Misschien ben ik ook gewoon kritischer geworden. Of voel ik de pijn van diverse internationale verhuizingen.

Was pas in Nederland voor het eerst sinds ruim een decennium weer bij de Slegte en vond het ramsj aanbod erg tegenvallen.

Same. Well, except that if AI took everyone's job, we'd be able to grow mangos in the English countryside.
