Due to a quirk of history the Dutch version got dubbed initially as an attempt to create an edgier version of Pat and Mat when it was aired within the framework of a quite progressive block of children's television in the Netherlands.

That attachment might be something to work on. I wouldn't mind stimulating my kid to build up their own library once they've reached the point of reading adult fiction and books can be reread by themselves after a few years, or en

We don't do this either (I hardly look at the thing at home), but just a look at the other parents bringing in their preschoolers at school is depressing. Half of them have their phone out, and the number of parents you see pushing a p

Plenty of parents do use screens responsibly. My five year old can watch one episode of whichever series he is watching at the moment after school (currently Hilda , which Netflix really should push harder than some of the crap that gets s

Also, given that they understand Dutch, get them on to Buurman en Buurman! (The excellent stop motion Pat & Mat from Czechia). That's something which works well even at 3.

Don't forget to walk off in a huff supported by your silver duck beak topped cane, before getting on your penny-farthing to ride off. No need for half measures, surely? Bonus points for quitting on the spot the exact moment your man co

I would expect a lot of viewers to find a kind of subdued eroticism there, but of the kind which is fine and fairly safe-for-work as long as all involved parties consented and the photo is used in a non-erotic context. For the photographer

OpenStreetMap generally follows the guideline that all tags and generic values (i.e., not names and other language dependant stuff) are written in British English. Exceptions exist due to the way this project works. The wiki is the primary
644.
by Freak_NL 2y ago
You misinterpreted the wiki page. That tag (like several others) explicitly supports user-defined values. This is useful, because you cannot define a complete set of values for something as open-ended as a way's surface. Innovations ha

Most basic sushi just starts with cucumber, maybe avocado, carrot, perhaps going a little beyond and doing a Japanese omelette topping, and obviously seaweed. I wouldn't consider fish to be part of any first attempt at sushi. It's

This reminded me of Pascal Husting, a director of Greenpeace (!) who commuted from Luxembourg to Amsterdam by flying up and down several times a month. It completely soured my opinion of Greenpeace, and I've avoided donating ever since

That's heavily location and use dependant. Why would Google Maps be better than OpenStreetMap locally downloaded for off-line use into OsmAnd or OrganicMaps? In much of Europe Google Maps can't even compete with OpenStreetMap data

Now I'm just curious if the two ever overlap. A BBQ brothel does kind of sound like a business opportunity.

I didn't even consider the legality (they're legal in the Netherlands), but I was thinking more along the lines of Google's 'Family Policy' mentioned in the Tweet (Xeet?).

by Freak_NL 2y ago
Considering the fact that OrganicMaps shows a map of the world, it might be something as daft as allowing children to look up where the nearest brothel is… ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbrothel )

by Freak_NL 2y ago
Why does Google communicate like this? Anyone reviewing OraganicMaps will instantly judge it not to be some scam or malicious app. So why the completely useless message? Nowhere do they actually say what OrganicMaps is doing wrong. I&#x27

That seems like the most likely case. Hauling PCs sounds like a LAN party mixed with a holiday. Would she really believe the crap they fed her about the crypto mining? Even if for some miraculous reason they did make that much money, there

It is " one of the most recognisable". That statement does not define which underground maps are the most recognisable in the world, just that London is one of them , which is undoubtedly correct.

At least the non-folding Pixel 9's have the symmetry in tact for the outline of the bump, but agreed, I do like the full-width visor on my 6 better.

by Freak_NL 2y ago
I love the camera bump on the Pixel 6. I made a leather belt pouch¹ for it for use on trips and hiking, and the camera bump sits neatly on the edge of the front of the pouch (the back part curves around as a flap over the top). It gives my

I think they had a skunkworks spin-off out in a Connecticut suburb working on hyper-feminine, hyper-realistic androids at some point.
