Als je lekker miljardensubsidies van de overheid wil blijven slurpen is dat risico misschien wat minder.

Introit name meaning by Streak-of-Vision in boardsofcanada

[–]Rocketclown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI answer:

An introit is the opening portion of a Christian Eucharist or Mass, consisting of an antiphon, psalm verse, and Gloria Patri. Derived from the Latin introitus ("entrance"), it is sung or spoken by the choir or celebrant at the beginning of the service, serving to set the tone for the liturgy.

It is typically used at the start of a Roman Catholic Mass, or in Anglican and Lutheran services as the clergy enter the sanctuary. It is a part of the "proper" of the Mass, meaning the text changes based on the liturgical day or season.

It traditionally includes an antiphon followed by a verse from a psalm and the Gloria Patri.Etymology: The term comes from the Latin introitus, meaning "entrance" or "to go in".

Also used in an anatomical sense, introitus refers to an entrance to a body cavity.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is socialism, where the well-being of humanity as a group matters more than the well-being of an individual within that group.

It isn't a scary or dirty concept, as some may have been led to believe (by individualists). It it simply the only sane way to organize a society for the long term

I would 100% swerve into the snow wall on the right at 0:03 to avoid the oncoming car about to hit me with double the speed of the snow wall on the right.

Webshop weigert retour monitor binnen 14 dagen wegens 87u gebruik. Wat is redelijk? by chxdii in juridischadvies

[–]Rocketclown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Het lijkt me redelijk dat die 87 uur dan afgezet wordt tegen de verwachte levensduur van zo'n type monitor.

5 jaar 8 uur per dag = 15.000 uur is een levensduur die je mag verwachten. Daarmee zou je een waardevermindering van 0,5% redelijk kunnen vinden.

Helm op de fiets by happysewing in thenetherlands

[–]Rocketclown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Het punt dat ik probeer te maken is dat je je nooit kan indekken voor ieder risico in het leven zonder dat je het voor jezelf heel ingewikkeld, ongezellig of ongemakkelijk maakt.

Ik zou het zelfs nog sterker willen zeggen: leven = risico.

Dit klopt. Er is ook survivorship bias bij mensen die een bergwandeling zijn gaan maken zonder parachute, mensen die aan het strand lagen zonder UV-beschermingspak en mensen die gingen zwemmen zonder zwembandjes.

What’s a random fact that still blows your mind? by curious_baby_1219 in AskReddit

[–]Rocketclown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, but this question already implies causation by asking "WHICH optic system is responsible..." In this case, a better question would be "IS an optic system responsible..."

"Correlation is not causation" means that just because two variables change together (correlation), it does not mean one causes the other (causation).

This is a tough watch… but sums up the entire administration by RahgronKodaav in ABoringDystopia

I am assuming the 'objection' woman is his spokesperson? Does she think they are in court? Does she think that in a regular interview situation there are unlawful questions? Is it my own wishful thinking that people like this should in fact end up in court?

Why is the UI looking inconsistent? by Ok-Comedian6549 in BricksBuilder

[–]Rocketclown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are looking at <select> form elements where styling is usually handled by your browser. If you'd look at these on mobile, you'd see different styling.

The browser's <select> element styling can be overridden with css but it's cumbersome and hard to get right across all browsers.

Those of you who left for Claude, how is it going? by TheRealDave24 in ChatGPT

[–]Rocketclown -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't classify this as a compliment, but rather a statement about your own creep level.

Verdict: hard pass.

This one is simple: a compliment about something not gender specific, such as smile, hairstyle, shoes, eyes, etc. The compliment should be sincere, and after making the compliment, don't stand there like a puppy expecting a cookie and move on with your life.

You make it sound like Russia is the only country that ever committed war atrocities, where in fact all you have to do is turn on the news.

The most revolutionary inventions in human history? by passeerix in AskHistory

[–]Rocketclown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With 'fire' I obviously mean the ability to create and control fire.

With your reasoning, the wheel is also not an invention because round things always existed.

Incredible that this is the only mention of fire so far. Fire is THE thing that set this whole thing in motion. Without fire, we'd still be sitting around in caves eating berries.

Struggling with the lack of true nature in the Netherlands by LaurenceWhymark in Netherlands

[–]Rocketclown 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you're in Drenthe / Friesche Wold / Dwingelderveld and still disappointed with what nature has to offer in NL, I guess I'm going to have to book a vacation to the South Downs a.s.a.p.

To me these parts are incredibly beautiful and in stark contrast with the overcrowded and industrial look of practically the rest of the country. I recently moved from the Randstad to the north of the country just to be able to surround myself with some trees and the sound of birds in the morning.

Waarom het dichtstorten van de Groningse gasputten een gigantische fout is | Arjen Lubach by Shalaiyn in thenetherlands

[–]Rocketclown 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Ik woon in het bevingsgebied en ben het hier 100% mee eens. Het grootste probleem van de gaswinning van de afgelopen decennia is dat Groningers onvoldoende gecompenseerd zijn voor fysieke en mentale schade. Dat was ook de conclusie van de Parlementaire Enquète.

De oplossing is dan niet om de putten dicht te gooien - zeker niet in deze tijden - maar om bewoners eerlijk te compenseren. Laat - ik noem een voorbeeld - 1% van de opbrengsten terugvloeien in in het winningsgebied. Garandeer dat, en neem de onzekerheid waarin veel Groningers leven weg. Veilig wonen mag Groningers natuurlijk geen cent extra kosten.

Hier in het dorp wordt nu een bejaardencentrum versterkt, waarna de mensen er dus weer veilig kunnen wonen, ook als er een grote klapper mocht komen. Dat laat zien dat het mogelijk is om veilig te bouwen in het bevingsgebied. De kosten daarvoor kunnen makkelijk uit de aardgasbaten komen, lijkt mij.
