I think 5 or 6. I'd get to experience living in different cultures without having to abandon friends and family in my current location.

Minder sterk dan in 2022, maar dat jaar daargelaten de sterkste groei ooit deze eeuw. En dat allemaal door immigratie.

For decades I pronounced albeit like "al-bayt", instead of "all-be-it". I only ever saw it in writing, and never hears anyone say it. Meaning made also so much more sense when I finally heard it being said out loud. Eye opener.

Mostly in a corporate setting.

We have these breaking news tv screens all over the lunch room. I absolutely hate it, can I please enjoy my lunch in peace?

Everyone who has ever consumed dihydrogenmonoxide will die!

I can't even compare wages with my partner if we have to go by monthly rate.

I get paid per month, but in May I get an 8% bonus, so my monthly payment is not the same throughout the year. Then my partner gets paid every 4 weeks, and receives bonuses based on company performance in those 4 weeks. So every payment is different.

Per annum is the only way we can compare our salaries. And that's in the same country. Now try international, and it'll really difficult otherwise soon.

Het dédain van de overheid jegens de burger is echt buiten alle proporties. Wat is er toch met Nederland aan de hand?

De man heeft bij Shell gewerkt. Als er iemand NIET geschikt is voor een klimaatrol is hij het wel. Ronduit belachelijk dit.

Kan de commissie dit nog tegenhouden of is het eigenlijk een voldongen feit?

Wat hebben de Amerikanen hier in godesnaam mee te maken? Fuck dat sanctiedreigement.

Ook, wat een hoeveelheid taalfouten in het artikel. "Op de dag dat het kabinet besluiten", wat?

Janeway and Paris making lizard babies.

Netherlands, thirties, own a manual transmission car. In fact, I have only ever driven manuals.

Our weather is nigh-identical to that in south-eastern England. I mean, after all, coast to coast theres only 100km between us. We've had a normal summer. Perhaps "cool" by today's standard, but even on average for the last 30 years it's been a normal summer.

June in fact was exceptionally sunny and dry. July indeed was a nothingburger, mostly rain rain and more rain. August was a mix, some good days some bad. What we didn't have this year was any 35+ temperatures.

I have a brand new apartment. On recommendation of the constructor (new walls contain lots of moisture that needs to go out), it's set a little warmer than I'd usually go: 21C (70F). In my old place I'd put it at 18C (64F).

That said, currently it's 25C inside (77F). This place is insulated like crazy, and we don't have AC (that still isn't common over here, even for new builds). For reference, current temperatures outside are 14C (57F)

Cda kan zich eigenlijk beter zelf opdoeken. De enige mensen die ik nog ken die CDA stemmen zijn hoogbejaarden die al heel hun leven op CDA stemmen. Nog een paar jaar, en dan is ook dit electoraat er niet meer.

Absoluut geen fan van de SGP, maar ergens vind ik dit wel jammer. Het is wel iemand met ontzettend veel kennis hoe de kamer hoort te werken.

Is dit een grap?

Nou, eindelijk dan. Dit worden interessante verkiezingen. Ik vind het wel een beetje jammer dat hij niet bij BBB in de boot gestapt is. Twee serieuze concurrenten op rechts ipv één komt de VVD alleen maar goed uit.

Iirc, the linguistics professor lives in a similar middle-of-forest house that looks cool for 2 seconds but then you realize how awful it must be to maintain.
