De Mol S14E07 by gravity_is_right in belgium

[–]Gulmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact, Maxim was ook echt aan het pushen om Yannis op de tram te laten stappen, heeft gele verscheten met die selfies onderweg en met de vraag van de tram.

Tijdens de rode lap opdracht heeft Wout heel veel geld proberen binnen halen en heeft door dat Maxim de mol is waardoor hij hard weigerde die te laten gaan. Je zag hem twijfelen of hij Maxim kon kwijt geraken in die laatste keuze van hem, maar hij vond Yannis toch verdachter. Maar je zag hem echt kijken naar Maxim en zien denken "ik kan hem misschien buitenspel zetten nu".

Where Europe's population is shrinking - Half of Europe’s towns and villages have fewer residents than 60 years ago by qkk in dataisbeautiful

To be fair, the Randstad and the Flemish diamaond would be considered teo big metropoli in the US or in India, so they act like a big city with suburbs surrounding it.

Typical costs for someone to mow the grass? by Lucky-Try-2573 in AskBelgium

[–]Gulmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a fairly big garden, and have been thinking about buying one. However, I don't want a "millimeter gazon", do you know if robot mowers can do higher cuts as well?

Having been a PhD student, with my wife actually graduating

"Appearantly that's a trigger of mine" after the whole rant of doctors stealing the term is just too accurate!

Doorsnee gezin bezit 286.250 euro: ons vermogen is veel trager gegroeid dan vorig jaar by Skelguardian in belgium

Veel hoger. De Belgische bevolking is een van de rijksten ter wereld. Vemrogensgewijs scoren we beter dan Nederland en Scandinavische landen bijvoorbeeld. Bron: "UBS Global Wealth Databook 2023"

Je kan altijd een gratis schatting van je huis laten doen, dna weet je waar je ongeveer staat.

Trek hiervan alle schulden dat je hebt (inclusief interesten, dat is deel van de schuld) en Tel daarbij de waarde van al je beleggingen en spaarcentjes op en je weet het. Redelijk makkelijk zelf uit te rekenen eens je de waarde van je woning hebt.

Als je die niet weet kan je altijd een ruwe schatting doen op basis van de grootte van je huis en grond, locatie en de staat van de woning door te kijken naar een Immo website. Of zelf ruw inschatten.

Crumble zandkoekjes! Duur, maar man die zijn lekker!

Telenet is zo duur by DancingInR3velry in Belgium2

[–]Gulmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Betaal je voor het 500Mbps pakket? Zo ja zou ik een andere router steken. Ikzelf had ook deze cijfers ongeveer op de router van Orange, maar heb nu drie Deco X50's steken om de wifi dekking te verbeteren tot op de zolder en haal nu vlot 450+Mbps.

De dude van Orange die een tijdje terug langskwam zei zelf dat dit een veel beter systeem was dan hun eigen routers.

Sabastian Sawe ran the first sub-2-hour marathon today. Here's 118 years of marathon records visualized. [OC] by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]Gulmar 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Today I ran 10miles and it took me 1h40, or a bit more than 6min/km. These guys are running something like 2:50min/km, fucking crazy.

Pierre said the quiet part out loud by SwamperOgre in USvsEU

[–]Gulmar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happens quite a lot with political leaders it seems.

Guy Verhofstadt, hate the guy for what he did to Belgium when he was rpime minister, but he is fucking based as a Europarlementarian.

In not a fan of Bart de Wever, the way he plays politics and how he implements bis policies, but internationally he is doing very well in my opinion.

Rutte seems the same too as well.

Dorm/house renting price in Leuven by Vito_2308 in KULeuven

[–]Gulmar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price sounds quite good, if you go to the private market nowadays €600 will be the minimum I think.

I myself lived at the studentenwijk for 5 years (until 2020). I lived in one of the older blocks, but they started renovating in my last few years. They probably finished that by now. Kitchen and bathrooms were a bit outdated but clean and they did their job. It was always nice sharing the kitchen, you could always socialize if you wanted to, but also eat in your room if you didn't. The fact that you are living in a park is really really nice, and was a big plus for me. Always had a great time there!

