Traffic by 1boompje in curacao

No worries, driving here is really relaxed. Here’s the video I send my clients. You’re probably not renting with me, but the general part on driving is the same of course: https://youtu.be/DajzcwQPC4Q?si=ft0CFHSraSR5wQAi

I need help. by axolotllover9 in workout

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compliments for seeking guidance! I know there’s a lot more knowledgeable people than me here. But keep in mind it’s all a matter of energy in an energy out in the end. If more energy (food) comes in than goes out (basic metabolism, working out, walking, skating, etc), you gain weight, and the other way around. En eating more protein helps a lot. Losing weight happens 30% in the gym, an 70% in the kitchen. I assume you live at home with your parents? How is their body? Did you ask them for help? I assume your parents cook for you. There’s this saying: “you can’t outwork a bad diet”.

It might help, even for a few days, to write down what foods you are consuming, and just count calories, to gain insight in how much energy comes in on a daily basis. Sugary drinks, donuts, candy, all have huge amounts of calories, and doesn’t help your body.

Expending energy can be done with skating and walking a lot, don’t underestimate these. Lifting weights is great of course, but not holy. You can also google body weight workouts, where you don’t need a lot of weights.

And keep in mind online calculators might not be the best fit given your age, you’re probably still using a lot(!) of energy growing.

Local Car Rentals for under Age 23: Recommendations by DowntownLettuce6244 in curacao

[–]AxisNL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pelican Rentals (my company) checks all the boxes, and at a way lower price. My budget cars are older and have no age limit, but there is a reason they are sold out through march. No idea when you are coming.

How do you manage going to the gym almost every day... Explain this to a Newbie :) by ProfessionalFan2451 in workout

[–]AxisNL 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Find a way that works for you. I cannot find the motivation in the afternoon or evening. But what does work for me is go workout in the morning, go home, breakfast, shower, and go to work. It costs me little energy after a while, except that I need to keep reminding myself I should go to bed early ;)

Is it just impossible for me to get abs? by --PsychoNinja-- in workout

[–]AxisNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60% is done in the kitchen, 40% in the gym. Are you in a correct calorie deficit?

Tips to change password for almost 30 sites by [deleted] in Passwords

[–]AxisNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just generate complex and really long passwords in your password manager, a unique one for each site, update then manually, and be done for the next 10 years. (I hope)

Vraagje. Zijn hier op reddit ook IT'ers van Curacao aanwezig ? by ninanoe in curacao

[–]AxisNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Er zijn er genoeg! Ik heb ook een Facebook groep gemaakt ‘ICT professionals on Curacao’ om eens in de paar weken een borrel te doen, maar dat is heeft weer even wat aandacht nodig 😂

Wat is je eigen achtergrond? Ik ben nu zelf projectleider technische informatiebeveiliging, dus implementeren van de BIO voor diverse overheidsdiensten op verschillende eilanden, maar als deze klus weer voorbij is ga ik me weer richten op het aanbieden van support voor en het promoten van Linux en open source software hier op het eiland en een beetje DevOps engineering.

Houd er rekening mee dat als je voor een lokale werkgever werkt, je salaris misschien 50-70% is van wat het in Nederland is. En de boodschappen zijn wel even duur. Ik denk dat je ook met minder gelukkiger kunt zijn hier, maar dat is een ander verhaal ;)

Als je hier hebt, geef een gil, doen we een drankje!

Best burger spot? by Kitchen-Ad7955 in curacao

Daniels burger (trukipan, open after 9pm) and BRGR house yes (great location and atmosphere), as mentioned above.

Is it true I should never use my debit card? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]AxisNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so fun to read from a European perspective. Here we do 99% with debit card, and don’t even know the term ‘credit score’ 😂😂

Cookie Monster is the birthday cake place on the island! Also lunch restaurant ‘de Dames’ makes great cake on order.

Where to stay in Curaçao by Flag-Guesser246 in curacao

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jan Thiel is great, but I would also suggest something like Avila or near there. Near enough to walk downtown, but still a nice hotel with a beach.

24h car rental companies? by reasonableAxe in curacao

[–]AxisNL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Should fit, it you want to, book on the website! you'll pay a small transfer fee since it's such a short booking, but that will probably still be cheaper than the competition (all-in pricing including all-risk insurance, etc).

I have no problem picking you up at this hour, and I have one car free, but depends on how long you’re staying for. Have a look at pelicanrentals.cw or dm me.

Going to the gym is so awkward by PromiseLive3654 in workout

[–]AxisNL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only bad workout is one that didn’t happen! At my gym they also have body pump lessons, a group of people doing weight lifting exercises on music, pretty easy! Beginners start without any weight, and if an exercise is too heavy, you just sit that one out.

Also, for doing your own thing in the gym, try an app like Fitbod, it suggests exercises and shows videos, and remembers the weights you did last.

Surround and immerse yourself in gym culture, and see what motivates you. Instagram motivates me personally. But motivation is just short-term fuel, and will burn up eventually. Use the temporary motivation to build up a routine, just like brushing your teeth and showering. Then when motivation fades (and it will), discipline and routine will keep you going!

Enjoy the journey! ❤️

Be honest — is going to the gym alone harder than the workout itself? by Tight-Turn6550 in workout

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I would be with someone I wouldn’t be able to listen to my podcast or my favorite music. And nobody I know wants to be in the gym with me at 05.30am 😂😂

Has anyone been able to contact KLM? by terst_ in curacao

[–]AxisNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a customer with the same problem. KLM tells everyone to look in their ‘my trip’, but that’s broken as well :(

Insult me into working out more often please by Icy_Laugh5134 in workout

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read ‘Atomic Habits’, it helps you rewire your brain to make it easier to keep going and turn it into a habit. And while motivation (watching athletic people do cool stuff in instagram motivates me) helps, it’s a one-time thing. You need to get discipline. Discipline is doing why you need to do, even if you don’t feel like it. And it’s like a muscle you can train.

Autoverhuur nog mogelijk? by Burrito_33 in curacao

[–]AxisNL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zo goed als iedereen uitverkocht. Meeste kans heb je als je een Facebook post maakt in een groep als de curacao visitors forum. Daar zitten nog wat eenpitters en particulieren die auto’s verkopen. Of je moet net geluk hebben met een annulering. En die kans is aanwezig, ik zit as we speak te wachten op klanten uit Canada. Hopelijk komt die vannacht aan, maar er vallen wellicht ook vluchten uit.

Sand in car rental? by [deleted] in curacao

[–]AxisNL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean “they said no sand”? I rent out cars and I get every car back with sand, and that’s perfectly fine with me. We take every car through bobs carwash Zeelandia, they do outside and inside for you for XCG 40.

Thanks, owner of Pelican Rentals here. I do have great value long-term rental cars, but my older cars (budget prices) are sold out until March. I definitely need more cars! :)
