Driver of large things, operator of high stuff.
I’m under no obligation to make sense to you.
I'm just a cat born in a human body who loves dragons. Nothing special.

Dutch guy. Driver of large equipment on a flatbed trailer. Major cat dad person. Lego fan. Wishes he could retire to a remote Swedish forest. Love ravens and dragons. No fan of people. Alone but not lonely. Major pacifist, care for the innocent, hate the elite.

It’s stored with the video by the dashcam, the app translates it to this view. If I save the video though, some of the information isn’t included. (But video quality is higher.) For short clips I use screen recording while watching the video in the app. On the high res the idiot’s plate is readable.

Surely I can’t be the only one who thinks that those “look at me talking into the camera saying things” people, look rather ridiculous holding that tiny eenyweeny microphone between their fingers. Like kids in front of a mirror using a crayon as a pretend mic… 😹

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet
Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Gave the motorbike a much needed wash and decided to take it for a ride. Glad I did, was a lovely little drive. Hoping to take it to work again tomorrow also, it might rain later in the week but I think temperatures will stay above freezing. Fed up with the traffic jams so I sure hope I can.

From you, you can now drive to the A20 towards Rotterdam, take a right turn / exit towards Delft through the new A16 tunnel and drive only the last bit over the A13, back almost the same, it is a lot more straightforward than Barendrecht.

You go to Barendrecht? If you go to Delft through the new tunnel you barely have junctions. Just a tip. 🙂 (And even I have to be careful at junction Ridderkerk (Brienenoord) if that’s the one you mean, it’s confusing.)

If a product is flawed and “not good for children” or “corrupting teen’s development”, but said kids and teens are going to want it anyway, maybe you should change the product, not trying to make it extra wanted by banning it.

Maybe, just maybe, those who keep pushing for these bans, want them there? Easier to find your abuse victims when they are out of sight of protection and control… 🤔🤷🏻♂️ #JustSaying

Banning things, specially for teens, pushes those who want it, to go underground. A ban on social media removes the control, kids are still going to be there, but out of sight and in more danger than ever before.

PS. No I don’t have a cat sanctuary. Or a cabin in a remote Swedish forest. Or the money to retire there.

Let me just take a moment in between things to mention that it is ridiculously cold. The only time it is allowed for it to be this fucking cold is when I’m in my cat sanctuary in a remote Swedish forest. In wintertime. Unacceptable. 😖🥶

Just finished sending out angry emails. I hate it. Trying to be polite yet not letting them run all over me. But I have to push back, sick and tired of being ignored, tricked or mistreated by people who just don’t give a fuck. 😫

This is not going to come back anytime soon, they’ve cut it right to ground. I’ve just send an angry email about it, but the damage is done, 5 years of nurturing what was left after the previous butchering, I have to start all over again.

This is what I’m looking at through my window on the front side and in my backyard I’m still struggling to get my motorbike in and out of the shed. It’s a bloody nightmare. The whole project was supposed to be done by now, but they’re not even at 2/3 or something.

Well, it’s February, things will start growing soon, certainly when this cold streak finally passes. Considering that there wouldn’t be scaffolding at all, according to the last meeting we had, there’s no telling how long it will be up, I fear it will be some time.

Not responsible for that, no, that’s the landlord/agency and the bunch of idiots that call themselves a renovation/maintenance company. But maybe I can sneak into her garden and plant some mushroom circle with flowers shaped into a pentagram or something. 😈😹
