Adjective word order - when after the noun?

So I thought Dutch had a word order similar to English, with the adjectives in front of the noun. But then I see sentences like this from NOS:

Mysterie knalgroen kanaal Venetië opgelost

So the adjective indicating that the canal is "Venetian", is coming after the noun, even though two other adjectives came first. Is this typical, and is it usually the location that comes after?

Thank you!

How China became the king of new nuclear power, and how the U.S. is trying to stage a comeback

Key points

  • China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction which will have a capacity for generating 21.61 gigawatts of electricity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is more than two and a half times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country.
  • China’s drive to build nuclear energy is twofold: It’s got a massive demand for energy to meet, and it’s reliance on coal to meet its energy demand in recent decades have left it with dirty air. Nuclear is a clean source of electricity.
  • The United States is attempting to launch a nuclear comeback, largely powered by new smaller modular rector designs, but it’s success in attaining its previous dominance is up for grabs at this point, experts say.

Could we have a r/learndutch community?

I checked the big lemmy list. Apparently lots of people want to learn Thai. But I didn't see a community like "learndutch". Learndutch is subreddit where people learning Dutch can ask questions about words, grammar, and phrases they're having trouble with.

Feddit.nl seems like the obvious place to host such a community.

Dank je wel!
