I bought a mouse specifically for this. It was a Genius and came with a holder which you could stick to the side of your monitor or to a wall. So you could store your mouse when not in use. I am not making this up.

I find it disingenious to focus only on that. The whole season was competitive up to the last race.

Great. If we follow this line, standing next to a roll of solder is just as dangerous. No need to fire up the iron. If lead was so easily dissolved into air, wouldn't we have had massive issues in electronics factories? I don't re

As a Western European who has lived in the US for a short while around 2000, I feel the battle is already lost. Rising obesity in kids is observed but no link is made. All the while I have seen my country 'Americanizing' in the la

There is an error in the article : it suggests 3,300 deaths/year in Amsterdam @ 1971. This should be for the whole of The Netherlands.

The referendum was ignored, that is what happened.

Meanwhile in the EU, specifically in The Netherlands, we had a referendum about the Ukraine EU assoc treaty in 2016. 60% of the voters voted against. Guess what happened? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Dutch_Ukraine
