Honestly, 10 minutes by car is still pretty far for a somewhat urban environment.

TBF, students using going to the bathroom as an excuse to do other things is very real. Not all student do it, but some do and these people cause a lot of issues.

I generally keep the rules: leave your phone in the classroom and be back in 10 minutes.

The amount of students that suddenly don't have to go anymore once they're reminded they need to leave their phone is very high.

Panels coming off during flight is still not ideal, even if they're not critical to flying. They can hit things that are more essential.

As someone born in 2000: No cause that day will not come.

You don't even need the movies to have some dystopian implant horror. Second sigh used to produce a sight restoring implant. After some financial trouble they stopped manufacturing and support for one of their products. Leaving recipients of the implant sightless in the case the hardware breaks.

In Duitsland zie je weleens prullenbakken met een appart mandje voor het neerleggen van statiegeld spullen. Op andere plekken zie je dat mensen deze dingen op de prullenbak zetten.

Probably an accident. It can't even physically swallow something of human size.

The pics of the team seem a bit AI to me, also when googling their names there are no clear links connecting those names to whale dairy besides that website. This (and how unrealistic the process sounds) leads me to believe that this is not real.

Babies cannot press panic buttons...

80 yo or 14 yo on ebikes are menaces. One because they don't have the reaction time and coordination to handle the speed. One because they don't have a shred of situational awareness or respect for the rules of the road.

It's honestly scary to share a bike path with both.

I'm always like: Dude I'm already in your house, why can't I just knock on your door.

It's not really that the regulators have become more strict. Most of the female birth control options would likely be approved today. The issue with male birth control is more the way they assess whether a medication is 'worth it' to take.

For women the risk and side effects of birth control are weighted against being pregnant. Since being pregnant is really dangerous, the side effects can be more severe. For example, hormonal bc causes a slight risk of a stroke, however being pregnant causes this risk to go up more. Therefore the risk of the bc is acceptable.

For men there is no such medical benefit to bc, therefore it must have very very little to no side effects to be approved.

It's not weaponized politeness. It's a love for efficient communication; everyone speaks English, so why not use it.

He is not quite a dictator yet. Let's call him an aspiring dictator, to make it clear that action can still prevent it from getting that bad.

Ant hills can also have any infestations, as in a smaller species of ants (often thief ants) stealing the resources of the bigger ants.

No way he didn't know what het was doing. He hesitates before he does it the first time, then when he get's a positive reaction he does it the second time. This was deliberate and from what I can see many people in the the US are underreacting to it big time.

This can also be mitigated a lot by cooking the beans in the morning mor a short time, packing the pan into a lot of blankets and then cooking it shortly in the evening.

Dit weer heeft me eindelijk weer de kans gegeven om ouderwets te zeiken over het weer! Hoera ;⁠-⁠)

I've heard this is not true, but it was a lie by the UK government to cover up the invention of radar and the cracking of the enigma code.

Nah, one thing Dutch healthcare does not do is regular checkups and interventions. I guess that free GP visits could have helped though...
