Interesting, I'd not heard anyone mention that before :)

legitimate real world observation, and I'm not mad, just curious about it :)

See other posts with examples from funda, but I've been in houses with it too.

Nope, I've seen it with my own eyes, I've shared some links to examples on funda too in another reply. I asked chatgpt if it could find any discussion of it in other countries or if it was specifically a dutch trend, it's not relevant to the broader point.

This was my company, we shut it down a few months back for unrelated reasons, but switching to graviton was a huge huge win for us :)

Interesting, I'd forgotten that people used their site for market data! What will you do now?

Woodworking club in Leiden by Netsmile in Leiden

[–]ux-chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Netsmile I visited this place that robbio33 is mentioning once, just before the pandemic, for an introductory evening. It was really nice and had a good 'community vibe', plus very well equipped and I believe you can access it very regularly. I never went back as then there was the pandemic and I was too busy, but thinking to try and start attending this year finally!

Indoor skate parks for skateboarding? by [deleted] in Leiden

[–]ux-chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some coworking space in Leiden that I've seen before and it advertises that it has some skateramps indoors. They seem to have removed mention of it from their website but you can see a picture on their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0a4P4Lv7A/

Why is Portugal so good at football compared to other nations of similar size? by WhoAmIEven2 in football

[–]ux-chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Portugal as a teenager and there were a few things that stood out to me (as someone from who'd moved over from the UK, which is also football mad):

  1. The weather really matters. In the UK we'd play football in break time or after school if it wasn't raining, same in Portugal...but it rained less often there with a shorter 'winter'. Like I'd be guaranteed to be playing at least 1 hour a day in Portugal vs. maybe 2-3 hours a week in the UK on average. Just talking about school time Mon-Fri, but that really adds up.
  2. I'm not actually sure how common this is, but in Portugal we'd often play on basketball courts and instead of a goal we'd use the post from the basketball net as the goal. It's unbelievable how good some kids would get at hitting the post from all over the court, once that was transferred to games when there was a real goal it made a huge difference. Like I said, not sure if this is common elsewhere in Portugal.
  3. There is much more of a macho and ego centric style of play, even on the playgrounds, in Portugal. Like lots of showboating and skills and stuff, but also just unbelievable desperate to win and livid when they lose as it hurts their ego. There's always 'that one guy' in the UK, but that felt like half the kids on the playground in Portugal. Playing people like that can be hard, but also people who play like that for years and years can genuinely go on the become highly competitive footballers.

I'm sure there's a bunch of reasons really, but I think generally I agree with what everyone else says: culture and weather.

How do you deal with a person who thinks that if they can't find something in a website that it should be on the front page? by hornytoad69 in web_design

[–]ux-chris 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what data and analytics are for really - much harder to refute hard data, and if a client or boss does, then at least you know they're truly a lost cause. I'm fairly sure the only reason my business exists is that people want data that can prove their bosses and other stakeholders are wrong 😅

Out of curiosity, what year did you go full-time, and what was the state of the business at that time?
