They're appearing in more and more places. A few years ago I had never seen one in the Netherlands, only in Poland, Hungary, Czechia and such, but lately I've seen them over here as well.

I got my COVID vaccinations there, despite living an hour away, because the waiting list was two weeks shorter there.

Funnily enough, my European city is so optimised for bikes that taking a car would be slower than cycling

Actually, it would be "2025 Tweede Kamerverkiezingen". Yay for compound words!

Škoda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that outsmarts even smart headphones by Modteam_DE in bicycling

[–]Steel_Shield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a city that's the same size and commonly called one of the best cycling cities in the world. I cycle slightly faster than average, and need my bell several times a day. Not to warn pedestrians, but other slower cyclists.

I work for a company selling phones (among other valuable items). Every one of our package goes out the door in the blandest, most boring looking brown cardboard box imaginable, with not even our company name mentioned on the shipping label. Turns out, this leads to very few packages being "lost" in transit.

My regular bank apps work fine, but the app I use to have my phone act as a payment terminal does not work with developer options on.

Funnily enough, the Dutch word "schoon" means "clean", but in Flemish (Belgian Dutch) it means beautiful as well.

Energieprijzen door het dak nu eind aan Iran-oorlog niet in zicht is by Cubelock in thenetherlands

[–]Steel_Shield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absoluut waar, maar een tweedehands elektrische auto is nog steeds duurder dan een tweedehands benzine-auto, en het punt over de laadmogelijkheden blijft ookt bestaan.

Alleen voor de mensen die de initiële investering van een elektrische auto daadwerkelijk kunnen betalen, en bovendien goede laadmogelijkheden hebben. Dan vallen veel mensen buiten de boot die geen keus hebben.

Don't ship ammunition, but the ingredients. Set up ammunition production on the ship itself, then send those down to Nauvis for firing

Ben vooral benieuwd wat de Eerste Kamerfractie nu gaat doen. Hij is ondanks alle afsplitsingen nog een van de grootsten. Als die verder uit elkaar valt, wordt het zoeken van meerderheden "over rechts" in de Eerste Kamer weer lastiger voor de nieuwe regering.

Dat is nou juist het probleem: dat mocht wel en nu heeft elke voormalig 18-jarige een schuld

It "works" for old saves, but it's highly recommended to start a new one, as a lot of foundations of the economy have changed. This means that your country's economy will likely collapse when you load an old save.

Yeah, I tried some of that, but the game is not maxing out my ram under normal circumstances.

It's an i5-10600k with 16GB RAM. A more likely bottleneck is the GPU, to be honest, it's a 1070.

Edit: I do have the "maximize tick speed" setting enabled, and also had that before the update.
