As a long distance runner: briefs on training days. Otherwise boxers.
As for the ‘No racism’ part, skip the Netherlands. One of the current governing parties is openly racist and can even be considered fascist. Also, we have a huge housing crisis, so finding a place to live may be challenging.
Try this: slice a lemon in half. Put it in a heat-resistant bowl. Place bowl into airfryer and set at 200 Celsius for 20 minutes. It’ll probably smoke, so make sure to ventilate well.
After that, you may be able to wipe most of the grease away with a cloth.
As a random dude from the Internet, I am proud of you! :-)
I insulated my own house despite not being particularly skilled (to say the least) and absolutely loathing DIY.
A bit more context. I live in a house that was built in the early 70s. When I bought it back in 2009, there was hardly any insulation and due to the way it was built it was draughty and cold. A few years ago, I had the walls insulated, which made the major rooms a bit warmer. However, the house was still cold, part of the problem being the crawlspace and concrete floor. Last year, I got all the debris out of my crawlspace and put a thick plastic film on the sandy floor. That had instant effects: not only did the humidity drop (and some occasional musty smells), but we also needed to use less natural gas to heat the house. This year, I finished that project by insulating the bottom of the concrete floor with thick rock wool. That job took me several weeks. First, i had to glue wooden slats to the bottom of the floor and then I had to apply the rock wool.
My DIY skills are poor. I did this alone. It was a hell of a job which I do not intend to do a second time. However, the rewards, both in terms of comfort and savings are great.
I have several actually:
Ecellent choice! My personal choice is “threads” from their third album.
What kind of society or culture considered being friendly towards children a red flag? Spoken as both a father of two and former child: you can be friendly to children without being a creep.
As a fellow Dutchie: I miss the early 90s optimism. Nowadays, people are disillusioned and the hidden bigotry among which I grew up has become explicit up to the point of us having a fascist government.
I also miss not living in a neoliberal dystopia.
I am not sure that both are not connected.
Take a look at Group-Office. It has a community edition that is self-hosted and a paid professional edition. You can either self-host or host in their cloud.
Full disclosure: I am one of the developers.
Physical. I love the smell of paper.
I do occasionally use a Kobo, which is a very convenient little device. However, I prefer a paper book.
My vote goes for J.S. Bach. One of my shower thoughts is that he would make a great experimental IDM artist. He would give Authechre a run for their money.
“Mof”. That is the Dutch equivalent for “Kraut” as in the slur for “German”. My grandparents lived through the second world war and went through some traumatic experiences.
I use Lemmy and Kbin simultaneously. I prefer the term ‘Fedditors’, which I recently read in a similar thread…
Confetti’s, T-99, King Bee, 2 Unlimited, Quadrophonia, LA Style, To be fair, even at 14 years old, 2 Unlimited was too cringey even for me.
Early 90s eurohouse and/or hiphouse. I listened and still listen to many genres, but the kind of music I refer to, is not even worth being a guilty pleasure.
Same here.
At home, me and the wife try to split chores as evenly as possible. When she was struggling with burnout, one of her problems is that the house explodes into a mess, thanks to two children. One of the advices she was given by her therapist, is to block a few minutes a day for the entire family just to do minor cleanup chores. The mess remains, but it feels a bit more manageable now.
Many moons ago, I worked in a building that was next to a truck garage. On a hot summer day, a truck limped in full of animal entrails. One of its axles broke and the contents of the truck spilled all over the place, just in front of our entrance. In the sun. It was only cleaned up after several hours and the smell lingered in our office building for literal months, as the air circulation in this building was almost non-existent.
The smell itself was comparable to a very strong blood smell with a metallic, copper-like undertone.
One of my cousins used to have a dog that she had named Pavlov. :-)
