Children in the Netherlands now learn to skate on man made ice when it's ten degree Celsius. And we have this of course https://www.snowworld.com/en Life finds a way.

If FSD is the future (personally I think we're fifty years away but whatever) why the hell would you hand that future over on a golden platter to Tesla? Any serious car maker would rather develop their own software to remain relevant.

The packages are insured, Amazon/DHL/UPS/etc are billion eurodollar corporations... Victimless crime? Except for the poor bastard security guards I suppose.

A lot of progressives are angry at the cheap plastic crap that Action sells but they conveniently forget that poor people don't scuba dive in the Carribbean much.

And if we had done nothing and let Khadaffi commit genocide you'd be complaining about it too. The West just can't win. Everything is our fault.

There was a famous flooding in the Netherlands in 1953 that was basically predicted by engineers but the country was broke after WW2. I think Libya is the same? They just came out of a civil war.

It's true that Google is unpredictable but as it stands Android still allows me to install apps outside of the approved store.

One thing that I find funny is that when I want to adopt a dog I'm screened meanwhile a drug addict or pedophile can have children no questions asked.

I was in Amsterdam a few days back and decided to take a look at the new automatic underground parking. When land is expensive enough efficiency finds a way.

True. There was an infamous case in the Netherlands were the Bulgarian thieves realised their mistake and burned a million euro painting in their mother's stove to get rid of the evidence. Criminals contrary to Batman cartoons aren&#x2

And with respect for indie games the vast majority of them barely make money. Unity was trying to squeeze water from a rock.

In the Dutch system the judge has the last word not the prosecution so no it doesn't work.

Things like AfterPay exist. Or you could only do business with reputable companies- that has worked for me.

In the Netherlands a significant portion of homeless are foreign citizens. The safety net purposely excludes them because otherwise you get half of Romania moving here.

These tactics don't work because both sides will just go colonel Kurtz and spiral into endless depravity. The CIA tried their mind ops from Vietnam to Nicaragua and their enemies never cowered.

I have seen Steam turn into videogame Facebook over the years. Not my scene but there are people who care a lot about their "profile". Valve is genius.

He was dealing with the naive and idealistic bullshit that Americans are actually willing to fight in the wars that they vote for. The Pentagon immediately scrapped the draft following Vietnam and started recruiting from the trailer parks.

Is it nonsense if half of Americans believe it? I live in a post religious society and it's easy to forget that these things still matter for the rest of the planet.

In the US you have to register to vote. That creates friction. In my country they send every adult citizen a ballot.
