And it’s objectively a worse experience for it.

Wacht, heeft hij nou eigenlijk wel antwoord gegeven op de vraag die hij zelf in de titel stelt? Hij heeft een hoop opgehangen over de koopman, de dominee en de oude man, maar echt iets verklaren doet hij niet.

Dit is altijd een beetje het probleem wat ik heb met zijn video’s. Hij herhaalt populaire Nederlandse mythes die helemaal niks verklaren. De koopman en de dominee? Sure, begin eens met verzuiling in plaats van die nationale mythe er weer bij te halen. Dan kom je waarschijnlijk verder met een verklaring dan op deze manier. Het is echt een stuk complexer dan wat hij hier uitlegt.

Ah man, those times were great. Bored? Just push the button and you’ll see something new. No scrolling, just a new website with random interesting stuff to explore.

Ever heard of Jehovah’s witnesses? Or Mormons going on their mission? They aren’t constant here, but they are definitely a thing in the Netherlands.

So why not use something like WhatsApp or Signal instead then? Sounds like a terrible user experience to me. Nobody I know uses iMessage, everybody uses WhatsApp instead, which is platform agnostic.

But I’m European, so the iPhone penetration is lower iirc and they can’t stay in their bubble as much.

Room 0123 isn’t an option? With 0 being the ground floor?

I had a nice one today. I saved an email for archiving for all to see ( you know, as a .msg) and tried to open it. Windows asked if I would like to open it with Outlook (new). Sure, I thought, only to be greeted by the message “sorry, this function is not supported”.

Why do you do this to me Microsoft?! Why?!

What you need are good laws, not so much a 4 day work week. I just go to the doctor during office hours and tell my employer I have to go. I even get paid time off for it, like everyone else working in this country. Same for the dentist or any other kind of medical thing.

Sure, it’s not always optimal if you work in some sort of shift, but they are required to make sure you can go.

By the way, not that I wouldn’t appreciate a 4 day work week, but this seems like a bit of a stretch to say that this is the reason why you would need one.

You don’t need a licence if they are in the category of electric bike, meaning they cannot be self propelled (you need to peddle) and they have a limiter limiting the speed to 25 km/h.

Unfortunately, these things are wicked easy to circumvent. Many retailers will sell you a throttle (meant for moving the bike while walking with it) and changing the speed limiter and peddle requirement is as easy as going into the software settings. This results into what is effectively an electric moped without the licence plate and requirement. According to the law, such a vehicle requires you have a license and wear a helmet, but of course nobody does.

It’s the order of importance sir! First one on the list actually gets work done!
