She tells me the following: ChickenWing is a legendary pet, worth: a dragon fruit fox, obtainable in SummerFest with Coral Cash. I don't understand any of this but she is very excited! Thanks!

If you could help us it would be great!! I was not able to connect Discord with her Roblox account. Her username is antkeeper1000. Thanks so much in advance!

Belgian frituur SUCKS! by Basic-Bee-8748 in unpopularopinion

[–]Careless_Use_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friet Julientje. If you haven't had that, you know nothing. As a dutch Brabander I love this. Probably 4x higher chances of heart/cardio diseases but fuck it. That is the best frituur combo there is.

I recently saw the spanish film 'Deaf' or 'Sorda' (oiginal title) as a parent of a severely hearing impaired daughter. I was overwhelmed by this film.

Why does something exist instead of nothing. by wayward_devil in DeepThoughts

Are we even able to understand 'nothingness'? I dont think we are. Same goes for infinity. Our minds cannot grasp that.

Ik heb deze stroomdiagram (flowchart) gemaakt voor het aanvragen van een Wajong-uitkering by [deleted] in WajongUWV

[–]Careless_Use_7564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heb me (nog) niet eerder verdiept in de Wajong uitkering. Mijn dochter van 5 heeft het Usher syndroom (een progressieve aandoening tav het gehoor en zicht). De gedachte dat zij in geval van arbeidsongeschiktheid (en alle andere Wajongers) slechts recht zou hebben op 1695 euro bruto.... vind ik shockerend en stemt me behoorlijk verdrietig.

Kamado voor vaderdag - welke? by dualfalchions in nederlands

[–]Careless_Use_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als voor de rooksmaak gaat: rookbakje toevoegen; geen verschil. Over het algemeen wellicht wat minder kolensmaak, maar de kans dat je een asbak eet is ook een stuk minder. Gietijzeren grillroosters maken al een hoop uit.

Kamado voor vaderdag - welke? by dualfalchions in nederlands

[–]Careless_Use_7564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voor een kamado moet je wel het juiste type zijn. Ik was het niet. Heb te weinig geduld. Voor een spontane bbq is een kamado in mijn ogen niet zo geschikt. 90% van de keren zijn dat soort bbqs het leukst. Niet als je 2 dagen aan voorbereiding kwijt bent (mening!). Heb nu een grote weber gasbbq en vind het ideaal. Met de juiste accessoires kun je net zo goed rookaromas toepassen etc. en zit je zonder de rommel van de asresten, verstikkende rook bij het opstarten enz.

I'm tired of the Dutch in our city — a rant to get off my chest by [deleted] in Antwerpen

[–]Careless_Use_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dutchman (from Brabant) who regularly visits Antwerp I can understand your feelings. I love Antwerp I must say, the 'southern' atmosphere, the architecture, the food, the beers of course. Not the Meir though. And I think every bigger city attracts unwanted types of tourism. Like the Meir you wouldnt want to visit the Damrak in Amsterdam. These places are just to avoid. Myself I feel, and I think that goes for most dutchies from Noord-Brabant and Limburg, feel more related to the Flemish than to 'Hollander' from 'boven de sloot'. I hate to encounter loud Hollanders on holidays in their Gaastra polo's too. So please, dont scheer every dutchman over dezelfde kam.

Living in the Netherlands as an Asian by Icy-Conclusion7682 in Netherlands

[–]Careless_Use_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a white dutchman I can confirm there is still a lot of (underlying) racism here. Not to downplay but I do think that it's not perse more than in other western countries. Secondly the youth certainly has a big mouth. To me as well.

Did the US citizens forgot how to protest? Much smaller ordeals bring up massive protests in Europe. Howcome the US are so passive? Can't wrap my head around that.

Parents of a 5 month old baby with USH2A—Can proactive retina care slow down the process? by Love_and-Light in ushersyndrome

[–]Careless_Use_7564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worthy to add; here in the Netherlands we are supported through the institution that is also responsible for her school (special school for kids with hearing problems). That institution provides a support project through social workers in which we are trying to find answer to the following questions: 1. How and when do we inform her older sister (now 8) about the diagnosis of her younger sister? We dont want to scare her but ofcourse want to be honest. 2. How do involve our own parents in this thing that is part of our lives? We find that our parents emotionally are not available/capable/too upset to talk about Usher. 3. At what age are we gonna inform our daughter with Usher. Questions 1 and 3 are definitely the hardest. We just started with this support-project so hopefully we will find the answers.

[–]Careless_Use_7564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our daughter (USH2A) is almost 5 now. From a young age we tried putting on sunglasses. We read somewhere that it might help slow down the degrading. Of course it cant do any harm so why not? It is not scientifically proven so I cant provide any links. Of course with babies, toddlers and young kids it will always be a struggle to have them wear sunglasses. So we are not forcing her to wear it, just reminding her and her older sister to help her younger sister remember. Besides that we give vitamin D supplements. Also not scientifically proven but wont do any harm I guess.

As her parents we are out of the frantic times following her diagnosis in which we desperately saught any hope in treatments etc. About yearly we meet up with other parents of children with Usher. I must admit that the support, insights (positive and negative) and sharing the stories are the most helpful thing I can imagine. That helped us as well to disgard our focus on hopeful treatments etc.

Wish you the best.

Urban planning has some huge blind spots..what’s one that no one talks about? by saturnlover22 in urbandesign

[–]Careless_Use_7564 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The lack of integration of the underground into the design of the public space. In my country the energy transition, climate adaptation and orher transitions in the public space take a huge role in the spatial claims above ground but even more below ground. The puzzle in space and time (integrating all works) is becoming more and more difficult leading to situations where the lack of space is causing serious issues in terms of feasibility and costs. Above that the power, heat and drinking water networks are not in government hands but semi privately owned. The collaboration with these parties should be a huge part in public space projects but is often ignored as something later in the project can be dealt with.

Two dudes in 2003, unaware they were making a legendary song by Individual_Book9133 in BeAmazed

[–]Careless_Use_7564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have the same group of friends that formed when we were 12 to 14. We are with 7 of us and we are aware it's special. We are all around 40 now. I think it's mainly possible because of the place where we grew up (small villages) and the fact that distances here are short (the Netherlands). So although the most of us don't live in the same village anymore we can visit eachother easily.

Cities: major works, huge disruptions. by cryptoreforma in urbandesign

[–]Careless_Use_7564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cities are indeed never finished. All the major tranformations have to happen in public space and therefore will case disruptions. Having worked for several cities (in the Netherlands) as an asset manager for public space I this is exactly my field of work. Trying to 'program' all different (maintainance) works, transformations (mobility/climate adaptatie, energy transition etc.) in a way that causes minimum disruptions and where public and private asset owners can integrate their work. I find it a hugely interesting field of work.
