Maybe you need a better shop? A couple of weeks back I broke a couple of spokes (finally found the weight limit of a Gazelle Heavy Duty NL bike - probably about 200kg of people), they fixed the spokes, realigned the wheel, and replaced the

Years ago I used Liferea for on the desktop, it seems to still be maintained. These days I self-host tt-rss and use either the web interface or the app for it (so it syncs across devices.)

As someone learning a second language through classes, immersion, and - when I remember - apps, I don't really agree. Certainly early on speaking is easy because you have a handful of words and know how to put them together, and listen

I can speak to the Netherlands that this summary may not be the whole truth. As a non-EU non-citizen, I could vote for the water board after being here for one year (the water board is important but imo not interesting), the city council af

While my phone is in English, I have Google Maps set to Dutch so that it will pronounce street names correctly (in English it'll butcher "Spui", but however it says "Utrechtsestraat" is pretty much unrecognisable.)

Hm, Ambroos is a tricky one. The best I could think of would be "arm" (assuming they're not with a rhotic-r accent, though I could imagine people then making it sound like aam) + "close" (as in dichtbij, not sluiten

It's an array reference. If you replaced the [ ... ] with ( ... ) you'd have an array and use @. This is something I see people new to Perl struggle with, and I remember it taking me some time to grasp back in the day. It's p

Interesting, the one I have moves the minute hand about 5 times per minute or so, rather than being continuous.

My understanding is that children rewatching things over and over is healthy for them, as it aids in things like language learning. Anecdotally, in my own experience learning a second language, the online part of the course will play an aud

In the Netherlands we often use Tikkie (and there are a few other apps that work the same.) With this, we use an app that generates a link that we send to the person using whatever method suits, that link takes them through their bank auth

I thought I'd be cool with it too, and for the first few months I was. I'd occasionally meet up with friends, but in general would go weeks and not see much of anyone. However after a while this situation started taking a fairly s

In Firefox, right-click in the youtube search box and you can make a keyword search bookmark. I can do, for example, 'yt gojira' to search for that, or 'wp goldfish' to search wikipedia, and so on.

I'm not convinced that argument makes sense in this context, they want you to plug the thing in. They're not trying to filter for gullibility, they want to be as convincing as possible.

No, I'm pretty sure I got a copy from a flatmate who bought a USB ethernet adapter and it came with Corel Linux on a CD. This would have been about 2001. Don't think I ever installed it though.

I can't speak to Germany, but in some places it's not legal to have you work over public holidays as the company would have to pay you extra plus giving you leave to make up for it. If they don't want to do that, you aren&#x2

Depends, often commuting is seen as this long, arduous thing to get to work. When I was going to the office, it was a 15 minute bike ride along canals. Technically a commute, but it doesn't feel like it, and it doesn't take a sign

To me at least, they seem like the exception that proves the rule. The fact that they exist with a name means that in general things aren't like that.

It definitely has a QR-code scanning feature, I used it about half an hour ago to log in to a couple of things.
