New CV regulation in the Netherland. The bit that affects us is that only essential travel will be permitted to and from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. from 6pm today for at least three weeks. We're in the Hague our boat is in a marina in Rotterdam it's an ongoing project with a list of "to do's"(as all boats have). I'm off in a soon to do the most needed things to make it safe and sound if we can't get to it although we can bike the 20K in an hour or so direct to the boat without contact. I'll get it cleared before we do it the fines can be heavy and above €100 get noted as a criminal record. It's a lovely day tempting to have a spin up the Schie. https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/...ures-no-fans-at-matches-bars-to-shut-at-10pm/ It's a commercial waterway good to see goods moved by boat instead of lorry.
Now I’ll think of you as a Dutch Tony Soprano. None of your inner circle disappeared recently have they?
Things appear to be moving again though as I have been called in for a GP check up and, today, called in for a hospital check up that's a year overdue. I'm not a serious case, but it's good to see some things moving again. As said though, there will be collateral damage in physical and mental health....and in the world economy....for years, maybe decades.
You know what. I despair of my fellow humans sometimes. I am not aiming this at anyone on here at all (lol before I get blocked), and everyone is totally entitled to their opinions. But OMG. Facebook is full of morons. I have worked in IT for over 30 years, and the last 10 has been specifically IT security. I work now in the credit card industry and security and privacy is paramount. Seriously guys, some of the misinformation about stuff is a joke. I understand concerns about surveillance etc. I understand concerns over privacy...I actually promote it. But sometimes, you have to believe what people are saying that do it for a living, rather than a random YouTuber or FB post. The irony is that it is posted on twitter or facebook....a public forum that people can social engineer a profile about you and hack you. Trust me. Paying contactless or by card is safe. "The government won't profile you" or "the government won't know where you are at all times" and decide to raid your house. They really don't care about you. I'm not naive. I am an adult and work in the industry (didn't vote for the current govt BTW). Just try to be a citizen and this will all go away. Rant over.
Says the man who disguises himself with hair dye and has the abbreviated forum name T 007 You’re a government agent planted to hack us and get our card details and whereabouts!! Watch him guys!!
And with those shorts, you should virtually ensure that a handshake failure occurs every time you leave 127.0.0.1, which should keep you even more safe. They're a bad gateway to the world's worst fashion crimes.
