Het verbaast me gigantisch dat de media in de berichtgeving over hooikoorts niks over luchtreinigers zeggen.
Een luchtreiniger is een heel simpele oplossing waarmee je binnenshuis de symptomen enorm kunt verminderen, simpelweg door de pollen uit de lucht te filteren. Ramen dicht (wel roosters open, mechanische ventilatie aan), luchtreiniger op hoge stand, en een kwartier tot half uur later is de lucht geklaard.
Gebruik bij voorkeur een "te grote" HEPA-luchtreiniger, dan werkt ie sneller.

at this time I’d like to go on record saying “???” in response to everyone who seems to be surprised every time corporations do things according to their profit motive. just some real frog and the scorpion shit

“but now that you have stung me, we will both surely drown,” said the users to the profit-seeking corporation.
“lol,” said the corporation. “lmao”
It's like, how much more obvious can you make it that you as a reviewer are just deeply uncomfortable with anything that challenges the status quo, and you don't *really* have any credible criticisms
You know a history debunking book is good when all the 'critical' reviews boil down to "yeah well but it's not really considering <extremely widespread and already widely-believed narrative> so it's rather one-sided"
(And I can immediately think of two books for which this is the case)
Why is it that Arriva can't seem to run a bus on time to save their lives
This is how it *always* is, by the way, and 121 is nearly always late without showing as such on the planner

I hate it when I'm in the Hilbert Hotel and in the middle of the night I'm waken up by the PA and have to move from room 808017424794512875886459904961710757005754368000000000 to room 1616034849589025751772919809923421514011508736000000000 because an infinite number of jackasses decided to arrive in the middle of the night
Okay, what the hell is going on with this map attribution

How do blind people make music? Do blind music makers have a desire for tools to make their experience better? Is there open source software that could just use a little bit of a kick to be usable? I am a sighted programmer and I would love to hear about this topic.

Goedemorgen! Wie nog geïnteresseerd is in de aanleg van de nevengeul van de Waal tussen Nijmegen en Lent: Google Earth heeft oude luchtfoto's teruggezet uit die tijd.
Ook van andere dingen zijn weer/nog de bouwputten te zien.
Benieuwd of dit vanwege de Dag van de Bouw is (de nevengeulbouwplaats was opengesteld tijdens een eerdere DvdB), of een foutje van tante Goog.
advice, Reddit, Twitter, Freenode
All I can say here to Reddit users is: keep fighting against this shit, keep being noisy about it, keep sabotaging spez's shit and use shitposting and ridicule as a weapon
Reddit itself probably cannot be saved, but the social cohesion of your community can be!
re: Reddit, Twitter, Freenode
Of course Freenode is now an irrelevant shell of its former self that is still Technically An Existing IRC Network, and Twitter is in flames and being evicted from all of its offices (metaphorical ones included), so uh yeah
Reddit, Twitter, Freenode
After Twitter with Musk, now it's Reddit with spez seemingly trying to pull the same shit as Andrew Lee did with Freenode, like trying to turn users against staff by waffling on about pseudo-"democracy"
These Tech Dudes(tm) really are all just copies from the same factory, aren't they

There’s a special place in hell for greedy men who take a beloved online community space and fuck it up on purpose.
Special fucking place.

nazi memes
@Shrigglepuss also: codifying good/bad by reference to nazi value systems (physical and intellectual might vs weakness, disfigurement, unmasculinity, etc) because that meme framework was invented by nazis to communicate nazi value systems
