I use higher impedance headphones that the built-in amplifier doesn't power well enough. Therefore I use a separate amp/DAC that feeds through usb from my iPhone. But this certainly describes a very limited subset of people who li

I'll explain how it typically works in the Netherlands, for non-self-employed people at least (that I'm not familiar with; note also that there has recently been some controversy where companies will classify employees as contract

E-bikes have become increasingly popular in the Netherlands, where they share the cycle paths just fine with conventional cyclists. (the mopeds and scooters that blast along the same paths recklessly are another story, however)

This is the same guy who was going on about /r/European being a misunderstood place that is definitely not a neonazi/white supremacist forum.

I'm not doubting you, but wouldn't the tire/brake residue, oil drips, etc. render something less "old" but more "roadside trash?"

I noticed that when I was visiting NYC, there was so much more available on Apple Maps. Returning home to the Netherlands showed me again how much it sucks and is devoid of information, especially with the lack of biking directions!

Ah, OK. I don't have an apple watch and I don't use it from the lock screen. I agree that finding some features can be a pain but I definitely also noticed that on the Android version. For a while there they hid (eliminated?) loca

Wind turbines kill <this type of bird> is highly location specific; so again, saying wind turbines kill lots of bald eagles is also not telling the whole story.

Ah, so that's why my electric tea kettle in the NL is so very much nicer than any I've ever used in the US. I ordered it from Amazon UK and got a plug adapter and it's fantastic. Wasn't even expensive.

There are also coffees (Ethiopian, Kenyan) that when light roasted are especially tea-like and fruity. Not roasty or bitter at all. Like, you'd wonder if it's even coffee if you're only used to the homogenous dark Starbucks s

Your analogy fails because death is not something which is necessarily a conscious action taken by one against another. If we were discussing why murder was good and complementary to life then it is more applicable, but we're not. Your

I really don't think you can state as an absolute truth that death is bad and we would be better off if no one died. That may be your view, but this is a massively complex philosophical question for which I get the impression you have
