Hmmm yeah I suppose it makes sense to drop off something in the middle of nowhere. Not expecting to see them buzzing around the Netherlands. We have roads.

They had a limited amount of drones in those containers they needed to make them count. My money is on operators.

This reminds me of something I read about the Vulcan strategic bombers: After dropping their bombs on Russia they were supposed to fly to North Africa and land on airstrips because England was expected to be gone.

How is drone delivery economically feasible? The carry weight is negligible, the range is paltry and they still require operators- whom I'm sure earn more than your average white van man.

Wait the Amazon Kindle not cheap enough? Amazon is actually subsidising it in the hope of making it back on their store (nice try Amazon I just use it for library books).

I was setting up a new PC yesterday. I did the "use edge to install Firefox" thing and my experience with the internet without ad blocking was traumatising. But anyway it was nice to see that FF had added startengine to the choice

We're at the point now that you can get better espresso in Amsterdam than Rome! I suppose the disposable income of the average Dutch citizen helps.

Football clubs have a billion euro budget nowadays. Sport is business. Where does FC Barcelona get their money from? The tooth fairy?

Back in the 90s when most people didn't have broadband internet or CDROM burners piracy was very big business.

There's nothing wrong with a parasitic wealth class. They have been running the Netherlands against all adversaries quite successfully for 500 years. You just need to tax them.

There is nothing rational or sober about wanting manufacturing back. Factories are bad for the environment and provide shitty jobs.

To be fair the US is too big to fail. As Europe was forced to "do whatever it takes" to save the euro and bail out Greece the entire world can't stand by and watch America sink.

Kids cannot grasp long term health. The military likes recruiting them because they think they're invincible.

OneDrive is pure evil. They force it on now and dupe their unwitting users into paying hundreds of eurodollars for cloud storage.

If only the US had prepared for this statistical event instead of handing out trillions in tax cuts.

When the Dutch government cut funding for universities they found a new cash cow: foreigners! But for Chinese students the Netherlands is exotic nobody wants to go to Missouri I guess. (Ironically the government is now complaining that ther

Back in the 90s all the big chain record stores were the same. At least with Spotify you can theoretically listen to whatever you want. If you were someone living in a provincial town you were SoL on alternative music.

Lets be real most entertainment has a short shelf life. Something gets its 5 minutes of internet fame before the world moves on. Everything depends on the memes and social media buzz.

The Netherlands during the cold war had an entire tank division stationed in Germany waiting for the USSR to invade. Where does this idea come from that Europe wasn't spending any money on defense?

Western countries should never send their citizens into the heart of darkness. I will never forget the footage of Serbians chaining Dutch officers to lampposts to act as living shields against NATO airstrikes. The poor bastards were time ma

Sure but it is easier to order genocide from an office than being the guy who has to march the children into the gas chamber. Humans have come up with wonderful bureaucracy to dilute responsibility.

The Netherlands fixed the lack of land for container and oil terminals by creating artificial land in the 1960s. If you look on Google maps you can see that the "port of Rotterdam" is actually located off the coast. Singapore and

You come to the Netherlands because you want to live in a country free from religion and fascism. And don't worry there's money too.

Anyone who spent an hour reading US history learns about the racism, xenophobia and jingoism that has been part of American society since the first pilgrims got off the ship. The only difference is that the American elite is now in on it to

No Mao had a whole program to propel China into the modern world after he and the communists realised that the old order failed.

The Cultural Revolution was pretty bad but it did put an end to religion and superstitious customs. Visit India and you will understand what Mao's goals were. (European countries killed off 1000 years of Christianity in a single genera
