Completely #unexpected, but I've been invited in the @angrynerdspodcast tonight to talk about leaving big tech. It's in #Dutch, so anyone understanding the language feel free to join in!

This is a #Dutch #train station converted into a restaurant. It is 200 meters from my sister’s house. Now she (me) has to bike 6 km to the next station at the southend of #Haarlem. Result, more driving. I can hear the intercity trains racing by very frequently. The bus goes every 15 minutes but not to the station 6 km away. So unfortunate. Also 20C tomorrow. #transit

The bank has been accused of failing to account for its climate impact and its “financed emissions,” which claimants argue are greater than the emissions of the Netherlands

Translating the word “lost” into #Dutch (practicing)
- “I am lost” - “Ik ben verdwaald”
- “I lost my wallet” - “Ik ben mijn portemonnee kwijt”
“Get lost” - “Rot op”
“We lost the match” - “We hebben de wedstrijd verloren”
“I lost it when I heard the news” - “Ik werd woedend toen ik het nieuws hoorde”
So many different words.. Any more I am forgetting?

#Ruben_Brekelmans said, citing the #Dutch military intelligence service
#Brekelmans noted that #Putin has often expressed his desire for revenge for the collapse of the #Soviet_Union and to restore his sphere of influence, concluding that "#Putin has the intention, capabilities and interests to continue his aggression beyond #Ukraine."
"We don't know exactly how #Putin will test #NATO. But we do know that if #Putin attacks a neighbouring country that belongs to #NATO after #Ukraine,
#Russia could carry out a "large-scale" troop move approximately a year after a ceasefire or peace agreement in #Ukraine, #Dutch Defence Minister #Ruben_Brekelmans said in a speech at a Coalition for Security Symposium.
"Imagine #Putin putting hundreds of thousands of troops on the #Baltic border for a large-scale exercise. The experience with #Ukraine is that we only know 1 week in advance whether it is a large-scale exercise or preparation for an attack,"
If you took in-person classes for learning the Dutch language in Amsterdam, and you felt they helped, can you tell me where you took them? I need to get to at least A2 by November, but preferably B1.
If its after 17:00 on weekdays, the closer to the rings the better. If its weekends, it can be anywhere in Amsterdam.
I'm looking to sign up with my roommate

I was looking for #Dutch “keukenstroop” (dark sugar syrup) but all I could find was this #Swedish “Mörk Sirap”. To my surspise it is very, very similar to Dutch stroop. Any Swedes around who know how this is used in Swedish cuisine? The tri-lingual label suggests that it’s sold in Denmark and Finland as well. (Edit: add photo)
