For me it’s holding a VHS in the store and looking at the cover.

    The water here in the Netherlands has been way too high for weeks now, and we’ve had some crazy ass storms. Even a cyclone or something? I don’t even know what it’s called.

    Anyway it’s going to require some crazy engineering if the Netherlands is to move into the 22nd century.

      As a fellow Dutchie: I miss the early 90s optimism. Nowadays, people are disillusioned and the hidden bigotry among which I grew up has become explicit up to the point of us having a fascist government.

      I also miss not living in a neoliberal dystopia.

      I am not sure that both are not connected.

      The Netherlands is in an interestingly unique position when it comes to rising sea levels. They’ve been fighting the sea (and winning) for centuries. I’m sure they’ll be at the forefront for engineering future sea incursions.
