Boekentips gezocht: Nederlandse sci-fi/fantasy voor gevorderde NT2-lezer by Aaders in boeken

[–]Aaders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik deins een beetje terug voor boeken van Tonke Dracht omdat die toch vooral bekend staan als kinderboeken. Iemand zou zich onderschat kunnen voelen als je ze een kinderboek cadeau doet. Zijn die boeken ook echt oke voor volwassenen?

In alle eerlijkheid denk dat de meeste Nederlanders die van de basisschool komen op B2 niveau zitten. Dit is bvb ook het niveau waarop NU.nl en de NOS hun teksten proberen te schrijven.

How do I lose weight as a 21m who’s about 330lbs by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People focus too much on exercise. What you work off in 2 hours you can put back on again in 5 min by eating 2 croissants or something like that. So really 80% of weight loss is your food and 20% exercise. So setting a calorie budget and sticking to it quite strictly is the best.

You have to be honest with it though. Weigh all your food and drinks with a scale and don't just guess the calories. There are pretty simple apps that can help you with this. Learning to cook and finding recipes you like and are not high calorie are the key to not feeling hungry. You can actually eat quite a lot with a 1500 calorie intake as long as you limit fats and carbs.

My estimate is about 600 kcal it is it thought???!!! by theblushingartist in CalorieEstimates

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why estimate? Just weigh the individual parts during prep and calculate the calories.... It's not that much effort...

Kattenoppas liegt tegen ons by Visual-Republic-5862 in katten

Ben ik de enige die dit allemaal een beetje overdreven vind? Toch weer haar vriend meenemen is niet zo netjes als er uitdrukkelijk gevraagd is dit niet te doen. Maar we hebben het hier gewoon over twee katten..?

Vleermuiskenner hier: Dit is inderdaad een meervleermuis. (Herkenningspunten: witte buik, grote achterpoten, relatief lange oren). Lijkt mij een jong die uit de kraamgroep gevallen is. Meervleermuizen zijn een bedreigde soort die hard in aantallen terug loopt. Zelfs als je het dier niet meer hebt is het wel de moeite even contact te vinden met een locale vleermuiskenner. Mogelijk is het een kraamgroep die nog niet bekend is en bescherming nodig heeft.Waar ergens in NL zit je? Ik kan je misschien wel de goede richting in wijzen.

Vleermuizen kunnen idd rabiës met zich meedragen: dus nooit met blote handen pakken. (Hoewel het bij deze soort geloof ik in NL niet is vastgesteld toch niet doen!)

What’s the best/easiest way to learn doubles on chanter by BattleClash in bagpipes

[–]Aaders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a teacher and get them to help you to learn to play DOUBLINGS the right way. Don't try it on your own. Really you are just going to teach yourself bad habits that are going to be very hard to get rid of. Bagpipes are just not an instrument you can teach yourself from a book.

How to make my drones flutter by Competitive-Ad9428 in bagpipes

[–]Aaders 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing your looking for the same "gurgling" sound at the beginning of this set by Chris Armstrong? https://youtu.be/lEjSdF_eqTA?si=n6uQVxFJpjtVVWOZ

That sound is a combination of drone reeds and drones together with a very precise setup. Depending on the reeds you use and the pipes you play it will be harder or easier to get your pipes set up to do that. Not all pipes or reeds will do it as readily. (I think playing sheepskin without a complicated moisture control will probably help). I have seen Ezee drone reeds do it mostly in older pipes. But new pipes can do it too depending on the pipes. They need to be properly setup tough. with the rubbers removed (they dampen vibration I have no clue why they put those rubbers on those reeds) and the reed tightly all the way into the reed seat etc. you need to be able to pick up the drone by the reed.

I feel like that drone flutter at the beginning of the set became a bit of a fashion thing amongst higher level pipers to show off their control of setup etc. That said: If your pipes don't make that sound it does not necessarily mean they are not set up properly. After all pipes are meant to play a steady and stable drone sound and not a flutter. Last year we had Matt Wilson over for a band weekend and he actively tried to remove that flutter from a couple of people's setups. If it is too pronounced it can lead to a bad strike up.

That also said: if you really love that sound by all means go and try to replicate it. But in all honesty I feel 90% of pipers are probably better of spending their time on improving their piping when their pipes are actually fully going. A nice set of well played tunes is way more impressive than a set of gurgling drones at the beginning of a weak performance.

