Trump seems to be senile already (the dancing town hall meeting comes to mind), so I think it's more the question when Vance will take over, not if he will try.

Not where I live, we actually have a second christmas day on the 26th.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?

Who says the companies need to keep the servers running? The petition is "to keep games in a working state".

They've missed AirBNB and the likes.

CBD oil. It doesn't matter which exotic ailment you're talking about, someone will ask you if you've tried it and that they think it might help.

Perfectly preserved? All that's left is is the skin which has turned into leather due to the acidic environment in the bog.

True, but on the other hand, the drills or impact drivers are also getting stronger and stronger, so it's easier to mess up a screw. And then there's the driver bits, they're so bad these days that every new box of screws comes with a free bit.

I've been around for 48 years, and while I have fucked around quite a bit, I have found out very little. One of my clowns isn't doing the job right.

This is written from an "I'm right, you're wrong" perspective. In real life, no one is running a drive off a cliff campaign, and the guy promising ice cream may not be able to deliver.

Also, fundamentally both left and right can make the argument the other side wants to run off a cliff.

I'd say someone obese wouldn't have these "rolls". Source: I am fat.

Meh, Richard Feynman wrote in his biography that he saw the first mushroom cloud through a car windshield during the Manhattan project, he lived for another 40-50 years.

Haarlem is not a suburb but it's own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.

In the Netherlands, only one book I know of used to be banned (maybe it still is). The publishing rights of the work in question were claimed by the state in this instance, and they refused to allow publication of the book. The book in question was the Dutch translation of Hitlers "Mein Kampf".

48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I'm starting to feel old.

Still, open source AI will still help the same companies getting richer because the needed computing power can be found in these data centers. The companies don't even care if it's AI, crypto or whatever the next thing is, as long as it needs lots of power and bandwidth.

I don't think it's Giant Salvinia, looks more like a floating mat to me.

For me all the things you said about GIMP, but my biggest issue is how layers work in it. It is totally unintuitive to me. Last week I tried to edit some simple image in GIMP, basically pasting some small objects and touching them up. I couldn't get it to work properly, and would probably have redone it in Photoshop if it was to be used by more than three people for a short period.

That's probably why they're modern design principles, UI's were relatively new in 1999, and most people who used computers still knew how to work with the command line.

She picked me up in a bar. Been married for 23 years now

Are you sure? Because that might say as much about you as about the people you know.

In the Netherlands we now also have a "terugleveringstoeslag" where you have to pay a monthly fee based on the maximum peak power delivered to the grid over the year. At least, the bigger electrical companies already have it, the rest will soon follow. My coworker (who has way too many solar panels installed) got a letter from Essent that he had to pay 67 euros monthly starting October. So he switched companies, but he'll have to figure out something else next time.

It's not, but you made me google, so I gave you an upvote.

That article literally says the other one is what New Zealand is named after.

Tell me about it. In the Netherlands wind farms are built, and, on paper, these datacenter companies buy up all of the energy from them. Meanwhile, the reason why these wind farms were built is to burn less fossil fuels, but that won't work now because of all the extra energy consumption.

True, but also if you go to Amsterdam as a tourist, you'll end up in the tourist trap places. Shady coffee shops, tours of the red light district, and over priced bars where you have to pay for toilet usage. And you can be rushed through the Anne Frank house for a price.

Don't go to Amsterdam.

Yeah, and not just molecular damage.

That's what the beer is for.

Depends on the thickness of the donut and the butt cheeks. So probably less than one.

They will go bankrupt, but the shareholders will already have cashed out and moved to the companies of the next country.

Totally, especially since the Netherlands currently has a dimissionary cabinet. So the ministers are expected only to mind the store. Though I would be surprised Geert Wilders' PVV (the future expected governing party) to be against this, since he's always hinted at a "Jewish-Christian Tradition" of the Netherlands.

The Dutch word is almost the same as the German word, though most abbreviate it to "beha".

If you're the kind of person to think in words, try to practice thinking in English.

From what I gathered (years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), he couldn't get funding because he hugely miscalculated the distance to India if you'd travel west, like more than half the the distance. Most sailors and scolars knew better, but somehow he got the funding from the Spanish queen.

I don't think I've ever owned any version of Windows.

It's actually becoming less normal in a lot of places since every creep has a smartphone with a camera these days. Women have found their pictures or filmclips back on the internet, which was not the reason for going topless.

Also, it's been allowed in the last 50 - 60 years for most countries, not so much before.

I was confused, teef is the Dutch word for bitch (as in female dog).
