25 years I’ve been abroad (The Netherlands) and the work-life balance is why I stayed. They insist I take days off (still foolishly work like an American) and have already booked out a 3 week vacation for later in the year…and I’ll still have nearly 2 weeks of vacation left. We can roll a few weeks of vacation over to the next year if not used. Even though the Dutch have NO holidays from June to Christmas, I’m still able to take 4 day weekends when I want to.

The downside is family left behind may begin to resent you. My family have developed this red-hat victim culture. I can’t bring up how I live abroad or else it starts fights - they don’t want to talk to me now.

Thanks for this. China keeps trying to wipe away this event by having any image deleted. It needs to be reposted and seen often.

This is exactly how carpetbaggers used to work. Scam one town, move on to the next.

We should call these scammers what they really are.

Seriously folks - there can be only one and done:

HEROES

Save the cheerleader, save the world and then please - go home. But nooooo../

When understanding isn’t enough…just ”over stand”.

Because we're werewolves, not swearwolves!

I’m still learning about sovcits but what do they have against punctuation?

I’m a homeopath…

That’s not how you spell “psychopath”.

Okay - who left the keyboard open to the kids?

Seriously, can we just stop the brand warefare? Just buy what you want. I’ve plenty of old apps that just work. The only real barrier was moving from 32 bits to 64, and that was like what…iOS 6 or 7?

If the devs update the app, then there’s no company issues. If they abandon it, that’s on them. Not sure what it is you’re actually arguing for.

Best reason ever to be rid of TikTok.

Go to bed Donny. You’re tired.

I had some issues using the original PowerDeleteSuite and then found this: PowerDeleteSuite with a 5 second timeout This one worked a treat:

The slight modification allowed me to see that there was an issue with one of my posts, but it also allowed me to keep plowing through 14 years of Reddit. I changed all the content (“No IPOs without APIs”) and let it sit for a week or two to allow it to be backed up and checked. Then I deleted all but 2 subs I used to mod (1 will go soon). So far, checking by AUTHOR: yeilds nothing.

Germany just announced they will discontinue their hydrogen-powered train service in favor of a battery-based solution due to the higher running cost.

Hydrogen may be an alternative, but it has yet to make continuous, solid financial sense for any type of transport.

Okay, I’m clearly ignorant. What’s a “tankie”?

Ah, so since it’s him we should put our “justice boners” in check.

Jesus - the double-standards of some people.

Interesting that’s it’s an ally and not a foe - that suggests (if it’s not a true accident) that the top is beginning to jostle for position.

That, or fate loves irony.

Meanwhile here next door in the Netherlands, we have wind farms and solar all over, and we sell our energy to the UK...meanwhile we have some of the highest consumer energy costs in the EU.

Consumers get screwed over here a lot.

But it’s a greenhouse gases contributor - electric is better. Check that anode commented below.

“This is a disappointment for the millions of Eurovision fans in the Netherlands and other European countries”

Netherlands: Meh. Best weather we’ve had in months. Let’s have a BBQ instead.

The illusion is that a 3rd party has a chance. It didn’t when I voted for Anderson instead of Carter, and then Reagan got in. Never made that mistake again.
