Yes, European :)

But the egg dispenser is something I once 3d printed when it was still a hobby.
Can’t seem to find the original design anymore though.

Oh, I think it’s this one: https://www.printables.com/model/70036-fridge-spiral-egg-holder

We use this thing instead of the carton.

My dad had something even older, but the first computer I got to use was our Wang 286

I remember that post! I had a lot of fun generating people’s usernames :)

I guess we can always do another one?

Looks to me like it’s still standing :)

But comes with body dysmorphic disorder. You’ll never be satisfied with how you look.

First thing that popped into my mind as well.
It was ridiculous how fast it could go through those 6 batteries.
Eventually my parents got sick of having to buy them and I was only allowed to play using a power adapter.

I tend to just leave them out all together. Don’t know why though, maybe it’s faster?
It feels a bit like when you read a book fast and skip over entire words.

“Need to do some cleaning.”
“How could this be done faster?”
Or a common one:
“Hungry” :)

It was just a basic guideline being taught to me back then. And I guess it’s mainly for cruising speeds. You might want to stick with a lower gear for accelerating. There are of course all kinds of exceptions. And NL is basically flat, so I don’t know about hills :)

But the km/h list gives me something to fall back on when in doubt. Driving is stressful enough for me as it is.

I took my driving lessons with a manual, but have been driving automatic for over a decade now.
Whenever I do need to drive a manual, I usually need a while to get used to it again. At those moments I make use of the guidelines that were taught to me by my driving instructor:

1. Is for getting the car going and getting in or out of a parking spot.
2. Is for speeds up to 25 km/h
3. Is for speeds up to 45 km/h
4. Is for speeds up to 75 km/h
5. Is for anything beyond

It’s a simple helper that matches most of the common speed zones in the Netherlands (30, 50, 80). From what I can quickly read, the 80 zone is 90 in Romania, so it should still work?

Anyway, don’t worry too much. It is also nice not having to drive at all if it comes down to that, your boyfriend’s family sounds nice :)
Enjoy your trip!

And…… signed!

Sure! Here you go :)

And here’s the whole image with the rest of my doodles:

Right now it’s these mochi I doodled:

I think an important factor for standing out from the local applicants could be the potential domain knowledge you bring to the table.

Plenty of developers around. But a developer with extensive knowledge and experience with, for example, specific logistic chains is a lot harder to find. In my (limited) experience it is often a reason why an exception for hiring foreign talent is made.
Skills can be learned with a course and a certificate, but domain knowledge comes from hard earned experience in specific industries.

650 years ago this place was a sea. So I’d end up having to swim at least a couple of kilometers. Considering the current sea temperatures, I’d probably die of hypothermia before I could reach the shore.

Bamboo rats feed on the underground roots of bamboo plants.
I’m not sure how much of an impact they make, but I can imagine they keep some of the growth in check.

Pfff, that’s nothing. I can easily make it to the top 95% without even trying.

I really love Jack Vance’s world building. His Gaean Reach setting gives an endless variety of cultures, customs and beliefs. And the Dying Earth novels formed the basis for magic system of DnD.

But the real treasure is in how he can let these worlds come alive with his descriptions. Often he would spend a whole paragraph describing something that will never be part of the story but manages to perfectly set the tone of the local atmosphere.

I grew with these books (thanks to my dad’s impressive personal SF library) and they’ve always managed to spark my imagination like no other book.
