Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.
Good luck today! It sounds like you’ll have a busy day ahead of you. Hope you still get to enjoy today in some way though.
I’ve been off since Christmas and won’t start work until Monday. It’s coming out of my vacation days mostly, but I always end up having too many left over at the end of the year anyway.
My partner is also off, but they get a mandatory vacation between Christmas and new year, on top of the usual vacation days.
Here are the final scores:
| Name | Score |
|---|---|
| @DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone | 6 |
| @merde@sh.itjust.works | 6 |
| @CallMeAl@piefed.zip | 4 |
| @allo@sh.itjust.works | 3 |
| @thelsim@sh.itjust.works | 3 |
We have a tie! It’s up to @jagot@programming.dev to pick this week’s winner.
Gift of the Luigi.
(i tried to think of a strong female character of christmas to portray. too bad the cultural aspects around the holiday were set in a time when only males could be important characters. i will from now on only depict Santa as female. have to start somewhere.)
HO HO HO
My surface pro from work has this, though I can’t say I’ve ever used it in all these years.
Oliebollen, and probably too many :)
Last year I had to stand in line for up to two hours to get a fresh batch on the 31st. Even appeared on local tv because of the huge line.
Not sure where and when I’m going to get this year’s batch, but I definitely don’t want to have a repeat of last year.
I’m on a short holiday break, so I’m going to leave this challenge up for a little while longer. This tiny little laptop doesn’t have the scripts I usually use :)
I’ll try to get the voting post up tomorrow.
There’s no real consensus on it yet in Dutch, but the most common are either hen/hun or die/diens. Both are known words that can be repurposed, but both have some disadvantages when it comes to certain grammatical rules.
There’s also some initiatives on new words, but they haven’t really gotten much traction yet.
There’s a rather lengthy article here in Dutch that explains it in depth:

About 30 seconds. But in my defense, I was too lazy to zoom in on my phone, and I’m about to go to sleep, and it was a good illusion.
I can understand the complaint though.
You might not have come if you knew beforehand that it would be this busy. But now that you’re finally here, you don’t want to waste the trip and decide to make the best of it. You just grumble a little that it’s so busy.
And here are the final scores:
| Name | Score |
|---|---|
| @jagot@programming.dev | 5 |
| @merde@sh.itjust.works | 4 |
| @leftascenter@jlai.lu | 3 |
| @cloudless@piefed.social | 3 |
| @thelsim@sh.itjust.works | 3 |
| @allo@sh.itjust.works | 2 |
Congratulations to @jagot@jagot@programming.dev! You won this week’s challenge and get to choose the next theme.
You can use the post format of the previous challenge, or ask me if you need any help.
I appreciate your solidarity :)
Great! Do you want to create the post yourself, or shall I do it for you?
