It's more about maybe expanding in other countries instead of in the Netherlands. And one of the options they mentioned is Belgium, and the Belgian border is about 10km away from ASML HQ.

That's an advantage for that student, sure. For society I'm not so certain.

My dad died of it some years ago, and we never knew where his lungs came into contact with the stuff. He never worked in construction, but sometimes near it. There is typically about 30 years between the contact with asbestos and getting il

That's the weird thing about about this field, the definition for ultra processed they use is pretty arbitrary from (iirc) some Brazilian paper. And still, effects are found. So it's really important what the mechanism is why e.g.

Yes, but whatever starting March 2023 is much more extreme than climate change in the last decades has been, it's a very different scale than even that XKCD.

There is my work, my wife's work, and the two kids are in different schools. They'd all need to change. Also everything else. There is a way to do that, it's called summer time.

In the Netherlands I would really hate to be on winter time in the summer (the period of the year that evening light after dinner is long enough to do outside activities becomes much shorter) and summer time in winter would be absurd. I hop

No, we here in the Netherlands have mast years too and we don't have any cicadas. The claim is that they change the mast year pattern for a few years after they emerge. Interestingly, I think the theory behind the periodical life cycle

You don't need 600 T, just a few tons of superconductor should be enough to stop most bullets. No need run any charge through them, just place them so that most of it is between you and the bullet.

And Eisenhower's "plans are useless, planning is essential", of course. I know. But for me it's very easy to overdo it. Give me interesting chunks of about a week or two, with a tight deadline, and I'll do my best

I've also done this a lot, as has everybody. My experience is that there are two problems. One, it turns out I never ever end up doing the actual steps as I planned to. After a few I have new insights, realize I forgot something, see a

Feb 28 is definitely too early, you haven't lived a whole year yet since your birthday. So March 1 it is. It's not your birthday but you can celebrate having made it another year.