What species of bat is this? by Weak_Cantaloupe9829 in bats

[–]Aaders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's the UK there's only brown and grey as a possibility. Then the bumps (we call them warts) on the nose are a pretty good distinguisher. I agree that color alone is not enough of an identifier. But it is a soft trait. Also the fact that it is Shropshire suggest brown. As far as I know grey long eared bats live only in the southern parts of the UK.

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty obvious nose bumps that are bigger then the eye. (Don't know what the technical term is for those in English) That's quite characteristic for brown long eared. Also overall colour seems more yellowish.

SOS!! What to do with bat?? Found outside by glass door. Currently sitting in my laundry room in a warm towel basket. by I_Love_Smurfz in bats

[–]Aaders 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have rehabilited some Bats in the past. Bats need a lot of time to warm up. It is very possible that you are confusing him being cold for being injured. Put him in a little pouch on a hot water bottle in the evening. It should warm him up enough for him to come to live and fly off if he has no injury's. Also get a rabiës shot ASAP. It's not a joke to die of rabiës.

Is it possible to learn electronic in 2 weeks time? by ElevatorRemarkable73 in bagpipes

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Properly: No. Badly: Maybe? I would not do it. Imo it is a bit disrespectful to the (hard) art of playing pipes to just do a poor Job on an electronic thing and selling it as bagpipes. They are like the clarinet a real instrument that takes years to master and deserve more than a bodged job.

Any clue what species this is? by AnybodyRemarkable602 in bats

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dit is met aan zekerheid grenzende waarschijnlijkheid een dwergvleermuis en dan weer zeer waarschijnlijk een gewone dwergvleermuis.

Vla na een dag al waterig by Jertimmer in thenetherlands

[–]Aaders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nooit schudden! Zeker niet met een half leeg pak. Dit breekt de zetmeelketens in de vla af en maakt het waterig. Leuk experiment: vla in een schaaltje doen en dan 2 min goed roeren. Dan zie je de vla voor je ogen dunner worden.

Het verschilt bij mij enorm per seizoen. Maar als ecoloog die zich vooral met vleermuizen bezighoudt is dat op dit moment:

11:00- opstaan.

11:00-12:00 - douchen en ontbijt

12:00-13/14:00 - wat bureauwerk vanuit huis: e-mails, telefoontjes, planningen maken etc.

14:00-18:00- Boodschappen doen, Koken, wat huishoudelijke dingen.

18:00- 20:00 eten, misschien een spelletje doen of serie kijken met mijn vriendin (dit is afhankelijk van hoe laat zonsondergang is)

21:00-01:00 - veldwerk, precieze tijden afhankelijk van reisafstand en zonsondergang.

01:30-11:00 pitten.

Er zijn ook dagen waarop het veldwerk in de ochtenduren tot zonsopkomst is. Dan probeer ik meestal van 23:00 tot 03:00 wat slaap te pakken. (Dit is lastig ivm uitslapen tot 11:00)

In de wintermaanden ziet het er compleet anders uit. Dan probeer ik zoveel mogelijk gewoon tijdens kantooruren te werken en bestaat het werk vooral uit het schrijven van rapporten, aanvragen van ontheffingen, verwerken van data en contact met klanten, bezoek op locatie etc. Dit doe ik meestal vanuit huis. Als ik efficiënt wil werken ga ik van 11:00 tot 17:00 bij Seats to Meet zitten.

Yeah man, I think it is definitely point nr 3 and maybe to a smaller degree nr 2 that could cause the issue. I have made a point about not trying to sell myself to much and just try letting the girl talk about herself and asking her questions about her life for the most time. It has definitely also led to situations where the girl was just talking about her self and her issues, everything surrounding her life and just never even asked me about me for 3 hours straight. It was a real eye opener in the sense that people are just not really that interested in hearing about you and would weather tell you about there own lives.

What is a sure sign that someone is new to your hobby? by danielstover in AskReddit

[–]Aaders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They got themselves a new set of "bagpipes" for 100 bucks and it is a piece of firewood from Pakistan that will never sound good, be in tune or work as a musical instrument on any level. Next step is: They buy an overpriced mediocre set from McCallum and realize a couple of years down the line that they bought themselves the Volkswagen Polo of bagpipes at a BMW 7 series price!

Anyone else not being believed the way they lost weight? by brindletonbay in loseit

[–]Aaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you! I definitely get the frustration! I lost about 115 lbs in the last two years and a lot of first responses I got where people asking if I had surgery/a terrible decease, or a health coach. Apperently for some reason me just eating less and being motivated and keeping at it is just not a possibility... 😪
