I don’t know, but I always giggle when they post this picture. It's probably a Koninginnedag thing.

Honestly, my first thought was “that probably has low ceilings. Look at that second floor”, which I guess makes me a luxury property snob?

My regular body temperature is 96.7, which means if I’m at 99, I’m pretty seriously feverish. But I guess ok to fly, according to this.

It’s an entire game (that I’ve played in every released form, including having it on n64 on release) that’s a solid, end-to-end experience on par with hearing menacing piano music in Hyrule Field.

I keep using the word “charming” and will never get tired of watching my little person use a ladder.

The Dutch have a different view of Operation Market Garden - September 18 is still celebrated every year in Eindhoven (there’s even an “18 Septemberplein” in the city center, near the Veldmaarschalk Montgomerylaan and the Eisenhowerlaan), monuments to the various forces involved, etc. So while parts of the operation…

Yep. And if I go to the drive through and order a quarter pounder here (NL) it's exactly the same cheese I grew up with (US). The meat is better here, though.

Over the last week or so, a list of “sponsored” related topics links shows up at the bottom of all the posts. It’s unblockable and getting irritating enough than I’m about to quit visiting any of these sites. I may be grey, but I’ve been on almost all of the fka Gawker sites for well over a decade, and we’re hitting…

In The Netherlands the cheese is the same as in the US, so probably?

The other thing I’ve had to fight against is the shitting on European “healthcare.”

I pre-ordered the digital version last night in preparation for Friday. It’s all downloaded and ready to go. Since I’m WFH for the foreseeable future and off on Fridays, it’s the perfect time to start making my island mine.

The great “cake vs pie” Jezebel bracket many years back was won by cheesecake. It’s still a contentious issue/bit of a joke for those who remember.

It’s probably his call - he’s a Buddhist and part of a community based in Japan. (My husband is a non-active member of the same organization.)

I got to see Book of Mormon last fall and it was absolutely hysterical and well-written. Half the songs have been stuck in my head for months now. It’s definitely worth seeing, or at least getting the cast recording for.

This is awesome. Also, good choice - the older bags are damn near indestructible.

You were actually correct. “Reading (his quotes) is so painful.” It would be “are” only if the subject was “his quotes”.

I had the Nokia 950 and loved it ridiculously. I only gave up on it after a battery replacement actually gave me a shorter battery life than the one being replaced.

Have you been to the “new” (like 10 years old now) Indy airport? No tram, two wings of terminals, and it’s fairly efficient. It’s boring AF once you’re past security, but it’s clean.

I have a Kobo (it’s actually my third one over the last decade, because I have both dropped one and decided to upgrade one over the years) and I love it. They fully support epub from any source and they’re quick.

They refuse to accept that no matter how many times you point it out. I had a similar argument with one about the Federalist Papers surrounding the second amendment. Facts are fluid in a depressingly high percentage of the population’s minds.
