I wouldn’t say they have shaken communities. There’s also bombs going off in the sky nearby, because the German tourists are coming over in droves and they apparently love firework. Bombs. In the sky. Madness. Lights appear slightly before you hear the bombs go off. Crazy stuff y’all, stay safe.

Dutch are on average very motivated to have fun with fireworks and recently some new laws are taking those freedoms away. This seems the precise response everyone saw coming from miles away. This is just the next phase of the new legislation, enforcement…

Came here to say this, it’s just totally broken through and through. How is this even salvageable…? with a full reset of the judiciary, all these fascist muppets will just find a way back in…

Thanks, friend 👍

When I was young (also stupid) we were on holiday at Punta Verudela, Pula, (44.8348180, 13.8373873) and one day, that island in the distance (44.8312627, 13.8398307) looked too cool to not swim too it, and me, my dad and my brother decided to try and make it there. It looked pretty close, but I never swam so long in my life. Because we took our sweet time and had a pretty chill tempo, after about an hour, we made it! on our side it was all sheer and sharp cliffs though, so although the island was still cool and enticing, we had no idea if it was even possible to get up there somewhere, or how long it would take to swim around. Playing it safe, we swam back in about the same tempo and took another hour of relaxed swimming. Probably helped that the Mediterranean sea isn’t as tidally active. Checking it now, the swimming distance seems around 440m (we approximated 1Km back then :) ) I wasn’t scared at any point and just having fun, but thinking back now, so many things could have gone wrong. I think I would be a lot more afraid to try that again, without knowing what I’m getting myself into.

Damn, you can cross the English Channel on roughly 28 Belgian waffles?

Truly terrific!

I feel the same way as you do now, all the new tech is very interesting on a zoomed out scale, but for me personally, I don’t want anything new unless I can own it completely and (at least try to) repair it myself.

So I’d put myself on +8 🤣

+1 For rice and beans. Add some drops of ketjap manis or soy sauce/salt for flavour. If you just eat rice and beans all day everyday, you’re not even that far off a complete nutritional package. If you love in a potato country, switch out the rice for taters, even better nutrition but might still be a hit more expensive.

Is that the well know Anthony Bordepstein? I thought he hated white tiles.

Circle of life, babyyyyy

I like the one where she cooks at you with slight disdain. Such good oyster sauce. So much judgement.

Incredible… Wow, they’ll never forget that. I’d go out and wait for the bus with Totoro from time to time, to keep him company!

" inevitable defeat of Kiev " lol, nice and neutral standpoint. Why even write about it if it’s inevitable 🤔

Oops, thank Glob I was wrong! still dumb that avgas for piston planes use it but thats a whole different story.

Regular airplane made clouds are enough, don’t need any conspiracy. It’s leaded fuel as well, so we’re being sprayed with lead particles (because profits, there is no technological reason they have to use lead) while the clouds they can leave (contrails?) in certain conditions add about 100% warming effect when compared to just the CO2 spewing.
