I know it’s Japan inspired but I never went there (might do soon), it reminded me of the islands around Hong Kong though.

Wow the quality on this one is really good, even zooming in. Even the food on the table, nothing is “scrambled” etc, impressed.

Little bit column A, little bit column B.

Isn’t that just because RL went free to play?

You can tell these things are trained on internet data by how good the cats are, no shortage of training materials.

I’ll be honest I’m not really giddy at the idea of eating roasted beetles or anything like that, but if they can make it into hot dogs that taste the same as the other ones I really don’t care.

See that’s why we’re not coming to Germany, how are we supposed to take these dish names seriously.

Anyone remembers when Chrome was the hot new kid on the block and we all converted the “normies” to it because it was so much better than IE? We’re reaping what we sowed.

God damn that was a depressing read.

Can’t argue about the housing!

Is he? Who is it? Never heard of an infamous landlord in Amsterdam.

I’m an EU citizen but not from NL. When I moved here I did have to have the bank account, address etc in the right order but to be honest I still found it very easy. It took only one appointment to get it all sorted (because I had all the elements that were clearly explained to me ahead of time). My wife is non-EU and it was a bit more complicated to get the residency but again, very efficient administration.

You should try the same thing in a country like France with total bureaucratic nightmare where they will make you come back 20 times because they need a slightly different version of document 28-B signed by the landlord, your deceased mother and the president.

Chromatic abrasion would make a cool name for a Photoshop plugin with grunge/lo-fi features though.

The restaurant was literally following health and safety rules in place in Canada, by not offering undercooked burgers from pre-ground beef. The customer wants it anyway, so in comes the waiver. Tbh my perspective is they shouldn’t have accepted if it goes against health code, waiver or not.

I’ve seen “Lemmies”, I’ve also seen “sublemmies” which brings “subs” back on the table imo. Alternatives are /c/s, commus, com’s, etc.

Y’all need a high speed line. Literally just one that goes along the southern border through the major cities.

What I meant is the stuff they want to geologically bury are the very radioactive parts that are 0.2% of the volume but 95%+ of the radioactivity, that’s all.

For sure I understand it’s more tricky than just going out in the woods making a big pit and calling it a day (though the image I had in my mind was pretty close to that if I’m being honest). Just feels like there’s plenty of space far enough from anyone’s backyard but you make a good point about having to then supply that site.

Made me question where France was putting theirs and it’s in l’Aube, rural area but definitely not empty by any means. Except for the real nasty stuff that’s being temporarily kept by the producers on-site until they apparently plan to bury them in a deep geological argile formation (projet cigéo).

NIMBY for waste storage? You’d expect Canada to be one of the countries where that’s the least of the issues, what with having infinite land in the north.

Looks like a platypus.
