  • Our weather is nigh-identical to that in south-eastern England. I mean, after all, coast to coast theres only 100km between us. We've had a normal summer. Perhaps "cool" by today's standard, but even on average for the last 30 years it's been a normal summer.

    June in fact was exceptionally sunny and dry. July indeed was a nothingburger, mostly rain rain and more rain. August was a mix, some good days some bad. What we didn't have this year was any 35+ temperatures.

  • I have a brand new apartment. On recommendation of the constructor (new walls contain lots of moisture that needs to go out), it's set a little warmer than I'd usually go: 21C (70F). In my old place I'd put it at 18C (64F).

    That said, currently it's 25C inside (77F). This place is insulated like crazy, and we don't have AC (that still isn't common over here, even for new builds). For reference, current temperatures outside are 14C (57F)

    I live in the Netherlands.

  • Their core market was always the Netherlands. That market is absolutely saturated with bikes. There are more bikes than people in NL. It's not like the US where it's a relatively novel fenomenom with lots of growth opportunities for new markets.

  • But America spies on non-American citizens in the exact same way as TikTok does. The US complaining here is just hypocrisy. And the US has been doing it for far longer than the Chinese have.

    So as a European citizen there is no difference between USian or Chinese Big Tech in terms of spying on me.

  • When the US does it it's just established practise. When a non-US entity does the same thing, it's suddenly a matter of national security.

    The anti-Chinese vibe in the US right now is rather absurd. The rise of China should have been viewed as an opportunity, not a threat.

  • Nou, eindelijk dan. Dit worden interessante verkiezingen. Ik vind het wel een beetje jammer dat hij niet bij BBB in de boot gestapt is. Twee serieuze concurrenten op rechts ipv één komt de VVD alleen maar goed uit.
