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.
For a second I tought that was Ozzy.
I live in the Netherlands. Please don't feel sorry for us, there's a lot of assholes over here, and we've got a pretty good life going.
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.
Me too, but I think that one was already done before...
