People often complain "why is this language-learning app teaching me phrases like 'the radishes are scheming' and not 'may I have the bill'? I have a vacation in this country next week!" If you have a vacation in that country next week, google a list of tourist phrases and memorize it by rote […]

Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen. A lot of people are tourists (American or […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I prefer wired headphones. I do not ever want to think about a blue tooth ever. However, I swear that the quality of headphone jacks has gone downhill dramatically since wireless ones became cheap. My recollection is that they had an average service life longer than two months, at some point.

Currently doing the “Dutch immigration office is uniquely unhinged about not allowing you into the building more than five minutes before your appointment, which you also must absolutely not be even one minute late for” thing At least it’s not pouring rain like the last time I had to do this

I am currently planning on attending the anti-Trump protest in Amsterdam this Saturday afternoon from 1 pm outside the US consulate, and I am planning to bring Odin if it's not too hot. If you google this, you will find a sign-up form. Do not sign up for protests, no matter how well-intentioned […]

Odin when you try to brush him after dinner: this is a crime against dognity. I will fight you tooth and claw. I will rearrange all the furniture in this house until you accede to my demands of no brushies. I will win a landmark case in the Supreme Court about the inherent right of all dogs to […]

Odin and I ran into a very autistic-coded queer-coded American child about twelve years old who’d literally just gotten off the plane today to move to the Netherlands. Their father didn’t say why they’d decided to leave, but. Yeah. The right call.

I assume this brand-new bike path is so curvy to intentionally prevent blasting straight through it at high speed, as there are a lot of pedestrians and equestrians in the area too. Also… yep, still as cold and wet as it was in January. But at least it’s […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Odin was off-lead to play with the neighborhood hyperactive herder dog, which went great until a very unlucky Pomeranian wandered into view. Odin somehow got all four paws tangled in the Pomeranian's lead while the poor tiny thing howled and cowered, believing that the end times had come. Odin […]
