There recently was an article that discussed about what the Dutch could do. It came down to 3 suggestions:
- Building a dyke across the Waddeneilanden (killing off the entire waddensea but also protecting the rest of the land)
- Raising up the existing dykes and sacrificing cities and villages that are nearby the sea since the dikes really need to become much bigger.
- Giving up whole parts of the Netherlands, building floating cities and relying on higher parts of the country to expand and rebuild there.
What it is going to become, I don’t know but it will be really interesting!
Cue the Dutch that live 50m NAP. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like you are a part of the same country.. 🥲
It is a big waste! Unless your cheese melts very easily, there is no reason to have that amount of plastic.
It looks more like he is addicted to the snacks. Might lay low on them for a while :)
Can someone please explain like I am 5 why we even had a veto system? I have read somewhere that it is mainly for in the beginning to protect the core values of the union.
This is pretty much my childhood.. Love it! :o
The thing is, with a car you quickly can get to 2000 kilo’s. Even an electric car weighs as much as this!
Good! Maybe in the future when we fixed the problem of having big things going vroom polluting our planet we can try having them back but at the moment, let’s just not do it.
Jup! It’s quite normal here to have a bike that is so ugly, it is not even worth the effort to get stolen. 😅
To be fair, it was a not-so-serious—tongue-in-cheek-poke since some cat owners claim that their cat is evil but of course we know better! :)
Low key loving it that people here automatically assume that a bike would mean you would go on trails and off road while here in the Netherlands we still are riding that old riggidy hunk of metal (a Omafiets) we got handed down form our sister 15 years ago. (Who also got it as a hand me down)
There are nice bikes here with carbon fiber belts instead of metal chains but those get quickly stolen or used so much they wear down away in a few years because the bikes get beaten to bits by the weather and usage.
Maybe she senses something is up (like your ankle) and doesn’t know how to deal with the situation? Or she really needs a walk to spend her energy. Don’t blame them, dog usually aren’t evil beings, we got cats for that!
You can! We sell them and that is one of the selling points well tell people who don’t want to use the service.
Yes I do! I got mine in 2014 and still use it every day! Last year I changed the battery and repasted the cpu and it still got plenty of life in it. Let people think whatever they want but if you want solid build quality and good support, you can’t beat a Mac. :)
You could not go wrong with a older MacBook. This way you will get great support with updates and a well build device that can last a long time. :)
For example, this is a pretty good one!
Such a nice way to pass the time. :)
