Note this isn't merely a Chinese thing. A variation of this is in fact the default way new units get build and sold in the Netherlands, for example. Personal anecdote. I had a mortgage for 2 full years before being able to move in to m

My main gripes with Google Maps is that it seems to work OK if you know the name of the place you are looking for, but not its location. But it really doesn't work if you know the location but not the name. If there's any clusteri

The powdered lead seems like something you need to be careful with tho. Quite toxic.

As for sites that don't work in FireFox, here's a huge one: Office365 does not support FireFox on MacOS[0]. Mostly it works, but some things unfortunately don't. For instance, my employer's Teams site just doesn't r

The build quality is so bad they are going under in warranty claims. They also don't use common components, so very few bike repair shops in high-volume markets (e.g. Netherlands) are willing to touch VanMoof bikes.

For me there's two big offenders: KPN and AD. They each tend to call once a week. Recruiters cold-calling is indeed pretty common. Amount of scam calls I've ever received can be counted on the fingers of a single hand. There was t

It is a mistake to think merely translating bureaucratic lingo will suddenly lead to an understanding of it. Even if the individual words are understood, it is likely the meaning is still lost. Translating bureaucratic lingo may certainly s

It isn't. Most places in the Netherlands - and definitely in larger cities - are rarely more than 10-minute stroll from any grocery store. Anecdata, but as an example there are four supermarkets within a 10-minute stroll from my place

In the Netherlands, these services tried to disrupt the supermarket market by basically ignoring zoning laws. As the externalities dark stores create have been disrupting enough for residents to complain en masse, cities are clamping down h

Free DNA is not exactly uncommon. Apoptotic cells release DNA into their environment all the time. As another example, free foetal DNA in the mother's bloodstream is how NIP tests can operate.

The Netherlands may even have the worst drug laws in existence. Cannabis is not legalized, it's "tolerated". This means it's legal to sell and buy cannabis, but it is _not_ legal to grow it in any sizeable quantities[not

Those exist in the Netherlands too, but the problem is that those spots are now _exclusive_ to EVs. An ICE car is not allowed to park there. I live in an area where >95% of parking spots are occupied on a given night. The current approac
