Been thinking about that since EV were just getting started. Of course it means you'd need to create new standards, get all the manufacturers and gas stations to use it, etc. But I really don't see why it couldn't work that way, park the car over the system, empty battery comes off and full battery goes in, pay a monthly subscription or something.

This holds true across pretty much everything, you're always better off doing a moderate amount of effort regularly over a longer period of time than going all-in for a short period, it's just being human. Ever since we were hunting mammoths by slowly walking behind them, rather than sprinting.

Piano is maybe a slightly easier learning curve at the very beginning if you're just trying to play with one hand and sound like a 4 year old, but these curves cross real quick. It's much easier to sound decent with a guitar, which sounds like what you're trying to do.

You've got a lot of good advice all over this thread, up to you to listen to it!

Oooh, you touch my tralala.

Can you imagine, that would've been such a waste of his potential...

There's a place for both. I'm French and I don't like it when you take traditional dishes or items, butcher them and still call them the original name. However it's totally fine if you want to update the recipe, make it a fusion with something else, or whatever else you fancy, but just give it a different/updated name.

Did a quick check and yeah I was massively exaggerating, you can get some in the 600k to 1.3M€ for small ones with mooring in the center, which is still pretty unaffordable for normal people but not as outlandish as I made it out to be. The points about additional costs to the city and the mortgage stuff remains though.

I might be slightly exaggerating depending on how big it is and location but yeah everything in Amsterdam is crazy expensive. The toilet situation is pretty normal these days I think? I think they get plugged into the normal sewer systems, the days of it just falling into the canals are long gone (but that's also a part of the yearly expenses along with mooring costs, property taxes and so on). Also you can't even mortgage these things normally because banks consider them high risk so you get less advantageous terms (higher costs, bigger down payment, etc).

Love Scotland and the Scots (one of my best mates is one, and I visited many times), but it has the unfortunate flaw of being part of the UK indeed... I guess the obvious option that is similar-ish without having that flaw is Ireland, but personally living in the Netherlands I'm only really considering a move if it's to somewhere truly different (tropical, etc).

You probably picture that as a cheap bohemian lifestyle but these things will cost you like 2M€ to buy + untold yearly fees lol.

I was gonna one-up you with Lycos but as it turns out, it still works!

Logically the number should be higher than the previous comments (just sayin').
