Thanks! That is some good information.
I have worked with Dutch people earlier so I think I have some idea of how things work. I absolutely like the "directness" as I often do not understand hidden meanings (specially when talking to wifey). I like rules too and get annoyed if people don't follow them.
For my residence, I am not looking to buy something yet. I will rather rent a house where I just need to move in with clothes and toothbrush. Funda has a couple of options which I absolutely liked. But nothing is final as of yet so can't book that house.
I will not be going to Randstad so I am probably safe from getting stuck in traffic. Will probably visit that area as a tourist. Plus, I will use public transport for first few months and only get a car if we need it.

What about this?
I have read a lot and spoke to foreigners who have been there and I am yet to hear a problem I might face.
We have made our mind that we do want to move to Netherlands, now all we are waiting for is a job.
I have started listening to podcasts from Learn Dutch Online with Podcasts - DutchPod101 and hopefully will be able to converse a couple of sentences. Not that I need to but there is no harm in being multilingual. My wife's profession needs her to be at B2 level in Dutch so she will definitely to know way more than me.
Thanks again for help and if we move there, we might catch up a local beer or two.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Hi All,
It's the bit O' Friday I call useless time. If you are not on an urgent job that can make Monday easier, it's worth it. I need to talk to a couple of people of what to do next, I have gone over the circuit diagram quite well had an impromptu meeting with a like minded (want to go home type) over using Python to do avoid using a crammed UI. I would like the member of senior management to finish his meeting so I can sneak out quicker...

Yes. That lorry didn't sink and the UK isn't currently hot. When will people realise that The Daily Mail only prints lies.

In this case it's how they're written. Teenage valley girls shouldn't write for national press.

Well, they did get the temperature right. Although who still uses Fahrenheit.

Murica, and durn proud of it.
Every time I read about temps in the 20's and 30's I think, what a bunch of wimps and then when I convert the numbers and see 70's and 80's (I'm sure I didn't do that math right but you get the idea). It'll be around 90 F and 65% humidity here in Atlanta. Normal summer temperature. I might even go out this afternoon and do some yard work. No shade, in cotton clothes, no wicking.

Is there a metric equivalent to "Pint's a pound, the world around"?
The gram is a ridiculously small amount, you need 1000 of them for anything substantial.
And powers of 10 to subdivide, where's the challenge in that?

Except in the US, where a "liquid pint" is slightly over 83% of a proper pint.
(473ml vs 568ml)
PS: Don't believe Google, who now seem to think that an imperial pint is 500ml.

Having just looked at several reports on this, it's only The Mail and The Telegraph who make the assumption that it was due to the road melting, everyone else reports that the cause is still under investigation.
The assumption may prove to be correct, it may not - it's still an assumption.

Pah! That would be cool here - going to be 112 F here today and we seem to cope without an issue. We have not had the air-con on yet as the apt stays cool. Oh and also because I left a window open last week and a bird built a nest and laid an egg by the time we came home!

How egg-citing, you going to let it hatch?
Arizona area I imagine.
|
|

|

Yes, indeed - it can be a little noisy as the parents come and go but I don't have the heart to destroy the nest and the egg. Should hatch in a couple of weeks and then however long it takes for the hatchling to take wing and leave.
Next year, I'll leave the windows shut!
No, LA - it gets very hot where I live/work especially at this time of year.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.
