Netherlands, all of us also. Two of them solo, one of which bought it like 3 years ago. Me and my wife bought ours in 23, we’re in the market currently.

All of us have hbo level jobs, one of us used to be entrepreneur. Sold his company. The guys all work in IT.

Army of frogs

I can’t watch it, it’s under my nose.

Much like Belgium is unwatchable because it’s under my Rijn.

Note that Belgium isn’t part of the convo

I’ve been having a few drinks for the past couple of days, pretty much since Thursday. No more than 4 a day, not because I didn’t want to, exactly, but more because I showed some restraint. Now I can take a couple of weeks off the sauce.

I read that you did, indeed. I think it’s commendable and a whole lot better for your personal wellbeing than just lying back and taking it. Thing is that the best case scenario is that they’ll say they never realised how their actions have affected others. It’s however far more likely that they think you’re being overly sensitive and that it can never be that bad. It’s sort of similar to having a spouse who snores. You can tell them they snore all you like, they’re not hearing it and they really won’t know what impact it has on you. Short of you recording them, or them moving into your place while you go stomp around upstairs.

Your neighbour possibly already thinks that she’s being as considerate as she can be, in the sense that not blasting music or watching movies, or walking around in heels, is limiting her in her freedom. She’s not going to stop doing stuff she wants because someone else is hindered by it. It’s the same type of person that blocks the aisle of the supermarket whilst having conversations with others. Those who run elbows first through a crowd to get a place up front. Those who talk through movies. They are oblivious to what effect their actions have on others.

I have neighbours like that. I’m usually very self conscious about being the one who’s noisy but they can get it, I don’t care. Their kids, barely teenagers, are still up when we go to bed, screaming at each other in their bathroom where we can hear them verbatim. Or being out in the evening on their trampoline in the front yard, we can pretty much join the conversation.

I’ve been in the situation where I heard people moving their furniture around almost daily. It’s usually not what you think it is. Most people have no idea how their noise affects others. It can just be someone falling in their seat on the couch that can make it sound like they’re moving the couch. This is why our couch is up against the wall, so it doesn’t move. We have those little felt things under chair legs to prevent scraping noise. We take our shoes off inside the house. And if we do watch movies, tv or listen to music, even when having a modest party, we keep the music at a reasonable volume so we can still have a conversation.

It’s common decency that loads of people don’t do because they are inconsiderate. Not because they’re inherently bad people, they just haven’t been taught to take others into account. And they get away with it because those who do, usually avoid confrontation.

Waar hebben we het dan over?

Another one who doesn’t know how to cook umber. For a brief spell, about 33ms in between these stages, umber becomes dark green with a very light green edge. That’s actually where cucumber gets its name, it’s shorthand for cooked umber.

I sincerely hope that when it comes to code this only applies to changes discussed and user-approved with a Plan step in front. I’d hate to come back to it having refactored my entire app with the usual schema drift and it trying to run pwsh commands even though my app runs on a different system

Not sure it will be worse then my coding specifically, but any dev who knows Edgar they’re doing really shouldn’t be relying on AI and will get frustrated a lot when vibe coding. It’s only that I sort of know what I’m doing that I’m finding out that the LLMs take my logs and my context as explanation and just start ‘patching’ by writing conversion functions out the wazoo. At some point you’ll have 16 conversion layers and yeah it works but it’s a serious design flaw.

I think my favourite bit is when in ‘I fuck sluts’ he’s doing some pretty dense verbal stuff with a book open, keeps turning the page and at some point goes ‘The pages are blank, why am I lying to you’, puts the book on his head but still expends the effort to turn the page later on.

It’s just an incredible way of misdirection that he does really well.

I loved his work from the moment he got on stage at the Comedy Central clubs when he was like 17 and the first thing he said was "Don’t worry, I’m hilarious’. Basically any show he’s done is worth a watch. And also don’t forget The Inside Outtakes, there are some nuggets in there that should’ve made it to the main thing.

I still firmly believe alternatives for lithium batteries will be the best step in sustainable energy. Currently there’s a huge surplus of green energy like wind and solar that has nowhere to go. Lithium has its downsides (cobalt and lithium mines, graphene) so something new and more dense is needed. I read sometimes, a bit buried away, about solid state batteries and stuff like sulfur natrium combinations. I bought BASF (the building blocks), CATL (the research) and the L&G battery tech ETF. Only CATL has really been profitable so far. Especially when the straight of Hormuz closed it jumped up.

I was at a Charlie Cunningham show and he explicitly mentioned that he could not come back because some of the equipment was already shipped off so he said something like: “That’s not me playing our little game of whether I am coming back, I won’t because I can’t but here is a last song anyway”

Easily one of the best arcade racers ever created. It’s a shame that the remake sucked so hard.

College. I was doing some student council stuff, not a lot of studying. The fun years were pretty much up by then anyway.

Maybe he has 10 in the Conference League spanning several years but this year even the UEFA states he has 3.

UEFA stats page with Parrot on 12

I’m not trying to tear Parrot down or anything, hell of a striker, but I think these figures may be incorrect and I’m just interested to see where the data is coming from.

Parrot 28? We sure this doesn’t also include goals for country? I see 14 in Eredivisie, 4 in KNVB Cup, 3 in UEFA Conference League. Then 5 for Ireland in the Qualifiers so that still doesn’t make 28.

I remember being at a party at an indoor swimming pool venue where the dj’s would all play house and techno but they played this track to close night. Crazy.
