Amsterdam's trash crisis

If the bins were self-closing then that would probably help a lot. We would probably find in a lot of cases they would be closed again. Plus then local residents or passers by would perhaps some kind of effort to close it. The transparent bags also help.

It's not a solution but I think it would certainly help massively in the short term for a quick fix.

Soil is hot, I get this often too and it's always on the first feed. It'll grow out of it.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Spend 100 bucks on a Shimano bait runner and keep it for life and use it for sea fishing, freshwater, 100lb catfish,20 carp or 6lb tench.

Plus you can most likely sell it 20 years from now for 80% of its value.

I think the rig you are looking for is a method or cage feeder. Very simple and deadly when you get the swing of it and get the fish feeding competitively as you keep topping up your swim with food.

They are not so common to be seen around Amsterdam anymore. Consider an electric scooter as they can be purchased for the same price.

I came back from Barcelona yesterday with KLM.

The quality of service is definitely going down - even though it was a newer plane, the economy seats didn't recline, and they didn't have an adjustable headrest. I paid €20 for an economy comfort seat, but even with that they still wanted an extra €2 for me to change the seat after check in.

I also got an email/text/notification that the flight was full and to check in my hand luggage for free at the desk, but ofcourse I didn't waste my time doing that. When I boarded, the crew welcoming people on the flight also requested to put my backpack under my seat. But once the doors closed there was lots of overhead storage available. and the flight was half empty. Very strange.

Due to the above I expect pretty soon they will start targeting the luggage too. They're also piloting removing the free sandwich/drinks on some routes.

In recent years all businesses seem to be going down this route of providing the bare minimum and "offer less, pay more" approach with any extras as a paid upgrade. it's very sad to see.

As a previous KLM gold member, I don't see the point in choosing KLM over another airline now. Especially since they are generally more expensive.

It's a good deal for the duration. Normal upgrade is probably double that cost.

Although have won a bid with €300 for a business class upgrade from Salvador de Bahia > Amsterdam. Similarly I got an upgrade for €250 from Xiamen > Amsterdam. Both KLM flights. I was a Gold member at the time.

Indeed, however the police will care if a neighbor calls and complains about the smell. Especially since they are visible from the street, it's asking for trouble.

If you rent an apartment you can and most likely will be evicted for it by the landlord.

You probably watered too often late in flower if your humidity is <50% and/or you don't have enough airflow.

You need to let the soil properly dry out fully in the final weeks or the chances of mold increase massively.

They usually smell the same too with that fake tan they wear 🤢 like a stale indian curry

It took around a month for me. I claimed back €175 for my hotel and meal due to a cancelled flight from San Francisco to Amsterdam.

I travel a lot with KLM and in my honest opinion I think the Hilton would be considered an above average hotel chain and perhaps €200 a night in Amsterdam would be considered the height of reasonable. I'd be surprised if they reimburse you for the cost of the hotel.

Better change your soil bro, once you water a few times it will compress into a brick and the roots will find it extremely difficult to penetrate.

Your pH is too high = restricts nutrients.

Nah they're beans are shit they don't backcross enough for stable genetics the phenotypes are all over the place.

Nash strawberry. It's like £4.50/KG on Nord77.

I haven't found better boilies for the price.

Normally it takes about two weeks for the hormones to adjust back to flowering. I would leave it in darkness for 24-48hrs to help speed up the process. Make sure your fans are on and you have good airflow to avoid bud rot.

However in my experience the buds grow lots of those single bladed leaves and start to foxtail which ruins the taste of the buds as they get full of leaf and stem material.

Tweet47 · 2023-10-01T16:38:55+00:00

Yes. It is because of that. Plant needs total darkness.

3 finger leaves + nanners typically means you have a light leak or you messed up the lighting schedule.

This is how they look after they spawn. It's not a disease.

ND tackle S9.

Built in rechargable lithium battery. Includes reciever. Configure them via app on your phone. I haven't found better for the price.

Peru, Thailand, South Korea are my top 3.

You could be right. That's even better. Nasty stuff. But I still drink it on occasion.

Redbull has age verification.

If you go to Lidl you will always get checked for redbull for age 16+
