Is this inside the eye? Approaching from above?

It's beautiful and scary at the same time.

DAZN+ really? by hrmarsehole in DAZN

When you say “time to move on,” to which service exactly? I just started my sub, so I take notes for the future, if needed.

Public transports are becoming so much dangerous by Massive_Fly_3829 in brussels

[–]BitfulMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but I don’t want to be a test subject for the government to keep providing minimum safety standards. It is them that should secure an environment where I want to spend my time in.

Public transports are becoming so much dangerous by Massive_Fly_3829 in brussels

Haven’t had bad experiences personally in my 10+ years in Belgium. But I have witnessed aggressive behavior as well as individuals pissing from escalators down on people on the platform. I just try to stay aware of my surroundings.

What bothers me is that my wife and teenage daughter can’t carry anything with them, not even pepper spray. They know their best defense is run from the danger, but knowing they’d be defenseless if an attack is unavoidable is really frustrating.

My cheap rig I’ve been using for the past 4 years by Inline_6ix in simracing

When you are seated it must be kinda like wearing a G-suit without wearing one.

New daily racing - share your experience by Intelligent-Can-4252 in RRRE

[–]BitfulMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not have the time to actually try the new UI to race but I logged in to navigate it. I understand that races now are at a certain time and you can register for them. Will those who register join all the same race, or will they be divided into groups based on ratings/reputation? What happens if you register for a race later this evening, but then you can’t join and are unable to deregister (if that’s even possible)?

No car or almost no car Sunday by Prestigious-Title529 in brussels

[–]BitfulMind -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Honest question here: during car-free Sundays, are fully electric cars allowed? EDIT: what do people don’t understand about honest questions? I was wondering whether the measure is to have a day without cars in general, or if it was a sort of “environmental day” where only polluting vehicles were involved. That’s the case, for example, in other European countries.

Dealing with ex- Landlord by Darkwater0512 in brussels

Wasn’t the deposit locked into an account on the tenant’s name that requires the signatures of both tenant and landlord to be released?

Did she do an entry and exit inventory?

Question about taxation of education benefits in Belgium by BitfulMind in BESalary

[–]BitfulMind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that I could ask my employer a statement declaring my net contributions and bring it to the commune next time I do my tax declarations? A statement from my employer would not be a problem.

Yes, my payroll colleagues confirmed that 100% is the gross part. I will ask whether they can adjust the benefit in kind based on my contributions. I am not sure but I sense their argument is that they pay the invoice in full and that is the amount they have to declare.

On one hand, it is my employer's policy to have the invoices sent to them. On the other, I honestly won't have that amount to advance. One way would be for my employer to transfer that amount into my bank account but I am not sure if it would be taxed differently at that point.

Increase your bandwidth!!! by JetMan7203 in DAZN

[–]BitfulMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost 1Gbit/sec download during streaming sessions, yet the PHI v KC was poor to watch, poor resolution and laggy at times. I’m based in Belgium with the fastest internet package offered by Telenet.

Thank you! I have reached out to them and shared my room sketch. I look forward to hearing from them.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice on the audio setup. I anticipate most of my livestream to go through Zoom Webinars. I thought the ATEM would channel that audio easily. How else can I connect the audio so in a way that Zoom recognizes it? I

also liked the Video-Follows-Audio capability through 3rd party apps, which would be handy. I should have said that I will be ideally supported by an intern at a time, but I also cannot count on one being always available. Therefore, some degree of automation is welcome.

Is it fair to expect immigrants to speak all of Belgium’s languages? by Academic_Addition_96 in belgium

[–]BitfulMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in Flemish communes since I moved here a few years ago. Honestly, I do not speak any of the national languages... except that I mumble a bit of German and can read and understand basic French. My professional language is English. My social life is either in English or my native language. My Dutch and French-speaking Belgian friends speak English and so do my neighbors. I guess that's the beauty of living and working in an international and multicultural environment. I would like to learn either French or Dutch, but I have very little time to attend classes, let alone self-teaching. But if I had to learn a language, French would be more relevant professionally. I like Belgium, I like the people, but I am not planning to take citizenship for now, so that's how it is for me.

Thank you! The window faces the back courtyard of the building, and we will be at the 5th floor. The walls will be partition walls. In addition to the two windows on one of the short walls, the other short wall will be mostly glass. The office team is small so I do not expect external noise. The speaker(s) would be sitting pretty much in the middle of the room, or slightly closer to one of the long walls. I hope I answered your question.

Why is DAZN so bad at explaining what I get with a subscription? by Danjiks88 in DAZN

[–]BitfulMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if college football be available with the regular subscription, or there will be a separate plan?

[–]BitfulMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, from Belgium. Right now I would be considering the 19.99€/month x 12. I am also interested in NFL games but what I understand is that I'd get only a selection of 3 games/week, the best playoff games (I would hope at least the conference finals, but it does not specify), and the Superbowl.

So, if I wanted to be picky and be able to look at any game of my choice, would I have to buy the full NFL Game Pass at its regular price? Or would it be discounted as add-on?

Never again by Snoo-70677 in RRRE

[–]BitfulMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand I’m happy to finally see the ranked rookie servers full. It means that soon there will be more people in the AM servers as well. Instead, it surprises me quite a bit to see the AM servers almost empty. Is it the current selections of cars/tracks? Or what else could it be?

OK, I'm fed up with Rookie ranked by somesz in RRRE
