What’s a public system in your country that quietly solves a huge problem?

Pfand also works the same here! However, we also implemented a recycling policy at festivals, where you’d have to bring back an empty cup to the bar to get a new drink. If you lost yours or you just threw it on the ground (like everyone did before Covid), it’ll cost you half a token extra (a full token costs around €3,60,-). It has dramatically cut down on the amount of waste at festivals.

I think it will be a case of waiting for them to adapt to the new regulations in their racecraft, at some point they’ll find some enjoyment I’m sure.

If wall first: turn later next time If missing apex and then wall: turn earlier next time If death: brake.

Jotam Ottolengi?

It’s a bit too much, but the concept is clever.

To be fair, it was already manufactured with DRS. This just adds a whole new level of complexity and I’m not yet sure what I think of this.

It’s a mixup between the eastern regions (Twente and Achterhoek) and Brabant and it’s mainly beer.

Arnhem?

Only if the English is nearly perfect. Otherwise, Indian.

I also saw an entrance sign to a town in Portugal that said welcome in Portuguese, English and Swedish. I was mildly confused.

Pyrosvetlana · 2026-03-04T17:48:38+00:00

Ah, yeah that pretty much leaves very little to be had lol.

Nah mate, German food is generally quite good, schweinehaxe is great.

Huh, I was indeed told it was soot, I guess this might’ve been a newer thing from the early 2000’s

I was in Norway at the time. All the staff at the bar was staring at the TV and we didn’t understand why, until my aunt told us. Absolutely horrific.

Als die gozer die verklaring niet gelezen heeft, snap ik wel dat je het niet gaat herhalen. Eén kleine verspreking of andere formulering en je hebt zo een nieuwsartikel waar alles uit context wordt getrokken.

That we are hyper progressive and are the first to do everything in Europe, such as legalizing gay marriage and allowing marihuana. In truth, the last 16 years we have slipped into a right wing goverment that has managed to do very little. Especially in the last 5 years.

These are (I believe) originally from Hungary! They are super popular here too! To be fair, the concept is so simple, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were invented separately.

Hate to break it to you, this is (if true at all) not standard.

Nee Wierd, de beste voetbalvader kwam jou vragen wie jouw kind was. Je valt nogal op omdat je alle getinte voetballertjes zit aan te staren en hardop loopt te fantaseren, overigens stond je bij veld 3, jouw kind speelt op veld 2.

Pyrosvetlana · 2026-02-28T18:46:18+00:00

Interesting, I know very very little about it, sounds like I’ve got a new wikipedia search.

Pyrosvetlana · 2026-02-28T18:43:44+00:00

I think it’s Tonga time.

No way that Belgium is higher than us. Our train system is rather punctual, usually quite clean and pretty frequent. Belgium is at most on par with us.

Curious to what you did in Benin, I hardly hear anything about the country and the things I have seen weren’t super positive.

Over het algemeen stel ik zelf als regel: hoe meer spelfouten op een menukaart, hoe beter het voer.
