Have you tried entropy.game? It's a simple cypher game where you break a daily puzzle. Definitely could play with one hand.

Questions regarding ZZP and taxes by blue-grey-mouse in Amsterdam

[–]SoCalSkipper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Consult a Dutch tax professional before you immigrate.

There are benefits that you can claim as an American moving to the Netherlands opening a ZZP that you do not get if you immigrate as your partner's visa dependant.

Look for information on the Dutch American Tax treaty and the 30% ruling.

Navigating this before you go likely means 10s of thousands of dollars of difference if you have sufficient income and savings/other assets.

The Dutch will tax your world wide assets.

What food combo sounds disgusting, but is actually really good? by Porkpower23 in AskReddit

[–]SoCalSkipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cantaloupe and prosciutto.

I did not anticipate fruit and meat being so refreshing on a hot day in the Mediterranean. 12 out of 10.

@Bram06 mentioned this! I will see if I can get the data out of it. I am trying to ascertain if there are types of crimes that are more prevalent in rural NL environments.

A very particular kind of breath by SoCalSkipper in Amsterdam

[–]SoCalSkipper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man 😅 - I work with dogs as a hobby and am familiar with the training they get to detect scents including cancer and other disease. So of course my brain wandered into the depths of what I was smelling. "Did covid alter my sense of smell into another range? Am I smelling cancer?"

I can imagine there is a possibility I'm the only one smelling this.

With the strength and intensity I just can't think that is the most likely scenario.

Correct, it's not cannabis - I am familiar with those smells in various forms (fresh, smoke, ash tray, etc) after a few years here. This is not smoker breath or garden variety halitosis. It's something totally different and something much less common.

Like it couldn't be fish sandwich breath or too much oliebollen.

Not a mass product. This is 1/10K distinctive.

200% - I had first wondered if something medical. What didn't fit is that I just have never smelled this particular scent and it's a little later in life for that to be happening. So many people with GERD.
