There recently was an article that discussed about what the Dutch could do. It came down to 3 suggestions:

1. Building a dyke across the Waddeneilanden (killing off the entire waddensea but also protecting the rest of the land)
2. Raising up the existing dykes and sacrificing cities and villages that are nearby the sea since the dikes really need to become much bigger.
3. Giving up whole parts of the Netherlands, building floating cities and relying on higher parts of the country to expand and rebuild there.

What it is going to become, I don’t know but it will be really interesting!

Another + for using it until it breaks!

Chloroform… just kidding good luck!

You can! We sell them and that is one of the selling points well tell people who don’t want to use the service.

Yes I do! I got mine in 2014 and still use it every day! Last year I changed the battery and repasted the cpu and it still got plenty of life in it. Let people think whatever they want but if you want solid build quality and good support, you can’t beat a Mac. :)

You could not go wrong with a older MacBook. This way you will get great support with updates and a well build device that can last a long time. :)

For example, this is a pretty good one!

Such a nice way to pass the time. :)

There is a alternative for this. It’s called Rubber Ducking.

Basically if you can break it down so you can explain it to a rubber duck (preferably on your desk) then you probably can find the issue. :)

Printer inkt. In our shop people are still buying them for a way to high price…

!!! I lost so much time to Emule! Sadly it is more a 00’s thing. (Which sounds like a fun tread!)

Congrats! Did you do it with your own money? (So no borrowing! Not that that is bad)

“You can buy a house with your own money” someone told me when I was a kid.

Last week I calculated that if I save every penny and dont spend a thing for the next 47 years I might have just enough to get myself a small house (hoping of course that inflation doesn’t happen otherwise it would be a shame to save +500.000 euro 😂)
