vendee

And let's not forget the genocide in Vendee against masses of civilians still in favor of the King.

By the way, if you're into round-the-world solo racing, this is your reminder that the Vendee Globe just started last, Sunday!

Now it’s a race every few years - Vendee Globe.

I would be far more interested in an architectural counter-revolution, with the vendee marching on these modern monstrosities with pitch forks, torches and jackhammers.

How racers manage to do the vendee globe (solo, from france around-the-world back to france) in just 80 days with just sails and ropes as engines is beyond me.

And it was the farmers that were slaughtered first whenever lefist revolutions succeeded, from the Vendee in 18th C France to Ukraine in the 1920s to China in the 1950s.

On the side, I've started several companies in the web and mobile space (see Vendee and SeniorServe) doing the entire design and full-stack web development with mobile apps.

Good news, the Earth's circumference is around 40,000km, and the actual distances sailed by each of the competitors in the most recent Vendee Globe were all around 50-51,000km.

If you compare the results of sailors who compete in offshore competitions (such as the Vendee globe), where the boats are all constructed in very similar ways, you'll see that the best sailors consistently get good results, and that is based on good meteorology and a good gain to risk ratio for route choice.

Penn Jillette has proof by assertion and snarky facial expressions to back up the Reign of Terror and the massacre of the Vendee in France, the mass closing of schools under the Third Republic, the liquidation of the kulaks under Lenin, the Great Purge and the Holodomor under Stalin, the Cultural Revolution under Mao, the killing fields of Cambodia, and, and, and,...

When actual peasants revolted, as in the Vendee, the result was what some call a genocide.

Are you familiar with the war in the Vendee?

There was an active rebellion in The Vendee.
