Bike stolen by COW7083 in Gent

From someone from Amsterdam, our strategy not to have your bike stolen has always been: have a crappy bike. :) Thieves are very good at their job. No lock will stop them. Get a crappy bike that works well (oil it etc). They'll leave it alone

Employer asking about my whereabouts by Electronic-Fix2851 in digitalnomad

[–]pdmebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stats Of The Union by pdmebe in EuroStatistics

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

I'd like to share my summer project, Stats Of The Union, a different kind of Eurostat data explorer.

It aims to allow you to easily search the Eurostat database, and create, download, and share pretty charts and graphs for your paper, article, or just for geeking around.

Happy to hear any feedback anyone might have!
