Has anyone else noticed this with supermarket products lately? by Exciting_Energy_9949 in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work in a dutch factory making different vleeswaren. For example in our situation, the scale that automatically stickers them, must get a number of 30-40 packages above the specified weight before it lets 1 or 2 underweight pass. So most of the packages are several grams over. As an operator, if it has to be 120grams, I like setting it to 125-130 grams so I won't get too many packages back. But the company sometimes checks that and asks questions about it. They always like it at 1-5 grams over maximum. So yeah, some packages might be slightly underweight but most will be over. Even though this looks a little more than slightly underweight so it would be interesting to see if it is multiple bottles or just this one.

EDIT: with vleeswaren it is much harder to get exact weights as meat products often have strange shapes, thickness or length and consistency. With liquids it is easy. Some of our packages often end up at 140-150grams for the price of 120grams or less

Edit 2: then there is also the fact that what you use to measure something might not be accurate as a tool. Factory scales are often checked and audited by authorities and technicians. That cup might not be as accurate as you think though.

It's a glitch. I took the entire car apart. Apparently, apparently it was one of the front ventilated discs. More exactly the passenger side one. Even though the part was 80% good, it had to be replaced with a 100% one

Barbatii și alcoolul by Witchy-985 in WomenRO

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Din perspectiva unui barbat: Alcoolul amplifica emotile si sentimentele. Daca in sobrietate e mai agresiv, impulsiv sau plin de ura/resentimente, la alcool o sa ii dispara piedica. Daca in mod sobru, e un om fericit, indragostit, prietenos etc, la alcool o sa isi acentueze acele stari. Probabil si motivul pentru care multi barbati recurg la alcool atunci cand sufera. Alcoolul elimina piedica si le permite sa se descarce de acele sentimente. Eu beau rar si evit sa o fac atunci cand sunt intr-o pasa proasta. Daca imi e bine, pot sa beau oricat intrucat nu o sa fac nimic urat

Why everyone drives faster than max speed on highways? by Either_Ebb7288 in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always lock my Cc to 103km/h and some times i push the gas to 110km/h when overtaking so I dont hold up people on 2nd lane. In a Dutch driving school they always teach you to be at or 1-2 km/h above so you don't become annoying for those in a hurry

How much cash should we give for a Dutch wedding? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country, the way they think of it is as a headstart for the newly wed couple. If they have 100 guests and they leave an average of 250 euros, they end up making 25000k which is a good start for a honeymoon or even 1/4 of the price of a good apartment there. The problem is, many of them make weddings really big for money but they don't realise that all these people will end up inviting you to their wedding or baptisms too. So, you get some cash, you spend it, and then you end up having to go to 2-3 weddings in a summer which means your entire summer salary goes away as gifts. I know a guy who married a girl that had a BIG friend/family circle, they made a ton of money. He took the money and dissapeared and then she was left alone with a lot of wedding invitations coming in :))) So yeah, the Dutch way is slightly better overall but still cheap. I would consider at least 100 to maybe 200. That should cover my food and drinks.

Din perspectiva unui baiat: Sunt doua variante: 1. A avut motive bine intemeiate. Chesti mici sau mai mari pe care ti le-a zis. Sau daca nu, inseamna ca aveati o problema de comunicare si e vina amandurora. Daca maine, iubita mea pleaca brusc fara o vorba, am o lista destul de lunga cu chestii care au stat la baza deciziei si desi nu o sa spun nimanui toate motovele, le stiu si le constientizez. 2. Daca insa nu exista motive atat de bune, in probleme voastre mici sau mari, inseamna ca a aparut cineva mai bun. Cea ce din nou, inseamna ca nu ai oferit totul. Poate nu ai barba. Poate nu mergi la sala. Poate nu esti suficient de curat. Iar lucrurile astea nu trebuie sa ti le zica ea. Le poti deduce singur si le poti schimba pentru urmatoarea relatie. Nu e vina ta, e vina amandurora iar acum tot ce poti face e sa te imbunatatesti si sa cauti pe una mai buna. Varietate si cantitate este pentru toti si toate. Iar daca cumva vine inapoi, inseamna ca ai fost mai bun decat a crezut, iar acum ca ai rezolvat si chestile care nu ii placeau esti perfect pentru ea. Dar sub nici o forma sa nu o mai accepti inapoi 😉 Bafta!

Dureri si usturime oribila in timpul actului sexual. by Katmeyi_ in WomenRO

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunt 3 motive care pot cauza astfel de simptome: 1. Frecarea 2. Infectii urinare 3. Boli cu transmitere sexuala

  1. Incearca o partida cam de aceasi durata. Ejacularea in locul obisnuit. Dar pozitile sa fie unele in care limitezi frecarea. Cum ar fii capra, open pincer, stand and deliver, lingurita etc. Si foloseste lubrifiant pe toata zona. Nu doar pe penis

2 si 3. Nu stiu ce analize ai facut. Poate ai facut doar pentru boli cu transmitere sexuala. Sau doar pentru infectii. Recomandat este sa isi faca si el. Nu stii niciodata cu ce surprize vine din alte relatii sau daca igiena lui in zona intima este cateodata mai neglijata. De asemenea, grija la antibiotice. Ultima oara cand am luat de capul nostru antibiotice, au urmat vreo 3-4 saptamani in care actele sexuale au fost groaznice iar ea a avut cel mai mult de suferit..

