Dutchman here. I love riding in fresh snow. Very serene, empty roads, and plenty of grip. It takes effort, and I’ll be wearing lots of layers, so I’m very warm.

Fuck old snow or black ice though. Like you say, snow is rare so I don’t have studded tires or chains and stuff. Usually the cycle tracks are well salted and plowed though. There’s even an app mhat can de bicycle route planning over plowed roads only.

Yes, both would work.

This one is much better!

Farting while sitting on it would be my guess

I tried to do that some time ago, but got bored of weighing everything. Is taking a picture generally enough to estimate weights and stuff? I remember it made a lot of difference if a salad has an oil dressing for example, or how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich.

Sounds like a tamagotchi, but for keeping yourself alive :)

How does it track calories consumed? Or isthat something you do seperately?

My watch face is always analog, but that’s mostly because it’s an analog watch.

What’s the added value of a smart watch here?

The first time I saw this meme I was laughing so hard I fell of my dinosaur

Nono, that would be unsafe

Credit cards have good protections against fraudulent webshops and often provide free insurance against damage and theft. This makes it worthwhile for buying a new laptop.

My card is automatically fully paid off at the end of the month, so mhe debt is very temporary

I wish Valve would accelerate VR gaming on linux as much as well. It’s mhe only thing blocking me from switching.

although English officially isn’t a foreign language anymore due to the quality and quantity of English speakers and there are discussions to make English the third national language.

Do you have a source for this? I’m Dutch native too, and have never heard of this.

The majority of Dutch people speak English at a decent level, but there are no non-immigrant native English speakers.

Making a second decision mandatory makes it harder to change existing laws. This can be a good thing in some cases, but not always. It increases conservatism (in that it’s harder to change things).

I can see that for a free game that you enjoy a lot, and want to reward with some money. You can make a donation, or get a silly skin for the same money (and have it visible that you donated some).

Which is why neither are SI-units

Buffalo the animal (I think it’s water buffalo for mozzarella)

Also, there is a hard line in the sand at elbow noodles. That’s Goulash.

WHAT?! I was all the way with you, until Goulash. What horrific version of goulash are you eating that contains elbow noodles? Or even noodles at all?

The fumes are from the flux, if you’re evaporating lead your iron is a few thousand degrees too high.

Still shouldn’t breathe that, but that’s also true for lead-free solder

Would people just lie on the internet?

The same worries exist here too though. The blood bank isn’t allowed to pay you for your plasma, but it’s absolutely a for-profit organisation that runs on selling your plasma to pharmaceutical companies.

I still believe it’s a good thing to donate, but sometimes it feels a little icky that there’s also a businessmodel around it
