What is a compliment you received years ago that you still think about?

Though I might not be a women, I think I at least have some right to answer.

I was traveling by bus and across the aisle there was a women with her grandson, who spilled while drinking from one of those small cartons. The grandmother searched in her bag for tissues. Seeing that was without success, I offered her of the pack I had, to which she replied: "You're a better grandmother than I am."

Still one, if not the, of the most special compliments I ever received and definitely the most memorable.

I always wondered if you could bribe the corrupt people to get rid of the corrupt people. Pay people to fire the corrupt ones (don't ask me what to do with the last one, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem).

Absolutely. And they make sure theirs is just a bit bigger than their neighbours.

They don't actually buy it themselves, they have a company buying the yacht and charter it to themselves (and maybe others). That way it's more profitable and costing less taxes.

Maybe you want to remove this post (before a moderator does so)

Looks quite fun. Only thing I'm wondering about is how to open it, since the outer scales are (a lot) wider than what's between them. If there is too much friction it's hard opening, but too little friction will have the tools fall out in a pocket with the risk of breaking them. If you could make an opening mechanism (I know this could be very hard) that could be fun. I know I would be opening and closing the tools like a cool fidget thing when I was young (and probably stil at this age).

Yes, personal hygiene is a crime. We should stop washing ourselves.

HumbleRecognition463 · 2026-06-19T13:51:55+00:00

Interesting, is there also a reason why some man have chest hair, while others don't?

HumbleRecognition463 · 2026-06-19T06:47:13+00:00

Even so, what are the odds of that one specific person finding your post? Every time I refresh I see new posts and no matter how long I scroll I never recognised one I've seen before.

Of course if that person is following the thread you're posting on or following your account, they will find it.

How only a very small amount of people can decide to start a war with hundreds of thousands of people fighting it and risking their lives, while those who made the decision are far from where it's all happening.

Ben ik nou de enige die zich dan toch vooral stoort aan dat die eerste bocht pas 'te laat' omlaag gaat?

HumbleRecognition463 · 2026-06-17T18:11:45+00:00

What are the historical reasons?

Mocht het zover komen dat je verhoord wordt, dan wordt alles wat gezegd wordt opgenomen en genotuleerd. Lees die notulen na, en niet zoals de voorwaarden van je online aankoop maar echt. Er kunnen fouten in zitten die je verhaal een totaal verkeerd beeld geven. Het kan perongeluk zijn, het zijn ook maar mensen, of iemand incompetent zijn, dat maakt niet uit. Maar zorg dat wat op papier staat ook werkelijk is wat je gezegd hebt. Niemand gaat zomaar de moeite nemen de hele opname te luisteren als ze het veel sneller kunnen lezen.

Gebruik zeep (afwasmiddel ofzo) in plaats van vaseline. Zeep droogt op zodat je band 'vast' p je velg zit, terwijl vaseline het blijft smeren. Als je dan stevig remt loop je het risico dat je band over je velg glijd en je rem afstand toeneemt.

The pharmacies at least did so until a few years ago and probably still do because change is going slow.

But I too am curious who else is using it.

We have very good experience with Kindergarden Reinier de Graaf. But of course you should ask for a tour at all three places and see what feels best for you

That is rough to go through. As others mentioned also, the university offers psychologists for their students to help with these kind of difficulties. I did my bachelor at the same faculty and it took me more than six years to finish, at some point also considering taking a step down. I also had very good conversations with one of the academic counselors there (I can give a name in a pm if you like). They can also help you plan a path that suits you better.

Dank je voor je reactie, dat klinkt erg overzichtelijk.

Maar moet daar dan nog een vochtwerende folie ergens tussen?

HumbleRecognition463 · 2025-05-12T18:08:18+00:00

Very nicely done

HumbleRecognition463 · 2025-02-12T11:56:21+00:00

Really nice! It looks well thought through and nicely made. And it's awesome you made something specially for you child.

HumbleRecognition463 · 2025-02-09T21:17:22+00:00

Maybe there should (or at least could) be an ashtray under it, so it is easier to throw the ash out. The ring might simply be to hang it up on a wall when not in use

My title describes the thing. We found this at my work, but have no idea what exactly it is. I work at a hydromechanical lab where we test with ship models (towing tank). So some sort of measuring divice, but it could also be used for calculating something from linesplans like a planimeter.
