In Belgium, I pay 4.5 eur as an adult to use any of the numerous swimming pools around me. Also, I never had to show my ID once in my lifetime to enter said pools. My kids are perfectly afloat and learned to swim with their school by going to the pool every week.

Not denying your personal experience, just sharing another point of view from another part of the country.


I am quite happy with this recent purchase : https://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/stainless-steel-with-variab...


Looks a bit like Cuisinart. Costs about the same too, the only difference being that Cuisinart has a temperature quick select on buttons (85° and 100°C), and the lid opens from a button above the handle.

The lid button is surprisingly nice to have, because you don't accidentally burn your hand when refilling right after the first batch.

I still follow my past team definition of a good commit : the commit message should answer in it's first line why this commit was done. Overtime I realized that when I git blame I never care what a commit does because this is always obvious by reading the code of the commit. The reason why, however, is most of the time not obvious at all.


Alt + double click can also toggle maximize the window under the cursor.


I like how this video also calls for open architectural plans, aka the source code of our buildings.


Not in the browser, just markdown files structured like those github *-awsome repos.


The pedestrian was already engaging on the crosswalk and would have required the car to stop too.
