For a while I listened to techno combined with Mongolian throath singing, it was pretty good actually.

Yeah this is where the EU has a problem, because our intelligence agencies don’t really have great alternatives. For police we can probably just go without palantir

Yeah we (Europeans) should also constantly keep fighting for our privacy and freedom. Thanks for sharing the link I’m glad the Netherlands is against it.

Americans when you talk about gun control: NOOO mah freedom, I need it to protect myself from the government.

Americans when you tell them a private company is going to monitor and track every citizen, basically making a dystopian police state: I have nothing to hide so it’s fine.

I feel Europe is basically the other way around, less guns, but more privacy.

My 5 year old wrote a backwards F as his signature for his passport. I really hope they will let him pick whatever he wants when he gets a new one in 5 years

Drugs are done in grams i think, methric

But that might scare away advertisers…

My kid doesn’t speak English, he is 5 (and Dutch), one day in the car I was playing “Pennywise - Fuck authority”. He said that the man said fuck. Even if you’re 5 and don’t speak English you understand that the word fuck is a swearword.

It is assistive technology, but that is not how tesla has been marketing it. They even sell a product called full self driving, while it’s not that at all.

I used to hate JS but barley had used it. Now I use it on a daily base and hate it even more.

Exactly if we need to blame anyone, its fucking Wall Street and investment firms. Those are the people jacking up prices and reducing quality, they are also responsible for the entire outsourcing to China etc.

Yeah let’s blame grondma it’s absolutely her fault we had inflation and rising house prices in the last 50 years. She did it all by herself!

While this is true, I don’t eat fish in general (don’t like the taste), so it’s more a sport than for food.

Honestly, as a kid I loved fishing, I recently started again, but I actually felt kind of bad for the fish. Maybe if this trend continues I’ll be a vegan in the next 20 years.

If possible I save the grease. My house is next to a river, so I made it a habbit to not just throw away food but feed it to the fish. Sometimes we have leftovers and it’s been a little too long to eat, so I throw it in the river.

What does that mean? Where I live you borrow a certain amount of money and you pay it back plus interest (in my case 3.5%), and that percentage is fixed for 20 years. In 20 years I expect to have paid most of that entire amount back and my house should be mortgage free

I mean it more like if you would have borred 100K for a house in the 70s that was a lot of money, if you still live in that house you probably paid it back, but even if you didn’t 100K today isn’t that much money anymore

What do you mean with “inflation was added to your mortgage rate”? The prices of houses do go up but this is mostly a problem for first time buyers, after that your current house has gone up in price too, so that helps with the next house. But if you buy a house and don’t move your mortgage is fixed for 20 or 30 years (unless you go without a fixed rate). So your monthly payment will stay the same, while hopefully your salary goes up.

Not necessarily, if you own a home AND your pay slowly goes up to compensate (both of these unfortunately aren’t happening for a lot of people), relative to your income your mortgage goes down.

Or in more generic terms, inflation is good if you borrow money.

You can buy bags with fake mold, but people will probably see it and throw your food in the trash, so I don’t think it really helps.
