That wasn’t how it worked in the apartments I had in Manhattan. Probably other cities are different as you point out.

In a lot of apartment in cities, at least in the US Northeast, the building turns the heat on 1 October (dates might vary).
The perhaps urban legend says this practice dates to the Spanish 'Flu and was intended to force people to air their apartments.

World News@lemmy.world•The Netherlands won't condemn US over Venezuela actionEnglish
19·6 days agoGuys this is horrible and widely reported here, but pls keep in mind we have a “lame-duck” caretaker government atm before the new ruling coalition forms (it’s taking a hell of a long time and is difficult).
This caretaker government was a coalition with the PVV, who are our modern fascist party, and other “normal” conservatives, so it’s sad but not surprising.

World News@lemmy.world•‘Mad fishing’: Every year a Chinese-dominated flotilla big enough to be seen from space pillages the rich marine life on an ungoverned part of the South Atlantic off Argentina, plundering the high seaEnglish
8·9 days agoYou can track them: https://globalfishingwatch.org/our-map/
You have to sign up for a free account to get the good data. It’s actually not a bad sub for Marine Traffic, Lloyd’s, Seaweb, etc. It has all ships not just fishing ships, and it has satellite not just terrestrial data.
How to search effectively gets a bit of getting used to.

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•Last year before Dutch fireworks banEnglish
81·10 days agoDid you watch the video? Have you BEEN here during NYE? 11 year olds setting off fireworks that in the US would require a licensed professional, a bunch of safety tech, and a hell of a lot of insurance.
Trigger my cock Mr “triggers the liberals.” You see a kid get his hand blown off in front of you and see how “triggered” you are.

We have near identical looking bikes like that in Holland. Then again, we have more bikes than people.

You can only really see it once.
I think you’re right in the main. And I also think that some people don’t realize they have a disorder until they see it manifest in others and realize “shit I do that too.” Sometimes they are right, sometimes not.
Ya know, if offset by some sharp peppers and curry, the cinnamon and (tiny bit of) nutmeg could work!

politics @lemmy.world•‘I want that escape route’: Americans seek dual citizenships under TrumpEnglish
16·24 days agoAnecdotal, n=about 12 or so, but in my little city in NL we have had at least five different families leave the States and move into my neighborhood. The last two years I hear just tons of N American accented English in town, and these folks are not tourists. They are grocery shopping and doing we-live-here stuff.
Then again, it’s fairly easy to come to NL.
