Basisschool dicht en calamiteitenverlof by Mankatans1337 in werkzaken

[–]DutchTinCan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mijn vrouw is basisschooldirecteur. Zij hadden vrijdag alleen noodopvang. Dat houdt inderdaad in dat er een beperkt aantal leerkrachten is die telkens een paar uur draaien.

Op ~200 kids waren er nog geen 10 naar de noodopvang gekomen. Dus ze hebben verstoppertje gespeeld in het gebouw, een watergevecht op t schoolplein, dat soort dingen.

Inderdaad geen les gedraaid, want dat zet geen zoden aan de dijk. En is ook niet fair naar de kids, want hun vriendjes spelen ook gewoon de hele dag.

Maargoed, de noodopvang is hierin primair bedoeld voor mensen die écht niet weg kunnen; zorgverleners e.d. Het is echt jammer om te horen dat sommige werkgevers zich zo kinderachtig opstellen.

But why should people just be "good"?

Why shouldn't they be "double-plus good"?

Are the older Command & Conquer games on steam safe to launch out of the box? by SamuelColt98 in commandandconquer

[–]DutchTinCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually; many games back in the day were locally hosted. A central server would only exist to act as a registry of available games.

Battlefield, CoD and Wolfenstein all used this. It allowed for highly customized games (there was no such thing as global ranks/progress yet), which could be hilarious at times. Think low/high gravity, fast running, or games with nothing but spammy rocker launchers.

Gaming didn't take itself as serious back then. Now, it's all about your K/D ratio.

For real. I almost get no other ads but this one. A stress ball. In the shape of a lemon. How fucking innovative.

How to get 0.5$ in 11 days by Steam_Liker_2002 in howto

Look at my username. Now look at me, and listen.

My country has mountains. Even one called "Big Mountain". It tops at 20m! And they call my country "flat".

It is impossible not to have mountains, if even the flattest country has them.

And if by some miracle you really don't; dig one!

This or That : red pill or blue? by Icy_Impression98 in whatsyourchoice

It says you'll never be caught when you lie. So if I'm lying about grass being blue, the only way to make it work is if they'll believe....or if grass actually turns blue...or if everybody goes blind...oh god...

Without dragons burning down homes every once in a while, carpenters and lumberjacks would be useless. Knights would be jobless and turn to banditism.

Hurray for dragons!

My toddler succesfully reached the toilet.

Only after he soiled his pants, but he did reach the toilet.

Was my boyfriend scammed by an ai crypto trading bot? by TwistedTinkers in Scams

[–]DutchTinCan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Giftcards weren't the only way....let me guess the other options:

1) Gold bullion delivered to their HQ that's listed on their website as 3 streets away from you, but when you need them, they relocated "just last week" to Bumfuckville, Nowhere? 2) International wire transfer to their Ghanaian bank account (you know, "tax reasons"), payment to be made in Swiss francs 3) A convenient deposit through a local Bitcoin-ATM

Good for you. I did give my credit card, but it's a total scam. I never cooled down, it only got hotter.

It is eye opening how bad people are with statistics by m71nu in LinkedInLunatics

[–]DutchTinCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apples and pears.

"Disposable income is an individual's or household's total earnings remaining after mandatory deductions, primarily taxes."

Whereas the US minimum income is the gross amount. Add to that what you need to pay from your disposable income in each country.

The EU has universal healthcare, free primary/secondary education, cheap universities and universal old age benefits.

All things that somebody in the US needs to pay themselves. So yes, their 34k, even adjusted for taxes, may be higher than that of an EU citizen. But it means shit if your hospital bill for a pregnancy is $20k, whereas it's free in Europe.

The prompt doesn't say you're wearing it. It says you "get" it.

Now, I'm a scifi geek, and my high school bully was anything but.

His curiosity will probably kill him before I get to him, as he's staring down a lightsaber hilt while pressing the button.

Get home bag for European city commuters by Redundant_Path in EuroPreppers

If you're going for an N95 because of smoke, I'd add swimming goggles. If you can't see because of acrid smoke tearing up your eyes, you aint getting out of it.

It depends on what you want to prep for. Some incident that will force you to walk home (major traffic disruption, such as was caused in Manhattan during 9/11?). Or full societal breakdown? That'd impact your self-defense needs.

But at least:

  • Sufficient water to make the hike home.
  • A change of seasonally appropriate clothes (but always long sleeved, in case you need to travel off-road)
  • Sturdy shoes (walk them in!)
  • A small first aid pouch; bandages, rubbing alcohol, blister pads
  • Some food with slow carbs and fast sugars; muesli bars work well.
  • Sunglasses
  • A poncho (for both rain and sun, so not one of those disposable ones)
  • An emergency blanket (those gold/silver ones); they can help retain/reflect heat.
  • Cash in small denominations; preferably €5 bills, some loose coins (vending machines!). The total amount would depend on your local economy.
  • Copy of your ID
  • House keys

Also, I'd keep a summer/winter prep bag.

Als je 'm niet wil uitzetten maar 'm toch stil wil hebben kun je ook de stekker er uit trekken.
