    This will be up to two relevant factors, only the first you know in advance:

    1. The more densily populated an area the more effort will be spend locating survivors, if you survive a flood but live remotely it on average will take longer before you are located.
    2. The extent of the emergency, the bigger the area the more available resources (including effort/ human energy) are spread out. If the flood covers a lot of area, it will on average take longer for help to reach you.

    It is very unlikely there will not be any help coming.

    If you survive a flood you might have gotten wet which will have massive influence on your ability to maintain a desirable body temperature. If the flood comes with bad weather and you have no acces to heating or a place to shelter hypothermia might kill you before contaminated water can. If you can shelter in place and you’re safe in your own (or somebody elses) home bottled water and/or a water filter might be a great thing though, just trying to say what you’ll need depends entirely on what situation you end up in.




  • My belief of what this community dislikes comes down to shitty infrastructure and danger to unprotected individuals just having a good time. Also a bit fossil fuels, but I feel that’s mainly a bonus point here. So motorcycles fall in the category car infrastructure and danger to others at high speed (and a small bit fossil fuel), but ebikes fall in the category bike infrastructure so that’s good although they are still a danger at high speeds but then again also no fossil fuels.

    So scoring between -2.5 (heavy car with ice) to +2.5 (slow durable bike), I’d say ebikes score at least +1.5 here. Wich you could translate to 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 so very much not like motorcycles which I would score -2, which is 3 out of 10.





  • I’m dutch and grew up in the Netherlands, they’re so ubiquitous here you learn at a young age and so many people are cycling it is easy to learn from looking at what others do and still we have kids do an exam in the last year before high school, they have to learn the rules and cycle a certain route while people in plain clothes check if you know them.

    On the other hand, that is necessary because kids would otherwise learn the rules way later when trying to get their drivers license. I can imagine someone who knows the rules for cars would feel belittled by having to be educated on something ‘inferior’ after they already got their drivers license.

    But I wonder, do people not follow the rules because they don’t know them (= they need to be educated) or because they don’t like them (= the rules need to be enforced)?

    You can hate al you want but if you follow that line of thought paintings are just ‘painted images’ and photo’s are just ‘photographed images’. There is a lot of paintings that have 0 artistic value (like when done by children) and photographs that have 0 artistic value (like pictures of holidays and vacations etc). There being a lot of AI with 0 artistic value doesn’t mean there can’t be such a thing as AI Art.




  • Dit is duidelijk een voorbeeld waarbij de meerderheid regeert in het nadeel van een minderheid. Als 60-70% geen huis kon kopen hadden we al lang geen hypotheekrente aftrek meer en een hogere erfbelasting ook waarschijnlijk. Maar aangezien er zoveel mensen er een koophuis hebben (fijn voor hun hoor, gun het ze, daar niet van), is het een onpopulaire maatregel om hun belasting te verhogen in het voordeel van de mensen zonder huis. Wat ook niet helpt is dat ook als je een koophuis hebt het leven alsmaar duurder wordt. Maar los van alle regeltjes, de schaarste aan huizen drijft de prijs natuurlijk ook alleen maar op - hoop vooral dat daar wat aan gedaan wordt.



  • 3 days ago someone posted a link to an article by The Insider titled Polish researchers trace Baltic GPS disruptions to Russian military sites in Kaliningrad about finding the source of navigational system failures (by either spoofing or jamming coordinates) on thousands of aircraft and ships in the baltic sea and the airspace of the surrounding countries. This is what I commented on that post:

    Yesterday someone posted a link to an article by france24 titled The church by the airport: Inside Russia’s suspected spy activities in Sweden on how Russia is suspected to use the Moscow Patriarchate church as a platform for espionage. Recently I commented on a few posts about Kremlin-related activities in Europe. Below is a copy of what I commented the last time:

    Yesterday someone posted a link to an article on news.err.ee titled Arson attack on Ukrainian restaurant in Estonia ordered by Russian intelligence, I decided it would make sense to copy my comment on that article here.

    5 days ago someone posted link to an article by united24media titled Russian Saboteurs Reportedly Torch German Military Trucks in Erfurt in Brazen Attack on NATO Soil. I thought it’d be nice to copy my comment on that post.

    Yesterday someone posted a link to an article in The Sun, it’s headline was Britain’s migrant crisis being fuelled by Putin’s Russia and other hostile states in secret plot to destabilise UK; I feel I might just as well copy and paste my comment to that post:

    The amount of shit Russia pulls without getting any kind repercussion truly astonishes me.
