  The grim reaper is out of control. Not even Optimus Prime gets away.

  I have a 10 years old Northface rain jacket, it still looks nice, but feels a tighter than 10 years ago (the kilos have added, didn't help either that I bought it right after losing weight from being ill). Plus, I learned that jackets lose their effectiveness against rain and cold after years of use. Hence, now I need to buy a new one, but don't really want too cause this one is a nice color they don't sell anymore and it looks nice on me. I really be on both extremes when spendi...

  Het aantal mensen dat de VVD verdedigd omdat ze geen extra belasting willen op vermogende Nederlanders. Snappen deze mensen niet dat zij niet vermogend zijn? Ja, je hebt geld, nee je hebt geen Carvalho-Heineken soort geld. Waarom verdedigen werkende mensen altijd de super rijken? Alsof de super rijken wakker liggen over wat met het volk gebeurt.

  New intern starts today. I had to to pause a second when it hit me that I'm about 25 years older...they could be my kid :ms_confused: Weird how I don't feel that old in my mind, even tho my body reminds me everyday.

  Ik zie al tijden mensen die hun polderprikker resultaat delen. Concentratie op werk is nu ver te zoeken dus ik dacht laat me proberen kijken wat dat is. Nou deze Arubaan die 26 jaar in Nederland woont en bijna nooit de randstad uitgaat heeft het toch redelijk netjes gedaan. #Polderprikker nummer 92 • 2994/5000 🟨687 🟩964 🟨896 🟧447 ⬛0 https://polderprikker.nl/

  You know how recipes blog give you a whole story having nothing to do with the food before giving you the recipe? I just read a perfume review that is actually a broke up with my boyfriend and made up again story.

  Ik ben zo blij met de vakbonden en de werknemers die gaan staken tegen de bezuinigingen op sociale zekerheid. Leg de hele shit show plat wat mij betreft.

  Today my manager was telling us thet for an open poisition we have, two of the best sollicitants turned out to be fake. These people don't exist. They sent a cv and cover letter but when fact checking with previous employers and such, these person don't exist. We are stumped as to who and or why would sent fake application for a junior social media editor opening.

  Started reading 'picks & shovels' by Cory Doctorow and 50 pages in I'm digging it. Should have waited until Friday when my summer vacation starts because work has slowed down due to the university being almost dead and the book is calling me.

  The thing I like about code, in this case CSS, is that I will be fighting to fix something. Come back the next day, retry some things even tho they didn't work the day before and it's suddenly fixed and I'm like huh? What did I do that it's working?! Anyhow...the page is done.

  @CaptMikeYates The Odyssey? As a late deaf person I like the IMAX sound experience because I can feel the bass. But visually it is taxing. I need to sit at least half way back. I want to see the The Odyssey, just saw the movie is 3 hours long...oofff.

  Somewhere along the way I lost the passion for coding, especially back-end coding. I will do HTML and CSS for work and the occasional WordPress related PHP. But once I clock out of work I don't touch code except to maintain my website. There are days I wish I had a cool project idea to focus on and keep learning but I come up empty.

  Op 15 juni toen ie in de koop ging heb ik de NS Dal Vrij kaart voor 49,- gekocht. Ik kreeg sindsdien geen email van de NS dat het ging hernieuwen voor 15 juli en nog steeds staat NS Dal Vrij niet als een reisproduct op mijn kaart als ik op mijn online NS account check. Ik reis wel voor 0 euro. Heeft veel gescheeld afgelopen maand. Heb nu een aantal reminders in mijn agenda gezet om uit te zoeken hoe ik het stop zet voor 15 augustus anders heb ik zo een rekening van 128 euro. NS beloofde dat...

  It's that I don't have space for large Lego pieces and it's that I was never into The X-Files (I know, right?!). Otherwise I would totally get this. Gillian Anderson presenting the X-Files Lego. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhHKsgH39XI

  Stupid question maybe, but why aren't data centers using solar power? Netherlands electric grid is overloaded, meanwhile one of Microsoft data centers here is using 2% of all electricity. Meta and Google refuse to share how much theirs uses. And we aren't even mentioning water shortage and having to shower 5 minutes only.

  Was thoroughly enjoying today's dark rainy vibes at home and then the sun came out. For someone born and raised in Aruba I prefer rainy vibes more than sun. Except when I want to go to the beach.

  Heb net de KPN Teletolk optie van NS gebruikt om met klantenservice in contact te komen. De tolk vroeg als ik zelf wil luisteren (of zo iets) met de medewerker van NS. Ik van huh nee, ik ben doof. Ik praat zelf maar ik moet lezen wat de NS zegt. En de tolk: oh haha, we checken want mensen die niet doof zijn bellen soms via de KPN Teletolk. Wat in de absolute fuck? Geen schaamte. Also, bellen via de KPN Teletolk is geen magisch manier om sneller aan de beurt te komen, je staat gewoon in de wac...

  Jetlag musings: I have been away for two weeks visiting my mom and family on Aruba. I have been living in the Netherlands for 26 years now and it gets harder every time to say goodbye. People get older and frailer, you know, life. Aunts were staying at a hotel, got to enjoy home cooked meals and beach/pool day for one whole week. Haven't done that since I moved here. Finally visited the Donkey Sanctuary and petted donkeys. Brought some carrots for them but there were too many donkeys....

  Die Albert Heijn steekproeven zijn de meest irriterende bullshit. Ik gebruik al meer dan 10 jaar hetzelfde gepersonaliseerde bonuskaart. Ze weten precies op de centen hoeveel geld ik uitgeef aan boodschappen, te veel voor 1 persoon. Zij zijn mij aan het bestelen en niet andersom. Krijg je twee dagen achter elkaar een steekproef. En ik heb geen keuze van supers want centrum Den Haag is een monopolie van AH.

  Have been back from home (Aruba) two days now and work starts next Monday. Not looking forward to leaving home early and train drama. The only downside of Aruba is that I don't drive anymore and am totally dependent on people whereas in NL I can be totally independent thanks to public transportation and everything in walking distance.

  I have been using Proton sheets for two months now and it has so many tiny bugs. Every time I use it I need to correct fields that lost the set color, fonts default back to Arial. Tabs won't stay in order. But it's the closest alternative to Google sheets. While I really want to move from big tech and data hogging services, 5 euro a month for something that is basically a beta app is no fun.

  Some people say CSS is not a programming language. Me, I use it for things like this to alert journalists that the articles they copied pasted into WordPress editor has Microsoft safelinks in them. #css

  The Netherlands has Stockholm syndrome. All alarm bells are ringing to stop using BigTech or anything American. The Netherlands: we are selling our national login system company to all important/critical websites to a US based company. The Dutch tax service: We are going to contract US based company FAST to take over all our tax systems, and even we won't be able to login any more. If the cheeto wakes up tomorrow and decides he wants The Netherlands instead of Greenland, we will serv...
