11 to 10 vote on the 30th of last month. The parliament then shut it down with a 458 to 0 lol.

    GTA VI will cost €79.99 in France. After VAT, Valve gets €20. One download, at 210GB would cost Steam €11.55 in this tax. If you uninstall and reinstall once, Steam loses money on the sale.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any way whatsoever that Steam won't be passing this cost off directly onto users or just outright block French IPs. How incredibly stupid.

    Domestic hens were still bred into significantly higher egg output capacities.

    If you want to tangent off specifically into niche birds, sure a guinea hen has a high natural egg laying capacity, as you stated, if you manipulate it's environment. Typically in the wild, however, it would lay ~10-20 per year. Your more typical bred domestic chicken that this conversation is actually about has more than twice the capacity of the guinea hen's natural limit. Let's keep on topic here though, yeah?
