A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.

It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.

Owning a boat is hella expensive though, a bike is just 50 / year for maintenance (or less, or more when it gets stolen)

This could end up being a very expensive monkey candle, in space.

But imagine the friends we'll make along the way

Hey, I'm the CEO CTO of a Brand New Startup named Crayonz. I can launch a rocket filled with crayons and six highly trained ~~monkey~~ AI models to mask the satellite.

I just need 1.6 billion BTC for Funding A, but we can make this work! Think of the AI benefits and Space Synergy.

Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It's so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.

A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they're in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.

They were probably in the Reddit comments though.

This is fun to work with. To hell with these overly spacious UIs, just use Windows 98 styling.

Only downside is using aria-label as selector, making internationalization an issue.

I'm actively trying to avoid it, but even in The Netherlands it's hard to avoid the talk of the town.

Because they're using events and downloading a few megabytes of extra javascript framework is, of course, a way better option than six lines of SVG stylesheets.
