The general idea is that these parties do not want to be seen as anti-semetic, especially considering the German past. Which leads to no criticism towards Israel whatsoever. It's a shame actually, because this opens the door to the AfD party, who dont have qualms about these kind of things.

I take it that you're not a parent. So, if Snapchat is not able to know that someone is a sex offender, how is a parent to know? All you can do as a parent is talk to your kids about the dangers of these kind of apps. Sure, you could, and maybe should, forbid usage of these apps, but at the end of the day you're not looking over your kids shoulders 24/7.

In the Netherlands we've always had coaxial connections as long as I can remember. A quick google search tells me this has been so since the introduction of TV in the 1940's.

300 ohm is only for the folded dipole antennas which have a four times higher impedance than a single dipole. So you don't need to use a balun with a roof antenna, just the right type of dipole.

Tips for falljng back to sleep

I wake up at 3am to 4am daily as a neighbor makes noise walking their dog. This cannot be helped. Once I am awake, my mind won’t stop going over details about everything from the mundane to the critical. Often, I am able to fall asleep again after three or more hours of wakefulness, but only minutes before I have to wake for...

zout,
  1. Make sure you can't see a clock at night. Not knowing how late it is will stop your mind from going over at least one detail, how much time you have left to sleep.
  2. Get a notebook next to your bed so you can write things down if something urgent comes up in your mind. If you're like me, changes are you'll never write down anything.
  3. Try to not think about anything for 10 seconds or better 10 breaths. No toughts whatsoever.
  4. If everything fails, have a book or e-reader ready, so you can relax while reading for a bit. Nothing with LCD screens though, they tend to wake you up even more.

I'm Dutch, and I would have never tought this to be a typical Dutch dish. TIL.

These gems probably weren't even on display in the museum, just hoarded in storage forever.

It might blow up if there's the smallest amount of water in it.

Well, the Dutch wikipedia article on generations has the groups different than the English version. In English, I'm Gen X, in Dutch I'm from the "pragmatic generation".

zout,

This is the general meaning of the word "to grok", as originated in Heinlein's book "Stranger in a Strange Land".

zout,

According to the book, grok is the Martian word for "to drink". Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become "water brothers", bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as "drinking" them or it.

My username literally means salt, so...

At this rate with this mentality, we are going to have photo "evidence" of bigfoot and UFO's before 2030.

zout,

I should have specified that I mean the x-files type of UFO's, containing aliens.

This would also work as an occasional alarm for me, because there are a lot of pirate radio stations in my part of the world. It would go like: static noise - sudden silence - guy shouting "Hello?! Test one, two!" - horrible music.

zout,

You need a transmitter (oscillator + modulator) and an amplifier to get any reasonable range. Also (maybe even more important) some good antenna cable and an antenna tuned for your frequency. Without the right antenna you'll never get a decent range.

It's a coke farm.

From other times something like this came up:

  1. The rate of conversion is too low
  2. It will only eat plastic if other carbon sources aren't available
    Probably more, this is from the top of my head. Also, this will still cause the plastic to eventually be converted into CO2 which is released in the atmosphere.
zout,

Certain rocks/minerals will do this. But there is no financial driver today to do it.

zout,

You would have to bury them really deep to prevent them from being converted fully back to CO2, or worse methane, by other organisms.

zout,

I agree, and it will probably break down anyway giving enough time. But it would be even better to take it out of the environment completely. The best would be not to even produce it for trivial stuff, so it doesn't get to pollute the environment.