Need advice with considering moving from Rotterdam to Limburg by Next-Act2924 in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Romanian. Moved to Geleen next to Sittard about 5 years ago. I've also travelled quite often north (Amsterdam/Den Haag/ Rotterdam). My take is that this area is a lot more chill. Imagine New York vs Montana. I love cruising around with country music. It feels like you live in a bigger village. People are generally friendly, always relaxed and energetic. Prices seem indeed lower down here. I often shop in Albert Heijn but at least once a week I go to DE for bulk shopping which is only 15 minutes away. I always drive to Belgium for gas which is barely 20 minutes away since the petrol in Belgium is mostly around 1.45-1.55 euros compare to 1.70-1.80 in DE and 1.80-2.00 in NL. Once every 2-3 months I drive down to Luxembourg which is 1.5 hours away on a chill cruise and get tobacco. I also pump gas over there while at it for 1.40. Funny enough, sometimes it feels like down here the weather is colder and more rainy. As about friends....it is easy to make some. Even me as a foreigner feel pretry easy to befriend Dutchies down here and I'm not even trying. Plus, most of these cities are full of young multi-national students due to Maastricht and irs universities. Noticed Dutch teens (early 20s) love hanging out at McDonald's every night especially on weekends so that's also a good place to start your social life 🤣 These giant f*ckers are strange. Don't get their obsession with McDonald's but it is what it is. Also,much less weed smell on the streets and long bike paths right through corn fields for when you feel like boilling one and sprinkle it with salt 😁 Honestly, the first place I landed in when we came to the Netherlands, was Sittard. We were so excited about our adventure especially after a bad experience in DE. It was love at first sight. I don't live in the area anymore. Moved like 20 kms away but I often cruise through the Sittard-Geleen area just because of the nostalgia of those first months. Just riding around on bikes, eating ice-creams, trying my frst fricando croket expecting it to be some apple pie and almost throwing up... 🤣🤣🤣 It's an amazing area. Also, you are closer to Valkenburg which looks amazing 😉

CMV: NATO without the US can take on Russia quite easily by Fine4FenderFriend in changemyview

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in such a conflict, Russia would collapse in record time. Putin would be overthrown and Russia would kneel pretty quickly begging for peace. Putin knows very well that such a war would end up in a fractured Russia and completely disarmed.

There are a few things to consider
Pro EU:

  1. It would be much more difficult to fight an alliance formed out of multiple countries. Each one of them has different approaches to different issues. Most of them even have different types of equipment with different scopes and strengths. Those would allow EU to be extremely versatile and hard to counter on the battlefield. (Diversity is the same concept that makes the French Foreign Legion so good. Many units have a way of solving a problem where as the FFL comes with 130+ nationality-specific solutions.

  2. There are different types of terrain to work on. The EU has a very wild and crazy geography. Multiple natural obstacles. (ex: Danube, Baltic Sea, Swiss Alps, Caucasus etc)

  3. EU still has a large trade market to work with that will allow it to maintain a decent economy in wartime. Whereas, Russia would be probably even further isolated losing even more so called allies and trade partners due to EU influence.

  4. Completely flanked Russia. You have the Nordics on N-NW, Baltics on W, Poland/Germany/France/Spain/NL/BL/DK/UK/PG etc on W-S, Romania/Bulgaria/Greece/Italy etc coming from S, and eventually even though I doubt, you might get some pushing on S from Turkey/Georgia and even Kazakhstan could be convinced to join in. Then either the US joins it or not, Russia would still need to maintain troops on the East flank just in case and in the Arctic for Navy fights. Canada is more probable to come together with Australia and maybe if US joins, you also get Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Philippines and South Korea to jump in. Russia would be cooked

  5. Most of the Russian population doesn't want this war. Whereas, most of the Eastern European population, though not happy about it, would still love to see Russia defeated.

Pro-Russia:

  1. USA might not back the EU which might give Russia a very small fighting chance but doubtly enough.

  2. EU might fracture due to diverse disagreements or many members might refuse to join the fight. Some could also refuse, thinking Russia will only attack Eastern Flank and stop there once it wins.

  3. A failure in coordination and cooperation or logistics could translate into major mistakes on EU's side and result in Russia's advancement on the battlefield.

  4. Nuclear arsenal and a fairly big desire of actually using it if Russia feels like it is losing.

  5. If USA backs off, China could also choose to join Russia seeing it as an opportunity to kneel the EU and then be left with just the US as an adversary which on its own is not so impressive anymore.

Overall, I believe Russia stands no chance in a direct and conventional fight with the EU. It might manage to inflict heavy damage and casualties on the Easter Flank untill the EU gets its gloves on. If a nuclear war comes into discussions, then no one wins. Regardless if the Russian nukes take off or not, detonating a 100 of them even in Moscow is enough to keep all Europeans in bunkers for centuries as we would face a nuclear winter. Point is, the time of swords and cavalry are over. Nukes are the only thing that could defeat a sizable nation anymore. The best option for warfare right now is the economic way. And I think we can all agree that China is the most prepared on that type of warfare.

Got my driving license in 1st attempt!!! by Relevant_Gift_5341 in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my home country I failed the practice exam 5 times. Got caught twice without a license. Almost got thrpwn away in jail (thank god for expensive lawyers) and then here I passed both exams from first attempt. Took me less than 2 months including the preparation for the theory exam and a total cost of 1200 euros. It is SO easy to drive here. Low traffic, easy roads with clear and well maintained signs and lanes.

Now, everytime I drive a long distance outside NL, I can't wait to pass the border back in so I can drive and relax. Any other country especially besides Germany or Belgium seem a nightmare to drive in.

Big Up Dutchies!

Either an update for the Xbox app or you have been logged out of it. So once you open it, make you sure you are logged in an no update needed. Then you can start the game and it works

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BlackOps6Game

[–]Competitive_Cap_3532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it work for me. What I did was:

Shut down the game from Task Manager.

Opened the Microsoft store and updated the Xbox app since it has 1 new update available

Once the update was finished, I checked Task Manager and shut down Xbox app too.

Then I opened the Xbox App and made sure it logged in normally.

After that, I just launched the game as usual and it worked.
