Patting myself on the back (but I can't because my back is too damn thick.)
But it is pretty cool that I am about 40, 2m, 100kg, and can do a decent set of pull ups.
But God do I hate pull ups.

Wherein the Dutch phenomenon of NIMBYs lodging complaints against construction projecta in hopes of a settlement payout is described.
As construction financing does not really exist here, the prepaid unit owners have to pay.

Not at fucking all here in the Netherlands lol.
"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

It is funny watching both NYers and Europeans, who have no contextual relationship with cultural and political values in America but outside of urban areas, think that the content that resonates in NYC is particularly transferable.

In the past week here in the Netherlands the NYC mayoral race has had more media coverage (from my listening) than the actual elections and government formation underway here in NL.
While I appreciate that NYC is better and more important than the Netherlands, it's just weird.

I find it hilarious that I moved back to a random Dutch town and the Halloween quality here (not typical in NL, actually controversial) is better than in the typical American town.

When you have to double check you are not reading Dutch.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

As someone who live through the takeover of MTA Bus Co routes from private operators to MTA ownership...
Part of my job is comparing the costs of insourcing versus outsourcing bus operations. It's complex and switching from one to the other doesn't reliably cut or increase costs. Economy of scale, deadhead length and union agreements factors much more than public versus private overhead.
