They could. They are however not interested in working for the catch.

In many (?) hospitals, you need to take your ticket somehow when you enter. You can sometimes do this with the letter or email you got, but you can also scan a (Dutch) ID. See 'aanmeldzuil': https://www.zuyderland.nl&#x

At the very least I'm happy I can still see my pension was registered correctly and downloads the attestations to that effect. All without visiting an office in Paris only open on Thursdays 10:00-10:30am ;)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Also, even though my partner has a Dutch tax ID, we still can't file together ourselves, on account of her not having a Dutch ID, and therefore not being able to setup DigiD 'correctly'. We can hav

I've worked in both, plus the Netherlands. France has one forgiving element: usually some room for the human element. Germans civil servants seem happy to apply rules and procedures, even if they are clearly suboptimal. French civil se

He he, I have a secret aversion to movies exceeding 1GB :) I know what you mean! I wonder what video fidelity I would gain moving to something more modern. It's just really convenient being able to playback anywhere.

Why AV1? I convert much to 720p PS3 compliant H264, for maximum device compatibility. I take an external drive with these files with me when I travel, and in 99% of the cases plugging it into hotel TVs just works.

There are some stretches of 100+ km sans fuel stations in Europe too. It still isn't a problem, since you simply don't need to drive as much near the end of your projected range as you will in an electric car.

I've been driving across Europe for decades now, and I have not even once worried about not finding a fuel station on time. Even without nav each most highway stations have a sign stating the distance to the next one, so if you like th

Nav systems have been able to get you to gas stations for ages?

Whenever EV drivers describe their 'charging experiences', all I hear is ordeals, whether they think it was positive or negative. It could be so simple: side payment card and done, with the only worry being the power output. (Stil

You don't even have to be a foreigner: when friends come over and ask where to charge it's a total crapshoot whether or not their passes and/or apps'll work (this is NL). I don't understand why they don't just

Why would I even want to think about that? Never needed to before. Don't need to for technical reasons (faster chargers exist). It's only cheapness to let those old things stand. They may be able to pawn them off on you by telling

Bacterial biofilms? On implanted implants? How do they get there?

by brnt 3y ago
I understand that port improvements enabled more power, but who would actually choose to charge at a lower speed if it's an actual choice? Imagine that fuel stations would have tubes of different diameters. It's silly. Replace the

People use foorbar in different ways, but when I moved (foorbar works well in Wine btw), I discovered that Quodlibet is actually a better version of what I was using foobar for.

The body is far more complex than simple thermodynamics however, and to pretend the dozens of biological feedback loops are fully under ones control betrays a lack of understanding. Reducing getting fat to thermodynamics is like reducing co

So, even though you'll have both installed in your phone, separating that over apps helps you think? Why not just of two keepass databases then?

'Buy manufacturing from China' is a bit like 'buying gas from Russia', or so we will all say once that came crushing down too.

Why not Keepass?

What cut did publishers take before Steam? Precisely. Can you and will you provide the service that Steam provides instead? What will it cost you? What will it cost another store? How will gamers know that those stores, maybe your own serve

'Snickers' instead of a chocolate bar; 'Quackers' instead of oats; basically anything by Kraft?

Even apart from health concerns, the amount of processed foods that Americans seem to consume is just staggering to me. Branded foods; it'll always seem silly to me.

Even the CSV export of Excel sets the separator based on locale, rendering them hard to use in international setting. I work at a European statistics office, and although there's SDMX, it's not under Save-as in Excel.

It's important to separate copyright, right of use and ownership. In Europe, copyrights are often not transferable: you will have forever written that line after all. What is transferable, and implicit or explicit in a work contract, i

So many offices are closed 12-14. But don't go to the bank at 11:45: they'll be packing up and saying they're leaving for lunch. That break is really 11:30-14:30. Took me a few tries to get my bank stuff done when I just move
