Limp Bizkit

It was a local festival Pukkelpop in the year 2000. First of all, if you see the line-up, you'll never get these artists together nowadays. But it was day 2 and Limp Bizkit was preparing everyone for Cypress Hill. Only Limp Bizkit was so energetic and got the whole crowd in that same energy. By the time it was Cypress Hills turn, the crowd had to decompress. Cypress Hill didn't get the crowd in the right atmosphere until they said 'Limp Bizkit were amazing!' and the crowd cheered 'Yeah!' and Cypress Hills from that moment on got the crowd going.

Thanks for this extensive explanation. I'll be on a holiday in the USA with my family this summer. And kind of on a road trip between Washington and New York and back. With all the rights that I have ... when asked for my ID ... aren't you just going to advise me to ... ... ?

I know I posted this at the 'the police problem' community. But I thought that when pulled over by the police, giving your drivers licence, to show you're allowed to drive, doesn't do any harm. It's common practice in Belgium to check if all your 'papers' are in order. And if so, you're back on your way.

I don't think of the Belgian police as being dangerous. But possibly because of the difference in amount of police officers (it seems to be 13.000 in Belgium, 900.000 in USA) you can report on more wrongdoings in the USA than in Belgium, but overall (per capita) the relative amount of incidents could compare? It can come over as naive but I just couldn't understand what could go wrong by showing your ID.

Thanks for the warning 🙂 Sometimes I still think I have as much spare time as 10 years ago 😉

🤣

Wasn't the penalty for not going ahead with the purchase 1 billion dollars? That seems to have been the better deal after all?

This got mee googling Nextcloud and I think I'm going to give it a try 😱

I agree totally and on top of that, I also bake:

• croissants;
• pain au chocolat;
• pistolets. in my airfryer.

This reply thread is the information I needed from this topic 👍

Yes, from what I know about type 1 diabetes is that once your immune system stops destroying your beta-cells, they regenerate. So that would solve your type 1 diabetes. And you'd have as big a chance of type 2 diabetes as the next guy. And isn't that the dream 🙂 So 🤞

Exactly 🙂

Watching it all from Belgium, it seems that the contested speech of Trump is purposefully aimed at:

• making the previous wrong remark yesterday's news;
• flooding the news/people with controversial remarks so it's impossible to 'keep count';
• raising the bar of what shocks Trump-supporters and -opponents.

And then, they, would have our gratitude.

I hope the people of the USA will make the right decision. But, looking at it from Belgium, I'm also so tired of, since 2016, looking at every presidential election in the USA as being the one that will possibly sent the world into chaos. Every night-show, podcaster, ... that I'm able to watch on YouTube can only discuss the situation from the point of view from one side. This makes the programs that once were very entertaining to watch, much less fun. So since I don't have any impact on the outcome, I'm skipping many of these shows that were once a nice discraction. I'm curious if in the USA itself the people are also taking distance from this rethoric on television to not let it impact their daily lives too much.

When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn't give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, ... . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.

Oh, luckily I've never experienced problems. I just wanted to point out that the appeal of Firefox for me was the appeal of being able to tinker with it and create my own custom experience. But not being able to, with confidence, verify the safety of plug-ins that I used or things that I tried out, I just stopped doing these things. And because I stopped tinkering with the browser, I used Firefox less and less. I had the same feeling with using custom ROMs for Android phones. So definitely not anything wrong with Firefox. It's not Firefox that changed, I changed.

In my younger days I used Firefox as me default browser on Windows. It was fun to tinker with. The add-ons were especially interesting. Things like greasemonkey let you lay over a custom script over the websites you visited. But when I started to concern myself about the security of all this tinkering, I stopped with running script that a very sympathetic Russian kid had created. So at that time I switched to Google Chrome and now I'm using Edge Chromium.

Thanks for the effort you put in this response. Is it a good summary when I say that Belgium in population and area can be compared with a metropolitan area of any major city in the USA? And best should be compared as such?

I'm very much surprised with the migration figures being as high as you mention. Europe is surrounded with countries in war in Eastern-Europe, Middle-East and Africa. And many of our migrants are refugees.

All the migration towards USA is mainly from south of the USA, correct? There's no war going on over there, so do these migrants also poor living conditions and are mostly fortune seekers? Or are their lives in danger from the government in these countries?

Thank for bringing this up. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. I mostly use the smartphone from my pocket:

• listening to podcasts with earbuds on;
• running with Strava on;
• working in the garden with music on;
• checking messages with my smartwatch on;
• driving my car with Android Auto on;
• ... . Of course I also use my smartphone itself for messaging, shopping online, banking, ordering takeaway, ... . And a larger screen would definitely be more comfortable in these cases. But having a larger smartphone when I'm currently using my smartphone while it's in my pocket, is a step back. In fact, for use at home I still have a Samsung tablet to have a bigger screen die when that's more useful. When I would switch to the SG S23 version, it seems that the dimensions of the new device are quite similar? Dimensions: S10e: 5.60 x 2.75 x 0.31 inches (142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm) S23: 5.76 x 2.79 x 0.30 inches (146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6mm) Zenphone 10: 5.77 x 2.68 x 0.37 inches (146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm)

So as long as the basic version of the SG s-series is sold in the above dimensions, I'm not worried 🤞
