Just a Dutch guy, living in Spain.
We're back from a short holiday. We went to Granada which is bigger than we both remembered.
Granada is very much worth the visit, but don't forget to book an entrance to the Alhambra online otherwise it's near impossible to see it.
It's very safe as there are tourists everywhere.

Have you noticed that people who have been misinformed, disinformed, get mad at the people who tell them that have been had, instead of hating on the people who misinformed them?

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Last year on the first of January, I announced my good intention to get married in 2025.
I married on the fourth of January.

I'm guessing that Trump is getting medically tested all the time because doctors can't find his heart.

Surprise!
2025 is set to become the second warmest year on record, equaling 2023, and only behind 2024.
I wonder whether global warming is true, or not.
Meanwhile, we continue to take fossil fuels out of the ground, and pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.

Apologists are liars.
Professional apologists are professional liars.
According to the (Jewish) ten commandments, lying it a sin.
Apologists are not even sincerely religious because they knowingly lie.

On the bus, I said something funny. My wife started laughing, tears flowing out of her eyes.
What I said wasn't that funny.
She was crying.
When we came home, she explained that she's becoming phobic to cities, and she now depends on me to visit cities.
Me: We visit them together.

I saw a short video. A woman thinks that The Beatles were overrated.
I'm not an expert, but I've heard exists talk about The Beatles. They were good.
Anyway, I know who The Beatles were. I have some of their albums, even some vinyls.
I don't know who the woman is. Her opinion is overrated. LOL

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I'm amazed by the people posting that they have read x books this year while their target was x±y…
What's the point? I used to read a lot. Not once did I compete with myself to read a target number of books.
It's also a bit of a silly metric. I've read Don Quixote in Spanish, with footnotes.

Yesterday, we entered a optician shop.
Me: "I'm looking for sunglasses to clip on my glasses."
He: "They're called clip-on sunscreen".

I dont give a fuck what they're called in jargon. I only needed one pair.
He understood me perfectly. #smh

Solar update.
Our virtual battery is empty. We paid our first bill this month. €0,63
Apparently, to date this month, we have accumulated a bill of €4,87.
I suspect we'll be in the positive again in March.
Anyway, we're paying very little, so that's good.
