Every sixty seconds, a woman in Britain gives birth. She. Must. Be. Exhausted.

The official reason is so that Big G is the default search engine on every install.

But that may very well just be a smokescreen.

NL guy here.

So a centre marking tells me it’s an 80 km/h road, and the side markings, together with the trees off to the side, aim to optically narrow the road, making drivers more conscious of their speed. This is part of the Dutch universally applied standards of traffic calming.

If there were only markings on the side, usually a little inwards from the roadside, it’d be a 60 km/h road. This would be even more pronounced if the space outside of those lines had red asphalt. In such a case, it’s sometimes allowed, or even expected, for cyclists to cycle in the main roadway.

On this location though, the bike lane is off to the side. It’s an 80 km/h road, that’s too fast for on-street cycling.

As a Dutch person, nah. Double sided guardrails are the norm in here. It’s relatively uncommon to find a guard rail that’s single sided.

As someone who lives there, you’d wish. Instead it’s a real place to be envious of 😛

And even a smaller Bakfiets will readily handle over 99% of the listed cases.

If the item shows any black-body radiation in the wavelength range of visible light, i.e. it can be seen with the Mk. 1 Eyeball, it’s absolutely too hot too touch, let alone eat.

Not to forget that if it’s glowing red, it may be hot enough to set your head on fire the instant you stick it in your mouth. So do not eat anything that’s glowing red from black-body radiation

If it’s red from black-body radiation, you should be more than fine with regards to contaminants.

You should be more concerned with nutrition. Or the current complete lack thereof. After all, anything healthy has by that point gone up in smoke.

City “twinning” goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.

I call them crackberries.

To be Devil’s Advocate:
Given that the rest written in Comic Sans, it may be an early elementary school exercise, aimed at teaching kids to do multiplications. In this case, it’s tolerable and/or defensible to find a simplification for pi.

That said, making pi equal to 3 would have been more accurate for that…

Counterpoint: all countries in the European case are in the Schengen area, and you can make the entire journey without ever having to take your passport out of your pocket. The same cannot be said in the American case.

If we’re staying on land within the Schengen Area, from the sea in southwest Portugal, all the way to just before the Estonian-Russian border at Narva is 2 days. And it’s Schengen the whole way there, so no border checks anywhere on the way.

Hunby looks like he’ll offer you a sports car if you’re the last person to take your hand off it.

Nah, that’s his mate Chungus. This guy Chunus has been overshadowed for most of his life.
