Amsterdam is an absolute nightmare to be anything that participates in street traffic in. I've genuinely never met anyone that didn't think this was the case outside of some fringe elements that live inside of Amsterdam (and if I&

Fundamentally too much communication interferes with doing real work. No amount of technical solution will fix what is essentially a social problem. The original post states the headphone rule: This is not a rule generally respected very we

If it can't be that hard, it would be a near-universally adopted solution already. It's not, because it is hard. Perhaps with a little empathy, you could take whatever no doubt reasonable and well-meaning intention you have and

if groundwater lowering categorically caused a lower capacity for water that was impossible to reverse in every case, the earth would not have any aquifers at all. We can see this is untrue. It's therefore not likely there's no nu

You being at peace with "non-monetary benefits" is what depresses wages and real rewards for you, but more importantly all your colleagues.

This is fun, but these policies are based on the fact that your managers don't care about you and in fact prefer you remain as poor as they can legally make you. So any kind of reasoning along these lines ("well this makes sense&q
