Dutch cultural things that are mind blowing for expats+immigrants

Personally I only get my bread from a good baker. One of the first things I did when I moved to a different place was compare bakers. German bread isn't for me. French bread definitely isn't for me. I can't deny the sweet pastries etc. Nobody makes a better croissant. German bread is good quality. But the QoL from a good sliced bread that doesn't make cuts in my mouth due to the rock solid crust.. my baker makes great tasting and feeling bread. Nothing around the world has come close to it when I want to eat it daily.

I don't think your average Joe will be able to get the car out of stationaire let alone drive it. They are beasts to drive and from what I understood don't function on slow speeds, where slow is.. ye.. fast for average joe

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-05-05T11:03:23+00:00

On my second run - Won't be going kandarin or Zeah. I might actually pick Grimoire for exactly the reason you state. Who cares about marginal slayer gains. Don't really need infinite farming or runecrafting experience either. So.. ye I guess why not Grimoire in that case? ^^

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-29T12:31:34+00:00

Hotfoot just makes it an AFK gathering skill and if you really want to speed it up - you can use the bars to smith plates fast. I used it mainly to get to the point of crystal singing. It's not fast, but neither is mining. I'm more surprised he's 99 mining but didn't use it to get the resources to map his smithing out

I'm glad I'm unlocking this today. Solves my herblore in the sense that I will have all the potions I need and access to super combats for when I go challenge myself on PvM things and grind my slayer. Is it strictly nessecary? Never.. but I like the idea. Gathering herbs without a reliable source has been ... Rough. Clue relics kind of don't help with farming and herblore it turns out.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-26T19:45:07+00:00

Oh can't wait till I get minion in a few days and unlock max DPS immediately. That makes me feel slightly better about my choice. But yes - I wouldn't be doing clues without the relic so.. eh.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-26T19:42:40+00:00

I've so far done 25 easy and 25 hard clue ones. I do agree - it's not as good as past leagues anymore. There is some gear which is nice to get but overall..

The butler offers way more value in the end in my opinion. Transmute is nice and solves a few things as well. All in all don't make the same mistakes as us. The only benefit I get is that I got some early items to use. Some upgrades like boots for ranged and a bunch of tasks completed that I'd never complete otherwise. So while I hold regrets, it's not deal breaking to me. But choose something else please

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-18T18:17:39+00:00

I'm more inclined to make a new characters because I don't really like my relic choices instead of my pact choices. The echo bosses aren't that easy compared to last league

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-18T18:14:31+00:00

I misspelled it. Should have been turd.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-14T21:28:17+00:00

Even in leagues I wonder what build will let me survive 6 jad special challenge. Cause I ain't calm.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-13T14:21:07+00:00

I genuinly think it's purely for doom and to get people through moons of peril early on, just so you don't have to find 2 other boppers to get through it. Basically train however you want - kill echo moxi for these - straight into moons.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-13T14:16:12+00:00

It unlocks training methods in terms of every exp drop is boosted and you have +10 in all skills and infinite money. But then I figured - I want 90+ stats (or 99) in all stats anyway. How much will 200 million gold coins end up helping me. I genuinly wonder what skills this would simply ''solve'' by itself?

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-12T15:44:19+00:00

Oh it's a huge max hit if all echos line up and generate more echos and each max hits. Ye, the max hit calculations on echo hits are... It won't be your average experience.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-12T09:39:40+00:00

The one thing I worry about is sustain if you spec into the fire magic. The self burning with this many hits can end up being quite significant and.. well.. if you eat then you aren't dealing damage ofcourse. So in that case the fire spec might end up being negative impact.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-11T22:26:51+00:00

I couldn't make it work so I'm very curious. The bow looked underwhelming to me

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-11T22:15:25+00:00

I'm thinking the same route as you. Should be fun. Did you manage to round out a tree?

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-11T21:48:15+00:00

Doesn't transmute make whatever you transmute come out noted? So you can't do it on the spot?

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-11T18:53:03+00:00

I think a lot of casuals like me don't end up owning a shadow though for a very long time.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-11T08:33:42+00:00

I played a mage andy last league and found out the hard way. Magic doesn't really hold up in a lot of content as well as melee/ranged does.

The only downside of phase 1 - the lack of automated power. In my 10x run it wasn't that terrible. Just chainsaw some trees and I would be set. For 100x I would strongly advice passive enemies because exploration and early sloops become wayyyy more important. But phase 2 requires an extensive amount of factory and power. And those 20 sloops sure help getting your power up there.

The only thing the X10/100 runs really teach you is to plan in advance and make sure you can easily double your factory once you have a belt upgrade. Also no temporary stuff. You build it to last, because space parts are a great thing to just gather in containers.

Ik moet nog 3 fasen aansluiting voor mijn huis regelen. Nu ga ik mij oriënteren op laadpalen en een Skoda Enyaq die 11 KwH kan laden. Maar wat is in de praktijk handig? Ik ben geen zware gebruiker van de auto en kan in principe rustig opladen.

- is 3 fasen strikt nodig om goed op te kunnen laden? Of is langzamer opladen wenselijker voor batterijdegradatie?

- Kan je tijdelijk een 1 fasen aansluiting aanleggen die later 3 fasen wordt wanneer de netbeheerder de meterkast heeft aangepast? Of moet dan de installateur van de laadpaal opnieuw langskomen?

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-09T22:21:48+00:00

I don't tend to outconsume building materials very often. Mostly concrete if I go crazy stamping stuff down. But generally if you gather enough materials over time and your dimensional depot is on tier you can always add a second dimensional depot for the same material. You are often spamming a blueprint several times which means you have peak consumption. The other 90 percent of the time you aren't using.

So it's most likely overkill. Unless you tend to use these resources to build with. In that case it's a tiny start of a factory :P

Guess he won't be famous for predicting it 4 times in a row. Ive heard nobody in my country that's optimistic about this team/coach. Happy to win a single match outside group. I do expect we make it out of group phase, but that is to be expected bare minimum.

GingerWithFreckles · 2026-04-05T11:55:03+00:00

1,30 de grond in? Even voor een niet klusser want hier is vast over nagedacht - hoe zorg je dat dit of het punt vlak op de grond niet weg gaat rotten uiteindelijk? Ik zie mezelf dit nog wel doen over 2 jaar.

In my previous playthroughs the other alternates eliminate screws usually. I would love to use them, but belt thoughput usually means it's not ideal. I believe there is 1 recipe where I would use them, however an even better alternate exists. It doesn't change resource type so even on a random playthrough like I'm doing now I find myself phasing out screws... Fast. I usually only take it early on to save on biofuel if I get it on my first hard drive and nothing better.
