Not Just Bikes — I Rode the Craziest Trains in Japan
  • The title is actually accurate, those are crazy trains. I love the Hello Kitty one

  • nebula.tv Not Just Bikes — I Rode the Craziest Trains in Japan

    Japan is famous for its trains. And for good reason. They’re fast. And frequent. And clean. With so many train companies trying to differentiate themselves, the Japanese have created some crazy trains that just don’t exist anywhere else.

    A cool guide to eye colour, including those induced by illness

  • Reward for fugitive ‘Cryptoqueen’ raised to $5m
  • I heard about this from a podcast called The Missing Cryptoqueen from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84

    In a way it's a classic ponzi scheme so in that sense it's not that novel. But this Dr. Ruja, as she was known by people who "bought" OneCoin, sold herself and OneCoin super well and took full advantage of the crypto craze. The scale and then disappearance are crazy.

    Maybe this is in the article but I think the leading theory is that she's in the UAE or Qatar or something. I assume she can't really travel but she can just live like an actual queen over there and those governments won't care about where he money came from.

  • Paris wants an AC-free Olympic Village. Team USA and others aren't so chill with it

  • This was a topic on a podcast called American Scandal. Can highly recommend, although the episodes on lobotomies were quite hard to listen to since it was so gruesome like you said. It made me very sad. Still, a very good listen and though horrible also very interesting.

  • Kabinet wil moordzaken oplossen via commerciële DNA-databanken, advocaten kritisch
  • Mijn partner denkt erover na om zo'n 23 and me achtige test te doen. Wel een goed artikel om naar te verwijzen, want je komt dan inderdaad in zulke databases terecht.

    Cold cases oplossen is leuk, maar ik ben echt zo huiverig om allemaal databases met DNA te hebben waar de overheid door kan zitten zoeken. Extreem voorbeeld maar voor Hitler zouden zulke databases een droom zijn om joden mee te kunnen vinden.

    [Match thread] Netherlands vs France (Leipzig, 21:00)
  • I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?

    Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.

  • [Match thread] Netherlands vs France (Leipzig, 21:00)
  • I'm biased but just to play devil's advocate: where is the limit?

    Imagine everyone is on one half of the pitch except for three players: an attacker with the ball 40 meters from goal, the goalie who is 25 meters from goal, and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

    The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

    I would argue it isn't and I think almost no referee would say it's offside simply because the goalkeeper didn't stand a chance to get anywhere close to the ball.

    This is an extreme case, but I feel like today Maignon also would never have gotten that ball.

    It's difficult because you can't always know if a goalkeeper would have been able to reach the ball without any interference, but there's gotta be some sort of line between true interference and irrelevant interference that would never change the outcome of what is about to happen.

    I probably agree it's offside. As a Dutch person I'm frustrated now, but if I were French I'd be annoyed if the goal had been allowed.

  • [Match thread] Austria vs France (Düsseldorf, 21:00)
  • Yeah it's a yellow according to the rules so fair enough. I just find it so unsportsmanlike that I wouldn't mind this being a red.

  • [Match thread] Belgium vs Slovakia (Frankfurt, 18:00)
  • Only saw the highlights. Plenty of chances for Belgium, unlucky with the two disallowed goals. Silly way to concede though and now it's a pretty crazy group with the two strongest teams on paper in the bottom two spots.

  • [Match thread] Austria vs France (Düsseldorf, 21:00)
  • Was hoping Austria could score but honestly they didn't really come close to a goal (in the second half anyway) and France had a few opportunities to make another.

    Ridiculous what Mbappé did when he came back on to the field just to sit down and waste time. Would be happy if they changed the rules to make that a straight red.

  • Wells Fargo workers using ‘mouse movers’ are getting caught and fired - The Verge
  • Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don't trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.

    I'm just saying it's possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren't getting much work done.

  • Wells Fargo workers using ‘mouse movers’ are getting caught and fired - The Verge
  • The article doesn't say the fired employees were doing this all the time. They could have used them for an hour here and there while they were out running an errand. Very difficult to spot that on any work review.

    Wat is een pollepel?
  • Ik ben blijkbaar in de grote minderheid!

  • Wat is een pollepel?
  • Ja dat zag ik ook, wat me verbaasde want ik kom niet uit de buurt van België!

  • Wat is een pollepel?

    Zoek op foto's van pollepels en je ziet voornamelijk twee typen pollepel:

    1. Een grote houten lepel
    2. Een diepe metalen lepel om bijvoorbeeld soep op te scheppen

    Ik zou voor type 1 altijd houten lepel zeggen en ben opgegroeid met definitie 2 en alleen 2.

    Wat zeggen jullie?