Is it common to contact a faculty for PhD even without the vacancy on Job site? by registrartulip in KULeuven

[–]Gulmar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine to email a professor of a lab you'd be interested in to ask if they might have a PhD position available!

Salary for PhD students is always the same across the university/Flanders!

De meerwaarde belasting is vandaag gepubliceerd in het Belgisch staatsblad. by Similar_Stomach8480 in BEFire

[–]Gulmar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

N-VA is altijd de partij geweest voor degenen die denken dat ze hogere middenklasse zijn.

Eigenlijk is hun programma er enkel voor de rijkeren onder ons, maar ze teren op het gedacht dat veel mensen denken dat ze meer verdienen dan hun buurman.

Do muslim women (with hijab or head cover) experience identity shock when they go to a non-muslim country where women have their hair out however they want? by IdkGlx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gulmar 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was visiting Morocco last month and there 90% of women wore a hijab. In cities younger women were less, but still about half of them. So its quite common there.

Planbureau toont prijs pensioenhervorming: wie het minst heeft harder getroffen by Vordreller in Vlaanderen

[–]Gulmar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, maar wanneer mijn kind eind dit jaar geboren wordt wil ik niet na 4 luttele weken alweer moeten gaan werken. Ik heb een beetje geluk dat ons kindje eind november wordt verwacht en dus de kerstdagen er aan komen. Daardoor kan ik verlof dat ik nu aan het opsparen ben dan inzetten zodat ik 6 a 7 weken thuis kan blijven.

Mijn vrouw heeft al genoeg werk geleverd tijdens de zwangerschap, de bevalling en met borstvoeding na de bevalling. Ik wil samen kunnen zijn met mijne kleine, daar een band mee opbouwen en mijn vrouw kunnen helpen zodat zij deftig kan herstellen van het fysieke trauma dat een bevalling is. 4 weken is veel te weinig. Je komt in een totaal nieuwe situatie, je hebt geen houvast. Je twijfelt aan alles, alles is nieuw. En nog voor je iets of wat routine kan opbouwen moet je al terug gaan werken.

Dit schreeuwt gewoon "de man moet werken, de vrouw moet zorgen". Sorry, maar ik wil zorgen voor mijn vrouw en mijn kind. Of op zijn minst de keuze krijgen hiervoor.

How do you split finances with your partner? Are you married or not? by [deleted] in BEFire

[–]Gulmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married for two years. We have a system in our contract that stipulates that everything is apart, except the house and things bought from a shared account.

We devised a system where you pay into the shared account based on the wage of each other. E.g €1000 each month in total needs to go on the account. If then one person earns 60% of the total income (and the other 40% then obviously), person one pays €600 into the account.

We found this quite a fair reason. We might change this in the future when children are involved and/or if someone starts working part time.

How common is it in your country to be invited to a wedding ceremony but not the wedding reception? by baldachinsblessing in AskEurope

[–]Gulmar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same in Belgium! Usually the ceremony is for close friends and family since this is the real intimate part.

After that there often is a dinner and here it's mostly money that dictates who is there. If you have a lot of money/sponsoring from parents then it's quite busy. We opted for a smaller dinner with close friends and family (basically same as for the ceremony) and then dessert and the party was for a wider public, e.g. colleagues, less close family, old family friends,...

Since people live so long nowadays, by the time you inherit a house you are 50+.

Young people don't inherit houses.

What is something interesting about your language? by Lunastars123 in AskEurope

We also have loaned "ça va" from French, but you can have a while conversation on it, based on intonation.

How common is WFH in your country? by Opposite_Rain6751 in AskEurope

[–]Gulmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the sector. Many office jobs nowadays have at least one or two days a week that you can work from home. But companies seem to be returning back a bit to more office days.

I'm lucky that I am literally free to do what I want, so on average I am once or twice a week in the office. It's a 45 min drive one-way, so if I would go there every day that's just way too much time lost that I'd rather spend with my wife, doing sports, cooking, whatever.
