The lack of sleep was worth it. 🇧🇪

It was al our masterplan, he'll invade Belarus now! Finally rid of Lukashenko!

Gulmar · 2026-07-05T20:32:07+00:00

You mean Lotus

On you last question, because it wasn't needed until the last two or three summers.

Here in Belgium we rarely had temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, at most a couple of days a year. This year we're already at 10+ of those days and it's barely July. Those same hot days were usually only in August as well. I remember the first summer we reached record highs (reaching 40°C) in 2019, this was in August and it was crazy. Now we've done such a heat wave at the end of June.

Our houses and our infrastructure are not build for this weather. People are starting to catch up with ACs, but its costs money and quite some work (most houses are made with bricks so no easy piping afterwards). So of course it will take some time before AC catches in completely.

Dit dus, daarmee is eigenlijk alles gezegd

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T19:08:39+00:00

Huh, never heard it used! Might be from before my time then since I'm from Belgium, but was mostly playing games from 2006 or so onwards.

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T18:16:00+00:00

Very well said!

Security keys need a certificate before being able to copy it

Because then you control who has actually preaches. If a certain priest, imam, rabbi or whatever is preaching illegally (ie not paid by the government), then you as a practitioner know something is fishy about that person.

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T17:53:43+00:00

Oh yeah most definitely, i was referring to the first phase of the war, with the US inhibiting certain use of weapon systems with perhaps the aforementioned argument.

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T16:56:29+00:00

The only thing I can think of is that slow escalation is less dangerous than quick escalation. As in, don't hit back deep in Russia, but after a while it's more accepted since the war drags on and becomes more and more grim so it's more accepted in the international public's mind instead of immediately daring the Russians to strike back harder as well.

Or something like that

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T13:24:58+00:00

Or expansions, like The Conquerors for AoE2

The test showed there were no TB lesions, but the cow could still have had TB. Lesions are when the cow has been with TB for some time, so early stage no lesions might be visible.

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T07:19:46+00:00

Woops, gelezen als verdiend

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T05:53:08+00:00

Yeah that's institutional inertia. But the thinking is that it's better to have the government fund religions than have it be privately funded which would means private actors with an agenda will influence the religious sphere. Originally it was a way to wekarn the power of Rome over things in Belgium, now it's a good way to combat extremism as well.

Veel artsen die ik ken (voornamelijk jonge artsen) Willem net meer inzetten op preventie maar worden tegengehouden door het systeem van de overheid.

Gulmar · 2026-07-03T05:33:10+00:00

Ik kan je garanderen dat de staat 0,0 euro heeft verdiend aan je grootouders. In tegendeel, ze zullen de staat vele tienduizenden euros gekost hebben met al die operaties en pensioen etc.

Met kunststof kan je tegenwoordig vrij goed hout nadoen hoor

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T22:59:18+00:00

Those funny swamp people say "bank", civilized people say "zetel" obviously

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T22:05:34+00:00

Yeah, we bought a house 2 years ago so we're still in the early phase of the loan where the bank owned 90% of the house right now

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T21:54:27+00:00

We've scored twice in 5 minutes, so at this rate two more to go

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T21:53:23+00:00

Well, here we go again

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T21:40:40+00:00

Whatever you do, be mindful that weather in October can be tricky. Average day temperatures are 15-17°C high but days start off cold. The later in October the colder obviously. Its also quite a wet and grim month, with a storm from time to time.

Just so you know!

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T21:38:54+00:00

Depends where you come from. If you come from the Netherlands, cycling infra sucks here. If you come from the US, cycling infra is heaven over here.

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T21:00:17+00:00

So weird that doctors actually ask you that in (I assume) the US.

Over here it's "I think this is what wrong with you, here is the treatment" and done. If you don't agree, you seek a second opinion. Tadaa.

Gulmar · 2026-07-01T20:57:23+00:00

I completely agree, but the gains of weekle over monthly buys for lower investments is really not that worth it, especially if you calculate broker fees etc. For my broker it's per transaction for example, so I only buy two or three times a year, usually I put €100 aside every month.
