Friends of mine are expecting a child. They have an app to compare the current size of the baby. It has the weirdest choices:

• Wedding cake (they are always the same size? Depends on the budget right? So if you’re rich your child is bigger than when you’re poor, when it’s the wedding cake size?)
• flat box of chocolates (always the same size? Flat child?)
• small popcorn bucket
• small pinguin (there are so many differently sized small pinguïns)
• cotton candy (last one I had was huge, I feel sorry for the woman with a child that size in their womb)
• maki
• jackfruit
• rhubarb (so it’s a stick shaped child?)
• kitten (a grows the most as a kitten. They are kitten for the first year. It’s like saying the size of your baby is the size of a baby.)

I have no clue what these sizes are exactly. I do know what 10cm or 20cm is.

I’m confused. I read an article about the new 3310 getting the ability to install apps, a long time ago. I found an article on how to do so, but it doesn’t look like the 3310 screen in the screenshots but a general android OS. I thought it had a simplified OS, either their own or a stripped down android (unsure) as it has a tiny screen.

It’s the Nokia 3310 4G model according to this article. But it might be a generic article in which they have the phone model automatically generated by the one you search for?

Example of the difference between Italians and the Dutch when it comes to coffee:

Schiphol airport: a “coffee” is 7,90, is basically water with a slight coffee taste. Not regular Dutch coffee (like americano) but more like tea.

Milan airport: 2,90 for a double espresso, actually really properly made espresso from high quality beans.

No one beats the Italians when it comes to coffee. At Schiphol airport they’re not even trying (who cares, no one is a returning customer anyway, fuck them, let’s cheap out on freaking coffee, something which barily costs anything to make)

It even runs WhatsApp and Signal now, or at least, that was the plan a while back. And it’s only like 60 euros or something. Perfect for multiple day festivals and camping trips at least.

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

You’re not a fucking airport, Google!

I was wrong, Lavazza isn’t owned by Dr pepper but has a partnership. In the Dutch article it says Dr pepper already has other coffee brands including Lavazza. I assumed ownership, as that’s the usual meaning of wording it that way in Dutch (I’m Dutch myself).

Yeah sorry, based on assumption. Because the US (plus a few tiny islands) refuses to switch to metric even though imperial is obsolete and complicated. It’s also usual practice in the US to use weird things for measurements. Cars, dishwashers, etc.

So in this case it was a wrong assumption on my part.

I’m deeply sorry.

Wrong. Douwe Egberts also continues to produce in the Netherlands, but the profits go to the mother company, in this case in the US. Same with Lavazza. The only money that goes to Italy is to the wages of its workers. I doubt they pay much taxes as these giant corps usually find ways to avoid that.

Other people (me) hate it.

You mean wannabe US? (never truly accepted metric system, even discussed to change back to imperial)

Edit: fair point though. My bad.

I don’t get why Americans are doing their best to avoid the metric system. It’s always weird discriptions. Like dishwashers, or in this case, half a giraffe. Just use bananas if (cubic) meters are too complex.

This ruined my day

In the Netherlands they want to spread out all the Amsterdam tourists around more. There are increasingly more tourists coming to my city now… I hate it. Leave them in the shitty Amsterdam, don’t ruin my city. Amsterdam is a city full of self centered assholes and it’s a tourism theme park. No harm in leaving it that, way.

Fucking the couch in the oval office.

American concentration camps. Don’t make it sound less than it was.

Oh but that’s not an issue. We The Netherlands produce enough xtc for everyone!

Edit: only world leaders need to take xtc when making decisions. That’s already going to make a huge difference.

Finally something so I can walk home when drunk.
