  1. Het gaat bij Eva nu over de grote onvrede over de pakketbezorging in Nederland.

    Ik vind het zelf meevallen en wij bestellen best vaak online. Af en toe komt het eens voor dat we naar een pakketpunt moeten, terwijl ik gewoon thuis was. Maar ja, die bezorgers staan onder veel te hoge druk en moeten zo'n 200 pakketten per dag bezorgen.

    Bovendien is 1 of 2 dagen later vaak helemaal niet erg.

  4. A quotation from Banksy

       The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of the runners don’t even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water.
       Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side.
       It’s not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse.
       What we need in this race is a lot more streakers.

    Banksy (b. 1974?) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director
    Wall and Piece, “Rats” (2005)

  5. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    For my part, the thing that I would wish to obtain from money would be leisure with security. But what the typical modern man desires to get with it is more money, with a view to ostentation, splendour, and the outshining of those who have hitherto been his equals.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)

  6. Don't let yesterday, take today,
    don't ponder your past, go that way,
    learn from your past blast,
    but refocus fast,
    and see what's ahead, every day.

  7. #TIL dat het Franse equivalent van de #ratRace is métro, boulot, dodo:

    metro, werken, slaapjes doen.

  8. #RatRace

    Daarnaast is Nederland een van de weinige landen ter wereld waar het normaal is om baby's vanaf zes weken al naar de kinderopvang te brengen.

    Dat zit 'm onder meer in onze verlofregelingen. Werkende moeders krijgen tot twaalf weken na de bevalling volledig doorbetaald. Wie daarna weer gaat werken en bijvoorbeeld een werkende partner heeft, is in veel gevallen op de opvang aangewezen.

  9. Us Vs Them

    Alliances have been formed.

    Who will reign supreme.

    Hopefully David’s Palace of Cats will create the ultimate alliance.

    Proof that if we can do it, y’all can do it too.

  13. Gave my Irish coworker a bitter taste of America when I informed her that I'm taking my first 10 days off of work in about 2 decades.

  14. Today I got called out at my day job for not generating a report yesterday that is usually generated every Monday. It was a company holiday - Labor Day. I was expected to perform labor on Labor Day.

  15. Is this where the idea of a rat race comes from?

    "In John B. Calhoun’s early crowding experiments, rats were supplied with everything they needed – except space. The result was a population boom, followed by such severe psychological disruption that the animals died off to extinction. The take-home message was that crowding resulted in pathological behaviour – in rats and by extension in humans. For those pessimistic about Earth’s “carrying capacity,” the macabre spectacle of this “behavioural sink” was a compelling symbol of the problems awaiting overpopulation."

  16. "there is a growing feeling online that hard work is fortifying a system that, at best, is giving them nothing back and, at worst, is actively screwing them over. And so the “soft life” revolution was born"

  17. heyo!  #introduction time.  i tend to be #verbose, so i understand if my first #toot is seen as #tldr.

    i have been a strict #vegan for 10 years.  my #family is small.  my only #son is an #electrical #engineer who is a #licensed #PE in 4 states.  i live with 3 #dogs - an older #yorkie and 2 much younger #biewer terriers.  i also keep an #aquatic #turtle and maintain a #worm #farm for him.

    i'm twice #retired, first from the #military, and then from a #normal life.  i'm an #intel #alumnus, having spent 12 years in #post-silicon #validation of #processors and #chipsets.

    i'm quite new to the #fediverse.  in #discord they call me #grey or #wolf.

    in that #platform i'm either in several #Crypto servers, or in servers full of social/gaming #bots (the #OwO #bot is my #escape from the #ratrace).

    my #interests are mostly #technology, #animals, and #music.

    i built my first #x86 #computer in 1993.  i've been #crypto #mining for 7 years.  i build my own #rigs.

    and now i've reached the limit.
