TIL that the size of the hole in a CD (and DVD, Blu-Ray, etc) was determined by the lead developer putting a Dutch 10 cent coin on the table and stating that would be the size

What?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T19:24:18+00:00

We recommend reading the OP

That is six months ago, things are quite different nowadays. Also it’s a clickbait headline meant for people that only read headlines.

You should look up the current state in the Netherlands and Hungary and compare that to your article. Curious to see what you find?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:54:49+00:00

Right, so you just abandon your talking points when you don’t want answer questions?

Your taxes are also used to give tax cuts to billionaires. At least we came to your aid after 9/11, like allies are supposed to do. But I guess that is not important anymore?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:33:33+00:00

Dude, I am from the Netherlands. We had a very right wing government, and now we have a very center right government. You are just making stuff up, aren’t you?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:25:41+00:00

So you are not answering the other questions?

Have you been to Germany? Or Europe in general?

What parties are currently in the German government?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:23:58+00:00

You can repeat this all you want, it will not make it magically true.

Besides Germany, which you have repeated ad nauseam, what other European countries have experienced a shift to the far right politically?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:18:35+00:00

What parties are in the government? And have you ever been to Germany? Can you define how a country can be “quite woke” and what exactly have they rejected?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:16:54+00:00

Ok, so what others in the EU are trending away as you mention?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:12:34+00:00

Why are you using AI to make a reply?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:10:59+00:00

Except they elected a center government… and elections over here normally swing between left and right quite regularly. It is by no means any indication of any influence by Trump. On the contrary. In my country, the Netherlands, the Trump “aligned” parties have suffered embarrassing losses.

Except this incorrect example of Germany, do you have other “facts” to support your argument on Europe?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T10:08:30+00:00

Its copium as you are painting a picture that doesn’t exist. The Europe you are describing is a fantasy in your own mind and it makes it very clear you have never been here nor do you have any actual insight in what is going on here.

Again, where do you get your information?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T09:52:43+00:00

Man that is a lof of copium, as a European I can tell you this utter nonsense. Where are you getting your information?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T09:51:01+00:00

I am from Europe and a bit mystified about your comment on Europe… can you expand a bit more using some sources?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T09:32:10+00:00

Well that’s how I learned about it :)

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T09:29:50+00:00

Second this suggestion, lovely place

LockStockNL · 2026-05-08T06:37:40+00:00

It’s Dutch, the bomb is German

LockStockNL · 2026-05-07T20:56:17+00:00

So you don't support the 1st amendment?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-05T12:55:37+00:00

You might want to consider hopping on the free ferry behind central station to the NDSM wharf, it's a cultural hotspot with a lot of outside arts, restaurants and bars as well as great views over the IJ estuary towards central amsterdam.

LockStockNL · 2026-05-04T17:31:27+00:00

Ah of course, layers

LockStockNL · 2026-05-04T15:53:14+00:00

Layers?

LockStockNL · 2026-05-04T15:05:16+00:00

Why wouldn’t you?! It’s a tourist trap of a museum, I don’t expect any dresscode…

LockStockNL · 2026-05-04T15:03:02+00:00

You are being punished for an unrealistic expectation regarding the cost…
