It is real. And I think it continues with this snake pretending to be a female so many males try to mate with him, thereby warming him up and allowing him to ~~sneak in and mate with an actual female snake~~ join the mating frenzy

Loon voor die externe docenten is niet hoger overigens, als we de grafiek in het artikel mogen geloven.

Ik geloof dat de gemeente Amsterdam nu een systeem heeft waar scholen geen externe docenten meer inhuren maar waar nodig docenten rouleren tussen scholen.

Als elke school een paar extra docenten in loondienst heeft heb je in het beste geval meer leraren voor je klassen en als het nodig is heb je de invaldocenten al op school.

Het ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap geeft scholen steeds vaker geld in de vorm van subsidies. Er komt daardoor incidenteel geld binnen bij de scholen, waardoor vaste contracten lastig te vergeven zijn. Die zekerheid kunnen externe bureaus wel bieden aan zzp-docenten, omdat de vraag naar docenten onverminderd hoog blijft.

Wie heeft dit kutsysteem nou weer bedacht? Waarom niet gewoon €X per leerling ofzo? Nu zijn scholen alleen maar meer geld kwijt.

Ik vind het triest dat we in Nederland meer dan genoeg geld hebben om iets als het onderwijs goed te kunnen regelen, maar een soort "penny wise, pound foolish" approach hebben waardoor het soms lijkt alsof je best efficiënt bezig bent maar onder de streep vaak veel duurder uit bent.

Zelfde verhaal met het OV en de gezondheidszorg. Daar zit een laagje privatisatie op onder het mom van efficiëntie, maar uiteindelijk is het vooral gecompliceerder en duurder geworden.

It's just pushing and turning. There's no buttons on it or anything.

I have one (though only for boiling water, not cold/filtered) and it's really not difficult or complicated. I have friends with kids who have one and they know how to use it.

[–] johan 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure. I get the complications are useful for people who want to catch up on the whole week in one go, but I would think many people watch daily.

I have to skip the first 6/7ths of the video and just watch the end. Bit annoying and also odd, because it would seem like it's no effort to upload day 7 on its own as well as the compilation.

I have this, instant boiling water from the tap!

!As an orangers fan, that was way too close for comfort. I think their luck will run out soon, but happy to see them survive another week. The start of this week was terrible though, and the last race again poor. I think it's partially a mental issue, of not wanting it enough. I can even sense a degree of complacency. It makes you wonder what the coaching staff is doing behind the scenes and why Mandarin doesn't seem to be performing as well as she can.!<

Heb er even naar gekeken. Voor uitwedstrijden van Ajax moet je een seizoenskaart hebben en dan ook nog een "nationale uitkaart". Ik denk dat er veel meer mensen naar uitwedstrijden willen dan dat er kaarten zijn, dus dat lijkt relatief moeilijk helaas. Maar ik ken wel iemand die soms naar uitwedstrijden gaat geloof ik, dus zal het aan hem vragen.

Is het voor PEC ook zo moeilijk?

Ik moet hierbij trouwens ook denken aan de uitwedstrijd naar Bodo glimt, waarbij Ajacieden met sledehonden naar het stadion waren gegaan; geniaal idee hahaha.

Haha geweldig dit zeg. Wel echt dedication

Better late than never, right?

Gast pleur echt heel hard op met zulke comments. Op wie wil je dan dat Amerikanen gaan stemmen? Je krijgt maar twee opties. Dan maar de minst slechte. Als we in Nederland zouden moeten kiezen tussen D66 en PVV dan toch veel liever D66?

So yeah "things" are shittier, because nowadays we have the ability to live in a nearly post-scarcity society but we just don't wanna.

Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries. We've always had the ability to not kill each other or fight for resources. But many people, then and now, don't want that.

The way civilizations/empires/countries have operated has largely been competitive. It's naive to think we'll all just come together and solve these very complicated problems.

Saying that people are stupid or racist... I don't think that barely has anything to do with what prevents all major countries of the world to work together to combat things like disease, climate change, inequality, etc.

How do you define "things"?

On a global scale and on average, life for humans is getting significantly better than, say, a century ago. The number of people dying from preventable diseases, war, natural disasters has been steadily going down for a while now.

Of course there are many more people on earth than there were 100 years ago, so accumulatively there is a lot more suffering now.

Also, the lives of individual people, the state of certain countries and areas are certainly getting worse.

As for non-human animals... For most of them the world is getting increasingly less habitable and for those who are raised in an industrial setting for human consumption, living conditions are largely atrocious.

I think your question is too broad for a single answer. But you might be interested in this now 17 year old (!) TED talk by the late Hans Rosling, which at least partially answers your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w

Don't like Real Madrid either but rather they win it than PSG, Man City, Chelsea, etc.

But yeah actually I think of the remaining teams I'd love it if Dortmund would win. Bayern rather than Real, Real rather than PSG.

Real Madrid I at least have some respect for as a club and institution. Not that they haven't done morally and legally questionable things, but PSG and City are operating on a whole different level in that regard.

 

Calvin Bassey verruilt Ajax na één seizoen voor Fulham. De verdediger tekent bij de Engelse club, die vorig seizoen tiende werd in de Premier League.

 

I have an iphone for work that I'm also allowed to use for personal stuff. I don't use it often, but it has a great camera and is a useful backup for 2FA if I would lose my primary (android) phone.

It also gives me the option to use Apple Pay. Paying with my android doesn't work, my bank's app is shitty. It would be useful to have an alternative for my bank card, so I was considering setting up Apple Pay.

But I wanted to know: what information will apple get if I use Apple Pay? Do they get the payment details of every payment I make? Will they know anything about payments I make with my card?
