And yeah, water management, RES and windmills, and they're pretty advanced in the circular economy / smart cities departments. They have also perfected the milk and sandwich lunch but I am not partial to that.
What is this that you speak of?
Exactly that. Glass of milk and sandwiches. Not only do they eat that for lunch themselves, they cater with it too. Ugh.
I have milk with my sammiches all the time. What's new about that?
Chocolate milk and PB&J are da bomb!
I mean if you have that for lunch every day, good for you!

Seems that the Dutch invented telescopes, submarines, and CD/DVD/Blu-ray. Or so google implies.0

So they brought buckets of dirt with them and built an island?
I just know Aruba is awesome and the people were very friendly. Also, Gouda like I said. GOUDA.0 -

I lived there for a few months. Had every variety of aging cheese you can imagine.
Must have been nice. Sharp cheeses are delicious.

I'd like to know why the Dutch don't refer to themselves, as a variation of their country's name?
For instance: America/American{s}!0 -

There are three terms we need to define: Holland, the Netherlands, and Dutch. In Old English dutch simply meant “people or nation.” (This also explains why Germany is called Deutschland in German.) Over time, English-speaking people used the word Dutch to describe people from both the Netherlands and Germany. (At that point in time, in the early 1500s, the Netherlands and parts of Germany, along with Belgium and Luxembourg, were all part of the Holy Roman Empire.) Specifically the phrase “High Dutch” referred to people from the mountainous area of what is now southern Germany. “Low Dutch” referred to people from the flatlands in what is now the Netherlands. Within the Holy Roman Empire, the word “Netherlands” was used to describe people from the low-lying (nether) region (land). The term was so widely used that when they became a formal, separate country in 1815, they became the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The word “Holland” literally meant “wood-land” in Old English and originally referred to people from the northern region of the Netherlands. Over time, it came to apply to the entire country. Got all that?
Thank you, bunches!
Now I wonder if there's any correlation, between the words: "Dutch" & "Duchess"?0
