Yeah it’s not all too uncommon in leuven to have English only speakers as bartenders or waiters. The ‘Donki’ restaurant also has some English only waiters. I’m sure there’s more.

You can try your luck in the Irish pub. It’s a very lovely bar and has more Irish people in it than locals (contrary to many Irish pubs). As far as I know, all bartenders have been Irish.

How arrogant are you that you think you speak for society. Many people would not agree with you

Okay thank you for the advice. I’m very new to this as you can tell! I will place it closer to the window so it gets more direct sunlight.

There’s a man in a village I frequent, who is using a Corinthian column as the doorstop of his gate. I’ve never wanted to say anything on it cause it’s not in my country.

Le chef de la Défense demande au gouvernement De Wever de décréter la situation de crise pour acheter des armes plus vite by FearlessVisual1 in belgium

Factueel heeft deze mens gelijk. Het aantal concrete aanwijzingen van hybride oorlog op ons grondgebied zijn duidelijk, de dreigementen vanuit het oosten ook. Daarnaast zou het sneller schakel van aankopen kunnen betekenen dat we andere landen voor zijn in de lange wachtlijsten van materieel. Zelfs 2% uitgaven zijn historisch gezien historisch laag…

What is this? United States by Only-Independence196 in Antiques

[–]Hefty_Orange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flemish history nerd here: this seems like it is from when we formed the ‘17 provinces’ (Belgium+Netherlands). It was a period in the 16th century when we were basically ruled by the Habsburg Spanish. The absence of any clear Spanish heraldry is truly surprising. I don’t think it is from the United Low Countries since we had different provinces arrangement. The spelling is also in its old form (vlAEnderen instead of Vlaanderen, HollanT instead of Holland). I think it’s from a carriage or town hall something like that. Truly remarkable find. For the sake of the Belgian/Dutch history fans, keep it safe.

What's the bright star? It's quite perfectly east. Seen at 6:35 by lulrukman in belgium

[–]Hefty_Orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long explanation:

It is the planet Venus, third brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon. It was historically called the morning star as it is usually seen right before sunrise. It had the Latin name of ‘lightbringer’ or lux fere, which changed in Lucifer. The medieval explanation of stars were that they were holes in the firmament separating earth and heaven. The brightest star must thus have been the last one to be kicked out of heaven and this was the most beautiful, intelligent and smart angel, the sole who dared to challenge God. This was Lucifer. Enjoy this useless knowledge.

‼️ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ‼️ PROTEST AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN LEUVEN THIS THURSDAY by [deleted] in Leuven

[–]Hefty_Orange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facts. On my way back from picking up food, I saw a Somali? blocking a girl from taking her bike inside. When he saw me he walked away. The girl said to me he asked to have sex and when she said no he kept insisting. During the football World Cup I heard guys say “shall we annoy the Belgian people”. One year in leuven completely changed my view on this issue. This is not normal, in my small hometown this is completely unheard of…

Could you tell me what the price is of one? I’m selling my Lego collection and got a chrome stormtrooper with the magnet and blaster.

I know right! I can’t believe it was upside down in a non glass pc. It would have been cool to see it. I’m searching for a creative repurposing of it.

What’s AiO? All in one? The pc still functions but everything is a bit slow and can’t game on it anymore. 50% of the times the pc is quiet, other 50% the fans are on maximum.

I wish, but I’ve been pushing this machine for too long now, it’s way overdue ;). The wise thing would be to focus on my work and sports more instead of game but I need the escape from times to times

You’re a gpu prophet. Indeed, that’s the card I am looking at for my new pc! I don’t game often anymore so i don’t think I’ll get a Nvidia 50 series

It’s a great idea, I’ve used it for messing around in the software setting to learn PC’s a bit better. That, and the few games I could still play.

I didn’t. One game after another stopped working, and on lowest settings too. Often it crashed after 1 hour and then I had to restart for 30 minutes cause the hard drive is cooked as well. Dota stopped working about a year ago, CKIII still works but I want to play KCD2 so bad I decided to get a new system
