So first phone was an Ericson T10, this was basically the cheapest GSM in the late 90’s. After that I got a Nokia 3310 (flashed with 3315 firmware and with a Bacardi case) which had a bigger screen, so multiple lines of text on-screen. Also, you could send images over SMS and install custom midi ringtones. Next a Samsung X600 with a color screen and camera. After that a T-Mobile MDA vario (rebranded HTC Wizard 200) which was a less than great very bulky phone, but it had windows and a (stylus only) touch screen. I can’t really remember why I got it though. After that a Nokia N95, the last one before my first smart phone, which was a LG optimus 2X.

You could make sauerkraut with the rest?

I worked shifts as an operator in a chemical plant. Took the opportunity to work days about 15 years ago (was about 35 years old then), never had a problem with it. I didn’t make any less money because of it, because the 9-5 job was a somewhat promotion. Pro’s were for me being all weekends off, like all the people I know. cons were less off time between. Biggest pro; get to be around my kids at more regular times. But it really depends on the jobs.

You could also argue that men are a little handier. /s

Seriously, if you feel depressed, burnt out or plain suicidal, talk to someone about it. Mental health problems can hardly ever be powered through alone.

Ten opzichte van welke andere hoofdsteden?

I hardly watch TV. I’ve seen some episodes over the years, and it’s not for me. I don’t hate it, but it just feels like someone trying to be edgy. It might be that I’m from Europe, so I can’t really relate to a lot of stuff going on.

I think that for a technological civilization to rise, you need some things to line up. First, life has to be evolved enough to have animals, beings with a brain. Then, a species has to evolve intellence to become a tool making species. This species also has to become the dominating species on the planet. Meanwhile, extinction events, ice ages, climate change and population bottlenecks are always influencing the evolution process.

This is for me the great filter, to have all these conditions line up perfectly for an intelligent, tool making species to evolve and thrive.

True, but also if you go to Amsterdam as a tourist, you’ll end up in the tourist trap places. Shady coffee shops, tours of the red light district, and over priced bars where you have to pay for toilet usage. And you can be rushed through the Anne Frank house for a price.

Don’t go to Amsterdam.

In Europe, big oil companies are teaming up with waste companies to source waste plastics. Traditional mechanical recyclers are already doing bad, because the same big oil is flooding the market with cheap virgin plastics. Chemical recycling is basically a big (marketing big, not actual big) green washing scam.

CBD oil. It doesn’t matter which exotic ailment you’re talking about, someone will ask you if you’ve tried it and that they think it might help.

It’s probably a great hobby, with pleasantly little potential to turn into a side hustle.

The change for an individual of getting it randomly may be pretty small, but also doesn’t matter. The change the OMV/DMV gives out this plate is all that matters.

Odroid has some nice boards, though I find them pricey.

That’s also an issue, I have a Roman foot shape, which is less common. The worst part is, when shopping for shoes, lots of sales people will go out back to check for sizes, and come back with a size 46. “Yes, but these tend be larger size.” I know, my feet have the same tendency.

I know this is a joke, but this actually pisses me off. I have a shoe size 47 (EU), and Adidas goes up to 48 and 2/3 most of the time. Only problem is these shoes are still too small for my feet.

Depends of your view of a long history I guess, I worked with OSX 10.5 for a few years, every time I wanted to install something I had to update the OS first.

The easiest to learn is the kazoo in my experience.

More serious: reading music isn’t nessecary to learn how to play an instrument. For instance, guitar can be played using tabs or even chord progressions.

I don’t think it’s Giant Salvinia, looks more like a floating mat to me.

I meant debt indeed. And as long as the company survives, nobody is going to investigate where the cash is flowing. If it does go bankrupt, someone might. The question is, who is going to pay for the investigation to prove the wrong doing?
