I drove my bike through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. The only country with good cycle paths is the Netherlands. In France I even ended up on the highway because the road just changed. And I had the same experience as you in

After some distance/time how fit you are doesn't matter anymore. Then it all becomes about food to prevent all kind of physical issues.

Exactly this. You always have a choice. You can even buy a dumbphone. If you still buy Xiaomi knowing they spy on you, you just don't care. And that is also a choice. People should vote with their wallet. This also means you can't

"...everyone still PCR positive by day 7 so it was impossible to compare groups" Eh, isn't this what a PCR-test does: detect RNA? A medicine doesn't magically remove virus RNA. It might break down the virus or block it

I think Christopher Alexander has a better answer to this question. He states that anything that is designed is good when love was put into it. People can taste this love. So it's more like: when love was put into it, it tastes good.

I have been thinking about this for some time: cylinders each attached to a motor. The glossy end of the cylinders is cut at an angle. The rotation of each cylinder dictates from which direction light is reflected.

I think the most famous no-code app is WordPress. Some estimate that 70% of all websites run WordPress. But I can tell you my salary was paid by customers who wanted this 'one custom application' that was not available as WordPres

Some time ago I managed to add a non width character in my PHP code. Because it had no width PhpStorm did not highlight it and I had absolutely no clue why there was an error in my code. So it only highlights when it has width. Edit: just a

That is one aspect of a lockdown. But there are others and they are different for each person. In the Netherlands it was estimated that a lockdown would save 150000 life years but would cost 650000. This takes into account a huge number of

This is also the reason why a lock-down against a virus is not always the best option for healthy people. A lock-down causes stress and this weakens the immune system. Personally I think it is obvious why the connection between stress and &

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about plants is: they only need water (and light). Yes plants need water, but they can't grow on water alone. They need all kinds of minerals that are in the soil. When those are gone the plant
