  • A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

    From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.













  • That’s not really what I mean.

    Look I turned 40 a few months ago an a few weeks ago I got a newspaper subscription, somehow I turned into my father…

    Anyway, a few days ago I was reading this article and it was about (Dutch) GenZ (I want to say kids but adults is probably also true).

    The article was about how the GenZ girls are mostly left and pretty far left. Old people will probably describe them as woke.

    But what was pretty interesting (and maybe scary) to me is that a lot of the GenZ boys are pretty conservative. Lots of them follow “alpha male” influencers and lots of them even really like Andrew Tate. They sort of believe in this alpha get money and girls mindset. They have some graphs about other countries, where in south Korea it had the biggest gap between boys on the right and girls on the left.

    I just looked it up (my newspaper also can be viewed digitally)

    It’s in Dutch but its probably understandable (mannen are males, vrouwen are females).

    This is the source but it’s dutch and behind a paywall

    This is the head of the image translated

    Political gap between young men and women has grown In many countries, young men (18-29) have become more conservative in recent years, while young women have become more progressive. Score: the percentage of progressive minus conservative young adults, based on various long-term studies.


  • When you pay a company and they provide you with a domain (you choose) and give you a webserver, some disk space, a database etc.

    I pay about 30 euros a year for 5 websites. They are all very basic (either some php stuff I made, or WordPress). These websites have very few visitors so the hosting specs don’t really matter. All these websites have a specific domain name, some disk space, and a database.

    For this price they offer PHP and MySQL. So it’s not a dedicated server where I’m root and can Install other stuff.
