Printer inkt. In our shop people are still buying them for a way to high price…

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.

“You can buy a house with your own money” someone told me when I was a kid.

Last week I calculated that if I save every penny and dont spend a thing for the next 47 years I might have just enough to get myself a small house (hoping of course that inflation doesn’t happen otherwise it would be a shame to save +500.000 euro 😂)

Same here, I didn’t really understand what the screenshot was going on about.

That if you work are, be kind, play fair everything will work out fine.

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.

Baaaahhh!!!

You remember that future phones would be all transparent slabs of glass? Funny how things have changed and also not changed!

“Lady’s and gentleman, this is a computer and we might see it a lot more in the future.” - a news report back then. :)

Please tell us they did this.. 😂

There is a alternative for this. It’s called Rubber Ducking.

Basically if you can break it down so you can explain it to a rubber duck (preferably on your desk) then you probably can find the issue. :)

Here in the Netherlands I never heard of it!

You can always pay for your own mailserver. I personally like it that people can reach me a hello@firstnamelastname.de. Maybe it is something for you?

Oh you have found a rabbit hole now.. enjoy! :)

Rad! Thanks :)

There recently was an article that discussed about what the Dutch could do. It came down to 3 suggestions:

1. Building a dyke across the Waddeneilanden (killing off the entire waddensea but also protecting the rest of the land)
2. Raising up the existing dykes and sacrificing cities and villages that are nearby the sea since the dikes really need to become much bigger.
3. 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!

Thing is, if you are vegan you still have quite some options when bbqing. Grilling is one of the more fun ways to spice it up. Especially when you start using spices!

BLEEP! So how do you do fellow human?!

For a age of pre internet (for the masses) we sure had a lot of unique words :)

Cue the Dutch that live 50m NAP. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like you are a part of the same country.. 🥲

!!! I lost so much time to Emule! Sadly it is more a 00’s thing. (Which sounds like a fun tread!)

Sure! Here you go!

I am not really agreeing with you on that part. Bad times makes good times feel better and if you are constantly chasing good times you will never reach them since you are never there yet.

Just let it be and you will be fine.

Jup! It’s quite normal here to have a bike that is so ugly, it is not even worth the effort to get stolen. 😅

It’s MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER!!! 🤘🎸

Well, glad to know that everyone on the internet is male. ;)

Oof…

Congrats! Did you do it with your own money? (So no borrowing! Not that that is bad)

Waaaatsgebeuuurrrd!

Rad dude!!!!

For me I hope he meant less MURRICA things like trump was right and all the hysteria about bathroom right. (Which was a strange thing….)

Curious about what you all think!!

Edit: here is a link!

It’s a 00s thing but I understand where you are coming from :)

For starters, Zorro!

But doesn’t it make you look like you went through their stuff? I would be very confused if you gave me that.

Wouldn’t regular shampoo also work? Sorry if that was a stupid question

Such a nice way to pass the time. :)

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. :)

Another + for using it until it breaks!

This is pretty much my childhood.. Love it! :o

The flashbacks to rushing home and feeding it are 🥰
