Did you set your alarm clock?
Do you remember your early morning Jup'tje so it'll be cold and ready for kickoff?
Did you wear your lucky gameday underwear to bed?

I was going to post a funny humblebrag about being on holiday in the sun while you're all back home in the rain but it's too warm.
Full new build to retire my 10yo build.
My 10 year old PC still runs pretty good, I can't complain. Still runs Revit, Autocad.. fine and I can still enjoy some managed democracy, even if it's on lower quality. But would like to update, and upgrading seems improbably because of the age of all components.
I'm coming from an i7 7700k and a gtx1070 so this would be quite a step up.
I'm looking for advice if I made some major mistakes or bottlenecks, not for marginal gains. I want a smooth, stable setup, am not looking into overclocking or tinkering with anything myself (hence the F cpu)
Buying it in Belgium. Roughly €1750 without OS and assembly.

Swinging Sunday
I've always been fascinated by the clubs you pass by on the average "steenseweg". You're club diamonds and lollypop clubs.. The local Titty Twister as to speak. I always wonder how it looks like inside, what goes on there. What does the clientele look like.. does inget crowded or is it 3 people on a busy night?
So everytime we pass by one of them somewhere I try to find them online and see what I can learn about it. It's a hobby like any other. Shut up.
So what are you doing on sunday?
Flowery Friday
Commune has redone a big green zone that used to be boring gras and switched to "ecological mowing". Turns out they sowed wild flowers, and they are now blossoming. They are so nice to see and abubdant.. we can see people enjoying them, stopping by to look closely, taking pictures of the flowers or their kids in the field of flowers. A lot of people are picking some for little bouquets. It's so much better than a boring empty field of grass. Probably really great for bugs and bees. 10/10 no notes.
Mealprep Monday
With aprox 350cal/100 gram, nearly unlimited shelf life when kept unopened and a wide variety of flavours (or colours), play-doh is an indispensable component of any preppers' emergency kit. It's fun and filling!
And with the right selection of tubs you can have your greens every day!
Frugal Friday
I was out of cold milk for my cereal this morning so I just dilluted some mayo with icewater and it did the trick just fine.
Man man man Monday
Why is there an episode of FC de Kampioenen on Spotify.
And why the hell have you people watched it over 50k times.. do people really need more places to rewatch that yet again. And since when are there full tv show episodes on Spotify. And why does Spotify think I want to watch it ffs. AND WHY IS THAT ON THERE AND WHY HAS IT BEEN WATCHED 50 THOUSAND FLIPPING TIMES
Jo. Jonah. Jonathan. Jonas. Nathan. Nathaniel..
What if we would administratively change all those people's names to Jonathaniels. With the time saved in civil servant hours, we could certainly close the budget gap.
You're welcome
