Mwah, mijn nineties liepen in een dikke streep door t/m 2005 ofzo, met Radiohead, Blur, eels, Wilco, de belgen en excelsior en meer.

Maar het was wel een parallel universum met de billboards die je tegenkwam als je de grachtenkelder weer uitklom na een concert.

Any moose sightings so far?

My sewer district is better than your sewer district.

Can't imagine either; but a 17 year old prince, who could not fight in the war because he was too young, just coming back out of banishment is almost literally a fairy tale trope.

Blargh.

Thijs Heus @thijsheus.bsky.social · 8d

Fall on me.

Maar verder is het hele punt van die plaat natuurlijk wel dat (vooral) de A-zijde alleen maar doordendert.

Regarding the approval vs voteshare for lower income, could it be that some low-income voters are also less informed voters, and only now realizing what his platform really is?

Hamilton makes so much more sense now.

I mean, I don't think I've ever biked down Euclid without at least once swerving for a car blocking the bike lane, or braking for a car turning right without looking.

I could set up a bot, I guess.

How big of an issue is this inside normal homes? My VOx etc levels are pretty low (except perhaps the kitchen unit), and the filters inside the heat pumps seem to remain pretty clean.

A 4-bunt rally in the 6th inning *was* predicatble, though.

They had their rehabbing Ace sold, closer and other solid pitcher suspended, and weren't able to hit a T-ball. Seems like a recipe for success.

Even Adam Smith himself believed in guardrails to keep capitalism in check. The US is the only nation that tried it without (twice). Failed 120 years ago, and that was with Carnegie being kind enough to give some money back to the public.

Lady, I'm Dutch. I've lived under water for most of my life. A tad bit of rain is not going to be noticeable.

Canadian B&B owner offered me an umbrella this morning, which was sweet. I politely declined.

Madame, I am British. I have a number of small umbrellas concealed upon my person at all times.

Kwam hier om te checken of je het al over Pythagoras dag had gehad. Was niet teleurgesteld.

But who are the reviewers?

Describing my time in Europe to US friends pretty much made everyone jealous about the futuristic way of living there. Bikes, parks, public transportation, walkable neighborhoods....

Will the absence of robotaxis in Europe mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?

Robotaxis will be the Sputnik Moment for a declining Europe

My 8yo was biking back home from school/friends/after school activities in the Netherlands, in the US we're ferrying them everywhere. Imagine the time gained/stress lost if we can let him bike the 10min to swimming 3 evenings per week.

In a just society, Emmett Till would quite likely still have been alive right now.

Gewoon sorry zeggen tegen Spanje, en vragen of we terug mogen.

Thijs Heus @thijsheus.bsky.social · Jul 22

Yes, we totally do.
We have the Guards, the Cavs, and the Sewer District all playing ball in Cleveland.

In the official bike parks: very little. There are sensors that track how long a bike has been parked in one place.
I was at the Utrecht one last week at 5:45am, and only 3k spots were occupied, out of 7k typical (iirc) and 12k spots

Thijs Heus @thijsheus.bsky.social · Jul 20

I'm quite curious about your opinion the bike parks in our stations.
Also, sorry I missed you!

Thijs Heus @thijsheus.bsky.social · Jul 18

Zeker! Wordt spannend, morgen tegen Spanje in Singapore
