Bij familiebedrijven heb je de bedrijfs­opvolgings­regeling toch gewoon?

Betalen deze geen btw in de supermarkt van hun loon waar al loonheffing over heen is gegaan ofzo?

Weird, the first picture isn’t in Amsterdam, but in The Hague (Den Haag Hollands Spoor).

You could argue the same about emission zones which are common across Europe (mainly in inner cities). Just because your vehicle is allowed on the road, it doesn’t you can drive it anywhere.

TIL my home is a thriving ecosystem

Do they even promise it will benefit local populations? The issue is that even if they are good projects from a viewpoint of carbon (which the companies argue), the global north is still ofsetting their emissions in the global south. Large swathes of land are reserved by these companies, with little or no benefit to the local population, only so they can keep their business models afloat in the western world. It’s just yet another form of neocolonialism.

Eh, anything that melts I’d suppose. Most of the times I used gouda, because that’s what was in the fridge

They are pretty versatile, especially if they are homemade. But my go-to’s are a smokey bbq sauce or sriracha mayo

I’d argue that’s the same for black bean burgers. They are not like faux meat burgers, but a thing on their own.

The signal to other advertisers is more of a victory than the case itself.

Het lijkt iedereen zo weinig te doen om me heen. Je ziet de levende wereld gewoon keihard achteruit hollen, en we gaan allemaal vrolijk door met ons leven…

Around the building itself, it’s all lawns indeed. But around the buildings in the background it’s a lot less “well-kept” with a lot more shrubs on ground level.

To everyone enjoying their Gouda abroad, the milk industry has a huge role in the land subsidence and peat oxidation in the western and northern Netherlands.

It isn’t specifically about flooding. Flooding is a fairly manageable risk in the western Netherlands. As strange as it may sound for an area that is below sea level. The true problem for Gouda is its subsoil. The city is built on a thick peat layer, which is subsiding. Gouda is by far the most vulnerable historic city in that regard.

As you can see on the photo in the article, the water level in some canals is like 10 or 20 cm below the street level. Water so shallow will start creeping upward in your walls. The streets and to a lesser extent buildings are slowly subsiding. So why not just lower the water level? Well, this accelerates the oxidation and compression of peat, causing faster subsiding. You could heighten the street, but the extra weight will cause more subsidence. This is the conundrum Gouda is in.

Ik word altijd wat wantrouwig als deze analogie gebruikt word door bedrijven of instanties. Kijk, ik kan zeggen dat ik eerst het aanrecht opruim, en daarna het afval buiten weggooi. Ik kan dit namelijk niet tegelijk. Maar voor bedrijven of sectoren gaat dat veel minder op.

We zijn bezig met een immense woningbouwopgave te realiseren. We hebben helemaal niet de luxe om 4 jaar pas op de plaats te maken qua OV-investeringen. Dan loopt de boel compleet vast.

How is it typically celebrated?
