It can be super critical, that’s for sure!

Poop is one of those rare things that can be a solid, a liquid and a gas at room temperature.

A nice Schnitzel with baked potatoes.

I rarely work on Fridays, so not busy at all!

Or the Irish in the Uk, or whoever in whichever country. For me, my family (wife and kids) come first, then my neighbourhood, my village, my minucipality, my country and so on. It’s the same for everyone, which is fine as long as you acknowledge it and act accordingly.

This depends on where you live. In my country Employers will only (sometimes, not always) call previous companies if you specifically list them as references.

The same for airports.

Got it, don’t make altering the weather the main purpose.

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.
