I remember a friend of mine from Amsterdam being shocked by the price of a studio apartment back in 2019. Today, seven years later, that is a completely standard price for a studio apartment in my country—and in my city. Sick.
I am very glad that a large retail chain of food stores of Belgian - Netherlands origin is expanding into my country. I consider anything from Belgium or the Netherlands to be a definite plus. Very welcome here.
I don’t want us to end up like "another Hungary of Europe".
Dear Chinese,
what do you like about Europe?
Which things are better in Europe than in China according to you? 🙂
There isn’t a single day that goes by without me feeling angry.
I suppose my roots must actually be in Western Europe, because there is almost nothing regarding culture in my own country that I find appealing.
Firstly, there were protests in France, now in Belgium. Europe is like a war zone.
When I compare the situation in those countries with my home country then it seems mega - incredibly safe. I have never seen anything like that in my part of EU. At least that’s one advantage.
One from (many) my fav celebrities from the Netherlands found a life - partner from my country. I'm in shock for today..
Lately, my own country has been getting on my nerves so much that I never want to date anyone from my own country again. I've literally had enough. Never again. My sympathies are inclined for people from Western and Northern European countries the most, but we'll see.

Every iPhone, every AI model, every advanced microchip on earth requires a machine that only one company builds
ASML, in Veldhoven, North Brabant
Their EUV machines work by hitting a tin droplet with a laser 50,000 times per second, generating plasma that emits the light needed to print modern circuits
The mirrors inside are so precisely flat that if you scaled one to the size of the Netherlands, the largest imperfection would be less than a millimetre
No other company on earth can build this machine
The United States cannot build it, China cannot buy it, and Taiwan's entire semiconductor industry depends on it
Washington uses trade law to control where these machines go, because the most strategically critical technology on earth is made in a city of bike paths and brick houses in North Brabant
The bottleneck of civilisation is in the Netherlands
God bless Germany, Belgium,UK and the Netherlands for the best radio podcasts/music for me.
I cant listen to s**t music from radio in my home country in my native language.
Dutch engineering always amazes me.
Sometimes I asking myself, why my home country isnt like Holland. Almost the same size of land but style of living something incomparably different.
Back from trip from Germany 🇩🇪.
I thought that railway infrastructure in my country is really bad but after experience in Germany, when Intercity Express train went 50 - 70 km/h through Bavaria with delay almost 1 hour, I dont think so anymore.

There's a fruit fly walking around right now that was never born.
@eonsys just released a video where they took a real fly's connectome — the wiring diagram of its brain — and simulated it. Dropped it into a virtual body. It started walking. Grooming. Feeding. Doing what flies do.
Nobody taught it to walk. No training data, no gradient descent toward fly-like behavior. This is the opposite of how AI works. They rebuilt the mind from the inside, neuron by neuron, and behavior just... emerged. It's the first time a biological organism has been recreated not by modeling what it does, but by modeling what it is.
A human brain is 6 OOM more neurons. That's a scaling problem, something we've gotten very good at solving. So what happens when we have a working copy of the human mind?
I would know where those "more kids" find their job, when the most of jobs will be replaced by Tech transformation / automation & AI in future.
