I'm still trying to figure out why AZERTY is the default keyboard layout in Belgium. I guess it's just one more thing that keeps me on my toes... or rather, off them.

Wiebes, finally a name that rolls off the tongue. https://lnk.yeri.be/JUhw6

Scottish exam results are out. 148k people just found out if they're geniuses or not.

148k people just found out if they're geniuses or not. No pressure.

Honestly though, i'm just glad my old clock still works despite the heat. That's a small victory...
