Chocolate chip cookie supremacist. Used to repair MTA radios, then built skyscrapers in NYC, then did quantum computer things in Zuid-Holland. Now trying data centers. CrossFit is a terrorist organization.
When you build homes to a code that requires high floorplan solar exposure rates.
Kind of fundamentally disagree with this take. If for local environmental concerns and not engineering concerns, you reduce nuclear power during a heat wave and solar is perfectly capable of covering the gap. That does not mean 100% solar is the only way forward. Shit is useless in winter.
Paris if air-conditioning had been invented by a Frenchman and not American Saint Carrier.
Literally abandoned for years. Prime location in Manhattan. It is worthless.
90% of Dutch bike lane km's are simply gutter sharrows. The difference is I feel perfectly safe riding on these. The reason is getting a driver's license in America is too cheap and accessible.
I am now officially in possession of the best bread on the entire continent of Europe. Bringing civilization to these savages.
My hot Dutch urbanist take of the day. Brooklyn is drastically short on highway capacity and significantly worse for it. Especially if it wants to have safe roads like NL.
The world's dumbest commute has its benefits. Jetlag bagels at the greatest bakery in the world.
What a failure by Amtrak. But damn this is my first time in a A220. Great plane.
Protip: learn enough of the local language before moving so you can listen to the local news and politics.
One of these is a shitbox airline that deserves to go bankrupt and wraps itself in blue branding. The other one is JetBlue.
The Donald trum rhetoric about windmills ruining views and killing birds and shadows is VERY popular here. bsky.app/profile/82st...
Not really. We really just have the equivalent of Democrats and Republicans as they all fall on a same political line. All it does is shift coalition building from intraparty to interparty.
Quick pencil math, I think the total amount of panels we would need up here to provide daily electricity in the winter is somewhere between 15% to 20% of total surface area of the country. I guess it is a good problem, but if someone can find a use for 9x seasonal excess production.
Lawyers are why American kids don't have cheap, sketchy, fun things.
Came downstairs to my wife calling my son a idiot and laughing. Tells me he took a swig of this. Gotta be honest, I thought about it also.
Green party ad saying "no amsterdamer is illegal" which is funny in two ways. 1. This is not a political issue in the Netherlands. Shows how much American politics effect Dutch discourse. 2. The green party has made Amsterdamers illegal by passing stricter occupancy laws.
Live report from the cherry blossoms in Amsterdam. Nice but really small and disappointing compared to the hype. Like all things Amsterdam. Glad I went on a Tuesday, would be hell for what it is on a weekend. DC is much nicer.
