  • The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It’s fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

    And don’t worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

    And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.






    1. It reduces the barrier of entry for new users to get an account going that is not flooded by political extremist views in it’s feed.
    2. It causes anonymous users to not see they shitshow. And since most users start out by browsing anonymously while deciding whether they want an account or not, that is a big deal.
    3. It gives the impression that this community is at least somewhat ok with the views that these extremists hold.

    It should be opt-in to view posts and comments from these sources.






  • Point 1 has to be chosen when the cat is young. Forcing an outside cat to suddenly only be inside often doesn’t work.

    I adopted a 7-year-old cat from the shelter, and after a week of having to be inside all the time, he got more and more frustrated. After a week and a half, he escaped during the night. In the morning, while I was panicking, he came strolling in as if nothing was wrong.

    Since he apparently comes back, I allowed him outside from then on. Since that moment, his behaviour inside has improved a lot. No more random play attacks on my ankles and hands, and generally much calmer.

    He has also come back home with mice several times. He always eats them. So I think he is very used to living outside. Maybe been a stray, or a farm cat.

    Forcing him to be inside would feel cruel.



  • Omdat het niet gaat om de bedrijven die al lang en breed graag willen dat je pint. Die bedrijven werken al samen om cashless mogelijk te maken via acties zoals “Klein bedrag? Pinnen mag!”. Juist de laatste overgebleven bedrijven waar je niet kan pinnen, maken het soms onmogelijk om cashless te gaan.

    Vrijwillige omgang naar electronische betaalmiddelen is al extreem hoog. Maar blijkbaar heeft dat geen invloed op deze bedrijven. Als je cashless toch mogelijk wilt maken, zul je de laatste paar bedrijven somehow moeten forceren. Alleen de overheid kan dat.

    In welke mate dat een slim idee is, en niet gewoon een opwelling van iemand die uit frustratie maar wat tiept in een anonieme online comment, is een andere discussie.
