Sounds like one of the 'they're out to get us' conspiracy theories. But even if I were to indulge in it, you know you can simply pick not to have treatment or pick your type of treatment (up to a certain degree). Nobody is fo

Roughly the same, I would say.

I have taken breaks from coffee repeatedly over the past two years or so and, at least in my case, the worst of it passes after 48h or so. The two days of headaches are pretty debilitating for me, but I feel like I have a bit more respect,

I am truly heartbroken to hear this. I simply refuse to believe that the Netherlands will go from heaven on earth to crime ridden due to drugs.

Thank you for the comment. To be fair, the Netherlands is as close to paradise as I can imagine, as long as the definition of paradise is not one of palm trees and warm weather. Even though I am outraged by what is happening, I can't h

This saddens me deeply. The Netherlands is my favorite country. Is this something that concerns people around you? Is it like a major shock to everybody?

I stand somewhat corrected. There was indeed just one lawyer killed in the, Derk, while Philippe was only shot in the leg. Either way, this is terrifying and would have never expected this in the Netherlands.

And water. Especially when on MDMA.

by rocgf 7y ago
As far as drugs go, legal and illegal, MDMA is fairly safe, unless abused. But I think that's irrelevant when it comes to legalizing or decriminalizing. It doesn't really matter how bad it is for you since, at the moment, nothing

Tell your friend to not buy drugs from the street in Amsterdam. Those drugs may not be what you think they are.

I do not disagree with anything you say. If I was in any position of power, getting rid of cars would be a top priority. My personal favorite country in the world is the Netherlands, specifically for its cycling and public transportation. H

I am very against cars and very pro-biking, and yet I find your comment immensely simplistic. You seem to be forgetting that buildings can't be moved and big infrastructure projects go into the billions. The USA was build with cars in

What you are saying is pretty much in line with what Matthew Walker is presenting as a hypothesis for the role of dreams in his book "Why we sleep". I have no training in the field, nor am I particularly well read on the topic, bu

A couple of takeaways from your post: - knowing your code does what you expect is a _false_ sense of safety - if something is simple, it is useless - if something is complicated, it is useless

This is not only ridiculous, it may actually be dangerous journalism because it hints at the fact that this may be a conspiracy by the people 'ruling the world'. And it does that with no real evidence. Anything has pros and cons,

Just being pedantic, but those are seven 9s, not five. For five 9s, the downtime is indeed 5 minutes per year, for seven 9s it's about 3 seconds.

And at least you're open that you care little about anything else apart from your personal comfort. All the externalities associated with you driving while having perfectly good alternatives should be suffered by the rest of us.

There are so many weird angles to it that I just don't know where to start. In a sentence, it's just a big leap to go from a couple of disjointed currently-niche technologies to the conclusion that life in rural areas is unlikely

That is a very far fetched idea.

As a lot of other things, it happened step by step, with the main catalyst being 9/11. We somehow accepted that it's an acceptable trade-off to have no privacy in the name of stopping "the terrorists". "You're

What you said should be blindingly obvious to everybody, and yet some people feel the need to prove how enlightened they are by saying things like "the baldness doesn't define you". Sure, it does not define you, but it can de

Wow, 15% unique searches is indeed quite an interesting figure. With that said, what OP said is definitely not disproved. Just because 15% of searches are unique, that doesn't mean the most relevant result is buried in the tail end. I
