Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.

About 20 years ago, there was only dial-up internet available in my street. My parents lived about 200 m away from me in another street, and they could get ADSL. So I set up a wireless bridge to them, and it worked surprisingly well after some tweaking. Kept it running for a few years, eventually got my own connection because one day my dad called me because he needed the router password. Turns out he was also sharing the connection with his neighbour who was running an internet radio station.

That’s my fetish…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Wireless almost had it right.

Reminds me of Wireless Seattle, that must be what, 25 years ago?

I’ve heard deflation is the end of the world!

Boulderdash 2, Kickstart 2, Jumpman jr, Hawkeye and Flimbo’s quest. And probably tons of others I’ve forgotten about unfortunately.

Thanks Trump!

Govt subsidies? Really?

A head with beautiful hair too!

Opium is being consumed for at least 5000 years, and has only been banned (mostly) in the last 150 years. In the 19th century there were two opium wars between western powers and China because the latter banned the use and import of opium. So opium was definitely grandfathered and normalized not too long ago.

I don’t think Einstein hurt the bottom line of anyone, his work was mostly theoretical.

Not quite 2005, but in 2006 olga.net was taken down by the music industry. It only got worse from there.

She did, after deriving the formula for the needed paper size. Also, the Mythbusters seemed to have used a steamroller, so I wonder if it was still a folded piece of paper, or more a block of paper similar to how damascus steel is made.

There was a girl who folded a piece of paper in half 12 times in 2002… Link

It does, but google decided I needed to buy a new one, not download the manual.

I used to be pretty good at googling stuff, but the last 1 or 2 years it just won’t work anymore. For instance, I had to charge a battery yesterday, and the power led started blinking when I put the battery in. I didn’t know if this meant either charging or faulty battery, so I googled it. Got pages of ads for this particular charger, but no answer. So google is just a big marketplace these days, and nothing more.

Just so you know, a dremel battery is charging when the power led blinks.

You’ve just proved the point, there are plenty of good regions for sparkling white wine which are not named Champagne.

But think of all the poor people working in advertising who will be without a job!
