It is of course very subjective to a lot of things, but I would say that for €200.000,- to €300.000,- you should be able to buy a nice apartment in the center of Sofia.

The spotlight search box can be used for (simple) math prompts. My Mac (M1 iMac on 15.3.2) has its language set to Dutch. In Dutch, the official way of formatting decimal numbers is the inverse of the us-English way: groups of numbers are separated by a . and decimals with a , . So, for example: 12.345,67 (12 thousand three-hundred forty-five and 67/100).

When following the official number formatting of the configured language, math in Spotlight works fine. But Dutch people are also human and make small mistakes sometimes, and we also sometimes use a dot to indicate a decimal. But if you do that, spotlight seems to just disregard the decimal and starts showing completely unexpected results:

5,0 + 5,0 = 10 (expected) 5,0 + 5.0 = 55 5.0 + 5.0 = 110

Interestingly, while typing the above on my iPhone 12 w iOS 18.3.2, the autocorrect suggestion given after pressing the =-sign was exactly the same…

Also, this behavior has been around for years, not just the recent MacOS versions. I’m not sure if this also is present when using other languages.

Thanks for your post and work, and say Hi from me to Tim!

I’m Dutch, I have no idea what a “Dutch baby” is… Can someone enlighten me please?

On a sidenote (and assuming you are based in the USA), we have the delicious filet americain (“American filet”), which does not have anything to do with America. If a Dutch baby is some kind of bread, perhaps try some American filet on it 🙂

If you can connect it back and heat it up to regular printing temperatures, you should be able to do a so-called “cold pull” that should fix it.

Seems to be La Perla in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). The logo matches the wine glass, the address matches the visible street sign, and most important: the place sells pizza.

Is the red/white band a Martenitsa? Happy baba Marta!

On topic, Bulgarians would call them палачинки (palachinki).

I remember reading somewhere that only the clock and calendar icons update, because they can do so without requiring internet connection and draining battery life in order to update. At least that was supposed to be the reading a long time ago (I think still in the Steve Jobs era)

Yes, they should totally bring back the firewire port!

How did they reattach the finger to the washing machine?

I would say option 2 (proxy with cache), where you only download requested images and try to cache them for a reasonable period of time that allows most users to see the post on the front page without much problems, and delete it afterwards (I’m not sure what value this would translate to, I’ve seen mentions of 48hours but that might be either too much or too little, I guess you know best what would work). I mostly use Lenny to browse new content, so that is most important to me. If I would ever go and explore older posts, I won’t mind older images possibly being broken.

Let’s assume the currency is £ (but that doesn’t really matter for the example).

Chips = £2.20

Chips + Cheese = £3.00

That means, that just the Cheese = £3.00 - £2.20 = £0.80

Chips + Beans = £2.50

That means, that just the Beans = £2.50 - £2.20 = £0.30

Chips + Cheese + Beans = £3.50

£2.20 + £0.80 + £0.30 = £3.30

I guess they did this so people don’t notice they are getting ripped off…

If you are on a random community, you can also ‘pull to refresh’ (pull down from the top of the list), which will load a new random community. Does that work properly?

Hehe, I’m still not convinced, but perhaps I could give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration though!

Whoa whoa whoa… Are you like very, very sure you made a toasted ham and cheese sandwich with… Suikerbrood? I’m 100% sure no Dutch person ever would dare to even think about abusing suikerbrood for that…

Exactly! Dutch dunes are mostly natural: beach sand is blown onto the land and started to pile up, eventually forming dunes. Even in the places where there are buildings facing the sea, they are at least 100(‘s) meters away from the coastline.

The man-made dikes are much more than just a pile of sand. To quote wikipedia:

Artificial levees require substantial engineering. Their surface must be protected from erosion, so they are planted with vegetation such as Bermuda grass in order to bind the earth together. On the land side of high levees, a low terrace of earth known as a banquette is usually added as another anti-erosion measure. On the river side, erosion from strong waves or currents presents an even greater threat to the integrity of the levee. The effects of erosion are countered by planting suitable vegetation or installing stones, boulders, weighted matting, or concrete revetments. Separate ditches or drainage tiles are constructed to ensure that the foundation does not become waterlogged.

That looks much better than what Dominos here sells as being Hawaiian pizza:
