They were probably in the Reddit comments though.

I'm actively trying to avoid it, but even in The Netherlands it's hard to avoid the talk of the town.

Because they're using events and downloading a few megabytes of extra javascript framework is, of course, a way better option than six lines of SVG stylesheets.

Edit: forgot a /s

Stage four is a DNS problem.

Do some online banking. If your balance goes down more than expected, it's probably compromised.

If it were chmod 1777 it would be your mom after everyone had had their fun.

I work as a bartender in a live music venue in the Netherlands.

We, just like most festivals, used to always remove the caps from the water bottles, citing safety concerns (people would drop the bottle when empty but put the cap on, which is a nasty tripping hazard).

So a company started to make bottlecaps that clip to your pants, and most water vendors used a single size opening, which made this feasible. People held on to their cap, and could pause drinking.

Then water companies started to attach the cap to the bottle, to prevent litter, and the government issuing a mandate requiring us to charge per plastic unit.

So now we leave the caps on, but as guests return about 95% of bottles and cups to the bar (buying a drink without having a cup adds a 1 eur plastic surcharge), the safety hazard is basically gone.

As a bartender, I'd very much prefer bottles of water to cans. It allows guests to drink at their leasure, they're easier to transport and can't cause as much harm as a can (either by throwing or when squeezing it).

They are slightly visually less appealing than a cool can though, I'll give them that.

Most xkcd's are perfectly fitting for this magazine:

2. Use a mental block
Close your eyes for 8s - 25 min, and pretend not to hear anything

3. What? I can't hear you!
Why play one ad when you can play a dozen. Open multiple YouTube tabs at once and let the ads roll at the same time. A few minutes of noise for a whole few minutes of ad-free play

4. Use AdBlock Premium Plus
Of course, the best block is not loading the ads. Using the discount code AFFILIATEWHORE you can get a one year Pro plan for AdBlock Premium with six months free for just $169,- per year and enjoy the ad-free experience you deserve.

The UK will do anything to stand out, like creating their own country abbreviations instead of using the goddamn ISO.

"NTL" for "The Netherlands", really?

Consent? That's just some woke word made up to damage family-owned businesses!

Them, probably.

As a pedestrian and cyclist (aka Dutchman): fuck that noise
