And before you ask: yes, metal spikes on bicycle tires are legal in Germany and in most other countries.
makes sense I guess, since there's not a 1.5 ton machine on top of them

@KarlHeinzHasliP @0xabad1dea wouldn't say it snows every year (anymore); where I live this is the first time it's properly snowed in years

thank u mr thunderbird
a dialog box saying "The link you just clicked seems to lead to another site than what the link text indicated. This is sometimes used for tracking whether you clicked the link, but it could also be a scam. The link text indicated that the link would lead to my.dhlecommerce.nl, but it leads to ghcbcag.r.af.d.sendibt2.com." with buttons to go to the tracking link anyway, one to cancel, and one to just go to dhlecommerce.nl

i'll always love the dutch warning sign for slippery conditions.

in most countries, the tracks just wiggle around a bit. in the netherlands, the car just did a full 180 and is about to tip over
a triangular traffic sign with a red rim, categorising it as a warning, with a car facing towards you with tracks crossing over each other

pet peeve: blue christmas lights. blue is not a christmas colour. christmas is green and red, and a bunch of warm colours

also blue leds are just jarring

@jwildeboer Do you still do the occasional set now, or have you left that in the '90s?
