Fully aligned with the idea but the guy just got taxed 350€ given it’s a female and something. Not cheap to fix cats. And that’s not accounting for the whole « catch them » game; in our area we can get a rental humane trap from the city but they only pick them up once a month or you can drive your price 60km away on your free time. Another tax.. it’s all fucked up just to try to help :(

    They are reliably the exact same products between Amazon and AliExpress… and I have doubts that those flowing through Amazon are under more scrutiny at this stage. There’s typically only a markup and that’s it. Same support mailbox and all even.

    GDPR is a bit more than cookies banners… it gives rights to European like deletion of one’s data, right to get a copy of one’s data, portability to some extent and a lot of transparency about what processing is happening. And if one of our DPA is taking an interest in a particular sus processing they can forbid it altogether which all companies fear much more than fines. It’s really a beautiful piece of regulation. And I’m not saying only because I make part of my living out of it :)

    True I was technically in Limburg IIRC. But I’ve grew hearing the country being called equally « Pays-Bas » and « Hollande » so it stuck :-/

    Still my comment about its magnificence stands.

    Thanks :)

    This is a bellyboat more precisely. Unlike in a boat my legs are in the water and I’m sporting fins like divers to direct myself.

    It’s more nimble than bassboats and fishing kayaks but it has more drag and smaller motorisation so I’m a fair bit more limited when debits are high. And it’s mono place.

    It’s immensely more affordable though.

    Over the years I thrifted 2 of those so I can bring friends or even curious fishermen that want to try this mode of fishing :)

    Now is time for some panicky wait time. I’m really hoping I did not forget anything critical. If everything goes to plan we’ll be 4 to man the gigantic pump I requested and reel the cement mix in place. I have some shovels, rakes and I rented a vibrating ruler to help the finish.

    weather is back to seasonal normals at around 25 after too many weeks over 30+.

    Still I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting something.
