I say let’s have some broadcasting about American history worth celebrating:

• The foundation of America and the allies that made it possible
• The immigrants that built America
• How slavery was abolished
• The history of civil rights in America
• How America built an empire after WW2 using soft power
• Etc…

This is not a form of brainwashing!

Zuco 103 - Zabumba no Mar - Portuguese

Leningrad - Fish - Russian

Mohammed Rafi - Jaan Pehchan Ho - Hindi(?) (That song from the movie “Ghost World”)

There’s some money to be made in selling refurbished Lego sets, but that won’t make you rich either.

Do the writers and directors give you a lot of input into how to play your character and the direction of his story/development?

If it were up to you, what kind of scenes or storylines would you most like to play or see Jay-Den Kraag in?

Check it out! Over there is an old matras covered in colourful pillows. Sorry if it’s a bit smelly. In that corner there’s a beanbag, with a sweet-ass lava lamp and an old record player next to it. The lava lamp works with tea lights, but the record player doesn’t work because there’s no electricity. In the other corner there’s a cardboard box full of old Spider-Man comics! Pretty cool, right?

I prefer to impress the ladies by building a really nice treehouse.

Does Penguin even publish self-help books?

Why not both? ROX Filer allows me to select a number of files and then apply a terminal command to all of them. I think that’s really neat.

Right now I can access my Rabobank account and all its settings through their website. To log in I insert my debit card into a little device called a “Rabo Reader”, enter my pin and scan a “color code” (QR code, but with coloured dots) on the website. The Rabo Reader then generates and displays a one-time code I can use to log in.

IIRC ING texts the one-time code to your phone.

When doing an iDeal payment, you are usually redirected to a page with a QR code you can scan with your banking app. However, there is also an option on the page to select your bank and authorize the payment through your bank’s website. I wouldn’t be surprised if the latter option is phased out when iDeal merges with/turns into Wero, though.

For the foreseeable future all in-store payments using debit cards are going through Mastercard or Visa, both American companies.
