And Japan is only a week after that. Honestly I think Qatar would be more realistic (2 weeks after Japan).

I don't think I've ever seen the entire field so tight. It's just Max in the RBR that stands out.

Last weekend I was at a formula 1 race. And we got soaked in dihydrogen monoxide there....

Similarly there is pfSense for firewall/router/vpn/etc. It's just rocksolid and stable.

Fun fact: all the trains between Amsterdam and Zandvoort will have two drivers. One on each end of the (extra long) trains. So they drivers won't have to switch seats when going back and forth.

It bit of rain is ok. Hopefully not too much, since I'll be in the grandstands tomorrow and sunday 😁

Today we had quite heavy rain in the some parts of the country. Zandvoort was pretty ok today though.

I was thinking the same thing. I usually use the full res option. It's been in there for years.

I still have mine. In a box somewhere in the attic though 😁

Loved mine, worked so much better than a discman on the go. They never got much traction here in the Netherlands though.

In the same period you also had dcc (digital) tapes. Never had one of those myself.

Yes US is very different in that aspect. I live in the Netherlands. Most people here have an app from their bank, with which you basically can do all your banking with. For payments between people, you can simply create a payment request in your banking app, and send a link to it via text, whatsapp, whatever. When clicking the link it will open the receivers own banking app with which the transfer can be me. Just the bank accounts, and amounts are already preset. It's very easy to use, works with every bank, and everybody just uses the app from their own bank with all it's safety measures.

Personally I hardly ever use cash anymore. Just tapping your phone to pay is so much more convenient. Also keeping track of where you spend your money is easier.

Out here we used to have atm machines everywhere. Their number has declined greatly though. They are still around, you will usually have to check a map if you're in place where you don't know their locations. Cash usage has definitely declined a lot these last year.

That being said, I think getting rid of cash completely is a bad idea. Cash certainly has it's usage / advantages.

It also seems to differ from country to country by the way. For example Germany, still uses cash a lot more than we do here.
