I got your left bank joke.
The download is bigged too: Both episodes and the postgame max out at 20 KByte/s while downloading – most of the time it’s just ~5 KByte/s. Normally I have download rates of my full DSL speed, around 1,4 MByte/s.
What’s ther matter now?!
Might be because everyone is downloading it today instead of the normal streaming. Just a thought.
Look it up, tuigdorp in Dutch means “harness village” — I don’t know where the scum translation comes from. Sounds to me like it would be like an adult reform school. The only thing that makes it sound bad is because it is supported by Geert Wilder who is a really offensive politician.
I could see this working. The Dutch are overwhelmingly tolerant people, but since most people are good, even tempered people the rest have a very low threshold for annoyance. A good example is the weitpass, requiring coffeeshop customers to get a membership and excluding those that are not Dutch citizens/residents.
After the murder of Theo Van Gough, a lot of that famous tolerance went by the wayside–they were simply shocked by the violence. Same with the coffeeshops, if there was ANY evidence of crime around them, they because concerned because of they are used to literally no crime.
Using lawsuits is not a solution, it certainly doesn’t work well in the US. I think they should give it a try.
I’d like to comment on the Republican attempts to cut Social Security benefits. The correct argument that Social Security does not contribute to the deficit does not resonate with them despite the $2.7 trillion in treasury notes that back up its future solvency.
When Ronald Reagan made the statement that Social Security does not contribute to the deficit, he and 4 subsequent presidents had not borrowed that money to reduce borrowing costs for the US government’s day to day operations. What I remember at the time was that Reagan also stated that there was a separate SS trust fund– a misstatement that was repeatedly corrected by the media.
The funds paid to FICA had been part of the general revenues since the law was changed during the Johnson administration.
In any case, the Reagan administration then went on to sign into law the largest tax increase up to that time in American history in order to over-fund SS to handle the baby boomer generation’s benefits. That is why the surplus in SS exists today.
However, since the FICA tax increase was implemented, the US National Debt blossomed from about $1 trillion at the start of Reagan’s term to close to $16 trillion today (of which I assume the SS surplus is included since the treasuries are government liabilities).
That $2.7 trillion was spent of weapons and tax cuts for the rich– that’s why the right-wing continuously tells the lie that the money is gone… that it’s been spent.
The reason, IMO, that the Republicans believe that cutting SS benefits is part of any budget balancing deal is because unlike most of the national debt, the SS surplus will have to be gradually paid out starting very soon. The bill has come due, the baby boomers have paid for their retirement as well as that of their parents and the Republicans and corporations want to avoid repaying as much of that money as possible.
That, I believe, is the main reason why the Republican plan (with the help of the Democrats) to steal that money must be defeated. The rich and corporations got their payoff the first time during the roaring 80s, now they want to skip out on the bill by continuing to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
