I could see it also being a problem if you're trying to remove a cable with a stuck latch. Wiggle it around a bit, accidentally hold down the button... oops

Historically, as I understand it, what they would drink would be pretty weak ABV. 2-3%. Barely beer at all. It'd be plenty hydrating.

Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc...

Oh, sweety. If you think there are no abortions in Texas now, I have a great deal on seafront property in Florida for you.

Did they cancel congestion pricing? Last I heard it was working really well.

Ah. Trying to revoke some federal approvals for it, up in the air as to whether they can.

Great. Fuckstick.

Clearly a Dutch flag torn in half.

The point is that it's a passive process, not an active one. No need for pumping.

Water is so much denser than air that you do get more exposure time per unit time.

Really loved this one.

Don't worry, when the tree he's under starts letting the rain through, he'll just move to a new tree.

The concentration isn't as important as the difficulty to remove it. It's still a hard problem, but rock weathering is one way to accomplish it, but it would need a lot of exposed rock surface.

A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I'm WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can't be arsed to look it up.

Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.

 

Today's bake. 30g gluten flour, 270g sprouted whole spelt flour, 700g AP flour, 80g wheat germ. 850g water, 150g starter.

Added in 50g flax soaked 100g water, 50g chiaseed 100g water, 50g each sunflower and pumpkin seeds. 30g salt. Topped with black sesame seeds.

 

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.

 

From a Youtube comment:

Pour one out for an OG memelord.
