  • Ik snap echt niet dat rechts de energietransitie niet effectiever als energieonafhankelijkheid verkoopt.

    Die "linkse hobbies" van het aanschaffen van warmtepompen, zonnepanelen, thuisaccu's, e.d. zijn toch echt wel hobbies van mensen die per huishouden 2x modaal en meer verdienen.

  • Borrowing for a car is becoming normalized in my country, but what's wrong with just buying a €5-10k car outright? My SO and I have spent a grand total of €12500 on purchasing 3 separate vehicles in about a decade.

    I drive a relatively new electric car for work that is a job perk, but if I wouldn't I'd just driving to work in our little Mazda 2.

    There is no single part of my house I even want to spend the average new car price on (€43k). That's retire a year early money.

  • I'm privileged in that I live in perhaps the country with the densest coverage of EV infrastructure anywhere (except for maybe a microstate or two), but in the 7 months of driving an EV I've not once experienced range anxiety.

    You can't do huge roadtrips without a recharge every 250-350km in this relatively more affordable model, but for daily driving it's like waking up with a full tank every day. If I visit friends 200km away, I just park at a destination charger and walk the last 200 meters.

    At least right now that's is a lot more viable than hydrogen. I can't fill up in my town. I can fill up near my work 35m away. But it would a hassle.

  • In Dutch, the only (one) is "de enige". People often use "de enigste", which actually means the cutest. Enig -> enigste.

    "Ik ben als enigste over" "Ja, schattig ben je zeker"

    ""Ich bin der Einzigste, der noch übrig ist" "Ja, du bist wirklich süß"

    "I'm the only one left." "Yeah, cute you sure are"

  • My school taught this whole convoluted system that was meant to help students with multiple tenses, but I just learned to apply the "ik loop" mnemonic which is so effortless (to native speakers at least.)

    Sometimes I have to think once or twice about soft ketchup/'t Kofschip for the past participle, but that's about it.

  • You kind of get used to it. It's not as bad as it sounds. At the same time they should absolutely get back to regular buttons. The only thing that should be touch sensitive in a car should be the infotainment screen when it's displaying Android Auto or CarPlay.

    Even then I think I'd like it to be a backup.

  • Because robots are better than humans.

    This is the tech bro answer, but at some point there is no point to enjoy humans to do tasks anymore.

    Until then automation will just increase profits roughly within legal limits.

  • Geert Wilders' party is the largest party, but that doesn't mean the majority voted for him. I would say generally 25 out of 150 seats go to parties like Wilders' party.

    This time a lot of people voted Wilders as a protest vote (37 seats in total), but I expect a lot of the votes to return to the center-right party during the next elections.

    People are fed up with a lot of mismanagement in our government, but they punish center-right coalitions by voting even further on the right while blaming the left (even though most of the left hasn't ever been part of the government coalition).

    I bet that if you take away the housing and cost of living crises, people wouldn't be taking about immigration so much. It would help tremendously if the government wouldn't mismanage the asylum procedures as much as it does.

  • As a three time OnePlus customer I don't blame them. They were a decent deal each time I opted for them, but I feel no loyalty to them or any other brand I've had in-between OnePlus phones.

    Like with any corporation, nobody at the company cares about your loyalty as an individual.
