  The best possible proof that Belgium is not just a place set up by The Netherlands and France as a network of gas stations to travel between those countries is that the roads in Belgium are visibly worse than in The Netherlands or France (really: you can tell exactly were the border is when driving into and out of Belgium by the change in the condition of the road).

  The problem for the Belgium friend is that he’s not keen on admitting that if Belgium wasn’t a real nation but rather a Franco-Dutch partnership, it would be better run.

  In a wall near were I live somebody in the time of peak Covid vaccination tagged a slogan (in a language other than English) that roughly went like “50% or the prickled will die” - so prickled here meaning those who got the Covid vaccine - which might sound like a smart anti-vaxxer slogan until one thinks about how it implies that 50% of those who get the vaccine will never die, or in other words that the Covid vaccine actually gives eternal life to half the takers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do You Need A VPN?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I literally have two machines running on always on VPNs, one my personal PC and another a home server were a torrent service is running, and have no such problems.

  I think maybe the mistake you made was spending most of the time with it OFF and then turning it ON once in a while, whilst mine just goes ON as soon as I boot my machine and stays on.

  Granted, I’m not using it for getting around geo-locked websites, I’m using it for having a bit more privacy and for safety when sailing the high seas so once in a while I have the opposite problem (that I’m blocked from accessing sites in my own country because the connections appear to be coming from a different country).
