    I have a feeling that everyone likes using AI tools to try doing someone else’s profession. They’re much less keen when someone else uses it for their profession

    Do you ever use them or is it LLM all the way?

    The ferries to "Noord" (the "other" side of A'dam) are free, go very often, and are just ferry fun to take as a little free boat ride over the IJ-river.

    Germans are very serious about things like not crossing streets when the pedestrian light is red, even if there isn't a vehicle in sight.

    Hello from Berlin!

    I'm planning to drive in Germany

    Honestly, go by train. No hassle with parking, you can enjoy the scenery while staring out of the window with a coffee. The train station is generally in the city center, and you can take a tram/subway/walk to your hostel. German trains have the habit of being delayed, so if you manage try to get a route where you don't need to catch a connection, that makes it more relaxed.

    Fewer bags is better, don't forgot you can buy stuff you forgot here, too :) Is just makes travel easier (every airport here has excellent public transport options, there's zero need to ever get a taxi, but you do have to carry stuff a bit).

    I personally avoid hotels, since there's just no social life. I'm too old for bunk beds in hostels, but I often go for a private room in a hostel nowadays, which is still fun hostel-ly, but I don't have to deal with 18 year olds. Try to find something with a place where you can hang out downstairs. They come in 100%-party-style to super quit small ones, so pick whatever you like. If you want to play it safe you can go with a bigger chain like Generator.

    Mostly agree, but it looks like Greg is having fun again, and was actually making some nice jokes. Maybe the USA trip helped.

    Works the same with cars: even 100% coal based electricity still is a win. Isn't physics fun? :)

    You could literally burn coal to power a power plant to produce the electricity to run a heat pump to heat your house

    I remember there were some problems with the publisher. I think they needed to publish N games with them before they could leave, just like records labels used to work.

    I'm still a bit confused about why he did that.
