Off topic: My wife's work recieved flour in the mail. Unfortunately, she works in city hall, so it was quite a scare since it could have contained anthrax. It turned out to be promotional action from some hotel.

It's the low countries because it's the land around the river delta's, not because of the height of the land. It's originally meant as downriver.

Stopped reading "children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, it wasn't the kind of book for me. I am now reading AE van Vogt's "the universe maker". Not his best book, but the fast pacing is nice. It's also an old Dutch translation, so the archaic language use is... different. I started listening to Matt Dinniman's "the bedlam bride" on my commute, I got fed up listening to the radio. I read the previous books in the series, but so far I think it lends itself better to listening. And I've read the short story "the marching morons" by Cyril Kornbluth during some down time this week, which I liked. Didn't know this writer, so might check out some of his other work.

Yes, but we also had plenty of collaborators, some even got a nice state pension in Germany.

I don't have a wallet anymore, just a flipbook cover on my phone with bank cards and a little cash stashed inside.

DUCK!

Seems a lot to be honest.

I haven't seen them a long time either, but these days the six packs are completely wrapped in plastic. Another win for the packaging industry I guess.

Probably, since a few days I can't skip through stories either, and after opening comments it scrolls back to the top. It's getting to the point that I'll probably delete my account, what's the point of this website if you can't use it.

The racism is in training on white patients only, not in the abilities of the AI in this case.

Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it's actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP's would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot's of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don't draw the engagement anymore.

Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.
