Sounds pretty similar to me and my grandparents, especially the part about not being vulnerable with each other. Mostly it’s surface-level talks. For example, my grandpa is into plants and gardening, so we might talk about the garden or his most recent visit to the garden center or something.
And I’m pretty sure behavior like this is passed down through generations.
For part 2, the only thing that I missed at first was the JJJJJ edge case. My approach was:
- count the amount of jokers
- remove them from the hand
- count the rest
- add the amount of jokers to the biggest set in the hand
Last step fails if there are no other cards left after you remove the jokers…
In the Netherlands, they solved this by adding a randomly generated transaction reference to the payment. This will appear on your bank / credit card statement. To view details for the transaction (time and location of entry/exit), you have to enter the paid amount and reference.
However, this will only give you info for a single transaction. If you want to see an overview of all your transactions, you need to create an account in their app. After linking your card to your account, again using the reference and amount for a transaction, you can view your travel history.
If you lay in the bed, depending on if you are lying on your back or stomach, left and right still change.
Ususally a bed is positioned with the head against a wall, so if you are facing the bed from the foot end, left and right are always the same. So I vote left/right is as seen from the foot end of the bed.
I believe a major factor in this was a ruling by the Hoge Raad that a “free” phone with a contract is unlawful and is actually a loan. Carriers now have to list the price for the phone and for the service separately, so it’s a lot more clear what the costs of the phone are.
Also, a “free” phone is now registered as a loan with monthly recurring costs, which impacts for example the maximum mortgage you can get on a home.

Het zal wel aan mijn bubbel liggen, maar ik heb het idee dat mensen om mij heen (zowel op mijn werk als privé) toch vooral bezig zijn met wat ze leuk en intrinsiek belangrijk vinden, en echt totaal niet met een carrièrepad of prestaties. En dat iedereen dat ook prima vindt.
Ik denk dat dat helemaal niet zo ongangbaar is. Dat beweert het artikel ook niet overigens. Het beweert hooguit dat er een taboe op rust om geen prestatiedrang te hebben. Maar zelfs dat vraag ik me af.
Maar goed, zoals gezegd ligt dat misschien aan mijn bubbel. Zijn er mensen die dit anders ervaren?
Genuine question: is this a new concept in Germany? Because in the Netherlands we have had such cars driving around for years already, even in smaller towns.
