My name is Paul and I live in the Netherlands.
My interests and toots are a.o. about free and open source software, music production, philosophy, psychology, physics and geopolitics.
I believe debating difficult issues respectfully is important and love a good discussion.
I hope to have a good stay here and to make that so for others.

I need privacy. Not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.

Not really politics, just numbers. :)
Numbers of animals in the Netherlands.
If you look at the history, you can see there are many fewer farmers, but about the same number of animals.
In short:
3.7 M cow
89 M chicken
11 M pig
1.5 M sheep and goat

Thinking about these gut microbe shots they are selling. If these microbes are such excellent colonic soldiers, why do they need daily reinforcements? I can understand how they play a role in building back up people with harmed gut flora, but that would mean they are themselves in homeostasis. I mean, if they eat, they reproduce. If they don't, they're useless. I don't get how daily reirrigation with liquids containing yet more of them would be beneficial, except financially.

TIL:
Theoretical models of the Sun's interior indicate a maximum power density, or energy production, of approximately 276.5 watts per cubic metre at the center of the core,[63] which is about the same power density inside a compost pile.

A #timelapse of recent unusual clouds over my neighborhood. These are apparently called mammatus clouds.
Sunset light rendered these unusual clouds with some extra-dramatic color.
