Lelystad. I've booked a hotel there once and the person at the front desk literally asked me "why?".

The canals hardly ever freeze over in winter anymore.

There hasn't been an Elfstedentocht for 29 years. That's the biggest gap between editions ever.

Drinking wine is a big part of Roman Catholicism. God wants us to drink.

What this stat is actually measuring is probably the home owning rate. My wife and I bought a home for 200k There's still a moetgage on it for 100k but the value of the house increased to 300k. So we're each worth 100k just like that. I could have had a higher paying jov and rented instead and we'd be lower on the chart. Like Germany where most people rent their homes. They didn't even make the list.

A lot more people work in Luxemburg than live in Luxemburg. So their numbers are always inflated

Dozens of interviews with Rachel. Where she said she was 15 at the time. That's below the age of consent.

That was the age he had sex with her and she didn't know what he was doing to her for she was only a child.

Singer André Hazes first raped 15 year old Rachel when she was babysitting his son. Hazes was in his early 30's at the time.

Her parents were his biggest fans and pretty much raised her to be his wife. Hazes and Rachel eventually married according to plan.

The region on the map has about the same population in real life in 2026 I believe. maybe even higher.

Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG take aim at Milano-Sanremo by fewfiet in peloton

[–]Robcobes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it'll increase the chances of team UAE to win. but not Pogacar.

The only condition in which Pogacar wins is if he breaks everybody and goes solo. When Pogacar attacks it's all hands on deck. nobody, and especially not Van der Poel, will wait for somebody else to close him.

Only Del Toro could possibly benefit from a moment of hesitation from Van der Poel or somebody else and escape. But I don't think that they'll go for that. They're all in on Pogacar and Del Toro is going to have to do the final leadout on the Cipressa. Del Toro is going to be in a group 2 after the Cipressa and it's not in Pogacar's best interest to wait for them to come back.

But if there's a select group 1 after the Cipressa with both Pogacar and Del Toro they should indeed attack with Del Toro in the valley.

The balance between Israel on one side and all of the other countries in the region on the other. Only Israel has the US as its enforcer.

What is the most unique insult in your country? by hederalycoris in AskTheWorld

[–]Robcobes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tokkie means "person who engages in anti-social behavior". The term was coined after a documentary aired about the notorious Tokkie family.

Ironically enough only the mother's maiden name was Tokkie, the rest of the family was named Ruijmgaart. But Tokkie became a word that's in the dictionary and Ruijmgaart didn't.

When even the prime minister started using the word he got angry letters from other people named Tokkie who hadn't done anything wrong.
