In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.

You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.

I don’t want my house to be self-sufficient. I want my street and neighborhood to be self-sufficient. I already use my neighbors excess solar for reasonable prices.

My city wants to be off natural gas in 2030 and my neighborhood is in the pilot to transition first. I don’t necessarily want a huge heat pump attached to my house, and I don’t want a huge energy storage solution in my small garden.

There is city land around our housing block with plenty of room for a solution that can serve the whole street. I hope the city is going to propose something like that for us.

Well, yeah. There are guidelines for new infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean everything is up to date everywhere. There are roads that haven’t been resurfaced for quite a while that aren’t up to date. But on the whole it is very similar everywhere.

It’s only a small country though.

There is a Canadian YouTuber who lives in Amsterdam who makes videos about it: http://YouTube.com/notjustbikes I’ve lived here all my life so it’s nice to get an outside perspective on this all.

This post isn’t about open borders, it’s about the contrast in bicycle and road infrastructure between the Netherlands and other countries. The open border was just the setup.

The Netherlands has very specific urban/rural (re)design standards which are quite recognizable if you know them.

This is my biggest gripe with W11 as well. I used to use that all the time to check what day any given date is.

I once took a taxi in Addis Ababa that had slicks and a view of the road under the car. Very fancy.

What else can the EU do? They can’t force an American company to follow EU regulation outside of the EU.

Edit: oh damn I read your comment wrong. I read it as “It’s pretty sad that the EU seems to only care about the privacy of its own citizens.” To that I’d say get your own regulation, but that’s exactly what you called for. Nvm then.

I think it’s a clever way to get rich people to pay high taxes. Singapore is just not a place suited for private cars for the able bodied. The same policy in other countries wouldn’t be fair, but I could probably see it work in Manhattan or in the canal district in Old Amsterdam.

83 degrees Celsius is too hot in any month

My take too. I’ve talked people who wanted to skip it because of the tourism back into it. It’s too special to skip if you’re in the area.

Sorry Venetians.

Spaghetti is an Asian-Native American fusion dish.

Handle yourself, doctor.

I thought that was what intended by the author.

I couldn’t activate my W11 with a genuine W11 key taken from a previous W11 install.

If I go every other day I will be in the shower 4-5 times a week, is that over showering?

I typically shower for 60-90 minutes, I push my self and raise the temperature each week.

I bought the original OnePlus Nord mid 2020 for €336 and I have no plans of replacing it. A €600-700 foldable might convince me, but other than that this phone is way better than what I need.

The only thing I’d do differently is buying a phone from a company that isn’t Chinese.

lol

Nobody’s transportation and time is going to cost less than €0.21 per kilometer, unless you’re riding a bicycle and view that activity as adding value.

For anyone else, it’s a lump sum kind of thing. You’re compensated for transportation, but you still probably want to live relatively close to your workplace because there is nothing to gain from living far away.

I’m sure you can defraud the Dutch tax office but they’ll fuck you over big time, and I’m not aware of any such thing going on.
