Been watching Sam for years since he was living in unused commercial buildings and constructing diy mad scientist synths. He's a real and genuine guy, he deserved more.
Up to 2 years, apparently. It was a huge shock to me too; I'm still coming to grips with it? Honestly, I didn't want to take it but my boss strongly urged me to talk to the company doc and here we are.
American in the Netherlands:
Woke up at 9 without my alarm, had coffee and a joint. No work today because I got put on burnout leave.
12: Had lunch, scheduled some appointments.
2pm: rode to supermarket and then the beach to have some champagne, joints, and make some music on my portable groovebox. I'll be here till sunset.
Might stop at my local pub for a beer and dinner afterwards.
No friends because NL is lonely as hell((
But yes, life is much better in Europe, even in the Netherlands ( I just personally don't really care for it)
I'm pretty frugal, over analyze every damn purchase into decision paralysis and never actually click order. As a result I have a healthy savings account... Which I should be investing, but yeah, decision paralysis.
It helps that I like vintage junk like Soviet camera lenses and watches that cost 1/10th of the new stuff so it doesn't really hurt my wallet when I do get impulsive. Still agonize over those purchases though.
You're kinda wrong man. There's a bunch of counties where dollars are essentially the main currency. I go to Lebanon often and yeah, USD is the main currency, esp after the financial crisis a few years ago. There's also Ecuador where USD is the actual official currency.
Not sure what camera you're shooting on, but if blurry photos are an issue I would suggest to increase the shutter speed as fast as possible. You might need to increase iso to compensate. If your camera has a shutter priority mode, try that and set the speed to something like 1/500 or faster.
Also keep the camera close to your body, tuck in your elbows. You can also use your environment, like leaning on a tree or wall. I'm often bracing against things if I need a bit more steadyness, esp in low light.
I'm a recruiter, this is 100% their default rejection template. It's pretty standard, but at least they let you know! I've been looking for a new role lately and you're lucky to get that DQ email and not just ghosted.
Probably what led me to being vegan. I can't stand the hypocrisy of some animals deserving compassion and others not. I also work for a company in sustainability/energy transition, and the amount of people who "care" about sustainability and the environment and yet still drool when they see a steak is too high.
Telstar (NL): Bad. Were going back down but it was expected after getting promoted to the eredivisie from like 7th place. Honestly, the club was more fun in the lower division.
After realizing I'm probably ADD, I was watching a lecture about ADHD and the psychiatrist described it as basically "diabetes of the mind", that was an oh moment.

I'm still working, just reduced hours.

Arrested development should come back as well, we can just collectively decide that the Netflix seasons don't exist.

What lens is that? The bokeh looks great
I did not expect to be living in the Zoids universe, but here we are.

I would also like to check it out! If anyone sees this, my code is 4787837
I'm convinced the whole Dutch directness thing is just a marketing ploy to put a positive spin on their poor communication and apathy.

In case you don't know: https://www.pessmokepatch.com/
Standalone modded PES, updated rosters with no purchase required as old pes is essentially abandonware
This is what it's like going to any event in the Netherlands.
