We live at the same river, but I have yet to find a rubber duck store anywhere closer than Amsterdam - which is hundreds of kilometers from here.

Exactly my thoughts when i checked it out.


Saw that in Cambridge (the original one, in UK), and they had insane prices. We went to the market, and found the same shirt for a quarter of the price.


We had a bee shop at the fair yesterday.


At least three of them in Amsterdam, for whatever reasons. Independent stores, not multiple shops from one company.

Never brush your teeth without wearing your glasses…


There are at least three of them in Germany.


There are several, for some unknown reason, in Amsterdam.


I’ve been in not one, but three different round the year Christmas stuff stores.
There is a chain of stores in Europe only selling Gouda cheese (Henri Willig).
In Hamburg I’ve been in a shop specialized on umbrellas.
In Rotterdam I’ve found a shop selling only socks.


Buying and using, if it should make sense.

We have oil and vinegar coming in the same shape plastic bottles. Originally, vinegar had a red cap, sunflower oil a yellow one, and rapeseed oil a green one. Then some idiot decided to save 1/10 cent and gave vinegar the same green cap as the oil.
I had the large stainless steel pan heated up really hot, so that a few drops of water happily run around it on a steam cushion and evaporated quickly. And then I wanted to pour in a good helping of oil…
When Thor is calling.


Absolutely Genius!
Whoever did this deserves to burn in hell.


Not a tornado, but I’ve been on the Autobahn once in rain so heavy that the wipers could not cope with it at the highest setting. Under every bridge crossing the Autobahn, bikers were parked on the hard shoulder. I left the Autobahn and parked for an hour before the torrents ended.


Not experienced personally when it happened, but…
There is that forest valley we pass through on our annual pilgrimage. We have to take a wooden bridge over a small brook there. That water is so small that pilgrims even crossed it by removing shoes and socks and wading through at a time the bridge was broken.
Five years ago, there were heavy rainfalls and flash floods in the area. At the point where that bridge was, the water ran 8m/26ft high. Imagine standing there and looking up the cliffs left and right where once were trees. The bridge has been replaced, but the valley definitely looks different.


In other words, the reasons and explanations were too difficult for the American envoy to grasp.
I don’t deny those problems existed. But in comparison to today’s situation on the net, they were basically irrelevant.
If it was “clutter free”, it would not need 64GB. It might even work with 4GB or less.
