Sure thing, McGyver…

We do, but our government has decided in all wisdom to reinstate the border patrol because of Islamophobia. Germany did the same thing earlier, so we’re slowly going back to pre-1992 days.

I live in the Netherlands. Please don’t feel sorry for us, there’s a lot of assholes over here, and we’ve got a pretty good life going.

But, it is plausible you didn’t flip 50:50 since the 50:50 is on average.

Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.

About 20 years ago, there was only dial-up internet available in my street. My parents lived about 200 m away from me in another street, and they could get ADSL. So I set up a wireless bridge to them, and it worked surprisingly well after some tweaking. Kept it running for a few years, eventually got my own connection because one day my dad called me because he needed the router password. Turns out he was also sharing the connection with his neighbour who was running an internet radio station.

That’s my fetish…

People who complain about multiple once-in-a-lifetime events happened in their lifetime really are snowflakes.

I have a kid of the same age, and ours are less strict, except for bed time, it’s 21:30 if there’s school the next day. Wake up time is whatever necessary, like others said teens need their rest. Screen time ends at 21:00 on school nights, but will get more strict if school results are getting lower. Basically we give our kids a lot of freedom, but expect them to do their school work and behave like normal human beings. We’re also strict on alcohol, drugs or other substances, which is not always the case in my part of the world.

Very much this, a lot of stuff is packed in plastic today where it doesn’t need packaging at all. Packaging is becoming an industry where there is no added value very quickly.

True, but not always. A lot of waste and pollution comes from packaging, which if I think about it seems to be an industry which tries (and succeeds) to create it’s own demand. Like this one, a new “recyclable” packaging with more plastics in it than the old bags.

Taller people have higher BMI’s, something to consider.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Wireless almost had it right.

Reminds me of Wireless Seattle, that must be what, 25 years ago?

Civilized in this context would mean “at an advanced state of social and cultural development” I guess? Looking at this definition, I can allready tell you I live in th most civilized part of the world, since this would be higly subjective.

Ok, than now all we have to do is decide who’s civilized, Europe or America, and then we know which is right.

Either just stand there and let my toughts wander, or shave my balls, or have sex with my wife if she tagged along, or furious masturbation followed by self loathing.

In the Netherlands, it’s not like the King or his family aren’t doing anything. They are somewhat like special ambassadors for the country. They also are highly connected, both to people in governments and other people in a position of power. And they do answer to the Parliament.

You could however, take these boxes, fill them with junk and dump them illegally somewhere. I’m pretty sure someone will track them down to hand them a fine. Source; this happens in the Netherlands on the regular.

Does that matter if they’re all federated? Or do you propose to block instances?
