The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXII

[Ajidica]

I'm working on updating my resume and I'm struggling finding a way to include by study abroad experience where I spent a month in East Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania). Any ideas on how to fit it in? It isn't really a 'special skill' and one month seems a bit too short to put it under 'experiences' but want to include it as it is something that makes my rather dull resume look vaguely interesting.

Poland! Poland! Poland!

Any good ideas with what I could kill the next 3 days on my own? (All my floormates are gone, besides the ones who have their partner here )
Not counting TV, games and books, no interest in that anymore.

Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, correct?

Build a couple Estes rockets! Set them off!

Yes, as is incest and marijuana.

@Farm Boy - Hey that was my thing from Monday! (note to self: post those pics of those cute lil bastards getting all amped over rockets)

@ace99 - Then I have trouble understanding The_J's question.

 

[dutchfire]

Yes, as is incest and marijuana.

Objection! Incest is illegal.

The rest is fine.


Anyway, I'm in the same situation as The_J, just with reversed localities.
Go walking in the forests? Probably (hopefully) the last snow of the year.

Are you questioning the word of a Dutchman?

Netherlands

Consensual incest between adults is legal in the Netherlands.[19]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_incest#Netherlands

In the Netherlands meanwhile, where consensual incest is no longer prosecuted, the legal status of the child born of such a relationship is ambiguous, according to Masha Antokolskaia, an expert in family law at the Free University in Amsterdam.

Just checked, no establishment like that in this city here.
(at least nothing which you could google)

Not really my thing, and I doubt that I could get some tomorrow.

I come from a rural area and had to take the dog for a walk on a daily basis for a dozen of years...going into the forest alone is so not exactly my definition of enjoyment.

You don't want tv, games, movies, books, there are no brothels, you presumably have no siblings to have legal incest with, you don't drink and probably don't smoke weed and you're tired of nature.

Have you considered...just maybe....you know....

 

[Antilogic]

...buying an external HD and fill it with the nastiest pr0n you can find?

 

[Farm Boy]

That's it. Just go skydiving.

 

[ace99]

Well I was going to suggest euthanasia which is also legal in the Netherlands but as a Dutchman I have a policy of never suggesting things that others might deem not to be politically correct.

 

[Antilogic]

There's no true Dutchman.

I thought you would dismiss the idea out of hand. +10 awesomesauce points for looking into it.
(And Colbert said awesomesauce on at least 2 shows recently so it's not just some stupid word I made up that no one likes neener neener)

 

[ace99]

Neener neener is from Big Bang Theory Kyle.

Yeah, considered that, not going to happen.

...buying an external HD and fill it with the nastiest pr0n you can find?

I'm sitting at a connection provided from the university, so no, not at the moment.

That's it. Just go skydiving.

I'll definitely do that at some point, but that needs preparation, and I also don't want to do it alone.
(bungee jumping is also on the list, but I'm not sure about that, fearing that my bones might not take it that well)

Due to that my hand will have to dismiss some more today *sigh*.

Go to the nearest Ikea on Monday, bring beer and sit outside watching at the large amount of people wasting their free day in a queue. Watching queues is very enjoyable.
