Not where I live, we actually have a second christmas day on the 26th.

I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

LOL. Also, it wouldn’t be my ass since I’m the donut stacker.

Depends on the thickness of the donut and the butt cheeks. So probably less than one.

The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

Same here, except for my dad, he is clumsy as hell.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

The literal meaning was defined “to drink”. If you drink something, it becomes a part of you.

Same for overmogen in the Netherlands. And eergisteren for the day before yesterday.

Haarlem is not a suburb but it’s own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.

That article literally says the other one is what New Zealand is named after.

Companies only do things for their bottom line, not for customer demand. Also, if nobody would buy gas from Shell anymore, their gas stations would just have to be rebranded to something else. Behind the scenes the oil companies are all trading with each other.

How the fuck is this country even still standing at this point with this chicanery and buffoonery at the reigns?

Because it’s basically the same everywhere?

What you call a good thing, I call green washing.

Still, open source AI will still help the same companies getting richer because the needed computing power can be found in these data centers. The companies don’t even care if it’s AI, crypto or whatever the next thing is, as long as it needs lots of power and bandwidth.

Tell me about it. In the Netherlands wind farms are built, and, on paper, these datacenter companies buy up all of the energy from them. Meanwhile, the reason why these wind farms were built is to burn less fossil fuels, but that won’t work now because of all the extra energy consumption.

But those other things is stuff which askes a sacrifice of you personally, while someone else’s sexual orientation only needs you pointing at them. In the Netherlands where I live it’s a lot less about sexual orientation (but still some), and a lot more about foreigners, be it asylum seekers or people of Moroccan descent who’s grandparents were brought over in 1960’s because of labour shortages.

In the Netherlands we now also have a “terugleveringstoeslag” where you have to pay a monthly fee based on the maximum peak power delivered to the grid over the year. At least, the bigger electrical companies already have it, the rest will soon follow. My coworker (who has way too many solar panels installed) got a letter from Essent that he had to pay 67 euros monthly starting October. So he switched companies, but he’ll have to figure out something else next time.
